This is the best channel for content pertaining to the M50 and using it to its fullest capacity to create professional looking KZfaq videos. My son and I watch at least 3 of your videos daily and apply all of your techniques to our videos and we went from cringeworthy, amateurish videos to something I feel is on par with seasoned content creators in a week. Wasn’t cheap, but wasn’t exorbitant. Thanks SO much!

Great tip on the audio set up. Thanks for showing your studio set up.

Solid information and helpful. You have taught me so much. Thank you

That was dope! And useful. Thanks

Thank you! Helped me a lot

Your explanations are straight to the point and useful . I entrust your channel to learn more about my canon m50 mii❤

I really enjoyed this. As a person who is generaly self taught at everything I seriously appreciate the direct and simple instructions. I am a serious camera nerd and I found your video to be a real "ok stop overthinking this just do what the gear needs and make content". Seriously, thank you. The light bulb K section worked for me 😆

This video is amaziing, the last thing about the camera charger is game changing, I've never heard of it until now instantly buying it

Very well said and extremely important information! Thanks so much! Saving this for future reference!!

Thank you, such a great help! You’ve simplified some things ‘ve been struggling with from watching others. Can’t wait to make some adjustments and try some new recordings.

Great video and thank you for the tips to get the most out of my M50 II which i bought over a 2 years ago and have done nothing with but not I have time and really want to get the most out of it so this is very helpful. Thank you and for sharing

Underrated video. Many thanks for this behind the scenes.

This video was very helpful. Thank you!!

Great content as always Mark!

The best and the most informative video i watch since long long time , thanks for sharing 🙏

Nice to see people making good content on the M50. Underrated camera for sure

Thanks for sharing Mark. Very valuable information for us newbies!

This is by far the best tutorial video I ever seen on KZfaq. +1 sub +1 bell

Thank you so much for all of your videos on the Canon M50 Mark II. They have been invaluable to me. I am a total amateur who started a KZfaq Channel a few months ago. I have never used a camera before. I am not much good with my MacBook Pro either, which I had donated by my wife, who is a software engineer. I was shocked to learn that the M50 is the ‘cheap’ camera. I started out with a webcam and then ‘upgraded’ to a 4K auto-focus camera from China called a Koshika (a firm which seems to have disappeared now). That camera cost me £140. The M50 was £624, plus I got on the 11- 22mm lens (again from watching your channel) to accommodate my small room where I film. That was another £369. It was money well spent, I think. However, at first I was totally overwhelmed by the controls, settings, etc. and yours are the only videos which I have been able to follow with any success. I now think I have my camera set up to film my next episode of Not the Chair Circle (my channel). It will be Ep. 3 of series 2, so I think it was high time that I got properly sorted out. Thank you again. Best regards, Bob McGowan.

solid video, Mark, keep it up!

I am liking before watching 😄 because it’s you doing a good job with explanation.

love you man.... thumbs up

Amen bro again that is why I'm keeping my M50's because the color profiles are great for what I do.

Thanks for the video

great video Mark, got my Canon m50 II, going for greatness!

Great video! Thanks Mark!

Mark, thank you so much for speaking about color grading with the M50! I’ve been concerned it’s just one more thing I need to understand and master as I explore launching a channel. My worry was I know I have some colorblindness and wondered how I’d take a flat image and correct it in a way that looks best to the average person. Plus it’s just one more step to add complications to an already busy process. Again thanks! - Mark

Great info always!

I have the m6 mk ii so great video!

I have a youtube channel where i have been using my phone to record videos, but i just purchased many things of what you use, because my room is about the same size as yours i used most of the same things..i got everythin you shown thank you so much..thanks so much for ur videos, now its my time to take over and get these subscribers thanks so mucb

Thank you for this information..!

Best video ever

Thank you!!!!

*Wiemels, your the best!*

This one looks better you are looking directly at the camera!

Great video Mark, do you shoot in 4K?

Thank you 😊

I was wondering why in some scenes your looking off to the left (your right) and now I know why. I thought you might be reading a script or cue, but after seeing the behind shot with the camera LCD panel swung out to monitor, it was clear. Came for M50 fish eye lenses, stayed for all the great content.

Now I always wondered how the microphone was connected to the camera when it’s far from each other . Now I know better.

About the microphone, I was thinking is it not better a wireless mic you put on the t-shirt? Do you have any suggestions about that? Thank you in advance

Thanks for this video. Question: How do you prevent light glare/reflection on your glasses?

Do you have any audio recommendations for yoga videos?

Please, does anyone know what lens exactly did he use for this video ? Thanks 🙏

This guy literally carrying m50 owners. good job

8:21 I wish this was told 5 years ago in the KZfaq scene it seems that all that mattered back then was lenes and cameras it sucks because half my videos are wack.

Hey Mark! Question about your back light, the little one that sits behind you mounted by a small tripod lighting up the wall behind you. I'm brand new to this stuff. I'm reading that you need a front light and a back light. But the other stuff I read mentioned pointing your back light at you. How come you don't point your back light at you? How come you point it at the back wall?

Fantastic help. Fantastic content. Thank you so much. Quick question. I have watched several of your videos on the M50 and have not seen a teleprompter. Any tips on that down the road would be much appreciated. Sub'd.

Hi, I need some help here doesn't turn on used 3 times it's like new.

For that last one you could simply eliminate the battery issues with buying a dummy battery that hooks up to dc and plugs into the wall.

What's your video exporting settings, please? Do you shoot in full HD and upscale it in 4K, or you export it in full HD with high bitrate? Would you please tell me your video exporting settings?

Mark, please tell me...how do your shots go back and forth? Is that remote control? Is it in the editing? I have a channel, and I want to do this. Thank you. -Phil

I’ll be investing in some new audio

Mark, The batteries are a great idea, is there also a way to get rid of the 29 minute record limit ? Thank you for this video !

What is the name of your condition. I have the same symptoms. Working with a neurologist now. I have crazy symptoms.

This trick implement on canon m50 not mark ii also ????

Thank you for using the terms "low priced" & "budget" instead of "cheap". For once, I did not feel insulted. 🙏😂

For the type of videos that you do (talking head) is it ok to use 4k on the canon m50 mark ii? Also' does youtube add an extra crop when uploading a video? Thanks for all you do, it definitely helps!

What about filming more than 30 minutes with the Canon M50-MII, what do you need to?

I’ve been meaning to get a dummy battery, I just haven’t been able to decide on one. Other than the Canon made one I always see nightmare reviews from frying out the camera to a loud buzz on the internal audio.

Have you done any videos on how to shoot good videos for KZfaq with just your smartphone?

I'm assuming Bokeh is coming from the lense, the kit lens still doesn't seem crisp to me .. at 3.5 i have no blurring and im far away in the shot :/

why would I use PAL over NTSC if I live in North America?

Quick question do you do KZfaq full time? Just curious. Well wishes sir.

See, this is where things get confusing. There are a lot of KZfaqrs out there offering advice, but only a select few seem to have a good grasp of what it takes to make this work AND can convey it in an easy to understand way. But there’s a problem… For example, you said to use PAL and 25fps. In fact, you emphasized by saying “just do it”. But those other few cream-of-the-crop KZfaqrs used different settings. 30fps, 60fps, PAL, NTSC, etc. And guess what? I can’t tell the difference in quality between any of you guys… multiple different setups, same looking footage from an eye-test perspective. It’s frustrating.

Is this video shot in HD or 4k?

You use laptop for video editing ?

Why would you want to do this if you have an iPhone 13 Pro or greater? The video is superior.

Hi, do you record in 4K?

I literally cannot figure out why my video looks like garbage. I have 2 lights and it still sucks.

You leave too short a gap between cuts. It causes what feels like a sudden jump and it ruins the flow. I find it unbearable to watch (just my honest opinion, however, your content is great and you've got a good voice).

You're in a small room dude. Your audio should be very easy to figure out.

Great. Just a bit of advice for you, too: Watch this video and pay attention to the way you speak. You use the same exact cadence/melody for almost every single sentence. This is not unique, many people do this without noticing. The problem is, it's repetitive and gets quickly bothersome to many listeners. Pay attention to this and try to avoid it in the future. Speak in your video the same way you would speak to people face to face in real life. I guarantee you would not speak to someone in person the way you speak in this video.
