Just bought the R8 and went through many settings videos and found yours as the most organised and engaging with systematic guidance and walkthrough to setup and understand the complex process. Thank you very much and I have subscribed 😊

Great review albeit very fast :). Most helpful, thanks Bram. Beginner and had my R8 for @6 months. This has really helped with a number of settings; esp the customisation options. I'm not using the video (oh but hope to do some astro time-lapse) but curious as to what is a 'b-roll shoot' that you refer to when you set the C2 for video?

@coppensbram 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! I'm super glad this video helpful to you 😃 To answer your question: "b-roll" is basically all of the footage that is not the main shot. For example in these KZfaq videos, the main shot (or "a-roll") is when I'm talking into the camera. And all of the other shots, like when I show the camera screen or examples, that is called "b-roll". Hope this helps!

Excellent video. After you have set the M-Fn button to ISO, how do you turn the others to off ? I couldn't work out how to go to unspecified.

@coppensbram 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 Oh, you’ll need to select every option on the grid separately and assign it to “OFF”. I believe it’s the last option on the list. Note that you can scroll through different screens. Let me know if that works for you! 😊

Sir I like your content, I would like to ask for a suggestion from you. Which camera you can recommend for a photobooth business? Thanks in advance for your response. More power to your channel!

@coppensbram 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! For a photo booth, you mean you’ll be taking pictures of people at events in front of a backdrop? If so, I’d definitely consider full frame like the R8 or R6 mark II. These will work great in low light! And then try to get a fast lens for the dark environments, either one of the RF primes or an RF zoom lens if you want flexibility. I would probably opt for the RF24-70 f2.8 if you can stretch the budget. If not, maybe the RF 85mm f2 prime, or even the RF 50 f1.8. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions :-)

thank you for this video. I just recently bought a r8 with rf 35mm 1.8, my question is I hope you can teach me is that how can I take photo that all subjects are in focus?? I took a photo of my family yesterday and only one is on focus lol pls help

@coppensbram 3 ай бұрын

Hi there! Of course 😊 When you want to photograph a group, it’s all about the aperture. You’ll need to make sure it’s narrow, something like f8 or even f11. That will make the focus pane wider, and thus, have more in focus in your shot. Also make sure you set your shutter speed quite fast. For a 35mm, maybe something like 1/150 or 1/200. It’s usually best to use a tripod too! I usually shoot group pictures in burst too. Just to make sure there’s a good one in there with everyone having their eyes open 😃 Hope this helps 😎

@hanwoonlow9602 6 ай бұрын

Nice customise button and custom shooting mode C1/C2 setting. I noticed that I can't assign "Register/Recall Shooting Function" on any other buttons except L-Fn button. Unfortunately, my RF24-105 and RF70-200 do not equip with such button. You have any success in setting this function to any other buttons?

@coppensbram 6 ай бұрын

I’ll take a look at it and get back to you!

@coppensbram 5 ай бұрын

Ok so I checked it. You are right! It’s only possible on the L-Fn button… not sure why it is like that, on my R6 mark II I can assign it to literally any button on the camera. Maybe it’s Canon on purpose limiting features of the R8? Or maybe it’s a bug and will be fixed in firmware update 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello my friend, can you tell me if there is no zebra in the menu on the R8, I have the latest firmware version, I don't understand how I need to turn it on, can you tell me? Please

@coppensbram 28 күн бұрын

Hi there! First, you need to turn on the zebras in the menu (red menu, tab 7). Note this will only work in video mode. I explain it in the video around 22:10. Hope this helps! 😎

@coppensbram 3 ай бұрын

Yes indeed - It's listed on Canon's website. However, I don't see it anywhere in the menus, only IPB is available. I don't believe the R8 has got All-i. Even the R6 mii doesn't have it :-) Hope this helps!

@@coppensbram i was actually thinking to buy this camera, mainly because the fullframe 4:2:2 10bit All-i and the low price for getting it, so thanks a lot for checking that out

@coppensbram 3 ай бұрын

No prob! I'd say: do you really need the all-i? The IPB coming out of the R8/R6 mii is really stellar quality 😎

@rsz237 3 ай бұрын

well i think it depends on what kind of project its used for, i mean workflow requirements like color grading for example, or taken into consideration platform/purpose
