This is the User Guide for the Canon EOS R8. Think of this as your User's Manual for how to set up your R8. I show you how I would personally set up the camera, all while explaining what the settings are, and why I am setting them that way. Keep in mind, your camera is only as good as the glass you put on it. So be sure to check out the entire lineup of Canon RF lenses that work perfectly on the Canon EOS R8.

I also just got my R8 about a month ago and while it is a big learning curve for me since i have never owned a camera other than my phone camera, i know it will be worthwhile and fun to learn. I used to think my phone was enough for my needs but than thought i was ready for something more professional

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
