Even tho I will never own this camera, Im going to watch this all
Same haha
I have a canon r7 camera which I bought 2 month ago, now it refused to power on
@@st.luciabirdingandwildlife8821 return it then
I was the exact same 1 year later I just picked it up today
I just bought the R7
Hi Jared,
Just finished watching this whole video. Since I've been using an R7 since early August, I have a few notes on it.
I don't know why you didn't mention the Depth Of Field Preview button inside the Manual/Auto Focus Switch, but this is a valuable hold-over from film SLRs that I've been using until today, when I discovered, while following along with your video, that the viewfinder can be set to not only simulate exposure but also always show the depth of field. That should be the default.
Unlike you, I like to use Touch and Drag for the focus point location - using the right-hand side of the screen set to "relative" (not absolute) position - I find that using my thumb on the screen while looking through the viewfinder gives me much finer control than using the joystick, while also avoiding the risk of accidentally changing the dial around the joystick. I use the AF On button to do servo spot focus and the * button to do Eye tracking - if I used a half-press of the shutter button to focus I couldn't easily choose between the two modes.
.
Like you, I live in Manual mode for exposure. However, I don't do a lot of manual focusing so I've set the Control Ring on the lens to simulate the aperture ring on a film camera's lens. In the menu I set that ring to Control, not Focus (and definitely not Off). If I need to manually focus with a lens that doesn't have a separate focusing ring, I can always use the Manual/Auto Focus switch to set the control ring to do manual focus.
Continuing my nostalgia for the film SLR I used for nearly 40 years, I set the shutter speed on the top deck of the camera with the Main Dial, and for the third leg of the exposure triangle I set the ISO with the dial around the joystick. (Ok, I couldn't set ISO on my film camera at all except by changing the film, so that's a plus for digital.)
Living in Manual mode and shooting RAW, I keep the histogram in my viewfinder on so I can expose to the right ("ETTR"). (More informative than a simple single pointer.) Since the histogram display is based on the JPEG picture style, I use a low contrast picture style to make it behave more like the RAW file I'm actually shooting Why isn't ETTR a standard auto exposure option? I might actually *use* Auto exposure if it were.
I can finally say I own this camera and I’m going to watch all of it thank you Jared Polin
Jared, you do a great job with these. Your D5600 user guide helped me so much in 2018 to get started on my photography journey.
For being the bad boy of photography, you did an awesome job on this Jared. You didn't give the true beginners grief, but you did delve pretty deep into the features. Great job pilgrim.
Perfect EXACTLY what I needed, was setting up my new R7. Canon user manual was only a few pages unlike my previous Canon that was thick as a phone book.
While addressing each setting seemed tedious at first it was needed, found myself stopping video to explore the new options.
I've been following The Fro for a number of years found him it be informative and entertaining at the same time.
Thanks..game time now have to go Eagles vs 49ers.
I tried to watch this video when I first got my R7, and my brain went tilt. I went and used the camera and talked to people. I made a ton of mistakes. 9 months later I watch this video again, and it makes so much more sense. Thanks!
Thank you Jared! I just got this camera and would have been lost without this video. Appreciate that you do this work!
I got my R7 in June and been waiting for that video ever since. Thank you sir!
I have been using my R7 since July. Took it on safari to South Africa. This is a great video even after having it a few months. Learned some new things. Thanks!
Man, I got my R7 in the mail yesterday, and it's the first camera I've had in probably 10 years. This video is coming in so clutch right now haha. Thanks for putting the work into this one!
Thank you Jared. Yes it is a long video but one of the best ones out there to take me through the entire menu! I learned so much on my new R7 from this video before I even started to use it. It did help me take better photos of wildlife and portrait photos so far. I also saved this video so I can access the table of contents to help me out when I get stumped on settings or where to find it by your great color code idea of Red, Magenta Blue and so on. This was perfect for beginners like me!!
After months of watching video and reading I went with a r7 this video is a God send!
Fro, I am so impressed. I had already watched two videos from others on my new R7. Never again. You explained everything so well.
Thank you for these!! I just purchased this camera after months of lusting over it and now I’m ready to watch this 💕
October 21st 2023, I just got this Camera today and It is overwhelming to begin with haha. So many options but All I need to know is Juggling the Exposure triangle.
Thank you for the great tutorial Jared. I bought my R7 in early August (upgraded from a 2008 Canon 7D). I hadn’t cracked the manual yet and knew I was missing out on things, but was I ever. This past weekend I shot my daughter’s last horse barrel racing event and was shooting RAW and M and getting way better results than the previous event I shot a month ago. I’ll be buying the FroPack 1-3 Bundle tonight since that tutorial was worth more than $90 to me. FYI: I had some issues trying to buy via my iPad/iPhone the other day via PayPal. I had no problem logging into the PayPal app from those devices, so it seemed to be an issue from your system to theirs - would hang in the step of may second factor authentication.
With Canon’s pretty nice RF lens sale I’m switching over to just RF lenses and for budget (F4 vs F2.8) I went with the L glass of 15-35, 24-105, 70-200, plus the 50mm 1.8 and the 100-400mm that were also heavily discounted.
I'm very new at digital recording. Had a blast with the old film cameras. Thank you Jared for simplifying the introduction tutorial. Using 50mm ef lense now. Waiting for arrival of my 18 to 150mm next week so I can get back in the groove. Will keep refining my familiarity with your tutorial until then. Loving this Canon R7 already and I haven't gotten started yet.😊
Thanks Jared I have a pretty good grasp of my R7, but you gave me a better understanding of a few things and gave me a few things to try out.
Jared, man, thank you for a very clear tutorial...much more enjoyable than Acrobatting through 900+ pages of tech writing. I own the EOS R7 and EOS RP and will look to see if you have a similar guide for the RP. Thanks dude!
Awesome stuff, super informative and a great walkthrough. Thanks!
Thanks Jared, that was an excellent and easy to access and remember tour of my new R7....now to make time to get out and put it into practice.
Brilliant run through (getting my new R7 tomorrow) . So much easier to get a run through of useful stuff to set that using the manual .
Thanks again 👍
My R7 arrived today, I’ll be sitting down to watch this tonight, just what I needed :)
Always get so much out of your videos. Just bought a R7 and already onto my third new lens. Lots to learn. Just trying to home in on those fine detailed shots.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for your videos! Always helpful when I need to make an informed decision!
Excellent, Jared. Good info, delivered at a nice pace.
Great video, I've just ordered a R7 so it was great to watch
Just bought this camera . Upgraded from a Canon DSLR ! Thank you very much for the informative video !
ive just bought the canon eos r7. this video is really good ..thanks for making it
Thank you.. Just got the R7, and you have saved me hours!!
perfect timing I just bought this camera yesterday
Same here 😂
Thanks Jared, when i first decided to get in to photography, my first camara was a Nikon D330 then a D3500 and now first Canon.
Yay, I've been waiting for this.
Interesting, what is wild to me is honestly this is probably a terrible camera for someone's first camera if new to photography, not because it's bad but because it's not designed for them. It's clearly designed for semi-pro to pro use.
I'm super excited about it and these are great to know things as someone moving up to this camera but I'm shocked when people recommend this or the R5 or R6 as people's first camera. I'll give canon credit for knowing how overwhelming this is though and giving simplified options for people.
It would be awesome to see this whole guide again more from a pro standpoint. Also, I'm as a wildlife and landscape photographer, back button focus sure saves me a lot of time from accidentally touching the focus when I don't want to but to each their own.
Appreciate this none the less.
Hi Jarod, purchased the R7 from Allens Camera the other day, awesome camera. This video is excellent. Thank You 😀
This video is extremely helpful and informative! Excellent ! Recently I bought a Canon R7, I have a question, hopefully will get an answer . Menu -- AF page 1 AF operation, my camera always locks at MF, no option for AF SERVO. I tried to reset camera a few times but still when I turn to page 1 of AF, there is no other option except MF in a blue bracket. How can I change to Af servo ? Thanks for a reply. Ray
Hey Jared, any plans for a Z9 video? I know you primarily use Canon gear right now but your knowledge and utility of other cameras would be helpful, at least for me! I know you put a lot of time and effort into these, appreciate it.
The reverse display works only when you turn the screen forward. When it is on the display screen is shown mirrored which helps composing. The image or video is still stored normally. With strobe lights one should turn the exposure simulation off or the viewfinder will be dark.
I don’t even plan on buying the R7 but I’m watching this because I need a photography video fix
Hey, Jared! Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise. This total newbie greatly appreciates you! Quick question. Somewhere along the way in this tutorial, you show how to format the SD card. Is there any difference between formatting via the camera or via a stand-alone computer like a desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.? On the desktop, there are more options (which, of course, adds to this newbie's confusion). Does the camera already know which of these options is best, therefore, formatting on the camera is the best way to format the card? Or, does it lack these options, thus, formatting on a computer is superior? I'm referring to options like File System, Allocation Unit Size, Quick Format, etc. Thanks!
I have been told..and have made it a habit..to format on my PC and then again IN CAMERA...because sometimes get an error message card not formatted by the camera . Double protect that the card is clean and ready to go
Awaiting delivery of mine. Thanks for the video!!
Perfect for setting up my new camera. AWESOME
This was super helpful! Thank you very much
Love those videos so much, I just hope you had one for the old 5D MK IV.
Just to bring the best of her..
Thankyou so much Jared! Sadly this video doesn't help me with the menu. Somehow mine isn't as extended. It only goes to 5 icons and for example, in the red menu there are only 6 numbers... I have this amazing manual macro lens but can't take any pictures cus the option 'release shutter without lens' isn't in the menu... What can I do to get the full menu??
Since buying this camera I’ve had so much fun
It is a fun camera!
Jared, great vids! Canon R7 HDMI clean output. Is there a way to disable "Record Indicator" when in video mode?
Nice! By the way, which editing software do you use to make your videos? The content is so good!
Thank you for going through this camera but what lenses do you recommend?! 😅
Can't wait for the R6 Mark II Video!
Thank you so much! Might be long for a video but not for a new user!
Waiting for my r7 as it’s on back order but thanks for these videos!!!
Thanks Jared..really helped a lot!
HI love this video really helped me set up camera. I cant get the video function to work- message " video SD card cannot be used to indentified to record on multicards ". I have 2 SDs and not sure why I cant video. Tried choosing 1 SD on video but still same message ( is it too small an SD)
Looking forward to test the R7 next week at Photopia in Hamburg. That sadly is the only alternative to Photokina now. I hope Photokina will return one day.
Thanks for all the information great job.
Thanks for all the info
Thanks for the walkthru! Much appreciated
Hello Jared, I don't have the kit lens but I have a rf 24mm and rf 85mm, in IS mode setting, only have 1 option is "Digital IS", there is no "IS mode" option. Is that option only come with the zoom lens? Can you help? Many thanks
Jeremy Parr Hi Jared wow awesome info as I am saving for this camera thank you for showing this video yours truly Jer😁
Thank you Jared that's a great help
I've been having focus problems with my R7 recently. After looking for solutions I see a few people saying Canon has done warranty replacement of some components to fix it.
Hello Jared, I just purchased this camera yesterday, I have experience with canon cameras, however your in depth video helped in many things like I didn’t know that there is a wheel around the joystick for extra control which is used to control the aperture. I got with it an R to EF adapter while using the canon ef 24-105 f4L IS1, the one that comes with the 5D mark 3. Ay 43:45 in your video, you explain about the focus guide. I cannot see the focus meter on the screen like you do when demonstrating it. It’s possible that I cannot see it because I’m using an adapter & ef lens instead of an RF or RF-S like you are using in this video? Thanks
I just got mine, is there a way to prepend the date taken to the image file name? I don't see a way so far
Letss goo my r7 recently ship, soo this is perfect timing
Cool! I'm getting one next week! Thx!
Thank you for this video.
This could be my next camera to start into the RF world. Full Frame later. R6 mII would be my next choice.
Or should I go with full frame from the beginning? So many questions, so many options, so many dollars ...
I think it depends on what youre tryna do with it
Focus bracketing is one of my favourite feature on this camera
Thank you for this video!
The best tutorials on the innerweb
Dear Jarid, i have the R7. what i miss is the pop-up flash. One i stud in a little bit dark tunnel and i am used to use in that situations tu use the pop-up flash. Now i had to use the build-up flach. how can i make a good picture without the poo-up flash or the build up flash? thank you.
Manual threshold for minumum shutter speed when using (custom ranged) auto ISO is the best thing on a camera and you do not explain it 🙂. It is such a great tool. AV mode + limited auto ISO range + this setting = GOLD!
He seems to explain only his way of doing things. That's OK, but that's the reason I soon stopped watching. There are better tutorials which are critical to some options but at least explain them. So not a camera tutorial but to his way of doing photos.
Hi, kind of curious why you would shoot in srgb... isn't adobe rgb the larger colour space?? or does it really even make any difference? great video though, really thinking about getting this camera or the r8 and your videos are being very helpful. Have a good one :)
Thanks, a great quick run through.1:34.21. The manual took me a little longer.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. On my R7, the external microphone only works when plugged into the headphone jack, rather than the microphone jack. Weird.
Must be a Friday camera!
anyone else have this issue? when i plug in an external microphone.. the camera disables the audio noise reduction option (attenuator)? Ive been using external mics and the attenuator option for years on the 60d, 70d, 80d 90d. but the R7 wont allow it?
Dude, thank you so much!!
Perfect. Thanks 🙏
I was looking for the M mode with a clean out for podcasting
the new lens RF-S does not have a manual and Auto button -- so it is on the camera
might be purchasing the R7 moving up from M50 .. can't afford R5 ,,, You suggest the R7 ?
Love your Video!! Since Canon has IBIS and I own a 150-600mm Sigma lens which has IS as well Do you turn it off on lens when using it on the R7 will having both on have a negative effect on results?
Peter McKinnon did a review on the R6 or R5 and was noting how well the IBIS and a lens with IS worked. Almost to the point that a gimbal wasn’t even necessary in most cases. Make sure the firmware for both the lens and camera are up to date.
On the R5 you have an option to turn off the rear screen by pressing the info button. The R7 does not have that option available. I would like to not have the rear screen on all of the time (except for when looking thru the viewfinder) like I have on my R5. Any work around that you know of? I suspect a firmware update to add that option to the info button list may be the only resolution.
Just close it?
I did everything but the video part. I have the ring on my adapter so, I use it to adjust my aperture. Got my camera today.
Great video sharing brother. Thank you
is there any way to film vertical videos?
Hey, you know why I don’t have the option to shoot in 59.94fps? I have only got 25 and 50..
Just bought this for Christmas.. thanks for the info @jared
Can someone please let me know if the Canon RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye Lens will work on the R7... I am getting mixed feedback.. Most say r5 only? Please help me before I make the purchase.
On IS tab mode - I only hace option of Digital movie IS?
On my R7 I don’t see an Image Stabilization Setting, only a Digital IS setting. Where is the other IS setting?
I used it since I got my camera back after 3 months with a new mother board!
This is so strange. I have the same camera bought 1 month ago canon eos r7 and when in selecting video menu RED I can only select between 50 P and 25P in terms of fps for all format videos except the 100fps slow camera. Any help?
That was very useful. Is there an R8 version. I think I'll buy one or the other. --BAK--
Appreciate this video, cheers
How do you setup to take a picture of the moon with R7?
Shooting Clog does not take that much time. My preset works on almost everything I shoot and it takes a second to apply it to all my clips. If you're not going to use Clog, you might as well shoot jpeg.
I take aviation photographs and I just can't get any with the R7 all of them blurred everything I've tryed every setting but still no luck.
Once I get past Jared's delivery his videos are really good. One thing I'm surprised he doesn't talk about is the kit lenses and that they are all polycarbonate (aka plastic) - even the lens mount. Not cool with that.
