Wow. Great tip on trashcan reset of FV settings!

Hey Matthew, thank you for explaining the Custom FV-Mode. I'm shooting two years now with my R5 and never left the manual mode, but your method is showing me a lot of new options.

Fabulous amount of details! Thanks for all the information!

Thank you. I didn’t mind the length. I learned so much about my R6 ❤❤

Fantastic. I just learned about Fv. I really like your setup and have set my R5 C3 to Fv with most of your settings. Can't wait to try it. Thanks so much.

The back button focusing set up you have described here is more flexible yet does exactly the same thing if you set single spot of rt eh focus point and switch off eye tracking in the main AF menu . That then also allows you to AF then re-compose when using the AF on button. You then only track the eye when you are using the star button.

Great video and I share your enthusiasm for Fv mode! I've also added one custom button (the DOF button that I never used) to set up to trigger a "high shutter speed" setting. I've lost too many bird-in-flight shots because my shutter speed was too low. I can simply reach the DOF button with my pinky and get the shot off!

Hi! I recently found the FV mode and have played with it. Its excellent. However, this video is superb as it takes using FV and the Camera's menu settings to a whole new level, I thought I was quite good with my R6 settings but these have really been improved now. Many thanks indeed.

Very informative video! Possibly buying an R5. This was great to watch.

Brilliant video thanks. I love Fv mode but one of my frustrations with it is when I set shutter speed to auto and then want to set it manually,, it starts at 30s. When you mentioned about setting the shutter speed range of the camera, I realized I never caught that before. Doh! Thanks 😀

Super video. Thank you so much....and it was not to long at all...jus interesting all the way. 😊

I love the idea of FV mode... but not the implementation. If they had allowed keeping dedicated dials for each function, that were the same dials that are used in manual mode, that would have been perfect. E.g., back dial is always aperture, top dial,always shutter, speed, top rear dial always ISO. That would let us use muscle memory to change any settings without looking, rather than the current combination of dials. And a tap on the delete button to reset.

Cheers, very useful information.

very informative video! The in-camera crop instead of the teleconverter would put fewer pixels on the subject at the same distance. The teleconverter puts the 1.4x image onto the entire 45 or 33 megapixel sensor of the R5 or R7, cropping in camera gives a similar sized view but with a much reduced pixel sized image of 17mp on the R5.

That was great, thank you. That video should be on the Canon website! I assigned shutter speed to control ring as I found it too difficult to set this otherwise. It is a weird setup initially, but with some hands on experience it should result in more keepers.

Very Nice. There is a lot of power and flexibility in the Canon R5 if you know how to program it. With custom buttons you can have multiple scenarios set at the same time.

Another cracking video. Super informative. Thanks for posting!

Thankyou so much very well explained video.J

Wow. Thank you

I like this mode because it gives me full control of the camera when I want it, and allows me to cede control back anytime I want, in whole or part. Typically when I’m out shooting on a hike or something. With my 1DX mII I will have my back button focus set, to (REGISTER RECALL SHOOTING FUNCTION) shooting in Shutter Priority (TV) mode because the most important thing is the movement control of subjects. But there are definitely times when I want to control the Aperture(depth of field), and exposure compensation. With Fv mode, it’s quick and easy to change without touching the top mode dial. Flexible Priority (Fv) also works with exposure compensation too. As long as at least one of shutter speed, aperture, or ISO is in automatic mode, I can adjust the exposure compensation. I bind my control ring on the R to exposure compensation so this is fast and easy to adjust, but I can also do it using the back and top dials. Note that exposure compensation is disabled if you have taken control of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, since by definition you have control of exposure compensation through these values. In Manual mode you can still control the exposure compensation. Control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO In Fv mode it is also possible to set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO all manually, just as if you were shooting in manual mode. To judge if the exposure is correct you need to look at the image (RGB histogram)either through the viewfinder or on the rear LCD screen, rather than looking at the exposure scale. The exposure compensation scale (which would normally transform into an exposure scale in manual mode) cannot be used to set exposure compensation. However, by simply looking at the images (RGB histogram), it is easy to adjust the exposure according to how you want it. Remember, when shooting manually, if you simply follow the exposure scale until it indicates correct exposure (denoted by the white marker in the central position), then you could achieve exactly the same result using either Av or Tv mode.

Very informative but the background music was very distracting and irritating. A tutorial such as this doesn’t really require music.

Excellent video. Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks for this. I have spent the last week drowning in the 1073 page manual for my new R6-II, so every suggestion helps. However, I still have a working FTb, which provided controls only to change the aperture, shutter speed and manual focus, so I am not entirely sure that the extra 1072 pages of instructions represent progress...

Canon already had a very similar function called Program Shift on the 35 years old EOS620 where you could instantly adjust the couple aperture/speed using the dial only. Av/Tv/Auto modes were made pretty much useless.

Is this good for video? I.e vs manual video mode?

Fabulous video. Thank you. I'm in the process of mastering all the features of my R5. Daunting task. This video is very clear. One question. I understood that the "My Menu" and the "Quick Menu" are separate. The quick menu pops up with the "Q" button. No? Can you edit the Quick Menu "Q" directly? Does the Q menu that appears on back of screen when shooting vary depending on the mode or custom shooting mode you are using at the time?

Hello I am trying to go to Mode settings, but you skipped how to get to it. This is odd because after you talk about the mode setting but didn't show how you got to it. You show the other settings and how you got there how to get to them?? For example camera menu AF tab 3 ??

Are all these settings go with the R6 I’ve just come from Sony A7iii and this is all new to me

I was using FVmode and like it. But for some reason, now it does not change to the other modes. It just says locked, how do I get it out of that mode?

Thanks for a very informative video. I use the Canon R7. Just one question - can i have both C1 and C2 on FV mode. One for birds in flight and another for stationary birds/animals. Or can you think of a better way to program the camera. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mine is grayed out . I need to find out why

h,mm.. I dont have AF method in my menu ..
