Jared is the best out here, quick, straight to the point, detailed instructions. I watch no one else because I don't want my precious time wasted. Thanks Jared!

That's a lotta work Jared. Patience and energy...wow! Awesome! I just got my R8 and I cannot be more thankful for this video.

As you´ve recently talked about it in the podcast, i wanted to let you know that i really appreciate you putting in the time and effort to produce these super detailed userguides, very helpfull for beginners getting their first camera and even intermediate or pros when it comes to complex menus. Keep up the great work.

I must have watched a zillion videos on KZfaq, and I never left a comment. But this one deserves a big 'thank you'! So, thank you for taking the time to make this video that has saved me a ton of time and increased my knowledge on this camera immensely. On my first day of owning the R8, you have walked me through all the settings and now I'm good to go, to learn and to enjoy!. So, again, thanks! Appreciated!

Just bought a R8 today and I just remembered again how much I love you Jared. Sekai no Besuto!

Thank you very much for this video. I have the R8 since about a month, and I am very happy with it. I'm not new to photography, but the R8 has so many more options and features than my 7D and M50-II, so I learned a lot today. And it is much more fun to go through all the settings with you than with the book. 😃 Greetings from Switzerland

Thanks, Jared! I don’t own an R8. I probably won’t ever buy an R8 because I own a Sony a7R-V and don’t really have any need for an R8. But nevertheless, I watched this entire video and found it quite entertaining. As a professional, I want to constantly stay up to date about the features of each camera brand as well as where to find specific settings so I can help other people using other camera systems.

Thank you for not being a bore. Your video is informative but is not a challenge to watch. Keep up the good work.

I watched your video when i was setting up my EOS R10 and i just picked up EOS R8 and i am watched your video again. Thank you so very much, i hope youtube pays you well for your exceptional content

Started watching this the other day after it was posted,, went through it again just to try and recall the info.. Thank you very much for putting this video out.. I bought the R8 and am starting at level 1 as my first/last camera was the Rebel xt. I'm loving this thing, and love it even more after this video and getting the run down of what the things actually do!

I bought the R8 about 3 weeks ago and i love it. It’s my first ever camera and i am using it for fashion photography. From day 1 i started shooting manual since i felt that would give me the best feeling for whatever does what. And it has worked out perfectly for me. Just wrapped up my first fashion project a few days ago and im happy with how it turned out.

The best video for R8 on KZfaq

I’m buying this camera this week.

I’ve been waiting for this user’s guide. Thanks Jared!!

Wow, thank you for taking the time to do this! It's been a huge timesaver for me. I purchased this camera a few weeks ago to make KZfaq content and it's my first camera since I purchased a Sony Cybershot almost 20 years ago. Learned so much!

Got my R8 yesterday. Your D5500 guide helped me in 2018. Now this.. Thank you Jared...

Long video and intense but also very helpful and definitely better than of read all the guide. Also every voice of the menu is explained and clarify the usage so we can decide how to setup. Thank you!

This is amazing, it was really really useful. My R8 just arrived today so I watched the whole thing. I'm glad you keep creating this amazing content. Thank you!!!

Super helpful, thanks for putting the time into making this video! Reading the manual is one thing but hearing the pros/cons of a setting from a pro is more helpful to me. Now I finally have the AF settings configured perfectly for what I need.

I just picked this up and I've been waiting for this video from you! Thanks!

I’ve got the R8 and your tutorial is very helpful! Thank you!

Jared you are the best! Thank you for taking the time and making this informative and fun.

Canon should be paying Jared for this - not because he needs sponsors, but because he's doing the job they couldn't be bothered to do properly.

Perfect video for new users of the Canon R8. Thank you!

Excellent (as usual), Jared! I’ll be getting my new R8 TOMORROW from B&H. This video will help me immensely with initial set-up, just like your video for the RP set-up did that I recently traded-in via B&H.

Received mine today can’t wait for the weekend to take it out

You are so amazing! 🎉 On the third play through I was able to follow you while pretty much asleep during parts. Great lucid learning teacher! 😂

Thank you for making these kinds of user guides ❤

Wonderful review James! the most insightful and detailed review video comparison of the R6 Mark II and R8!

The other use case for allowing the camera to take photos with no lens attached is when using manual lenses. I do Astrophotography and manual lenses are a way of life for me. Because the lens has no electronics the camera thinks there is no lens attached.

“Too legit to quit” I genuinely audibly laughed. Great video! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the help!

Thank you for this video by the way. Recently go the R8 and this helped me ALOT.

I've been waiting for this!

this one was much needed as i had just purchased r8 yesterday and i gosh.. setting are all over my me.not able to figure out stuff.... that's so helpful ❤

Thank you! Love my R8 purchase and this video is exactly what I needed.

this is awesome! I just got this and need to get up to speed fast for an upcoming trip to Africa this fall. thanks for making this so easy to understand!

Great video. Ive used your guides for both cameras I've purchased.

been waiting for this one baby!!!!!

Absolutely amazing video! I am very grateful for this Jared. Cheer.

Thank you so much I learned more about this camera being a newbie than I could imagine

Oh Gods! This is the most helpful R8 video I've found on the internet! English is not my native language, but this video helped me to find out information and improve my English level) Thank you very much!

Hey man I saw you at the B&H expo in NYC. Loved hearing your story and inspiring me to purchase the R*. Keep grinding man. Would love to catch up when you are back in NYC!

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 📸👍

Hi Jared. I just got my Canon EOS R8 and absolutely love it! I’m switching from the Canon EOS T7i so it’s taking me a little getting used to, but all in all I am very happy making this switch. It seems like everyone is going from DSLR to mirrorless. I love that I can still use my EF lenses and can also use the same battery from my T7i.

thank you so much i watched the entire thing it was super helpful i am looking forward to giving it a try taking photos

Thanks for doing these. Didn't need a lot of it since I traded in an RP for an R8, but it's fun to watch alongside a new purchase.

finally Jared today i buy the r8 and 50mm 1.8 i hope have more money soon to buy all your Preset THANKS FOR ALL you made me try again this hobby.

Thank you so much for this detail video ❤

Literally got mine today and jumped to this video inmediatly

Thanks for this. Learned a lot

Thank you so much for such an in-depth and comprehensive overview! My R8 arrives today and while this will be my fourth Canon camera, my other three are at least 10 years old (and consumer-level) and this R8 has recent technologies that are new to me.

Thanks so much for all the info!! You have helped me a lot!! Appreciate you!

Thank you - that was extremely helpful.

Cheers for the informative vid mate.. subscribed 👌

ive been in a toss up between the r6 mark 2 and the r8 for my real estate photos and decided on the r8 thank you for this video cant wait to get my camera in about a week I upgraded from the rp

Great informative video going through everything. Good effort !! My R8 joins my R5 as a lighter weight option which actually, after a brief play, is more appealing !! IBIS lacking is a pain but that's about it.

I found this guide so helpful.

Thanks for this detailed video!

Best R8 video 🔥🔥🔥

thank you so much for that amount of info. Greatest!

Hi Mate, This is a huge help for a beginner like me, just bought the R8 with 50mm 1.8 today. Hope i am on the right track.

i bought the r2 mk 6... im from the future.. the r2 is an amazing camera and the mk 6 is FANTASTIC... lately it seems like the canon models are just kind of all over the place and dont really make any sense but just wait until you all see the r2 mk 6... its a doozey...

Very helpful! Thank you

I just ordered one

Great video Jared and team! This is my first "real" camera and your in depth guide was so helpful. The only input I can add that will help other's is that if you accidentally hit the "OK" button to format the sd card, it does not warn you before erasing your card!! Jared mentions that there is a warning, there isn't in firmware 1.0.0. Is there a setting?

Just picked the R8 up as a second body to my Canon R6MII. Really appreciate your taking the time to do these User’s Guides …. So much better than the user manual. Thank you for this!

Great content!!!

Thank you for making so easy.

Good to see The Fro still going strong. Been away from the hobby for 5 years. I think I’m going to trade in my 5Dmk4 for an R8. Debating if I want to adapt for my holy trinity L series or just trade everything in and dive into the RF lenses… that’s the main debate.

Thank you so much for this detailed video. Because you have a very clear pronunciation, I was able to understand it very well, even though English is not my native language."

thank you so much for the video

I chose the R8. I had to sell my eos r and the 24-105 L for a weird cash flow reason. I did not like the eos r. When I came back to the market, I bought the r8 with the 24-105L Great start. I also sold the 15-35 L 2.8 and an ef 100 to 400 f4. 2. Replaced with the 14-35 f4 L much lighter and with modern cameras,who needs to haul around a massive 2.8 chunk of lens? I also replaced the ef 100-400 with an adapter for the rf 100-500L. Not really used this yet. So impressed with the forward journey of Canon since I bought my eos r. Autofocus on the R8 is astonishing.

Well done Sir!

Just upgraded from a DSLR to the R8 and the sheer amount of menu options is insane 😂😂

“I know what middle finger is”… hilarious!!

From setting up my first camera Nikon D5500 with Jared to here ❤

Fro knows the R8 ✊!!

Lesssgoooo i got the r8🎉

Thanks a ton!!

Dang we got an R8 guide before the R6 II guide! 😔

from spain, incredible🎉🎉

Hello Jared thanks for the information about the EOS R8, which is the best lens, I have the 24 - 105mm and 70-200mm thanks again

This dude is hilarious. Crank up that sensitivity

Thank you Sir

Hi @Jared, for you, what is better for professional photography, the Canon R8 or the Sony AIII?

Thanks for reminding us the NES Contra 30 man cheat code! 😂

Thanks very helpful, I just bought a canon r8, and I'm interested in time Lapse is there a video that tells me a bit more about it. xxxxxx stars on the guide

I love you buddy. thanks for showing me the canon R8. Im all about budget full frame cameras and the canon RP is great but this has the guts of the r6 mark ii with RP body. for me that's a win! overheating is an issue a little bit. but so far I have managed with a full hour of on and off shooting

+Jared Polin I think the "release shutter without lens, on" allows for using non-Canon lenses in manual focus. I don't have one to try but that is what I had to do with my OM-1 before I switched to Canon.

In regards to SD card memory, how much memory is ideal? Is it better to have multiple 64gb cards or a few 128gb or higher?

So nice 👍

When you switch from photo to video, do your setting remain for each? What I'm looking for is separate settings for photo and video, so that if you need two different settings, you can dial in one for video and one for photo and switch back/forth? Hope that makes sense?

dang, i just watched the entire video as if i have own this camera but soon i will buy this canon r8 camera :)

I picked up a sandisk 512mb v30. I am just starting out with this camera. Is that going to be sufficient for just A+ mode, and taking single still shots?

Hi, I bought a R8 with 50/1.8 it looks nice. Is it possible to set a better battery indicator in percentage?

Brilliant

Interesting and good video as usual. However, I was a bit surprised by your reaction regarding 'none' when it comes to subject detection. At least I use it when I want to track an object that is not included in the other three settings - and to prevent the autofocus from jumping to, for example, a person or a dog. With that setting, I decide what should be tracked and not the camera. If I then quickly want to follow a face, I have eye AF set to a button.

It is reverse. A lower Kelvin with White-balance is a warmer color and the higher Kelvin is (for a humans) a "colder" blueish light. Take young hot stars for example. Very high temperature, very blue light. The opposite is a colder red dwarf or a red giant which have a more reddish light. We humans perceive these lights as opposite of the actual temperature. Maybe it is a instinctual thing where we associate a reddish color with warmth of a fire.

The 1.6x crop is for when you must use an asp-c lens so you zoom to not see the black halo?

Many thanks for this cool instructional video. I'd say you know photo!
