I’m from 10 years in the future, this is an impressive quality video for being so long ago. Thanks for consistently putting out helpful and useful tutorials all these years!

The most concise, accurate, and understandable Canon 5d Mk3 video instruction on KZfaq. Thanks!

Many thanks for this tutorial. As a pro photographer feeling the need to get into shooting video as well, and owning both the Canon 5D Mark II and III, this video was exactly what I needed to get started.

Thanks. Not only are you a pro, we can see you sincerely want to help people with these cameras -- concise and informative. ...Rowby

Probably the most concise video explaining settings ever! Thank you SO MUCH! Really this was great!

I just bought a Mark iii yesterday and your video was unbelievable helpful. Your presentation was so clear, step by step. I can't wait to see what else you are doing. Thank you so much, I didn't know half of that stuff about video. I will contact you with questions when I start using my camera.

Wow - fantastic overview. I'm starting to use both my 5D II and III for video - and you clued me into some great tips. Thanks a 1,000,000!

Thank you, Saj. I'm taking a video of a concert next Thursday and your video really helps. I keep learning more about my 5D Mark iii. I checked out a sound video as well. Don't have all the lenses for movement but will use a tripod. Keep up the great videos.

Watching this in 2021 and recording with my 5dii, hands down still best video around. Many thanks, regards from Spain!

Brilliant thanks! Just picked up my 5d Mk2 after 6 years of inactivity and realised I'd forgotten everything!!

Thank you so much! This information is so helpful! I've had my camera for a year and a half and am just barely trying to figure the video out and this is the best video I have found so far.

That was the most useful video I have found to date. Thank You so much for taking the time to put this up. I just purchased the 5D Mark iii and need to get up and running fast. This helped a lot.

If only the mark III had the feature the 70D has which is automatic focus, it's amazing and focuses well with low f stops. It even has touch screen where you can simply touch what you want it to focus on and it's really good with keeping track of what you're focusing on😊

Very helpful information. Step by step how to with the cameras I use.

Really great tutorial on the basics of shooting video on these cameras. Thanks for posting

Awesome, man. I bought a mark iii two months ago and this video is really helping me

I am about to shoot a corporate video with my 5D Mark III and this video is exactly what I was looking for, thanks, very useful!

Great introduction to start shooting video with a Canon Video!!!!.... Thanks Buddy!!!

Excellent video. Very succinct and covers the points needed to get you started. Thank you.

Awesome video!! I have not used my MkII in many years so this video was a perfect refresher course. Thank you 😀

Excellent! Thank you very much! I shoot 4K (mostly) but I am back to an old 5D Mark 2 for 1080 videos. Your tutorial was excellent.

I found this so helpful, informative and clearly narrated-thank you!

Thanks Kristy. I'll be posting more videos about the topic shortly

I was searching one review about the two cameras, the MARK II and the MARK III, This video, far away, is the better, 4 real!` Thanks a lot!, you are a great Master!

Thank you so much for your perfect intro to video. This video should come with the camera, seriously.

Thanks for sharing this very informative video! I have owned a Mark2 since '09 and have been loving it since, although I was only focusing on photography back then. Now however, I'm in film school and seeing these video's where you explain the video functions and functionalities is just amazingly informative for me. So thank you and keep it up!

Thank you. I like to be pretty close to the subject. About 5 feet usually. The closer you are, the harder it is to focus if they move but it looks great. Also it depends on the shot size you are going for. With the 24-105 you have a lot of range.

clear, concise and about as helpful as you can get - thankyou.

I agree with everyone here; very nice and informative video. I just got my hands on a 5D ii and am so looking forward to experiment with the video capabilities. Thanks again.

The main reason for the upgrade would be the great audio options and the fixes to the video issues mark ii has. I would stick to mark ii if audio recording is not an issue for you.

A good place to start. Am learning to use my Mark III for video. This lesson was helpful. Thanks.

thank you. If you are interested in other topics, let me know. I'm making more videos. About to upload one about using the 5d for audio shortly.

Yea it is a huge difference if you have the IS on or off on the lens. Shooting with Prime lenses like the 50mm that has no IS creates a noticeable shake when handheld but I don't have that problem with the 24-105 IS.

Fantastic video ! This video gave me in a nutshell evreything i needed to know to get strated with practical tips. Thank you for the video and those great tips.

so simple and yet very informative, I hope you make more tutorial vid in the future. this was 8 years ago and I find it straightforward and without too much highfaluting words to sound professorial, like the other videos here in this platform, thanks I learn a lot... 2020.05.28 Thu., N.Y.

Hey Jonathan. 24 is 24 frames per second. and 30 is 30 frames per second. It's basically a different look and feel. 30 is more television and 24 is more cinematic and film like. I mostly shoot 24 frames so I almost always choose that. And it creates smaller files since less frames per second. All theatrical films are shot at 24.

It's important to use IS based lenses such as 24-105 F4 canon lens. Also premiere cs6 and cc have great stabilizing filters. A combination of the two create great hand held shots. If you can use tripod or monopod, that's always best.

I really enjoyed your video. I've had a mark iii for since 2014 and I still feel like I'm not using it to its full potential.

Yes the motion blur comes into play in lower shutter. So when shooting at 30 frames at 30th shutter, you will notice a different look but it's acceptable to me in most cases. 60th shutter at 30 frames is the rule of thumb. I've just always gone along with it. That rule I learned in film 101 and seems to still be what do follow. But yes it does change the exposure so that's what I pay attention to the most.

i enjoyed this video, particularly as I use all the lenses you mentioned, have just upgraded from Mkii to the MKii never done Video previously but wondering about trying it out, and have found your video extremely helpful, thanks a lot

A fairly comprehensive beginner's tutorial. One question that I need to ask... If you are on manual and have to select your shutter and aperture and ISO, don't you have to meter the scene? And if that is the case, wouldn't you then have to select your preferred aperture and then select the ISO to match your shutter/aperture settings? And what if you wanted to use auto-exposure? What adjustments/settings would be required? Everything else was pretty clear and straight forward. Thanks.

i want this camera sooo bad. You guys are so lucky to have ittttt.. I mean i could buy one but i cant justify the purchase.

I shot video on the 5d Mk2 ffoer the first time the other night, it was in a nightclub and bar with pretty challenging lighting condition, I found it really hard to keep focus. What I found really frustrating was with the screen being so small, there are no guides to help you keep focus such as on the Black magic where there is a setting so you know that things are in focus. Just wondering if anyone can make any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. I realise that it's a great camera but maybe more where you can control your subjects and shooting conditions. Thanks a million.

Thank you so much. A no-nonsense video like this is so much easier to follow and learn from than the gimmicky bullshit that are so many of the other videos.

Very clear explanations, thank you.

Also if you can get into more specifics of depth of field on the Mark III, going into more detail on Exposure settings (Shutter / ISO and F Stop). I have the 24 - 105 kit lens. What I would like to see are how the the specific settings are made in the Mark iii Menu. .

stunning guide...

Hey thanks for that. I didn't catch it. I just fixed the link to the website. Let me know what other topics you may be interested in as far as using DSLR for video. I'm in the process of making more videos.

wonderful tutorial

Very nice tutorial. Thanks! You know your subject well and it shows.

we situated in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, but currently we finding new location to set up the studio, after that we will set a event workshop teach by a mentor every month once, there will be new or juniors to learn further about photography, and i hope this will be a good idea, ^^

That was very precise and worth watching. If you could suggest some good ND filters for low f-stop settings.

Great video very informative and clear.

Are you SURE there is no auto focus for video on the 5D III?? I have been shooting video with AF on the 5D III. You press the rear AF ON button, or shutter button halfway down. Focus mode is selected on 4th menu screen under AF mode.

If audio is a concern, then Mark iii for sure. I would still recommend recording audio to a separate recorder. These cameras are really not designed for best quality professional audio recording.

Awesome video. Great job.

An honest and informative presentation!!! Good Man. Laszlo Montreal.

Hey thanks for these great tips. If you are stuck with a Canon 24-70 2.8 which doesnt have IS. How would you recommend getting smooth shots for event video?

Thank you very much for these crystal clear and previous advices !

EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much! :)

Nice video. Thanks. The professionalism shows.

Ok kool video but tell me something how to make sure my subject is always in focus? my problem is while shooting with the Mk 3 and 24-105 or 70-200 my focus is off and when i think my subject is in focus their not thanks.

It's more than clear Big big up to you .... How close in meter or in feet some should approach a subject while filming with a 50 mm or a 24 105 i mean t he closest you can approach the subject . Thank you

Hi, thanks for your tutorial. I would just like to point out, that the 5d mark iii does have the auto focus function while shooting video. Thanks.

EXCELLENT! Just what I needed to know....thank you!

When i use led flashlight while recording, bright lines appear to my screen, they might go away, if i start recording again, while light is pointed other way.. why??

great video

Great video, thanks.

Fantastic. Thank you

Fantastic video. Really helpful and through. Thanks for posting. :)

Very informative. I can't find the video on audio settings and would appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. Thanks for sharing. David at The Resilience Development Company.

You help so much - is there a way you could teach how to pull focus using the focus ring? I just bought one but have no idea how to use it. Thanks so much!
