Canon EOS R8 - My settings for wildlife and landscape photography

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- I want to show you how I configured the Canon EOS R8 for nature photography. This is about menu settings (especially autofocus), button assignment and more. These settings are primarily for wildlife photography (birds, mammals, dragonflies, ...) and also for landscape photography.

Thank you. I just ordered an R8 today. I think I will be coming back to this video many times.
Have fun with the camera 😊
Thank you so much. Very helpful in getting me started with my new R8. I was a bit lost.
Glad to hear that it helped
Was the video helpful? Support me with a SuperThanks 😊
My setup is very similar but I have all of the tracking and eye detection on my front shutter button and the single point AF without tracking on the AF on button. That way most of the time I'm enjoying the excellent tracking and eye detection of the R8 without having to think about an extra button. The back button will override the front button's settings so I don't have to disable it. Thanks for all of the useful information and another very good video as always!
Good point! I think since I use mostly my R5, I prefer to easier move the focus point around if I don’t need to press the AF-On button for single point af
i watched and setup my camera to match Fabian setup but after seeing your comment i switched it around quickly. both good setups. well done.
Great setting bro wow.
Thanks!
Thanks for this video !!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Thank You!
You‘re welcome
Just waiting for my R8 to be delivered 😀
I hope it will arrive soon!
Thanks. The AF functionality is filled with mystery. There is no clear description from Canon regarding the hierarchy or how one mode overrides another when. Where you show how to map the AF button to “switch to registered AF mode” for instance I have found I can get the exact same options also under “AF” - just press info and you can also define and select there. On my R7 I have three AF modes mapped to the shutter, AF and * buttons like that. Every user seems to have their own interpretation of how this flexible system seems to work, but I think we all are guessing.
I hope my video helped a bit 😊
Really helpful! I use Sony but my girlfriend uses an R8. Thanks
Thanks, happy to hear that
Hi Fabian, Good video! For Canon white lens, do you use Mode 1, 2 or 3 for the stabilization?
95% of the time Mode 1
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography Thanks for the reply. Have you tried mode 3? I do pet photography and I have been curious about it. Everything I read says Mode 3 is better for moving subjects.
hello !!! congratulations! your work is wonderful! I follow you and I love your photos and videos so much. I have the R7 and the EF 16-35 f4 L lens, but I’m so far from achieving your results. I’m considering buying a full frame, but my budget doesn’t allow for an R5. I’m giving away the RP and the R8. Could you help me with this choice?
Thank you very much
I assume you are doing landscapes? What’s the issue with the R7?
I use two lenses: ef 16-35mm f4 L and RF 24-105mm f4 L. I'm not getting clear landscape photos with depth of field, at f11, f16 and photos of trees are not sharp. That's why I think about umq FF.
I'm going to visit the canios in Arizona and I'm unsure about taking the photos
thanks
@@rscampos100, a R7 que é o problema, se livre dela o mais rápido possível e pegue uma R8, R62 !
I bought the R8 but it came with a sensor edge only on one side, about 4mm of edge, will I have a problem because of that?
What do you mean with a „sensor edge“?
M@@FabianFoppNaturephotography, that blue part on the sides of the sensor.
Ah, no I think that’s normal. So you see anything in the photos?
@@FabianFoppNaturephotography, nas fotos até agora tudo ok.
Don’t expect similar results unless you have RF 600mm F4 cannon 😂
I was also using other lenses
