@@TheCrooksandCastle Cameras now are so good in continuous AF especially new cameras with eye tracking that you are better off allowing the camera to keep autofocusing all the time when shooting to adjust for micro movements. There are some exceptions such as macro but not many
@Alexander Wells Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Your "Select AF area selec. mode" choice is incongruent with your AF mode choice (Case 2). Playback magnification is best set to "Actual size (from selected AF pt) as this is usually what one wants to inspect for critical focus. In "Custom Controls" if the "Set" button is assigned to "Expo Comp" you can have exposure compensation in Manual mode, if Auto ISO is enabled.
Absolute great advice. So many RUclips's share false info about everything photography. Thanks... WHEN BACK BUTTON IS NOT USEFUL. While pressing back button Auto Focus you can't select another focus point. Let's say you're shooting and decide to move the focus point on a bird that's just to right of center but you have set the focus at center af point. Now if you try to press the a.f. selection button its impossible. But if you have the top main dial set as a.f. half press all you need do is hit the a.f. selection button and move your point to the desired new position. Also you shouldnt use it for dedicated flight photography. Because you will be continuously focusing when shooting birds in flight, it will be more comfortable for your hands to half press the shutter button for focus and fully press to release the shutter, rather than having to hold two buttons at once. I don't use back button focus. I prefer to use back buttons for AF-OFF,ONE SHOT/AI-SERVO,REGISTER RECALL FUNCTION. Also with pro bodies you can register your preferred af point selection so you can switch between say a single point to a focus point cluster. Just by holding or tapping a rear button. I know of no pro- photographer that uses back button as the preferred method. Occasionally using back button in rare instances when the action is slow they may use it. I know pro sports photographers who never adjust the settings in auto focus cases, they just use the defaults. And say they get great results. Speaking of A.F. , below are some of my pro tips on auto focus point selections for budding photographers. A.F.points for Birds in flight: The rule of thumb for birds in flight is that the busier the background, the less focus points you use. If you are a beginner or casual bird photographer, you should select the configuration which has a central focus with about eight surrounding AF points (roughly square-shaped) for birds in flight with busy backgrounds. As you get better, you may want to cut back on the number of surrounding points. Conversely, if you have a plain background behind the action, like full blue sky, is a good time that you have all AF points selected. This maximises your chance of acquiring focus and is especially great with erratic moving birds. I've used this method shooting spiralling Eagles or fights in mid air as well.
At 8:35 of your video, you mentioned how you setup the lock button beneath the dial on the back as a way to lock the touchscreen. How do you do that? Thank you for the great video!
OK found some interesting "focus" features I didn't even know about on the 5D IV. Someone also said the 7D II has the same ability, but I'll have to look into that one.
Dan, thanks for making this video. I'm trying to follow along, but for some reason, on page number one. I lose you after shutter release without card. That's actually the last prompt on my camera. In the upper left-hand corner, I only have 3 numbers. It looks like you have six. If you could provide some knowledge, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Paul
change "RGB" to "Adobe RGB;" it is a larger color space, typ for jpegs, but change it for those times when you need to shoot both RAW & jpeg. picture profile: set a custom picture profile to "Prolost" for max dynamic range and color grading possibilities; sometimes you need to shoot professionally with a dedicated editor. highlight alert & af point are useful sometimes. did canon change the sd card slot in the mark iv? in the mark iii, the sd card slot was never intended for recording video or burst mode raw photos; i got a double exposure one time & camera just stops recording video when writing to the sd card (even with write speeds 120Mbps. i even talked to canon, they told me the sd card slot was only intended for firmware updates. HDMI frame to "60i" for signal to tv or monitors. Q button in video mode, then joystick toggle for audio levels. looking forward to the full review, thanks dan!
The "sd slot only for firmware" is a crock. That Canon rep was mistaken. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV records 4k video to the SD slot with an SDXC card with exFat (bursting thru the 4gb file size limit) SDXC cards UNDER 256k are formatted by the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV as exFat - have tested and used (just like @dan)
Good review, but at this level we ought to be clear about everything. When shooting in RAW, the camera is capturing the raw data only, and so just as the AWB is irrelevant, so the picture style is also irrelevant. The camera will use the selected white balance and picture style choice in order to generate a picture on the camera's view screen, but this information is not transferred into Lightroom. Instead, Lightroom will generate a picture from the raw data based on the setting selections you have chosen in the software, irrespective of the camera picture style choice. Also, Lightroom will set as a starting point the white balance according to the AWB setting that the camera chose. Thanks for the review of the Mark IV.
I stil don't know how to put my setting, because I just want recompose but it doesn't work, when I do that my subject is not in focus, why is that so? What can I do?! What settings shell I use? Can you just show us settings for using viewfinder and recomposing. It works at 5D mark ll but doesn't work with mark IV...😔
Do you if there is a way of preventing your light meter and shooting info turning off after 6 seconds in the view finder? Gets annoying if shooting in manual exposure mode.
excellent video Dan. I agree, there are 2 Stupid Buttons on the left side of the Back-LCD. Why not dedicate those buttons for some other useful functions etc. Suppose if those 2 buttons were optional whereby you had the choice of selecting some menu feature for them, so that you don't have to open menu every time, what would they be ? Thanks, Regards.
Sorry for the late reply! I would definitely like more programmable buttons when doing video. For photos, it would be cool to trigger focus mode presets, WB presets, or assign a menu function to those buttons. On my GH5, I can hold down any button and program that button to control just about any menu function.
+Dan - 1:21 - have recently really been enjoying auto ISO lately for changing situations. 1:26 there's a new setting for AWB to specifically make whites white! you should set that to AWBw and try it out 5:25 Surprised by your condemnation of the back button focus. There are so many great options for BBF - ruclips.net/video/D_R77Gs8Q6E/видео.html
Hey Mitch. So that is a cool option for BBF I didn't know about. It hasn't been a big deal because I have been using the DOF button to switch between servo/single since the 5D3 so even with the shutter I can quickly adapt to different needs. However the ability to alter the focus case or selection mode could yield some additional options although I still don't see myself needing to change those on the fly yet. I might try changing my AE lock button to something like that since I almost never use it for AE lock. My reason for not using BBF is that people were mostly using it to focus/recompose which I'm not a big fan of since the 5D2. I used BBF on the 5D2 though because only the center AF point was any good so you were almost forced to focus/recompose and BBF works well for that. But maybe these options will bring BBF back to life.
Mitch Aunger I really enjoyed your presentation of the Canon 5D Mark 4,what was most important to me was that you said it was about the Canon 5D Mark four and you stuck to your guns which I found very unusual in to many reviews. I watch your video for one reason and one reason only I trust you to only talk about the Canon 5D Mark 4 which I think you did a very good job of it ,in the military we call that need to know information and you did a very good job of it.
just to voice another opinion...I thought the speed was fine, even at 2x. You can always pause or hit the J key or back arrow to rewind 10 seconds if you miss something. Hit the C key to add a caption of the transcript which if you watch simultaneously helps you pick up on any words you might miss.
What i think OP meant is he isn't explaining clearly why he chose those functions. For example, 2:10 "i typically turn those 3 off " and I'm thinking huh, but why tho
Love the idea to customize the DOF button to switch between AI Servo and Single Shot. For some reason the switch isn't working for me. Is there a setting that might not allow this customization to work? The camera and lens are new.
This could have been a great video if it was a bit slower and actually explained why and the different settings for purpose. I had to check out of it earlier because it was like watching a game of ping pong.
hello for you and thanks so much for all information ,, but please I have one problem ,, I can connect wireless mic with my canon mark iv ,, do you have any idea about the connection ? thanks again
The connection is a 3.5mm (1/8") jack on the camera. If your wireless mic is XLR, you can get a converter cable. It should work fine for recording a wireless mic
how do u use external flash on this camera I just bought it but it doesn't show my setting for my flash on the camera I have canon 5d mark 4 with cameron trigger ttl and reciver with canon 580 ex flash speedlite??? now I don't know how use the flash off the camera ???
@@CreampieSamuri This would be relevant if dude didn’t gloss over entire setting screens and mention other settings in passing, making it hard for beginners to grasp much at all of what he’s trying to convey. And beginners are who are most likely to want to have someone else tell them what settings to use.
hello I really need a help here! I have a canon eos 5d and I had try so many deferent ways to make my photos clear but its not working :( I don't understand what is the problem so can you help me can you do a video about how to make the photos clear even if moving! but please if you can also say the deferent btw canon eos 5d or eos 5d mark thank you :)
Hi Dan , video helped me with my new camera, coming from a 6d do you have anything to help with focus options , as in locking focus and tracking ? Thanks
Awesome! So I always pick my focus point and chose Servo when focusing on a moving object or One Shot for still subjects like landscape, food, portraits. Now if you are shooting something like a bird that could be anywhere in the frame, make sure you are on servo, and go with a larger area such as Zone or Auto selection AF which will track the object as it moves across the frame.
Why my 5dmark iv is making soft images.. I've changed all my lenses and using canon lens but still it's risky.. when ever i recompose my frame photos gets soft. Even on f4 😓
What lens are you using? Try shooting in live view because the focus system is different and sometimes more accurate (though slower) for still subjects just to see if maybe there is an issue with the lens focus system.
Thanks! Very different cameras. Sure, the A7RII blows the 5D4 out of the water in video quality and the Sony is still better for stills quality. But I would take a 5D4 over the A7R2 any day if I was shooting weddings/events. What are you shooting?
im a little surprized that you bought the 5D4. because i thought the 4k jpg was going to stop you from buying it. so i would like to know your reasoning. im still considering it just because of my glass. but really want to go mirrorless. but i really want a touch screen. and Sony and fuji seem to not get that people want them. witch is a real let down. the XT2 and A7r ll and A99ll are really nice but no touch screen. and Canon gives us a 5D4 without an articulating screen. and 4k jpg. so its not easy to figure out what direction to go in.
For me, the majority of my business is still wedding photography and I currently shoot Canon 5D3s for that. Mjpeg has horrible file sizes ( + a large crop) and isn't the greatest when editing but transcoding and proxy files will help that a bit. I'm still majorly disappointed though and there is a chance I will return it. But I'm still invested in Canon so unless Nikon introduces a new D810 with solid 4k video options, I don't have another camera system that can do both better than the 5D4. I'm absolutely considering the A99II now though. It looks really nice but I'm not sure Sony's commitment to it yet. Sony left a bad taste in my mouth in the past where they seemingly abandoned a camera line without notice. Sony lenses too are even more expensive than Canon. Just check out the A mount 70-200 F2.8...it's $3000!
FYI, Nikon has said they're getting out of the "professional video" business so I don't know what that means for video going forward on their DSLRs And the A99ii is an SLT - so you lose some light (I've never tried it but that's what I read) and their 4k in full frame is doing some kind of pixel binning or line skipping - only their super35 crop doesn't do binning or skipping
It is true you lose some light with an SLT but typically it's only about 1/3 of a stop and with Sony's new sensor, it has amazing low light performance so it should be pretty good. Yes, the A99II requires Super35 to not bin or skip but the 5D4 has a 1.7x crop for 4k video so you are still (in theory) way better off with the Sony.
Well super35 is more like 1.39x I believe which means the A99ii has over a 40% more area on the sensor I believe than the 5D4 in video. Add to that the BSI sensor and more oversampling and you potentially have better low light performance for video, more detail, and certainly a more convenient crop factor.
There are very few bad reviews AFTER someone owns the camera - all the "bad reviews" you're talking about were people bitching about SPECS before the camera came out. Other than Peter Gregg sending his back because he doesn't have a computer to handle the 4k, I've seen very few people who don't love this camera after owning it.
I have seen few "bad reviews" from professional photographers. If they are principly interested in video, they buy a different camera without making a great song and dance about it. If they are principly interested in stills, then I have seen mostly positive reviews. Spec sheet junkies, and fanboys for some other brand, are another matter
The industry (at least for weddings) is cross pollinating a bit with photographers shooting some video either for their own use, a brides request, or to create interest in a slide show. Plus, many of the other brands are offering it. While no one should downrank the 5D4 for being a bad video camera, it's clear that it offers less than some other brands and that many photographers have a desire or requirement to shoot some video. Or, like me, your studio shoots both and would prefer to have 1 camera system for both. My biggest issue is it is clear Canon is intentionally limiting features they could offer solely to protect their video line. It's an executive decision I do not support. Including clog, allowing 4k out to a recorder, including h.264 like EVERY other camera...those do not hurt photographers and likely do not require hardware changes. I compliment Sony, Fuji, & Panasonic on their effort to not intentionally restrict their cameras.
Thanks for posting this video! As far as video goes, are there color modes or picture profiles to choose from (like how Sony has Slog2 and Slog3)? Thanks
Update: CLog coming in July for an extra $100, plus you have to ship your camera to Canon to get it installed. I use Flaat 10-12 profiles and EOSHD's version of log, with some decent results. It really doesn't expand your exposure range, though.... www.eoshd.com/2016/09/now-available-eoshd-picture-profiles-brings-c-log-canon-dslrs-including-1d-x-mark-ii-5d-mark-iv/
maybe this is a stupid question, but it's a lot of money to spend - is the mark4 worth upgrading from my mark2? i do both sports photography and i am also an indie filmmaker. can anyone advise me on this?
It's definitely a solid update but I'm not sure this would be the best camera for you for those needs as the 5D4 is horrible for shooting 4k. I almost think you would be better off with a Canon 7D Mark II and some awesome new lenses. The new Sony A9 might be your dream camera as well but it's a bit more expensive.
How does the 7d compare to the mark4? I would obviously do my research as well, but always good to hear from experience. Thanks for the reply by the way.
For 1080p video it is very close though technically low light performance is better on the 5D4 if everything else was equal. For video my favorite Canon DSLR is the 80D though since you have the flip screen. The biggest reason though to consider the 80D or 7D2 over the 5D is the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which is an amazing lens for those cameras.
SRGB is how 100% of the internet and 90% of everything else works. I would only use Adobe rgb if everything you use from monitors to printers are calibrated 10bit Adobe rgb and even then it will convert to SRGB if you go to the web
I feel like I'm getting some battery leak with the Tamron on the camera. Might need to send it in. Sometimes I'll grab the camera and the battery will be dead. Quality wise it is very good but not stunning. Focusing has been fine in most cases but I've had issue with very backlit environments. Hard to tell if that is the camera or lens though.
I shot with Tamron on 5D4 for one shoot - IQ was ok, but focussing was often slow. In fact I bit the bullet and swapped out for Canon 24-70 - major upgrade - little expensive tho'
Good content--I think--but everything was too fast! Please slow down your comments, don't fiddle with the possible choices unless it's to explain the option and slow down the camera work! There was so much to take in and I wanted to learn what you had to offer. The presentation prevented that.
Thanks Dan. Recently I went through this video to set WB in Live View: ruclips.net/video/uIFYMAXbb9k/видео.html I wanted to do exactly the part demonstrated between 0:20 - 0:25. However, when I press the WB/metering button in camera, I get both metering mode and WB options in the screen (as against only WB option in the RUclips video). Can you pl. help if I am missing something?
Do you typically speak this fast. Im new to this camera and hoped to learn but something but too fast for me. Thanks for the vid though I sure someone would have followed
ellbert dinoy - that is a little cynical! The 5D4 has the best (by far) Canon sensor on FF - AF is not improved, fast recording to two cards - maybe you missed those (and other) game changing improvements over (esp T5) earlier bodies
i never said that 5d4 is not one of the best one out there. smh i said what is the point of buying 5d4 or any expensive camera if you will just turn off all the features that came with it. it was sarcasm when mentioned t5
I have recently gotten this camera and thought your video would help but you are moving and talking too fast. I was trying to go through the steps with my camera to see where you are but just cannot keep up. I am not a beginner photographer but neither am I a pro. Thanks for making the video though.
Look.. over there.. now, here... o, new button.. .look, won't show you how I set it, just that its there.. and over here, no, there. Look I'm wheeling all over. Confused? Watch my other videos they're just as dysfunctional.

You can do it in the last yellow menu.
On the 5D III you could change the Iso by pressing 'set' and turning the upper wheel as well
0:48 Those lens corrections are for JPG images only, they don't store in RAW files. So that's why you don't see an effect.

I have seen many cameras which have a lock switch under, where it is written set. What does that switch do and what it means
So most cameras have the ability to change what that lock switch does but usually by default it prevents one of the dials from doing anything

Look again
Camera settings are all relative to the shooter. Learn your camera and what works for you.
Please slow down! Your information sounds great, but how can anyone comprehend when you’re going a mile a minute.
You do know it's possible to rewind and watch again, right? Be a grown up, rewind parts you missed like I did, and rewatch it.
@@CreampieSamuri This would be relevant if dude didn’t gloss over entire setting screens and mention other settings in passing, making it hard for beginners to grasp much at all of what he’s trying to convey. And beginners are who are most likely to want to have someone else tell them what settings to use.
The settings don’t display on the back on my camera when I’m shooting. How do I fix this? I’ve been struggling with this for two days.
Try hitting the INFO button on the camera next to the menu button
Did you end up fixing the issue? I’m having the same problem:(
hello I really need a help here! I have a canon eos 5d and I had try so many deferent ways to make my photos clear but its not working :( I don't understand what is the problem so can you help me
can you do a video about how to make the photos clear even if moving! but please if you can also say the deferent btw canon eos 5d or eos 5d mark
thank you :)
Increase shutter speed
What does changing the picture style from standard to neutral do?
Nothing for raw files
How did you program the lock button to "lock" the touch screen?
Which is better canon 5d mark iii or mark iv
hey dan watson hope you fine and doing well...
how to set mark iv for indoor studio plz reply...
It can really differ but you would be at single focus since your subject is not moving much...other than that, it all depends
How's that Tamron 24-70 worked for you in long term?.. also especially on this 5dm4 in terms of resolution.. Have a mind to buy it :)
Very cool man, cheers saved me reading the manual
Hi Dan , video helped me with my new camera, coming from a 6d do you have anything to help with focus options , as in locking focus and tracking ? Thanks
Awesome! So I always pick my focus point and chose Servo when focusing on a moving object or One Shot for still subjects like landscape, food, portraits. Now if you are shooting something like a bird that could be anywhere in the frame, make sure you are on servo, and go with a larger area such as Zone or Auto selection AF which will track the object as it moves across the frame.
Dan Watson thanks for your time , I will give that a go , had a quick play yesterday and love it ,
Why my 5dmark iv is making soft images.. I've changed all my lenses and using canon lens but still it's risky.. when ever i recompose my frame photos gets soft. Even on f4 😓
What lens are you using? Try shooting in live view because the focus system is different and sometimes more accurate (though slower) for still subjects just to see if maybe there is an issue with the lens focus system.
Dan thankz for a nice video i am using sony a7R2 loking to buy this canon 5 d mark 4 is it worth it please suggest thank u
Thanks! Very different cameras. Sure, the A7RII blows the 5D4 out of the water in video quality and the Sony is still better for stills quality. But I would take a 5D4 over the A7R2 any day if I was shooting weddings/events. What are you shooting?
hello can you let me know how big is the file for video, if I recording 5 minute video?
I believe I get around 15 minutes on a 64GB card
The Rate button is pretty meh but using it for a Lock feature makes it at least useful lol
what is the tripod you are using here?

nice video...can u tell me about battery backup
Hello
I have question of you can help me on it?
im a little surprized that you bought the 5D4. because i thought the 4k jpg was going to stop you from buying it. so i would like to know your reasoning. im still considering it just because of my glass. but really want to go mirrorless. but i really want a touch screen. and Sony and fuji seem to not get that people want them. witch is a real let down. the XT2 and A7r ll and A99ll are really nice but no touch screen. and Canon gives us a 5D4 without an articulating screen. and 4k jpg. so its not easy to figure out what direction to go in.
For me, the majority of my business is still wedding photography and I currently shoot Canon 5D3s for that. Mjpeg has horrible file sizes ( + a large crop) and isn't the greatest when editing but transcoding and proxy files will help that a bit. I'm still majorly disappointed though and there is a chance I will return it. But I'm still invested in Canon so unless Nikon introduces a new D810 with solid 4k video options, I don't have another camera system that can do both better than the 5D4. I'm absolutely considering the A99II now though. It looks really nice but I'm not sure Sony's commitment to it yet. Sony left a bad taste in my mouth in the past where they seemingly abandoned a camera line without notice. Sony lenses too are even more expensive than Canon. Just check out the A mount 70-200 F2.8...it's $3000!
FYI, Nikon has said they're getting out of the "professional video" business so I don't know what that means for video going forward on their DSLRs
And the A99ii is an SLT - so you lose some light (I've never tried it but that's what I read) and their 4k in full frame is doing some kind of pixel binning or line skipping - only their super35 crop doesn't do binning or skipping
It is true you lose some light with an SLT but typically it's only about 1/3 of a stop and with Sony's new sensor, it has amazing low light performance so it should be pretty good. Yes, the A99II requires Super35 to not bin or skip but the 5D4 has a 1.7x crop for 4k video so you are still (in theory) way better off with the Sony.
Thanks Dan. I'm looking forward to seeing the A99ii -- but are you saying a 1.5 vs 1.74 is "way better off"? Seems like a nit to me
Well super35 is more like 1.39x I believe which means the A99ii has over a 40% more area on the sensor I believe than the 5D4 in video. Add to that the BSI sensor and more oversampling and you potentially have better low light performance for video, more detail, and certainly a more convenient crop factor.
I'm surprised you still picked up the 5DMKIV after all of the bad reviews on the camera. So, what's your take on it?
There are very few bad reviews AFTER someone owns the camera - all the "bad reviews" you're talking about were people bitching about SPECS before the camera came out. Other than Peter Gregg sending his back because he doesn't have a computer to handle the 4k, I've seen very few people who don't love this camera after owning it.
bad reviews for video fanboys, then don't buy it, but if you have to ask someone What they think, you're being a noob.
I have seen few "bad reviews" from professional photographers. If they are principly interested in video, they buy a different camera without making a great song and dance about it. If they are principly interested in stills, then I have seen mostly positive reviews.
Spec sheet junkies, and fanboys for some other brand, are another matter
The industry (at least for weddings) is cross pollinating a bit with photographers shooting some video either for their own use, a brides request, or to create interest in a slide show. Plus, many of the other brands are offering it. While no one should downrank the 5D4 for being a bad video camera, it's clear that it offers less than some other brands and that many photographers have a desire or requirement to shoot some video. Or, like me, your studio shoots both and would prefer to have 1 camera system for both.
My biggest issue is it is clear Canon is intentionally limiting features they could offer solely to protect their video line. It's an executive decision I do not support. Including clog, allowing 4k out to a recorder, including h.264 like EVERY other camera...those do not hurt photographers and likely do not require hardware changes. I compliment Sony, Fuji, & Panasonic on their effort to not intentionally restrict their cameras.
Thanks for posting this video! As far as video goes, are there color modes or picture profiles to choose from (like how Sony has Slog2 and Slog3)?
Thanks
Not really. Nothing flat and no log. You can edit the standard picture profiles a bit though
Dan Watson thanks!
Update: CLog coming in July for an extra $100, plus you have to ship your camera to Canon to get it installed. I use Flaat 10-12 profiles and EOSHD's version of log, with some decent results. It really doesn't expand your exposure range, though.... www.eoshd.com/2016/09/now-available-eoshd-picture-profiles-brings-c-log-canon-dslrs-including-1d-x-mark-ii-5d-mark-iv/
Omggg so fast!! slow down for someone to learn about the settings? That's why I clicked this video lol
Sorry! I made this video a while back and honestly I was pretty bad on camera then lol...the new videos are WAY better I promise haha
I wonder why your controls look so different from mine that is the exact same model.
Switch your camera to manual mode
hi, which tripod you are using?
It is no longer available but you can check out all my gear: kit.com/learningcameras
maybe this is a stupid question, but it's a lot of money to spend - is the mark4 worth upgrading from my mark2? i do both sports photography and i am also an indie filmmaker. can anyone advise me on this?
It's definitely a solid update but I'm not sure this would be the best camera for you for those needs as the 5D4 is horrible for shooting 4k. I almost think you would be better off with a Canon 7D Mark II and some awesome new lenses. The new Sony A9 might be your dream camera as well but it's a bit more expensive.
How does the 7d compare to the mark4? I would obviously do my research as well, but always good to hear from experience. Thanks for the reply by the way.
For 1080p video it is very close though technically low light performance is better on the 5D4 if everything else was equal. For video my favorite Canon DSLR is the 80D though since you have the flip screen. The biggest reason though to consider the 80D or 7D2 over the 5D is the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which is an amazing lens for those cameras.
Great video to the point and pitched just right well done.
What’s the point on using SRGB?
SRGB is how 100% of the internet and 90% of everything else works. I would only use Adobe rgb if everything you use from monitors to printers are calibrated 10bit Adobe rgb and even then it will convert to SRGB if you go to the web
The most complicated camera in life
Appreciate your quick, sensible review. Subscribed to your channel. Look forward to Lightroom tips. Big fan of that program! Thanks, Bruce
Awesome! Glad to have you on board. I definitely agree that some tutorials and tips would be great. Thanks Bruce
Your color space should probably not be sRGB but Adobe RGB 1998. Throwing away so much color gamut you can utilize with printing.
I disagree--ruclips.net/video/g_mWzzOdZUQ/видео.html
Thanks for the video. Can you share us some raw files to play around please
Great tips!
Audio controls!! YAS, I agree!
What tripod do you have?

Troppo in fretta ma come la fai questa lezione
Hi, how's your Tamron 24-70 is performing with 5DIV .. any update or tweaking is needed ?
I feel like I'm getting some battery leak with the Tamron on the camera. Might need to send it in. Sometimes I'll grab the camera and the battery will be dead. Quality wise it is very good but not stunning. Focusing has been fine in most cases but I've had issue with very backlit environments. Hard to tell if that is the camera or lens though.
Thank you for sharing your experience .. in my case I fell like I get more vignetting compare to my old 5dM3
I shot with Tamron on 5D4 for one shoot - IQ was ok, but focussing was often slow. In fact I bit the bullet and swapped out for Canon 24-70 - major upgrade - little expensive tho'
Sir i use to shoot wildlife specially sometimes weeding thank you
For that, either get the Canon 7D Mark II or the Canon 5D Mark IV
When you can workout a computer, a phone, PlayStation, Xbox but lost on a camera 😂
Good content--I think--but everything was too fast! Please slow down your comments, don't fiddle with the possible choices unless it's to explain the option and slow down the camera work! There was so much to take in and I wanted to learn what you had to offer. The presentation prevented that.
Way too fast
I never understood why the screen turns off when you're going to shoot
Custom button; Your ISO changes AND your compensation changes. What's up?
Talking way too fast to follow :(
i just set the playback speed to half then u can understand and follow along
@@King-ex4df Thank you!
6.10 which button?
other objects in the way... that would be the groom I guess!
Thanks Dan. Recently I went through this video to set WB in Live View:
ruclips.net/video/uIFYMAXbb9k/видео.html
I wanted to do exactly the part demonstrated between 0:20 - 0:25. However, when I press the WB/metering button in camera, I get both metering mode and WB options in the screen (as against only WB option in the RUclips video). Can you pl. help if I am missing something?
Do you typically speak this fast. Im new to this camera and hoped to learn but something but too fast for me. Thanks for the vid though I sure someone would have followed
Thanks alot man!
One time I saw a flash, but it ended up being lightening in the shape of a picnic basket.
It becomes so annoying when wrong content is thrown up at you from yotube! you guys need to get your SEO right
“Touch shutter? Nooooo” lol
THAAAAAAAAAANK YOU
Whats the point of buying an expensive camera if you will just turn off all the features that you paid for? Get a T5
ellbert dinoy - that is a little cynical! The 5D4 has the best (by far) Canon sensor on FF - AF is not improved, fast recording to two cards - maybe you missed those (and other) game changing improvements over (esp T5) earlier bodies
i never said that 5d4 is not one of the best one out there. smh
i said what is the point of buying 5d4 or any expensive camera if you will just turn off all the features that came with it. it was sarcasm when mentioned t5
i have a 5d4 and i never turn off the features i paid for..
I prefer to turn off all the bells and whistles that are included as that's how I shoot.
Way too fast
You don't do auto ISO???! You sure about that?
If your turning all the features off I think u need a new camera 📷😉buddy
I have recently gotten this camera and thought your video would help but you are moving and talking too fast. I was trying to go through the steps with my camera to see where you are but just cannot keep up. I am not a beginner photographer but neither am I a pro. Thanks for making the video though.
Thank you so much
Turn off the lens optimizer? you gotta be kitting me!
Well it slows down the camera and you can just do it afterwards with your computer.
Good 👍
. Video Ek number
Do not use 3:2 for RUclips videos, your pictures will be cropped, use 16:9 instead.
all off
Well now I know how to ignore and turn off every feature on this camera, in this whistle stop non tour, I will go out and buy a new phone.
these type tutorials should be in hindi also
I owned that Tamron lens and it was horrific.
So frustrating. Can you slow down?
Too fast to catch up . Wish you would be a bit slower great video though
Look.. over there.. now, here... o, new button.. .look, won't show you how I set it, just that its there.. and over here, no, there. Look I'm wheeling all over. Confused? Watch my other videos they're just as dysfunctional.
