Canon R5 Tutorial & Best Camera Settings

[@minagirgis2222]

I never comment on videos. I know You might not even read this comment. But I felt the urge of telling you; This is a great video. A lot of effort has been made and this is obvious. I have an R6 and It covered everything. I recommend adding this to the search words to expand the reach

[@RichardDawson-xv4vd]

All you need to do, in evaluating this video, as well as others, is look at the count of views and likes. Tony and Chelsea are among the very best teachers on the internet, regardless of subject.

[@navicto]

What could bring a person to dislike this video? This is amazing, Tony. Thanks! I have an R6 and this covered all I needed.

[@huexley]

Stupidity probably.

[@mdturnerinoz]

A non-Canon shooter, perhaps (or just a jerk)? Disliking free (and well done) content is beyond my comprehension (other than what I said here earlier ...)!

[@Chris-ey7zy]

I learned alot within the first 5 minutes. And I don’t even own this camera or Canon mirrorless

[@phillipratzloff8923]

I just received my R5 2 days ago. This has saved me so much time. Thanks!

[@alanm.6096]

Well done as always. If you're going to shell out 3-5,000 for a camera body, I don't know why you'd even visit the camera store until you watch these detailed product reviews. So many times, people have expressed regret in buying their camera because they didn't do their homework and establish what their needs really were. Video's like Tony's will provide you with most of the info you'll need. And he's great at pointing out what some of the weaknesses are so you won't make any misinformed decisions. A good return on investment!!!

[@BarryEager]

Hey Tony, I just bought the R5 and was wading my way through the 900+ pages of manual. Most of the detail was over my head but your tutorial not only offers great tips but explains the benefits and purpose. As a result, you will have accelerated my use of the R5, which I am quite excited about, Thank you... I have Subscribed btw.

[@CharlieSilverlock]

Thank you for all the time and massive effort you and Chelsea put in, hugely appreciated. Have most of your books, anyone in any doubt, just get them, no BS like many tutors

[@joegeorge4983]

Tony, you are a serious professional. I tip my hat to you. You saved me hours of reading that giant manual. Thanks so much.

[@nataliekirbydalen1138]

WOW thank you! You are so thorough and detail-oriented! I LOVE your pace. No fluff and you move through like boom boom boom. Exactly what I want as a time-crunched mom of 5! I found you on a random google search on how to operate my new R5. I have since purchased two of your books. Super grateful for your work on educating fellow photographers!!!!!!!

[@Twst704]

Hi Tony. Per your comment on charging older batteries... I picked up a BG-R10 and I plugged my MacbookPro (USB-C) power supply into my R5, with my old 5DMK4 batteries installed in the BG... And they're charging! Maybe the older batteries don't USB charge in the actual (R5) camera, but they do if they're installed in the R5 battery grip which is great news!

[@lenzyruffin]

Except for my 5D3, I don’t shoot Canon anymore (Fuji). So I don’t need to watch this video, but I’m giving it a thumbs up because I appreciate the effort that you put into these videos. Y’all have been running one of the most professional KZbin channels for a very long time. I tell people that KZbin is the new PBS that provides true public broadcasting in a way that was never before possible. You and Chelsea have always been a great example of professionalism on this platform.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks so much, Lenzy!

[@amrita900]

This is the only video you need to watch on this topic. Totally on point, it has everything you need to know if you own one of these cameras, explained very clearly. Thank you !

[@Alensbove]

Thank you I also have an R5

[@SuperPd3]

I finally upgraded from my 5D MKIV and I should have known to come here before watching any other videos. Well done as always huge props!

[@longliveclassicmusic]

HECK YES! Just got my R5 last Sunday! Great timing! I also have two spare genuine OEM batteries coming that will be delivered tomorrow! 🙌🏻

[@AndyM...]

Fantastic effort Tony, I couldn't talk for 5 mins without losing my voice. Just about to get my R5, so bookmarked this clip to help optimise it. Thanks for the valuable info !!! 🤠😎

[@serrz8203]

I have purchase the R5 yesterday, although I had use a Canon 70D for almost 10 years, your video is very useful for me!!! Thanks a lot!!! Cheers!!

[@fwd1063]

Tony & Chelsea, this is extremely helpful info to fast-track setting up the R5. Thanks for your time and effort putting this together!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gordonelwell7084]

OK, so I just gotta say this is one terrific video! I realize there are lots more details (wireless, network connections, etc) but one man's voice only lasts so long! I just got my R5 yesterday, and discovered you had done this video and immediately logged in to watch. I bought two of your books too, since this video is worth that price alone so it's like getting the books for free! Also, I gotta say, you two know more about the Canon world than anyone else I know, and when you consider you know as much about the Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus worlds too, it blows me away!

[@rochealmatthews2309]

AMAZING!!! Thank you so much! When I started my business back in the day, I set up my 5D Mark IVs with your BBF suggestions. I just switched over to mirrorless, and before taking ONE photo went straight to your video for setup suggestions, and did almost all of what you suggested! EXCELLENT information with a great pace (not too fast, not too slow) and wonderful real-life scenario situations in which certain settings may be used. Thank you for marking key points in your video, too!! This was a great help when I needed to go back to review something. LOVE your content!!

[@aniciasalinas803]

lo

[@hollandtoyflicks4543]

Just upgraded my Canon EOS R to the R5 yesterday. This is very informative and helpful. Thank You.

[@octaviogarcia6921]

Definitely the best KZbin Channels for all the entusiastic and profesional photographers. We really valued the time and effort you guys put on this videos. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@pj2614]

Thank you. You made life sooooooo much better. I just upgraded from the mark IV to the R5 and was somewhat overwhelmed. You simplified the process by demonstrating very clearly the precise settings and applications of the camera's features. Thanks again. You saved me a huge amount of time.

[@martinehrich1966]

Thank you so very much. This is a fantastic tutorial. Love the practical advice on what works and what doesn't work as well. Appreciate all the work and professionalism put into all of the work that you and Chelsea create. Thanks again, Martin

[@PatrickGarrettPhotos]

Thanks for the comments about the batteries. A couple of things. First there are non-Canon batteries that work perfectly, I've tested several. Some work some don't. However the Powerextra brand sold on Amazon that are labeled LP-E6NH work perfectly (battery life new Canon vs new Powerextra in my experience is comparable). The USB charging and 10 frames mechanical shutter features both require the LP-E6NH COMPATIBLE batteries and as Tony said even Canon brand non- E6NH batteries have limitations. I also have tested many chargers and less than half work for USB charging. The chargers need to be "PD" compliant which usually means they accept the a USB C cable rather than a USB A cable. Finally, I've not experienced any issues with battery life. Camera settings make a BIG difference. Two settings that really shorten the battery life are WiFi on and Bluetooth on. These will shorten the battery life EVEN when the Camera is off. WiFi on can deplete the battery in as little as 8 hours EVEN with the camera off. Bluetooth drain is much less but noticeable. I shoot professionally and have no problem shooting over 1,000 images with the battery grip. BTW I used to run Quality Assurance for a software company so testing software/equipment is just in my blood. I hope this helps your followers... Good job with the tutorials.

[@Chris-ey7zy]

He can’t promote off brand batteries. What if it screws up the camera. And who is to say we believe you. For all we know, you work for battery manufacturer

[@alanm.6096]

Excellent review. I love how Tony provides so much additional (and practical) advice beyond the camera itself.

[@giog3734]

Best R5 Tutorial out there hands down .... Thanks Tony.

[@KashMoney2Fresh]

Thank you Northrup Team for another helpful video! Main 256GB and 128GB Backup (you saved me $$$ TY!!!) CFX-B RAW 128GB = 2723 photos / 256GB = 5447 photos UHS-II Large Jpeg 128GB = 9846 / 256GB = 19692 photos

[@iKeto_gal]

I was going to wait for CreativeLive to put out a video like this for the R5 and they haven't. So happy you did! Thank you xoxo

[@jimgrayem7024]

Canon

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Taking stills is not my strong suit and when I need them, I'm always scrambling to remember what to do. Very well put together video. I learned a few things about setting the camera up for stills. I know first hand how much work a video like this is, from one filmmaker to another, thanks for your effort. It is well received and appreciated.

[@nethead72]

USB C plug-in for mobile device connections on my PC front panel will charge my new R5. Once again, your videos amazing! You guys helped me from my 80D to my 6D to my 6D MKII and no for my shiny new R5!

[@tbgtom]

Thank you. I literally just got my R5 delivered yesterday so this will be handy viewing.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Congrats!

[@smaakjeks]

Finally, this video is relevant to me! The functions seem intuitive from the SLR setup, but there have been a few changes.

[@bradleyfoss8933]

Great presentation. I was feeling overwhelmed by my new R5. He made it simple.

[@beachmonkeycom]

the EL-1 is an amazing flash. I was skeptical at first, and I have owned just about every flash combination (canon and non-canon) and it is by far my favorite flash.

[@goldfinch2283]

Very good tutorial. Straight to the point without unnecessary bla, bla. Thanks 🙏!

[@mdturnerinoz]

Note too, that you can update your R5 (or many Canon cameras) using the EOS utility. Just make sure it's updated on your Mac or Windoze box. Forgot to say "thanks" as this was an EXCELLENT video and quite helpful to my R5 efforts (don't tell KZbin, but I downloaded it :0) )!

[@allthingsbrazil]

wow, with a hundred adds you must have been paid well for your hard work putting together this video. I cant decide between the R6II or the R5. Damn...if only the R6 had 45MP.

[@vickilove7971]

I just got my r5 camera today, and I found this very helpful. You now have a new subscriber. Thank you, Tony and Chelsea!

[@howaussie]

Brilliant. Just purchased EOS R5 Appreciate the content and Tony's presentation. Going purchase from their site, if they are half as good as this presentation expect it to be wonderful. Thank you !

[@tomkirwan3546]

What I can't figure out is how you only have one CFExpress card between you! Tony I got a tip for you. Buy a bunch of cards and leave one in your car one in your office and one in your Studio in case you need one for a video.

[@edruttledge342]

Yhank you. I've had the R5 since the New Year ... and been hoping you'd do a tutorial.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so so much for this Tony! Just got my R5 a few hours ago and this was the first video I watched to get set-up:)

[@ChristianLawrence]

Thanks Tony. Really like the way you setup the AF buttons. Works well.

[@mickemmett6828]

I know this is an old video but I'm only just getting around to going mirrorless and getting a new R5 mk1. I've been using a 5Dsr for a few years now and I have to say I found the 3rd party batteries I have easily outlast the genuine canon ones, thanks for the video, I'm sure some of what you've said here will come in useful once the new R5 arrives in a couple of days.

[@johnkeenan4184]

I purchased an R5 a month ago, thanks Tony for this vid.

[@DaleSavageAttorneyatLaw]

Love this video. I've come back to it many times to set up different aspects of my R5, thanks Tony.

[@adipawar]

I enjoyed listening to this lengthy but very useful instructive video. You are doing a fantastic job. Thank you.

[@AhmedHassan-zb6xn]

Thanks a million for sharing this valuable information. I am planning to buy an R5 camera and I was unsure as I am just a beginner. I subscribed, as learner I am sure I will defintely benefit from these tutorials. Much appreciated for being so generous with your time and knowledge. 🍁

[@ghostr1034]

Thank you so much for your time to explain all the things around the Canon EOS R5 which helps me in some ways a lot !

[@rvboondocker2559]

Wow Tony! Another terrific video! My check is in the mail for this one! Thank you

[@warddjohnson1964]

Love their material! I think I own almost all the book, which made me such a better photographer!

[@jonathanalvarez3663]

New R5 user here. Thanks, Tony ✌🏼

[@deborahdoering7071]

Tony you're the best!! Thank you for all you do!! I did purchase your book Stunning Digital Photography and I LOVE IT

[@ThreeCeeProductions]

PC sync works well with Paul C Buff Ringlight. A very powerful addition for Macro. Love what y’all do. Keep those videos coming.

[@steveparent8788]

Tony, I consider you as the best tutorial teacher on the net. I finally moved to mirrorless and this R5 tutorial is fantastic ! !! I have a question for you. Which shutter will allow less dust on the sensor ? Electronic, Mechanical ? Thanks for your help. By the way, I read your book (digital photography) every winter to be ready for my next shooting season. Keep on the great work !

[@mixfloors]

Great tutorial..... I still have so much to learn, but enjoy working through it. Thanks.

[@carolinecolon928]

Thank you Tony! So happy you covered this camera! Now I appreciate this jewel even more!

[@jordanruiz]

Thank you! I've been on the lookout for this video from you guys since I got my R5.

[@Twst704]

Thanks again Tony! I just got an R5 on 8/5 and this video made the learning curve a lot shorter! Bought some more stuff to help support the channel as well!

[@Argentarius11]

Fantastic video. Extremely helpful. I LOVE Paul Buff Digibee for Flash. Much cheaper, excellent and really durable. I just bought 2 Buff White Lightenings that are 10 years and super cheap. They work great.

[@vasilification]

Thank You, this is just what I needed, information and the depth of experience you both provide. A user manual is no match for real life experience.

[@Places4u]

Tony the best teacher ever

[@fibonnaxsolomon8824]

There's not nearly enough thumbs up for these tutorials. Outstanding work ! Thank a bunch, Chelsea & Tony. (and yes, of course I picked also up 2 of your books. you guys should really get Patreon, or "Get me a cup of coffee" or so, so that ppl who simple actual want to pay for your content can do so... )

[@technor007]

I just got my Canon R5 y'day... your tutorial is super helpful. Thank you Tony for taking the time to do this!

[@tommydaynjer5334]

Thank you SO much for this in depth video. I’ve had the R5 for about 4 months now and you’ve pointed out some super great things for me that I didn’t even know it could do! Especially in the video settings! You really go above and beyond with tutorials like these and it shows tremendously.

[@nwright28]

Thanks for the tips and info on Canon EOS R5. Thinking about upgrading my Canon camera. 😎🇺🇸

[@curtisbeckett4764]

Very professionally done. Thanks for all your instruction videos . .

[@naifine]

I always learn so much from your videos, thank you, and I have bought a book from you

[@marcellarey]

Thank you for this really great content. Everyone who has an R5 will appreciate you, including me :) Thanks!

[@Mike0193Azul]

Super helpful thanks so much 💚

[@jackbaratta5722]

I’m a long-time student and customer - yet you continue to exceed expectations!! THANKS!!

[@leogc5300]

Great video even for people who already have the R5 for a "long" time. Thank you very much!! Having said that please don't try to open the USB/HDMI port for the upper part... it's from below!!! hahaha

[@gerhardmoeller774]

Absolutely outstanding video. You answered so many questions that the supplied manual did not cover at all or very well. Thank you so much!

[@tenacious-d]

Tony, thanks to you and Chelsea for all the amazing content on KZbin. I was a long-time Nikon shooter and I converted to Canon R5 based on a lot of your content and comparison of mirrorless models. thanks so much. I bought a book on as a thank you since I know this is how you pay the bills. Thanks again

[@timelesscreations777]

Tony don't answer his subscribers

[@weltanschauunq]

This video is the only one I needed. Thank you so much. You are the best.😇

[@djack41]

This video is totally awesome! Super work, Tony!

[@kaisalgawi791]

Well done Tony. Excellent lecture / presentation. I own a Nikon Z 6 camera. After this video, I find it safe to shift to a more professional camera. Nice suit 👍

[@vicestes1393]

Tony, this is an excellent tutorial. I have seen several on the R5 but this one came closest to how I wanted mine set up and I just want to thank you for the effort and expertise that went into this video. Another great job!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Awesome, thank you!

[@alicenhardy]

Tell Chelsea I did get the Canon R5! The gal from Wyoming. Thank u 4 this Tutorial!! I'm having so much fun.

[@Schontaylor]

Great video and ideas! Could you maybe do a blog or video of what the checklist points actually mean in detail, would be good ! ❤

[@TheMaxX70]

Thank you so much Tony! I have learnt so much from watching your video. Much appreciated

[@monstrok]

Thanks for such a great tutorial! I appreciate the in depth analysis of each feature and its usefulness.

[@grimmsshenanigansproductions]

Thank you for your hard work on these videos.

[@kennethreeves5068]

I liked this tutorial. It touched on some very key aspects of the R5.

[@JaredKennedyCreations]

Amazing thorough tutorial. Love all your videos

[@lovemycity420]

So many videos about the R5, over a year later! You notice how you don’t hear about the 7sIII anymore 😂😂! Nobody talks about it anymore, no more videos, or comparisons to the R5😂😂! From Day 1, I said they weren’t comparable! 7sIII is a video unit! R5 is still the best hybrid camera ever! Love mine!!!

[@Chris-ey7zy]

And? People who bought the 7siii know what they are doing. They don’t need tutorials like Canon people

[@linnophoto]

Tony, when it comes to photography tutorial I have come to respect certain individuals in different aspects. For example when Anthony Morganti and Mark Denney explains things in lightroom I get it much more easier than anyone else. I easily follow Christopher frost and Dustin Abbott when it comes to lenses. I gravitated to Jason Lanier in his shooting style but I thought he talked about himself way more than he talked about the subject. I have not met anyone who explains the camera settings better than you do. I owned the Sony A7RIII for quite awhile and could not figure it out until your settings tutorial came out. Just recently I upgraded to A7RV thinking I will be okay but little did I know the menu was going to be different. I'm just hoping that a tutorial video from you is in the works or at least you are thinking of making one, PLEASE.

[@davec28]

Very in-depth guide that has been a huge help. Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this.

[@poldivina27]

Thanks! Just got my r5 this weekend!

[@aaron3089]

Really really helpful! This is my first professional camera and you guys always do these so well.

Thank you for this Tony! Amazing video!

[@lisabirdluvr9742]

Tony, you're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Don't know what I would have done without it! I just purchased this camera and I am so thrilled.This video was life saver for me. Thanks again!

[@flyairlie]

Thanks for amazing content, appreciated. I found this to be so helpful and informative. Love your work.

[@ChrisRenePlaylist]

Great tutorial. So easy to understand.

[@scotthaugenoutdoors]

Outstanding information! Great teacher...great details! Thank you!!

[@rincewind549]

Hi. thanks for the great content! By the way, when you format a memory card nothing gets deleted. Just you can't see them anymore. They can easily be recovered.

[@RC534]

Just watched this very nice guide as an R6 user as off-course it and the R5 have a lot of similarities. That 'trivial' default erase option that I otherwise wouldn't have discovered quickly is going to save me from so much fiddling with the selector wheel at the back :-D

[@robertwhitemoto]

great stuff Tony... I don't know where you find the time for all of this! But thank you.

[@KullieKennedydrbogo]

Thank you! I watched the entire video. Very enlightening! One question for you, if you don't mind. Why do you prefer FV for shooting stills?
