Right before we jump into this video if you
want to get my free "11 Days to Better Photography
Mini Video Course" head on over to fronknowsphoto.com/11days
to get started right now.
Jared Polin fronknowsphoto.com and this is
a "User's Guide" for "How To Set up Your Canon
EOS M5."
Now, this may be a long video because I'm
going to go through a lot of different settings
as well as all the different buttons for this
camera, now keep in mind if you take one nugget
of information from this then the video has
done its job, but something tells me it's
going to help you set up the camera because
this is going to be much easier to follow
than if you were reading the manual, but try
to go through the manual once, and then refer
back to this video when you need help.
So, let's start with the first things first,
where does the battery go in this camera?
Right here on the bottom, so you just press
here and slide your finger this way, the door
pops open.
This is where your battery goes, there's only
one way for it to go in, just pop it in like
this, click it like that.
You also notice that there is a SD card slot
right here, so I've got a card right here,
my Lexar 128 GB SD.
It pops in down here at the bottom, boom,
to shut it press the door in like that after
flipping it down and you're good to go.
So, now I want to show you how to put the
lens on because that may be confusing the
first time you do it.
Right now I have the lens on so I'm going
to take it off, but you see this white dot
right here and you see the white dot right
here on the camera?
Well, you go ahead align those two up.
Turn it away from you, in this case, the way
I'm holding it, I turned it away from me and
it locks in.
Now, to release that to change lenses you
just press the release button right here and
then turn it the opposite way you just did
and it comes off.
Now, I want to remind you, you don't ever
want to touch the sensor right here which
is inside your camera, if you messed that
up you'll probably need a new camera, so just
be careful when you're changing lenses, white
dot to white dot, and boom, right there.
So, how do we turn the camera on?
On and off switch right here on, boom, we
just turned it on.
Coming around to the top of the camera we
have your shutter button, that's the round
thing in between this thing right here, the
shutter button is what you press halfway down
to focus your images and then press it fully
down to take a photo.
Right here you have a dial function button
you could kind of set that to a couple of
different things, so check the menu for doing
that.
You have another custom dial that we personally
right here, turn this one into using the ISO.
I'll show you how to set that in the menu
later.
This is for exposure compensation, if you're
going to be shooting manual you may use this
personally, I never touch exposure compensation
and I never had.
Right here you have a button that says MFN
multifunction, you can change that to a couple
of different things, I'll show you that in
the menu as well.
Then you have a dial right here for changing
your shutter speed, if that's what you would
like it to do, that's what we had it set to
do.
Right here you have a lightning bolt, if you
press that, the flash pops up, pop it back
down to lock it in, press it again, pops the
flash up, you’re good to go right there.
Let’s come around to the top of this dial
right here, this is your mode dial this is
where you set it if you're in auto, you'll
see full green and then you can go around
the rest of the wheel and you'll see P, TV
is shutter priority, AV is aperture priority,
manual is for full manual, you make the changes
and set all of your settings.
C1 is a custom one, C2 is custom two, now
you can set that to what you would like, it’s
nice to have a function in the camera.
Movie mode, this weird looking dial right
here, this one with those three circles that
are intertwining, that's HDR mode, it probably
should have said HDR on the top of that.
For those of you who don't know what that
is if you go into that mode and you press
the shutter button it's going to take three
pictures and then merge them together giving
you a high dynamic range image.
Moving around, you've got scene mode, so things
like portrait or food or panning, there's
different options, you'll see those in the
menu when we go through that.
You've got your creative assist mode that's
where it's going to help you be more creative
if you need help being more creative.
Then you have a full auto secondary auto one
which is a hybrid auto and then full auto
which we're still set to right now.
This right here is your hot shoe, this is
where you would put a flash, an external flash
or you could put a microphone if you have
an external microphone that you want to use
on this camera.
Now, right here is what's called the electronic
viewfinder, do you see how this is lit up?
This is your LCD screen that is a touchscreen,
but watch as my finger blocks the proximity
sensor, it now switches from this screen up
to the EVF just like that.
So, if you put your eye up to it, it’s going
to go ahead and turn off the LCD and allow
you to see what's in the electronic viewfinder,
that's what EVF stands for.
The LCD screen can come out like this, you
can flip it down like this, see that?
It allows you to do that for selfie mode,
but keep in mind if you put it on a tripod
you won't be able to use the screen like this
because it would be blocked by the tripod
head.
So, I'm going to flip this back around right
here or actually before I do that why don't
I show you this, if you wear glasses this
is the diopter or if you want to take your
glasses off and you want to dial in something
that helps you see the electronic viewfinder
easier, go ahead and use the diopter right
there.
Closing these up then we have these buttons
right over here starting with the info button,
the record for video, we've got this one which
helps you select your focusing points and
the star one which I personally don't ever
really touch.
Moving around the mode dial if you turn this
one we have it set to change your aperture,
you can see that you have your ISO or your
flash settings or manual focus or the trashcan
as well as the queue and set, when you hit
the queue button it brings up a quick menu
on the back of your screen.
You've got the Play button as well as your
Menu button right down here.
Now, moving to the side of the camera you
have if you want to connect it wirelessly
through NFC or Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you go
ahead and hit that button right there.
Right here you have the HDMI port in case
you want to go to ATV to show back your images
or you want to go to an external recorder.
Now, looking at the bottom of the camera,
you already saw where you put your battery
in, but this is your tripod mount if you want
to mount it on a tripod or a stabilizer or
anything like that, this is where you would
go ahead and do that.
Now, turning to this side of the camera you've
got a remote plug, you have where the USB
goes and you also have a microphone input.
One thing you don't have on this in case you're
looking for it is a headphone jack to hear
back your audio, so that's one thing it doesn't
have but you see that it does have microphone
input which is great.
So, there's only a couple more buttons around
the front, you have this button that you can
preset down here, that's your depth of field
preview, something that's still left over
from the old film days, you can map this to
a couple of different things if you would
like.
And there's another sensor right here on the
front of the camera for using your remote
and that's pretty much the outside of the
camera.
So, those are your buttons, like I say just
get familiar with them, play with them, see
what works out and I'm going to come back
and go through how I would set this up in
the menu settings if I was using it to go
shoot.
Right before we jump into the menu setting
I want to let you know that I took this camera
out for a full "Real World Review" that you
can check out right now, click on the I button
in the top right-hand corner, you can go check
out that video after you're done watching
this.
Now, I also want to let you know that you
will see this thing sitting right here, this
is called an Atomos, this allows me to use
the HDMI so that I can show you what's on
the back of the screen in the menu system.
So that you can see it as I go through it,
but I also want to let you know that because
of that I no longer have touchscreen functionality,
so I'll just be using the dials.
Remember that anything that you see on your
camera you can probably touch the screen to
make the change.
So, right now on the back of the screen, you
can see that it says, "To fully use the camera
push and hold the switch in the diamond direction
then rotate to unlock."
That's right here, if you have the kit lens
that came with this camera or some of the
other lenses have to be unlocked before you
can start shooting, in this case, you press
the diamond that way, you unlock it, I now
have access to shoot with the camera.
So, let's go into the menu, I want to show
you what's in the menu system, do you see
this?
I am set to auto right now.
I want you to know that if you stay in the
auto modes you do not have full access to
the entire menu system of this camera, so
I'm going to switch out of that into manual
mode and we’ll go and hit menu again on
the back and you are going to go ahead and
see that more things have turned on.
So, why don't I walk you through this one
step at a time, you can see there's a lot
of different menus here but this is really
a good thing to watch and take some information
from so that you can see how I set up the
camera and maybe that will work for you, but
again play with your camera, try it out because
that's the best way you're going to learn
what works for you.
Image quality, first things first, I have
it set to RAW plus something.
Now, let me explain RAW real quick.
RAW is an uncompressed format where JPEG is
compressed, a lot of people are perfectly
fine just shooting JPEGs.
A JPEG file is basically done once you shoot
it whereas a RAW file needs to be processed
in a computer after the fact meaning if you
take a 100 pictures you have to process all
hundred of those.
My recommendation for most people if they
don't know what to do is shoot RAW plus JPEG
fine which is the JPEG large right here, I
say that because at some point if you want
to go back and edit the RAW files, well you'll
still have them on file if you shot them,
if you don't you can't get those RAW files
back again, but look if you're somebody who
just wants to take snapshots leave it in JPEG
all day and go to town.
How do you switch those?
You could touch them on the screen or just
use the jog dial right here and all of that
information shows you how many pictures you
would get on the particular card that you're
using.
I'm going to hit set OK in the middle and
we’re good to go.
Still image aspect ratio 3:2 I want to leave
it in 3:2 because that's how photos generally
have been shot and I want to leave it in that
because that's how photos will probably continue
to be.
Moving through we've got shooting information
display, let's go in and see what this is,
we've got Screen info/toggle settings, I click
through you can see that you can set your
screen settings for what you would like it
to be, go play with that as well.
You have VF info/toggle settings, so that's
for your viewfinder, it's just going to show
you different things up on the screen in your
viewfinder, so this is – whatever works
for you is what you should be using.
Moving through, VF vertical display on, I
go ahead and leave that on.
Grid display, if you would like a grid to
always show up, you can leave a 3x3 grid or
I'm guessing 6x4, you have 3x3+ diagonal.
Look at that, that means you've won Tic Tac
Toe, good for you, 3x3 is probably where you
want to leave it.
Histogram, I have set to brightness.
Moving on through Exposure simulation, I leave
this on Enabled, what this means is that when
you're looking through your viewfinder or
on the back of your screen the Exposure as
you make changes will be representative of
the proper Exposure, so if it's underexposed
meaning it's too dark you're going to see
that or if it's overexposed to bright you're
going to see that, it's good to enable this
so that's why I do that and reverse display
I have on as well.
Moving over to number two, we've got display
mode, you have Smooth plus Power Savings,
I leave it on Smooth, the reason is basically
what you see is what you're getting as it's
happening, if you put into Power Saving it
may be a little herky-jerky or stuttering
and you may miss some of the shots that you
were trying to get.
So, back into the menu VF display format,
this is your viewfinder display, I have it
to display one so it fills up the entire viewfinder
when I'm there.
Image review, I have off meaning when I take
a picture the image doesn't show up in the
viewfinder if I'm looking through it or on
the back of the screen.
I don't want that to pop up after I take a
picture because you don't want to take a picture,
check a picture, take a picture, check a picture
because you'll start missing the shots you
should be getting, so don't get into that.
Touch Shutter is something that I leave off,
I don't want to go ahead and touch the screen
and have it take a picture, most people should
probably leave that off.
Next we have Touch & drag AF settings, there
is something fantastic about this camera that
when you put your eye up to the viewfinder
you can change your focus points by sliding
your finger across the LCD screen and your
focus points are going to move.
I love this option and you can turn that on
right here where it says, "Active touch area."
You can change it to be the right, to the
left, to the top right, the bottom right and
then the top left, I leave it fully on the
right.
Now, if you're going to be somebody who wants
it on the left, you're going to be holding
the camera like this, and it may not be as
stable but because these lenses are so much
smaller it's probably easy to do that.
Let me explain this real quick, here is how
you should hold a camera if you have a lens
on it like this, tuck your elbows in, bring
your face up to the viewfinder and that's
going to be much more stable for shooting.
But if you feel more comfortable putting your
finger back here then, by all means, do that
just know the recommended way that I suggested
is to put your hand underneath, tuck the elbows
and go like this, it's going to be much more
stable.
Now, you may see this Position method Relative
versus Absolute, Relative means that if you
move your finger around and the focus points
change and then you move your finger off the
screen when you put your finger back on it's
going to be in the same place as it was when
you left it.
So, moving on we've got Quick setting menu
layout, this is for that queue button right
here, you would hit that, these are different
things and you can turn on and off that will
show up when you hit the queue button.
Let me show you what happens when you hit
the queue button.
You see this?
It pops up all of these different options
because now you can quickly get to them, you
can touch the screen or you could move up
and down to select different ones, it's actually
easier to touch the screen.
So, back into the menu, let's get into number
three, AF operation, we've got ONE SHOT versus
SERVO, ONE SHOT means if you hold the shutter
button halfway down – I can actually show
you, it's going to stay locked in focus as
I move around.
Now, if I take my finger off you see the green
box went away, I now have to go ahead and
press it again to focus and then I could shoot
the picture and it would go ahead and take
it.
So, back into the menu setting, instead of
ONE SHOT we've got SERVO, this means that
the focus is always on as long as my finger
is pressed halfway down.
Don't worry about that beep for whatever reason
they have it probably it will let you know
that is active, but you can see that is continually
focusing, there it's on my hand, I move my
hand away and remember my finger is pressed
halfway down on the button This is good to
remember ONE SHOT means you'll lock your focus
in, it stays set as long as your finger is
pressed down, and in this case, when in SERVO
it's always going to be focusing as I do this.
I have a whole video on this in my "11 Days
to Better Photography" if you haven't signed
up yet, go to fronknowsphoto.com/11 days.
Now, let's get back into the menu, I told
you there's a lot of stuff in the menu system
here, but really you set this once and you
get familiar with where things are so you
can quickly get to it in the future, this
is pretty much a one-time thing.
AF method 1-point AF, you have Smooth zone
AF, that's a larger autofocus area, and then
you have what I thought here was L+ tracking,
but little did I realize the L is actually
a nose, that's face tracking.
Good job Cannon on making an icon that I thought
was an L, that's for face tracking, it's pretty
good if you try that out if you just want
to have the camera kind of do everything for
you that's going to go ahead and do that,
and this time I'm going to leave on 1-point.
AF frame size, I go ahead and leave that on
normal Continuous AF, I have off, this is
something you probably want to leave off.
I tested this out what it means is if you
were to lock your focusing on your hand and
then move it away it's going to continually
focus in the viewfinder, though if you took
a picture your hand would still be in focus,
it's confusing, leave this one off just leave
it off.
Focus modes, this is interesting too, so now
they tell us Enable manual focus (by turning
the focus ring) after autofocus.
So if you have AF on that will also let you
turn this ring right here on your lens and
manually focus, this is a good one to leave
it in or in just AF if you're never going
to manually focus, if you are going to manual
focus by itself you can just go into MF right
there.
AF-assist beam, let's see what this looks
like, if it's too dark it's on, right now
what does the other one say?
Disabled, okay let's see if it comes on, oh
yeah, you see that?
You see that, you see the orange light coming
on right there?
Yeah, that's annoying, right?
You don't want to see that because if you're
going to shoot photos of somebody and try
to get candid and that orange lights coming
on that may not be a good thing.
So, I go ahead and turn that off in every
camera that I use, off, gone.
All right, we've moved through three, let's
get to four.
Now you don't see MF peaking which is manual
focus peaking settings on for us right now
that's because we're plugged into this Atomos.
What that means is it gives you a different
color inside of your screen as you're focusing
to let you know that with manual focus that
you're in focus when you're in focus, try
it out one time.
Moving on we've got IS settings, IS Mode Continuous,
so we go ahead and leave that on.
Now Digital IS, this is only enabled for video,
what it's going to do is crop down your image
just a little bit to help you stabilize it
if you're moving or on shaky ground or in
a car so that’s something you should leave
on enabled.
Moving through Lens aberration correction,
I don't even touch that, Auto exposure bracketing
and this is a little bit of an advanced mode
for those photographers that remember shooting
in Auto exposure bracketing.
That means if you want to take multiple shots
and you want to have one of them be darker,
one of them be brighter and one of – and
that means that one of them is going to be
more correct or in the new way of doing it
if you want to do HDR high dynamic range yourself
you can take a darker image, a brighter image
and one right in the middle and you can merge
them later in the computer.
Moving on to five, ISO speed, you can go ahead
and set your ISO speed in the menu here or
you could do it in the quick mode on the back
of the camera or we have this dial up here
set to change the ISO because actually as
I turn it you can see it's changing.
It's just easier when you preset certain buttons
to functions that you use more often especially
ISO.
So, moving back into here, you can also set
if you're going to shoot auto ISO a maximum
that the ISO would end up going.
Now, keep in mind the lower the number the
more light you need, the higher the number
the more grain you're going to end up seeing
in your images, more noise, more grain.
I also demonstrate this in the "11 Days to
Better Photography."
Highlight tone priority, I leave that off.
Auto Lighting Optimization off as well, Metering
mode, I will show you this real quick, you've
got your Metering mode, Choose the metering
mode (how subject brightness is measured).
You've got Spot metering, Partial metering,
and Evaluative metering, I leave it in Evaluative
metering and what that's going to give you
is an average rating of the brightest and
the darkest part of the scene and it's going
to give you what the camera thinks is the
proper exposure.
So, moving back in here we've got Flash Controls,
so if you're going to use the flash then you
can see that you have a bunch of different
controls if you're going to use the flash.
Moving on to number six, White Balance, I
leave this on auto White Balance for just
about everything I shoot because when I shoot
RAW I can tweak the White Balance later, if
you shoot JPEG's you may want to change the
White Balance depending on the situation you're
in.
You can see some of the different options
right here on the screen and you can actually
see the effect happening as I am changing
it.
It's even nice that you can do your own Color
temperature right here yourself.
So, I'm going to get that back in the auto
and leave that set right there.
Custom White Balance you can set that yourself
if you wanted to do that, White Balance correction,
another thing I don't even touch.
Picture style, this is something that if you
shoot JPEG's you're going to want to have
set, you can have it do it auto which is pretty
good most of the time and remember that you
can change your different picture styles here,
that's also going to affect your video as
well.
So, you can see we've got Fine Details and
Neutral, and Faithful, Monochrome.
Remember if you shoot a JPEG in Monochrome
you're throwing away all the color data, you
can never get it back if you're shooting JPEG,
if you're shooting RAW that RAW data will
still keep the color but on the back of the
screen you'll still see the preview in black
and or white, and when I say black and or
white, I actually mean Monochrome.
So, let's keep moving through, you've got
Custom User Defined 1, 2 and 3 which is awesome
that they give you multiple options for that.
Long Exposure noise reduction I leave that
off.
High ISO speed noise reduction I also believe
that off as well.
Moving into seven, Drive mode, you've got
– not how fast you can drive but how many
frames a second you can shoot.
This is a single frame, every time I press
the button, I'll show you.
Let's see, let me get into shooting, press
the button, take a picture, it takes one picture
it doesn't take more than that.
So, let's go back into here and hit Drive
mode high and we will hear what that does.
Boom, it's continuously shooting until you
run out of space in the buffer or on your
memory card, I believe it's nine frames a
second that you can get right there.
Now, on the last one, I don't have to show
you but its low-speed continuous, I don't
have to show you, but I might as well.
Much slower, if you're going to be in this
I highly recommend that you do leave it in
the high mode right there.
Self-timer/Remote control, you can see that
you can set the timer to 10 seconds, 2 seconds
or custom.
Moving into eight, we have Movie record size,
you can see right here if you've got 1920x1080
at 60 frames at 29 frames – they call this
30 frames, 24 frames then you've got 720,
it's 60 and 720 and 30 frames.
I am a big proponent of leaving it in 1920x1080
at 24 frames a second or in this case 23.98,
that's more of a cinematic look, the look
that you get when you watch movies because
movies are shot in 24 frames.
What you normally would see TV in is 30 frames
and then what you see 60 frames is mostly
video games, it looks kind of awkward when
you shoot there, but test them out for yourself
to see which one you personally like.
Sound recording, most of time you're going
to leave it on Auto unless you have an external
microphone and then you can go ahead and manually
change those yourself.
Movie Servo AF is on, this is great, this
is going to help you autofocus in continuous
focus when you're shooting video, this camera
is fantastic for that.
Moving on we have AF with shutter button during
movie recording, that means you can still
focus with the button right up here when you're
shooting video.
Auto slow shutter, we have this off as well
and that takes us through that entire menu
system, I know that's a lot of stuff but we'll
keep moving on to the Range mode.
Create a folder monthly or do you want daily
either one you choose, it's either going to
set a new folder every day when you start
taking pictures or once a month it will switch
the folder.
File Numbering I leave on Continuous meaning
one photo, when I take the next photo it's
number two and when I turn the camera off
and turn it back on it doesn't reset the one
it will go to 9,999 before it resets back
to zero.
Formatting your card, this is what you would
do if you wanted to clean off everything on
your card, so when you get a new card or a
fresh card when you're ready to shoot you
go here and you hit format.
I'm not to do that right now because I have
sample images that I want to show you guys,
but you always want to reformat your card
right before you're shooting.
First, you want to make sure that you saved
all of the images that you want from those
cards because once you formatted it's much
harder to get them back and recover them,
so, I'm not going to format now.
Video system, you have options for NTSC or
PAL.
That depends on where you are in the world.
Display settings, I have Display control on
auto.
Electronic level, that is pretty cool – let
me show you that real quick out here, you
see the level on the screen?
Yeah, it looks like I'm flying an airplane,
and even if you don’t like this you can
see the lines moving, that's your auto level
and when it gets green like that, that means
you're set properly in level with the horizon.
So, moving back in number two, Eco Mode is
off, Power Saving, Display Off three minutes
yep you get that, basically it's trying to
help you save your battery.
Display brightness right now won't let me
change that but when you go into display brightness
to change – the reason it won't let me change
it – it's because I'm plugged into this
thing right now using an external display,
but when you do this, this is actually pretty
cool going to display brightness you can set
the brightness of the LCD and then when you
put your eye up to the viewfinder the EVF
you can set the brightness for the EVF as
well then you can set your time zone, your
date and time right there.
Language, whatever you're going to speak,
I speak English but look at all those different
languages you could do, Holy God I'm not going
to change it because I'll never be able to
get back to English.
The Beep, I always have the Beep on, that's
for this, check this out, boom, boom, beep.
I like to know when I'm in focus and that's
what the focus Beep does for me.
Hints & Tips, you can leave us on and off,
it's actually nice to have on in the menu
because then it's like having a user's guide
built into the camera for you.
And Sensor cleaning is if your sensor is dirty,
you see some dust in your images, you can
go ahead and do a sensor cleaning right there.
Wi-Fi connect is self-explanatory, Wireless
settings of course for how to set your wireless.
Certification Logo Display, I have no idea
why you need to do this, this isn't for you,
this is probably for the FCC, they would be
chasing me all the time.
Moving next to Custom shooting mode, that's
where you would set your C1 and C2s, that's
a pretty advanced mode, it's awesome to have.
Copyright info, this is where you could set
up your name like this, "Enter author's name.
Enter copyright details."
This is great it's going to save that information
in the metadata of your file so that if somebody
ever sees it they see your information in
there, I would highly recommend you take the
time to get that set.
Reset camera would reset everything we just
did, and the firmware is set to version 1.0.0,
currently.
If you need to update this is where you would
come to update firmware if they put out a
firmware update.
Moving on to the custom function menu, the
first one is blacked out because we're plugged
in as well, this is where you can make custom
changes to different buttons.
We can go in here and look, you can see that
you can map out these different dials that's
exactly what we did, you would then go in
here and you can then make the custom settings
as you see fit.
This is up to your own taste this is personal
choice right here so go in there and make
those settings changes, that's what we like
to do as well.
For example, I went ahead and switched this
back dial around here for when I spin it to
be my aperture, I deactivated most of these
things around here, so I didn’t accidentally
change something I didn't want to change.
As I said earlier we made this ISO, I made
this one right here this MF this MFN button,
we made that from recording video because
it was much easier in selfie mode to hit this
button to record video than it was the hit
this button back here.
And this button right here we left this one
to do changing my shutter speed.
So, those are the custom settings, there's
a lot of different options, play around in
there, read what they're about because your
manual will tell you exactly what those are
about.
And then next and last is the Custom tab,
this is where you can add functions that you
want to get you quicker, this is awesome to
have, you can set things like sensor cleaning
or battery information, whatever you want
to put in here you can go ahead and do that.
When I come back I'm going to show you a couple
of other things with live view that are pretty
cool.
So, I want to ask you a question, how do you
organize and protect your gear?
Well, if you don't know go and download my
brand-new App called "My Gear Vault" it's
the best way to input, organize and protect
your camera gear and it's free, check it out
at mygearvault.com.
So, let's go through the live view and show
you what you're going to see in the EVF or
on back of your screen.
So, right here you can see all the different
things on the screen like the bottom left-hand
corner that is my shutter speed.
As I turn the dial with my front finger you
can see the shutter speed is changing, that's
what's great about mirrorless cameras, you
can see the effect happening as you change
something.
Moving next to that that is your aperture,
you can see that as I turned that it's getting
darker as I raise the aperture, as I lower
it is going to let more light in.
You also see the meter right next to that,
you see how I'm going to get the number right,
the line right in the middle, boom, that's
telling me that it thinks that is the proper
exposure and then to the right of that is
your ISO.
See how I change that, it gets darker as it
goes down, it gets brighter as it goes up,
this is like giving you free camera information
and photography knowledge, it's true, it's
actually pretty easy when you have an EVF.
So, right up here on the top left you've got
manual and next to the manual you've got your
battery indicator plus the RAW plus the JPEG
which is showing you what we're shooting,
how many frames you have left right there
on your SD card and next to that you can see
how much time you have left for video as well
what video mode you're in.
This box right here that has squiggly lines
that are moving that's called a Histogram,
they’re moving to the bottom middle you
can see – again that is your digital horizon.
Let me show you the queue button, I hit the
queue button and up top you can see it says
AF, it also tells you what it is on the screen
and then if you want arrow through it because
you don't want to touch the screen you can
just go ahead and move the jog dial from left
to right or whichever way you go, then you
can move through by dialing down and get to
all those different settings as well.
So, how do you shoot video?
Well, in this case you could be in just manual
mode and still shoot video, so I'm going to
go ahead and focus right here, I'm going to
use this button up top the MFN button and
that we have set to shoot video and boom,
now we can see we are recording video, you
can see we're at four seconds and five seconds
and six seconds.
If I want to refocus, hold the button see
that it's refocusing, that's great, hello,
there it is.
I love the focus on this camera, look how
smooth that was, you can see that it is going
ahead and smoothly focusing and then come
back to my hand, back in focus.
To stop the video recording, we hit that same
button, boom, it stops recording the video
and puts you back into live view right here.
But how do you review your images and your
videos?
Right here's your play button, you go ahead
and hit play, that's the video we just took
and as I turned the dial it's going to rotate
to the pictures that I took earlier as test
shots, boom.
I'm going to go back and show some of the
other images that I took as well, so I'm going
this way, I can also use the arrow button
and they will move much faster.
I took a bunch of shots in a RAW right there
as you can see when we were testing out the
camera, yep, that was when I was taking a
lot of shots, there we go.
So, if I want to see info, I'm going to go
ahead and hit info, and there's the info that
I have from the images that I shot.
That's pretty simple to get back out of that,
you go ahead and hit the play button again,
it brings us back into live view mode and
that's pretty much it.
I know I went over a lot of information, so
I would say please subscribe here on YouTube
so you can be notified when all of my videos
go live so that they can help you become a
better photographer.
But also save the link to this video so that
you can come back at any point and re-watch
any section that you want if there's something
that you don't remember how to use or if I
didn't talk about definitely check out the
User's Manual because it's probably in there.
So, that's where I'm going to leave it guys,
I hope you enjoyed it.
