Canon EOS M Mirrorless Digital DSLR Camera Tutorial for Making Great Video!

[@dchardin1]

I recently purchased an EOS M for a bargain. What a great camera! Thank you for getting me up to speed.

[@jbasproductioneditorial138]

Excellent! Migrating from the dark-ages of the Canon G2 to this Canon EOS M2 - I find this marvelous! Well presented, clear, concise, very good and appropriate images.

[@barrowmeoct04]

Have had this camera for 5 years and used it to make some videos, but believe it or not, I only cracked open the manual today because I was trying to understand the HDMI output and the audio/visual/digital output. I'm here because it's about time I actually start understanding the camera. Great sense of humour by the way!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Good luck with your Canon EOS M camera. It's a good one.

[@abchappell01]

That was a wonderful and easily understandable presentation. Thank you so much 😊

[@jousiammuntakanava]

I just bought used canon eos m to replace my canon legria hf r606 and this video is just perfect to get the settings right. Thanks for an amazing tutorial.

[@opethman81]

wonderfull, well thought out and relaxed explanation. well done!

[@fununclenerfs]

You know he means business when he removes the eyeglasses!

[@BagaSand]

thats some anime shit

[@adam_apple]

i just bought a Canon EOS M and got no manual with it so this video is very helpful thank you

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad it helped. Thanks for commenting and for watching the video!

[@GoGoGoRunRunRun]

You can download the pdf manual. It's very detailed, 350 pages.

[@B_Chanslor]

I'm about 8 min into this video and already it's one of the greatest things out there. The part where he acts like the guy in the background is slapping him...jeez. I can't stop laughing and I'm supposed to be working. Oh yeah, this camera is great, too. I just got mine for around $170 with a lens, a strap, a cable, battery/charger and an instruction manual in Spanish (which I can't read) and I couldn't be happier. I love this camera..

[@DonnaDyble]

:( I get stuck at step 2. I bought my camera in the UK & my 1280x720 is only 50fps & the icons for selecting shutter speed just aren't there.

[@Yourfavphotog]

I’m going to buy this camera and the video was very helpful. Thanks!

[@dougieladd]

I just bought this camera.. I was wondering if you are wandering around... what's the best setting for moving subjects (in terms of video). Thanks, learning a lot.

[@Streetorvintage]

This was very helpful, thank you! I use the canon eos m for my videos, and hopefully this improves the quality :)

[@alexiooloopzesa5323]

Thanks for the video!

[@ishanmajumdar6134]

Very useful tips given in a crisp manner without overwhelming me 🤟 Great job 😊

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thank you for watching the video and for commenting, I appreciate. Glad it helped you!

[@jayllineholland5238]

Thank you for your video. However pressing info. I cannot bring up Aperture or TV?

[@TazerOnlineMedia]

Wait. I have the EOS M but it does not have that shutter speed button?

[@gost3961]

thank you for your good tutorial . can someone tell me please -- on which canon camera possible to do the TRIMMING AND EDITING RIGHT ON THE CAMERA , REAL TIME ON THE SPOT ? no one SHOW it on youtube !!!

[@ShinyArjunSingh]

Nice one, Subscribed. Please keep them coming.....

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Thanks man! great vid. I just got EOS M to upgrade from a bridge camera and to see how much more I can do.

[@stairwaytovideoeditingforb5238]

Thanks for the comment!! Just wanted to let you know that I thumbed through your site and absolutely loved the 1956 Chevy Pickup in bright yellow!! What camera did you use to shoot that video?

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Stairway To Video Editing for Beginners Thanks for the compliment! That was actually just shot on a Canon SX50 HS bridge camera. It's not the best camera out there for video but for a starter photography camera... it's just about perfect! That truck also belongs to a friend of mine. its quite the beast :) it was on the cover of the last LMC trucks catalog with some of my shots chosen :)

[@virginiamolinamoreno3383]

Hi ⚠️I have a question: I have a CANON EOS "M" and was looking for a wireless ttl / hss studio flash (not speedlight). I have seen the Visico 5 with trigger 818 TX or a Neewer vision 5 (which are practically the same). Can you tell me if it is compatible) or what should I look at in order to know what it should or should not have for compatibility? Thanks a lot

[@Pure-Minty]

Very enjoyable tutorial. Apart from learning how to use the camera properly it was so funny to watch this guy is hilarious we watched it a second time with friends. Was looking for other tutorials to do with this camera as we just bought it but no luck. Thanks.

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment!! Glad you liked it!

[@PaulaLH29]

this video was so helpful i loved it

[@adilistamumtaz6108]

Thanks a lot that's was a great video, your explanation is very well, iam happy because I can find how to set up in manual setting in my camera after waching your video (FYI I use Canon eos M3). once more time thankyou From Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@StairwayToVideo]

You’re welcome!! Glad the video helped you. Good to hear from you from Indonesia!! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!

[@Nunekhiia]

Does it autofocus while filming? example when the subject moves? and if it does how good is it?

[@StairwayToVideo]

It does NOT autofocus while filming. You'll have to set up your scene, focus the camera where you want the subject to be, then film. If you move while filming, the focus won't follow. Thanks for the question!! Good Luck.

[@CeLia9343]

For picturestye is it for video and can i set it in my canon m10?

[@denismv6709]

Just what I was looking for in terms of setup for filming tutorials, thank you

[@StairwayToVideo]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video. Good luck!!

[@HS-eq3gk]

might be a stupid question. when i switch to video mode everything is in manual mode, is there a way to shoot in auto-mode when shooting video?

[@tromboneJTS]

If you define shutter speed, aperture and ISO according to presets, how do you adjust exposure levels?

[@raytsakalas5381]

Can you do one if you want to do a cinematic setting

[@sandycodfish]

Hey do you know how to share videos and photos through WiFi on this model?

[@gpa7153]

Great tutorial, I'm considering to buy EOS M mainly for video purpose, but need to be sure whether this thing have manual audio control or not (to control the sound level), can you please confirm? Thank you.

[@PrinticeTech]

+Gema Andrey it does

[@abchappell01]

Awesome video .Thank you so much. :)

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thank you. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@BenjaminLalro]

I have a canon M 10 and this video really helps me.. thanks.

[@andrewtimmerman9336]

This was so helpful. Can't thank you enough!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks Andrew! Glad you liked the video.

[@CaiCarney]

I can't get over how many times this guy takes off his glasses in this video LOL

[@adinatdevsarma1664]

It's a great explained 🙏👍

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thank you! I hope the video helped. Thanks for commenting.

[@ZawLinnNaing]

thank you sir! this video really helpful to me

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad it helped!! Thanks for commenting and for watching the video!!

[@magicgio7862]

how do you use an external monitor with EOS M? thank you!!

[@johngoodwin34]

Just purchased a M3. Could this tutorial be used to set up your video settings. Seems different settings are needed.

[@StairwayToVideo]

John, Thanks for the question. I don't know the answer to your question for sure, but I would think that Canon would have left the menu settings similar to the original Canon M camera. Let me know if that's true once you start navigating your menu settings. Jim

[@CleaningGuide]

Hi Jim, is there a special program you use to edit your videos and is there a way to hook the camera straight up to the computer so you do not have to remove the memory card? when I try to view my videos on the computer its slow and distorted. I appreciate any feedback you could give on solving this issue.

[@ArtOfDavidAmos]

What is the maximum recording length. ??

[@jamisusijarvi646]

i think its always 30min because of some licensing reason

[@blue_ranger]

Yeah, The EU controversially decided to classify high-end digital cameras as video recorders, which attached a customs duty of 5-12% for digital cameras imported into Europe. Things like this make me understand why Brits want to leave them.

[@detailsmove]

Hey Jim, is there any way you can do this type of video for the Sony RX100m3? I would highly appreciate it!

[@larrytam2869]

Hi, May I ask what is 180 degrees Shutter Rule? Thanks!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Larry, The 180 Degree Shutter Rule is at the 5:00 minute mark on the video. Watch it carefully and it explains what it is. It's basically what film makers have figure out as to what makes a good technical video in terms of how our eye sees motion. Thanks for the question!!

[@Friskee62]

+Larry Tam ...OR, Google your question.

[@_jessica_Queen]

How do you connect to edit it into downloading to you to please please someone tell me

[@santamulligan676]

[@Oureverydayspaces]

Hi Jim. This was a very informative video! I have this camera and I cannot get the video to focus, especially when I film myself talking. I have the 22mm lens and the option to turn off the image stabilizer is not appearing on my menu. Any suggestions?

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for the question. If you go to the 11:36 minute mark on the video, it talks about how to focus. Even the 22mm lens has that option. The camera will NOT focus automatically when you are using the video function. You have to focus the lens at the point where you will be standing manually, by turning the knurled part of the lens, then get into the scene and film. If you move around, the focus will be lost unless you stay in the same spot. As far as turning off "Image Stabilization," go to the 11:36 mark and check that out. At the 12:00 mark, I show how to shut off the Image Stabilization. I hope that helps. Good Luck!

[@Oureverydayspaces]

Ok I will try to shoot in manual and see how that goes. Thank you so much your help and this helpful video!!

[@AnnabellRuiz]

I also don't have an image stabilizer option even though i have followed the instructions. Could there be another setting stopping it from appearing?

[@jayvernon907]

I want to shoot a music video What lens should I get

[@TheDailyDumauX]

thank you so much for this video. it was very helpful and insightful!

[@LovesickAussieBoy]

Hey, good video. I want to use my EOS M for live streaming, as well as video, so I want the HDMI signal to run continuously for at least two hours. I've been able to disable the 30 minute recording limit using Magic Lantern, but the LCD screen still shuts down after a maximum of 30 minutes and so does the HDMI out signal. There's no menu option to make it stay on continuously. have you heard of a solution to this problem?

[@dchardin1]

Clifford have you ran this by the Magic Lantern forums as well? They may have an idea.

[@LovesickAussieBoy]

​@@dchardin1 Thanks I did work it out. But I ditched the M for streaming anyway. The HDMI output is low res.

[@StephanieGagos]

thanks so much for your video. I am recording with fluorescent lights, two big ones, while I am actively painting and then I time-lapse the video in post...I have some flickering. Wondering if these settings would still be good for my situation?

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for the question. So first, what country are you in? The reason I ask is that in the USA those fluorescent tubes are flickering at 60Hz while in Europe they are flickering at 50 Hz. Next question for you: How many FPS or Frames Per Second do you have the camera set for. 24fps? Or 30fps?, etc

[@StephanieGagos]

I am in the US and I have it at 30fps or 1920/30fps.

[@StairwayToVideo]

There are a lot more knowledgeable people out there than myself, concerning time lapse, so I'm attaching the following URL for you to digest. A lot of times flickering can be caused by an "automatic setting" you may have on your camera; Like auto white balance, etc. www.learntimelapse.com/time-lapse-exposure-avoiding-flicker-and-dragging-shutter/

[@StephanieGagos]

thanks so much for taking the time. By following your directions and the rules for the florescent lighting and the shutter speed, the flickering is gone. Now though I am testing to adjust it so it's a bit more sharp and the white balance is where I want it. It's too blue on the florescent light setting for white balance. I was told to use auto but I see that you are saying it can cause the flickering too, so I will have to test. Thanks again and I will look at the link.

[@WMorroWM]

Thanks for video! Very informative!

[@_jessica_Queen]

How do you do so it’s like an iPad so you can edit it

[@manuud311]

Hey man, I'm really trying to learn film making and i want to make videos and films.. my question is, does a mic connected to a sound recorder make a better quality sound?? Should I buy a sound recorder for my mic or plug it directly into my eos m? When I record with my 100 dollar mic I can still hear annoying background noises.

[@bikdav]

How many hours of continuous video can I shoot without the EOS M shutting off or dividing up the files. On occasion (not that often), I need to shoot about 2 hours of video.

[@SybilCreates]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

[@YOBABYMAMAHEROSGAMINGCHANNEL]

Great entertaining video, and tutorial thank you

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for watching my video and for the kind comment!

[@YOBABYMAMAHEROSGAMINGCHANNEL]

You're welcome i just purchased this camera recently n this was much needed information

[@ZequiHouseRD]

Thanks a lot for this awesome walk through, I just bought my EOS M and new to manual video, my only question is I heard if you record at 24 fps your family stop should be at 1/50 how do you set that up on eos m?

[@ZequiHouseRD]

I meant f-stop no family stop

[@StairwayToVideo]

I think what you are referring to is Shutter Speed. So, if you are shooting at 24 frames per second (fps) you'll want to change your shutter speed to around 1/50th of a second. I explain it around the 5:00 minute mark in the video. It's called the 180 Degree Shutter Rule. Thanks for the question and for watching my video!! Jim

[@ZequiHouseRD]

+Stairway To Video Editing for Beginners thanks a lot, yeah I still confuse the terms haha just learning

[@ZequiHouseRD]

+Stairway To Video Editing for Beginners i would love to see a tutorial on this camera on shooting raw with magic lantern, there are tons of video test on KZbin but not even one tutorial about the set up

[@amritagiri1527]

It was such a helpful video! Thanks sir ☺

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and for commenting on it!

[@GlamByLala]

thank you very much, i film with a M10 and is a little frustrating i dont know how to use it, im gonna change the setting on the camera to see if it works, do you know how to make the background blurry with the M10?

[@sonibelrae821]

Glam By Lala To do that you need a certain lens. I recommend a low f stop. So anything under f 2.0. Also make sure to move your subject away from the background. Eg don't stamd against a wall. Step away to get the subject solely in focus. You can get great vintage lenses for under 100. Look for portrait lensess too so 50mm 35mm and upwards. Try to get primes they are sharper. Hope this helps

[@BlizkyGames]

I wonder whats that icon with an asterix on the right of the screen.

[@GoaTalentnetwork]

This video is a time saver ... wow thanks

[@homahotin4251]

Which camera is better? eos m or eos m3

[@MikeKokoschka]

I got the eos m2 and is very good

[@MiracleWinchester]

M3 is good and builds on the eos m. The m3 also has the flip up screen which is perfect for vlogging

[@mikecrees159]

why have an adapter on your michrophone lead when you have a 3.5mm jack

[@prettyboyrajee21vlogs71]

PLS HELP ME IM PRESSING THE SHUTTER FOR SO LONG BUT ITS NOT TAKING ANY PICTURES

[@EileenEdit]

I just got the Canon EOS M5 to shoot videos but I need to use the remote app. Everytime I press the button, it takes a picture vs a video of me even tho I have the setting in video mode. How can I use my Canon app and record videos on my M5?

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for the question. Let me know what app you are using and if you have the camera enabled to be able to use the remote app? Thanks.

[@MuhammadMundir]

Thanks very helpful. Now I use eos m

Thanks for commenting and for watching the video. I’m glad it helped you! Again, thanks!

[@stevejee6377]

I think the main issue with the EOS M videos are the moires that can also be seen in this video. Any way to get rid of them?

[@StairwayToVideo]

Steve, The only way that I know to get rid of "Moire" is to slightly keep your subject out of focus. Hope that helps!

[@CheapGeek]

EOS M, really is a great camera. Thanks!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for the comment. Really like your channel! Jim

i want to shoot t 60 frames per second but every time i do it, it crops my videos when i post them on youtube how did you make yours fit the whole screen

[@StairwayToVideo]

I don't know if this will help you or not, but it may be the way you are saving your file in your editing software. Check out this quick information from KZbin: support.google.com/youtube/answer/6375112 I hope this helps.

[@StairwayToVideo]

Or, it could be the way you have your camera set-up to shoot your video.

Great video except for the music; to me it's distracting. Why have something in competition with you...should I listen to you or the music?

Problems importing files I just bought a Canon EOS 600D camera on which installs in the famous program such as MAGIC LANTERN and CYNESTYLE. My problem is the following when I film with my Canon EOS 600D and I try to import the video file into your editing software ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 and even ADOBE AFTER EFFECT CS3 software told me [file formats not supported]. Should I convert the files to use them? If so in what format if not how. Thank you to answer me
