Thanks, Tony. I'm a full-time commercial photographer and I've been using the R6 for about 6 months now. I thought I knew the camera pretty well, but this taught me a thing or two. You guys are awesome.

You know, I gotta say, you always come through with the best videos that we all can understand and get the most from. I recently bought the Canon R6 and looked at several tutorials... which would leave a lot out, go too fast, and/or confuse me. But you really DO Rock. Why did I bother to look at anyone else's tutorial.

Tony, I've been following you for my whole photography carreer. Watched all the tutorials and also the one for my older camera 6D MII. Now i'm taking a leap to a new camera, R6 and i'm so excited that again you are the one that can teach me the little big things about this camera. THANK YOU for being here cause you've made me learn photography the fun and fast way!

I have learned a ton in the 1hr and realized how much I didn't know about this camera. One addition I learned while I was walking through your suggested settings - I turned on the display focus chart regardless of auto focus or not and wow mind blown, I push the auto focus button, then I can manually change it with the lens dial and there are red highlights that appear around the layer that I am manually focusing towards... I was doing this to focus on the outside through blinds and window and I could auto focus on the blinds, then manually focus to outside and it looks excellent.

Adding to this. The various AF modes have been driving me crazy. I'm coming from a 5D3, and it's been painful so far experimenting in the field. Lots of out of focus shots, and the camera is not locking onto the eye and tracking it.

I am so thankful for this video. My 60D broke yesterday. (yah I am a little behind the times). I ordered the R6. I found the pdf camera manual online and 😨😳 yikes! I have so much to learn. Your video is so much easier to understand and veryhelpful. I will likely have to watch it over and over to get it all down. I especially appreciate all the little settings and details. I would be one of those people thinking my camera was broken when I just pressed the lock button or something haha. Thanks so much. I haven't found anything so straight forward and detailed. Lots of info! I may have to slow down the playback speed. I thought I was in fast forward there for a while- I kept pausing and rewinding. Ahahaha. Keep up the great videos! Can't wait to buy your books and videos soon. Just discovered you guys a few weeks ago when searching for off camera flash tutorials.

I'm a newbie at photography and will mostly take photos for personal use. This video was very helpful to configure my new Canon R6. I set the back button focus, so that will be different for me since I'm used to using the AF feature on cameras.

I have been a Panasonic user since before the GH1. Owned video cameras before that and moved to each new GH camera up to the GH4. Months ago I bought a Canon M6 mk2 to have higher resolution stills and experiment with DPAF for 4K video. Loved the camera but it had its limits for video. Finally just bit the bullet and bought a R6. This is what we always wanted the GH successor to be. Such an amazing camera. Now I’m here learning more about this new sexy beast. Subscribed after years of just watching.

One (very!) minor point about navigating the menu system: After pressing "menu" the "Q" button quickly switches between each "bank" of menu options (red, purple, blue, more purple, yellow, orange, green). Once you're used to it, that can speed up menu navigation quite a bit. This is true on many Canon cameras, not just "R" series.

Looking forward to getting out this morning and putting some of these tips into action - I shoot wildlife so the eye tracking in particular is one I can't wait to try out, hopefully I can adapt to your suggestion of dual BB focus. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together! I'm relatively novice compared to many of the people here and you do a great job of putting a point across in a way that I can understand 👍

I appreciated that your tutorial indicates the tab and line number of each of the topics you discussed as well as your tip to put a sticky on the camera back noting how/where to find certain key info. This leads me to the following suggestion. With the expectation that I will be an R6 owner, I downloaded the massive advanced user manual this weekend. YIKES, It's nearly 900 pages! Since a tutorial is a wonderful tool for anyone new to the subject at hand, I think it would be helpful to everyone if your future tutorials would cite the page number or section of the user manual where the specific info you are discussing can be found, as well as the date of the manual version you are citing In perusing the downloaded pdf, I felt like an elementary grade child using a college level text book trying to solve a homework problem. Very sad.

Remote Live View shooting in the Camera Connect app works so well and lets you see composition, adjust settings and move the focus point 2. Electronic 1st. Curtain can introduce "half bokeh" when the shutter speed is very fast (

I think the greatest lesson for anyone considering any brand/model of camera, is to make time to watch these comprehensive reviews. Then you can truly decide if you wish to shell out the money. The one question that should always be answered: if I buy a particular camera, can I keep it for 5 years to get a 'return' on my investment ? Photography can be a VERY expensive hobby.

I was able to use the codes on both sides of the purchase plus get extra credit from KEH for trading towards the R6. I actually ended up with extra funds that they gave me more credit for putting the extra on a KEH gift card. I used that plus the code to purchase a RF 85Mm F2 Micro from them after watching used lenses for a few months on their site. Thanks guys.

I’m in Canada so we pay a premium also . I own a Fuji XT1, and find the menus daunting on the Canon R6 , and much harder to navigate.

The sensor cleaning function has also an undocumented side effect on Canon cameras. You can hear the shutter sound during it. The camera takes a photo and looks at hot pixels and masks them out - at least from jpeg-files. You should have the lens cap on for this.
