@philiprolenick4475 Жыл бұрын

Hi Jared, Just finished watching this whole video. Since I've been using an R7 since early August, I have a few notes on it. I don't know why you didn't mention the Depth Of Field Preview button inside the Manual/Auto Focus Switch, but this is a valuable hold-over from film SLRs that I've been using until today, when I discovered, while following along with your video, that the viewfinder can be set to not only simulate exposure but also always show the depth of field. That should be the default. Unlike you, I like to use Touch and Drag for the focus point location - using the right-hand side of the screen set to "relative" (not absolute) position - I find that using my thumb on the screen while looking through the viewfinder gives me much finer control than using the joystick, while also avoiding the risk of accidentally changing the dial around the joystick. I use the AF On button to do servo spot focus and the * button to do Eye tracking - if I used a half-press of the shutter button to focus I couldn't easily choose between the two modes. . Like you, I live in Manual mode for exposure. However, I don't do a lot of manual focusing so I've set the Control Ring on the lens to simulate the aperture ring on a film camera's lens. In the menu I set that ring to Control, not Focus (and definitely not Off). If I need to manually focus with a lens that doesn't have a separate focusing ring, I can always use the Manual/Auto Focus switch to set the control ring to do manual focus. Continuing my nostalgia for the film SLR I used for nearly 40 years, I set the shutter speed on the top deck of the camera with the Main Dial, and for the third leg of the exposure triangle I set the ISO with the dial around the joystick. (Ok, I couldn't set ISO on my film camera at all except by changing the film, so that's a plus for digital.) Living in Manual mode and shooting RAW, I keep the histogram in my viewfinder on so I can expose to the right ("ETTR"). (More informative than a simple single pointer.) Since the histogram display is based on the JPEG picture style, I use a low contrast picture style to make it behave more like the RAW file I'm actually shooting Why isn't ETTR a standard auto exposure option? I might actually *use* Auto exposure if it were.

Perfect EXACTLY what I needed, was setting up my new R7. Canon user manual was only a few pages unlike my previous Canon that was thick as a phone book. While addressing each setting seemed tedious at first it was needed, found myself stopping video to explore the new options. I've been following The Fro for a number of years found him it be informative and entertaining at the same time. Thanks..game time now have to go Eagles vs 49ers.

Thank you Jared. Yes it is a long video but one of the best ones out there to take me through the entire menu! I learned so much on my new R7 from this video before I even started to use it. It did help me take better photos of wildlife and portrait photos so far. I also saved this video so I can access the table of contents to help me out when I get stumped on settings or where to find it by your great color code idea of Red, Magenta Blue and so on. This was perfect for beginners like me!!

Thank you for the great tutorial Jared. I bought my R7 in early August (upgraded from a 2008 Canon 7D). I hadn’t cracked the manual yet and knew I was missing out on things, but was I ever. This past weekend I shot my daughter’s last horse barrel racing event and was shooting RAW and M and getting way better results than the previous event I shot a month ago. I’ll be buying the FroPack 1-3 Bundle tonight since that tutorial was worth more than $90 to me. FYI: I had some issues trying to buy via my iPad/iPhone the other day via PayPal. I had no problem logging into the PayPal app from those devices, so it seemed to be an issue from your system to theirs - would hang in the step of may second factor authentication. With Canon’s pretty nice RF lens sale I’m switching over to just RF lenses and for budget (F4 vs F2.8) I went with the L glass of 15-35, 24-105, 70-200, plus the 50mm 1.8 and the 100-400mm that were also heavily discounted.

Interesting, what is wild to me is honestly this is probably a terrible camera for someone's first camera if new to photography, not because it's bad but because it's not designed for them. It's clearly designed for semi-pro to pro use. I'm super excited about it and these are great to know things as someone moving up to this camera but I'm shocked when people recommend this or the R5 or R6 as people's first camera. I'll give canon credit for knowing how overwhelming this is though and giving simplified options for people. It would be awesome to see this whole guide again more from a pro standpoint. Also, I'm as a wildlife and landscape photographer, back button focus sure saves me a lot of time from accidentally touching the focus when I don't want to but to each their own. Appreciate this none the less.

The reverse display works only when you turn the screen forward. When it is on the display screen is shown mirrored which helps composing. The image or video is still stored normally. With strobe lights one should turn the exposure simulation off or the viewfinder will be dark.

Hello Jared, I just purchased this camera yesterday, I have experience with canon cameras, however your in depth video helped in many things like I didn’t know that there is a wheel around the joystick for extra control which is used to control the aperture. I got with it an R to EF adapter while using the canon ef 24-105 f4L IS1, the one that comes with the 5D mark 3. Ay 43:45 in your video, you explain about the focus guide. I cannot see the focus meter on the screen like you do when demonstrating it. It’s possible that I cannot see it because I’m using an adapter & ef lens instead of an RF or RF-S like you are using in this video? Thanks

Hey, Jared! Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise. This total newbie greatly appreciates you! Quick question. Somewhere along the way in this tutorial, you show how to format the SD card. Is there any difference between formatting via the camera or via a stand-alone computer like a desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.? On the desktop, there are more options (which, of course, adds to this newbie's confusion). Does the camera already know which of these options is best, therefore, formatting on the camera is the best way to format the card? Or, does it lack these options, thus, formatting on a computer is superior? I'm referring to options like File System, Allocation Unit Size, Quick Format, etc. Thanks!
