My m50 just arrived recently and as my first proper sort of camera this has helped a bunch on learning to take of it properly, thankyou very much!

Thanks for this amazing tips. Really helpful.

I just discovered this channel yesterday. Great material! Thank you for putting all of this information out there.

(just broke my canon m50 screen today lol) tip from the accident - is to get a sturdy tripod especially for outside usage and be sure to make sure the legs are as far out as possible. I tried to bring them in to make the height a bit more vertical which led to wind pushing it over hitting the ground and breaking the screen. So make sure your tripod legs are wide especially when you aren’t manning the camera in the moment. Also the screen protector is going on the next one i get lmao seems like a no brainer not sure why i never thought of it. Thank you for sharing your tips and stories!

My brand new M50 is on its way and i already had some of this stuff on order but you added some great information I didn't know, the tripod info is key. One of the things i ordered was the silicone cover, think ill send it back. thanks.

Nice one! Every advise is really worthy thank you so much 🙏🏽

Thank you so much man! New m50 user here, and I was definitely putting my camera on the tripod way too tight, this is a lifesaver!

outstanding video!! Thank you for all these fantastic ideas for protection!

Thank you for this very helpful video.

Thank you so much for this video, I didn't even know these accessories exist!

Great.... this is the first video I've watched that deals with things you should be aware off... Most talk about specs and how to use it.... not how "not to Break it"..... Nice one....

Hi Mark. I am brand new to photography. Found your videos very helpful. I just bought the m50 mark ii kit that also has the ef-m 55-200mm lens. I watched your video recommending a hood and lens filter for the basic kit lens. Which lens filter do you recommend for the 55-200mm? Thanks

💪🏾💪🏾 Thanks brother, you're very awesome, great tips!!!

Thanks Mark, I've had my Canon m50 Mark II for about a year and had only purchased a cage shortly after purchasse of the camera. Per your sound advice, I ordered several items you lisdted in the description.

Mark, I've enjoyed viewing your videos as I'm a recent purchaser of the M50 Mark ii. An avid hiker using a full size DSLR I've finally decided I want a much lighter camera to carry around on the trails. I've appreciated your video on the best 10 and how to not damage and have purchased several of your recommendations. With that being said, I've just discovered that the premium NV filter you recommended does not allow the recommended lens hood to fit (filter will not fit over filter so it can be screwed on). You might want to mention that to your viewers.

9:26 that voicecrack lol. thanks for letting us know about the tripod mount! investing in a smallrig cage ASAP 🙌

A minor correction on your battery topic the battery will not leak as they are lithium ion. However a much more serious thing may happen they could light on fire or even explode so if the battery swells put that thing in a tub of sand and find a local place that will properly dispose of it

Thanks for this. Some good ideas here. A couple of things to note: 1. Quite a few of the reviewers of the tempered glass (Pack of 3) Compatible Canon Eos M50 Screen Protector you recommend say that the M50s screen will not close fully because the Screen Protector is too big. 2. Old Pro Tip for protecting lenses and the M50s sensor from dust, rain and so on when changing lenses - change the lenses in a knapsack, or camera back (if it is big enough), or in a big enough plastic bag. Best to squat down to do this, so that you can put the lens and camera on the ground (or flat top of your camera bag) when they are in the plastic bag.

Hello Mark, thank you for your m50 video series. I live in San Francisco and know all too well the m50's lack of weatherproofing vis-a-vis our famous fog--I damaged my last m50 body due to moisture. One advantage I like about the m50 is the lower liability vs higher-end camera equipment. Not that I'm careless, but I'm more apt to take my m50 with me not only for its diminutive size, but because it don't need to worry about it. I hope Canon doesn't drop the m platform now that the company is making APS-C R-cameras. Thank you!

Good stuff there, thanks, Have you chosen a cage for the m6 m2 yet ???

Just bought my screen protector from Amazon . Great tips ! I just bought my M 50 the other day and am exploring it’s features and settings. Your channel is helping me a lot. Didn’t watch everything yet but will at my own pace . Thanks a lot !

Literally just bought a screen protector lol Thanks Mark

Great video, Mark! I have a question for you... If I took a M42 to Canon EF adapter and attached that to a VILTROX EF-EOS M2 Speed Booster, would that damage my M50 or fry my speed booster?

Great video as always for us M50 Newbies..... I have to know.. where were you hiking??? It looked amazing!

Great video Mark, just a quick question, I bought the screen protector but when I tuck in the screen it seems to wobble a bit on one end and not close fully... did you experience that as well? Lastly what are your honest thoughts about the EF-M mount seeing that Canon isn't pushing any new lenses out and is instead focused on the RF lineup?

great easy to watch and pleasant to listen to Video!!.. I know its older now, But I just bought my Canon M50 used on Craigslist, Its great..I lost my previous in a wildfire ( as well as everything else ) Just starting a KZfaq channel, but liked all your advice and if you know of any place other than Ebay or Craigslist for used equipment let me know.. Thank you

Hi have you tried the Canon efs 17-55 f2.8 on the M50 if you have what’s the autofocus like is it loud like the Sigma thanks

please do a video on light trails or macro photography with focus stacking with the m50.

I am still getting used to using this camera...thanks very much for the video! New sub!

Hi, I need some help with this camera It know what's the problem it's not working doesn't turn on.

great video!when i use the flip screen for vlogging, i get afraid that it might hit something the opoosite way and it'll just break off.. oofff

great tips will be looking after my M50 what a great cam so far :)

Changing efm or efm size lenses is the only time i use the neck strap, i have quick relese on the strap so its easy to put on (usually use a wrist strap) with the camera around my neck i hold the in-coming lens in my left hand and press the lens release with the same hand, remove the lens with the right hand and the new lens is put straight on, minimum sensor exposure time. with the bigger ef lenses i usually have the hood up in the open position so the lens can sit face down on it, then i put the camera onto the lens facing down. when you use a plastic or silicone waterproof bag to cover the M50 from rain can you end up with condensation inside the camera?

I bought the screen protector you recommended for the mark2 in an other video and it ended up not fitting. The Display couldnt be fully closed anymore and I ended up returning it. Was that not an issue for you?

My silicon cover was for 4 years straight on my old Canon 1200d. I sold the Canon 1200D. The buyer was surprised how new the body looked. I have also for the canon m50 a silicon cover. But you are absolutely right to check under cover once in awhile for dirt...

So grateful for this video‼️ My son recently got this camera and I want him to enjoy but I also need him to protect his investment. Thanks for all the information. 💯

3:51 Hey I've been on this hike, its in Waterton Alberta and it called the Crypt lake trail

do you have a video for best camera bag where I can fit my other lense?

One question regarding the screen protector. Should I go with a glass one, but from what I've read, I can no longer close the screen (flip it back with the screen inside), as it's too thick, or go with a plastic one, which offers less protection, but I can still flip back the screen? Thanks!

Thank u so much

This is a fantastic video. I just bought it and I wanted to be very careful with it.

Totally unrelated question but where was that hike? Looks stunning

Mark been thinking all morning about fungus LOL Do you think you could put your gear in a sealed container with those dry packs like they use in seaweed packages to keep them crispy? Dehumidifier? ???

Can you tell me if upgrading to the m50 would be worth it if I own a m100? They have the same sensor so I feel like I would be getting the same images I do now. So I guess the question is are the features worth it?

You have to do a vid on how to install screen protector or how to replace a screw up install : )

I dropped the camera while doing street work. Thank goodness I had the lens hood attached! Though when depressing the snap button the image makes weird movement when fully depressed.

All your Amazon product links redirect to Amazon India. That is to say, are there any Amazon USA or Amazon UK links for those?

I like my neck strap, sometimes I can use it as a third point of contact when I'm having issues holding the camera steady. I learned the trick from guns, some guns don't have a stock so you can use tension in the shoulder strap to help hold it steady, just basically do the same thing with the camera. Put both hands on the camera however you're going to hold it, then hold it out so it pulls at the neck strap to help keep it steady.

I have the smallrig cage for my canon m50 and I love it.

Hi, I got premium filter and Lens Hood… but while filter On… I can’t fit Lens hood… And once I put my Lens Hood… I can’t reach inside for fitting filter Any idea or tip ? Or I have to send Hood back to Amazon!!!!

I don`t say using a screen protector is a bad tip, but one thing I always do is use the viewfinder as I take photos. Videos I take almost always inside doing interviews mounted on a tripod, so not many risks there. using the viewfinder demands also more creativity making photos.

I just unboxed my Canon M50 Mark ii and noticed it makes a clicking/rattling noise when tilting back and forwards. Is this normal? I found a few posts of others reporting this but no definite answer on whether this is something to worry about or not!! Thank you 🙏

Another little keep moisture away/prevent fungus trick: Those silica packets you get with shoes, new products etc, save them an throw a couple in your camera bag to keep your bag where you keep your lenses dry.

Which mic are you using in this video ?

Is it worth investing in the M50 knowing it will be discontinued very soon? Canon will release in 2022 new APS-C using RF Lenses.

What camera you are filming at? Definitely not at M50. We somehow cant figure out how to remove foggy effect from M50 in 1080p videos. Even with good photo light. Any ideas? We have kit lens, clean, no fungus. If you wish you can check last video in Kriksis channel.

Am I suppose to get the 46mm lens uv filter for the 45mm lens?

ive been making music for a while so i have a lot of equipment. i take great care of my shit but the thing is the equipment for music that i use doesnt ever really leave the studio so i didnt think that i needed to see this vid since my track record for busting up equipment is flawless for 3 decades. but of course me being that type of person and i just got this 600 dollar canon....i had to see what was up. so glad i did. so many vulnerable parts of the camera that i didnt know how such affordable ways to protect. i expected advice on handling not that AND great products. oh and SUBBED!!!

good tips im using old dslr canons they are getting old and dirty and im not getting them clean as i want or need to for the life of of them

hmm im not sure if i should buy the m50 or the sony a6000 for action videography (Mountain Biking)

I was recently doing a short film, where one of the actors accidentally kicked my camera's lens. Could have been disaster, if not for the LENS FILTER. Thank you for great tips!

do you recommend a remote?

A couple of months ago, I set my M50 outside, recording video. I'd put it in the path a rabbit often takes around my house, hoping to catch some close-up footage. Well, I got involved in other things and forgot about it. All night. Through TWO thunderstorms. And I had not put any kind of protection on it. The next day I remembered and ran outside in a panic to retrieve it. I dried it off, careful to keep it level so as to not let any water that might have gotten in move to places inside that were still dry, removed the battery and SD card, and stowed it away in our attic where it gets quite hot. About 48 hours later, I started it up. Amazingly, it worked fine. And I've had no problems develop so far. I feel SUPER lucky! The next purchase I made was a weather protection bag, just in case I decide to get uncareful with it again.

About the batteries. Your link goes to 1100mAH batteries while Canon's and most 3rd party ones are in the 800 to 875mAH range. I would think that these high capacity batteries might be more prone to have some problem than the normal ones.

Hi Mark! When I watch your videos I use automatic subtitle translation, because I don't understand English very well. Unfortunately, in this video the only language of the automatic subtitles is Dutch for some reason. This is what KZfaq seems to think and now it tries to translate from English as if it were Dutch. It has become very difficult to understand anything. Please check the subtitle settings of this video to turn the subtitles into English. I will be very grateful to you.

when I turn on my m50 and unlock, the unlock prompt does not go away and I cannot take a picture. I'm not aware of any damage occurring...any ideas?

Is exposing the sensor of the camera in direct sunlight bad?

Very helpful tips. Thanks

I have one. It just never caught on. But my best museum shooter

I have lens hoods for all of my lenses that I use. I need to get one for my nifty fifty though.

Can I use a canon charger for 3rd party baterries?

Several new items were just added to my Wish List. Camera ownership is death by 1000 cuts.

Which one good canon m50 or canon 250d?

God, I just freakin dumped half a Nalgene bottle of water in my cooler with the M50 on the bottom! I drowned the damn thing! The bottles cap wasn't completely closed! But it was only under for a couple of minutes! Is it possible to dry it out such as an Apple iphone in a bag of rice? Any help will be appreciated, I currently have it in a bowl of rice! Maybe it will turn on some day..

I like this chanel

I have had no safety issues with third party batteries but they do run out faster. I have ran had at lest four third party batteries lose their capacity whereas none of the original despite there being as many originals. Still the lat years so that is not a major issue. Canon batteries last ages, I still have the one I got 2014 with my EOS M. One reason I bought M50 was that it used the same battery. I only use third party batteries as an emergency. Once I am back I charge both and then put the original back in the camera. It is good to carry lens cleaning wipes with you if you need to clean the lenses. You can also clean your glasses with them. I grab the other lens before I take the old off. Once I take the old one with my left hand I immediately put the new one in with my right one. I have got dust less than once in a year despite changing. I have changed lenses 2700 times and gotten dust 4-5 times.

I don't have an M50 but I thought it was sound advice for anyone with anyone with an interchangeable lense camera

I got a screen protector on your recommendation.

Well I recently got m50 mark II. Will certainly use your advice. That being said I am really careful with my electronics. Never broken anything. So far. I may have jinxed it now 😱

How can I properly clean my Canon M50 censor without damaging it?

Here is the easier way and cheaper way for the screen protector! Go to phone repair or phone accessories store , buy a ipad film protector, the film one the standard one , bring it home and cut to size of the m50 screen then apply it ! I ve been doing this for all of my camera screen or even psp screen and it works 100%

how is this vid not in your m50 playlist?

Mark, do you mind making a video showing how you covered your camera with a clear plastic bag to use when you're out in rainy weather? I really like that idea of covering the entire camera with a plastic bag but would like to see how you wrap your M50 Mark II. Thanks a lot. 👍🏽🤠 7/11/22

👏👏👏

I think the 3rd party battery link is broken (at least for me 😅)

I use a dummy battery that hooks up to a power pack.

13:54 RIP southerners

my m50just gave up today and I barely used it....

LOL 0:20 A screen protector will not protect against this type of damage, I think.

Mate, it is off topic but a pink ghost is trying to get into your studio. 😲

if there's a hissing and cracking noise, you better throw that thing out of the window, its not fun to have a lithium polymer battery bursting into flames. trust me, i have some experience 👀

I keep my lens covered with my Viltrox speed booster.

, I don’t break my camera,phone or any electronics because theyre expensive.

I dropped my camera and the screen does not work anymore

** removes silicone cover from Amazon basket 👀 **

Ja gut übertreib halt

should rename this video to Idiot Proofing Yourself Using Your Canon M50

I droppet mine the same day i got it and it was run over by a snowcat, whoops
