    As soon as he tossed the manual across the room, I decided to tune in lol

    Quick tip: if you want 30fps you need to select NTSC rather than PAL. Apologies for being late to the party but I only just got a like-new 70D as a backup camera.

    Hi Grant - from a fellow Aussie, (hope I got that right as you might be a kiwi) - I just want to give you a HEARTFELT THANK YOU for this brilliant short instructive video on how to set up a Canon camera to shoot videos for dummies. And that is me! We have owned one for 2 years and took lots of photos with it, but few videos. And today with your instruction I got it set up, managed to download my first video to i-movie, do some basic editing, export the bloody thing, and upload it to Facebook, and it looks just fine!!!!!!! Thanks mate. Very grateful.

    I just bought my cannon 70D for my RUclips cooking Channel. And I was so intimidated with how many options it has. I have an old Cannon Rebel which is so easy to use. Thisone is a big Jump! I read the manual from A to Z which I NEVER DO normally!! And took my first video with this Queen of Intimidation...The video sucked..
    I Google and watch your video. YOU had my full attention after throwing that annoying manual🤪😂👍👍.
    You helped me A LOT. I will take a mother video tomorrow and see how it goes with the settings you showed.

You have solved my lighting problem with this I only have the sound problem now I have the Videomic pro rode mic have you got a video explaining the best settings for this because that would be highly appreciated again thank you keep up the great work.

    This helps a lot for taping auditions because I've been shooting in Auto and you can't adjust the sound level input in that mode so I was dealing with a lot of hiss.

    Totally freakin badass. I was actually googling for ages to find how to change my "internal mic into 25%", as I am using the Rode Pro. There is no tutorial on this and a keyword search comes up pretty empty. So I'd definitely add it in your keywords, that you include the option where to find it.
    Thank you thank you thank you Grant.

  • @johnmurrell3175
    @johnmurrell3175 3 года назад

    You need to disable the wi-fi on the first menu shown as well as movie recording does not work with wi-fi enabled.
    Video could do with some more details on setting exposure / ISO /f stop, I was looking for settings for nigh time video.

    Excellent work!! & perfect to use as a new project template to base my “experimental” settings I’ve always randomly adjusted other than the big guys (aperture, iso, res, etc). However I only came to see some sample clips which I think is a crucial mistake!! We are visual artists after all.
