Good stuff. I’d love to see some R50 video samples outside and in different conditions: “vlogging” “cinematic shots” etc. I definitely agree the contrast needs to come down. I’ve seen some other channels who have published “cinematic” samples using the R50 and the contrast is quite overbearing. I would probably reduce contrast to at least -2 or -3. Cheers.
OMG! You just saved my life with this setup. I am new to cameras and you got my footage lookin’ great to me straight off the SD Card. Will this same thing work with my Canon M50 too?
Love the color profile of your set. What color temperature lights are your using and what White Balance do you have it set to. Also I have been searching but haven't seen ANY videos on setting a Custom White Balance on the R50. I have seen someone do it on the R10 and I like how they have improved how it is set compared to older Canon cameras. I still have a Canon t5i and I'm thinking about this as an upgrade. On a side note. I run Magic Lantern firmware on my t5i. One of the features I like is custom (grids/cropmarks) Do you know if you can run custom grids on the R50? Thanks.
Hey thanks ! I leave my temperature set to 5600 K. When I'm recording inside all of my lights are 5600 and I always make sure to use a color chart at the beginning of my videos that I can use to color grade with to dial it in even closer. I have not seen any options on the R50 for custom grids.
I've said this multiple times within the comments... This video was for people who have this camera already, as such you would know what the before video looks like. These settings take less than 5 mins to change and then you can see the after. There are hundreds of comments here of people thanking me for the setting because it made a big change for them. None of the default bult in profiles for this camera looks really good at all.
How to use HDR PQ enabled such that you get 10 bit colors, but convert it to SDR Rec.709 in editing tool (davinci for example) by preserving those 10 bit colors to edit with ?
I haven't messed with that mode much at all on this camera. For what I bought it for The standard 4k has worked good for me. I have my Canon R5 for if I need to shoot in a flat/LOG format.
If you have eye auto focus turned on it should be able to find you. That's all I use for these videos that I record. also use the canon app on your phone to sync to the camera that way you can use the phone to also make sure you tap yourself and that it is focusing properly at a distance.
I just got my camera and I haven't yet figured out how I can save the video settings. Every time I switch the camera on I have to do everything over again, which is quite frustrating.
If you’re in the custom profile settings like I showed in the video it should automatically save once you back out to the menu and hit set. Once I selected this profile in video mode ’ve never had to swap it back.
hello everyone. I need your help guys))) I'm a begginer too and was trying to do the settings as shown on this video but on my camera I can not choose the picture still and also clarity is just grey so I can not open it. please tell me what do I need to change to have an access to change this
You should be able to use these settings for most normal video stuff. I use it for everything on my r50. I have not had a chance to try it with sports but don’t know what it wouldn’t work.
Hi, i'd like to know, how can i protect my R50's sensor?, cus it's always expossed. I was waching other video where someone use the sensor cleaning option in a R5 just to dropp the courtain for protection, but i haven't fount where's it located.
There is no curtain in the r50 as far as I know. I just keep a lens on mine at all times. If you swap lenses it will be ok for the short time they are off.
for the R50 these settings will work in all video recording modes with the exception of HDR PQ which is a more neutral HDR recording format which requires color grading in editing.
Just got a Canon R50 vlogger kit with the RF S18-45 F4.5-6.3 IS STM Len that comes in the kit, should I use the same settings as you described? Thanks,
Thanks Rex. I got this camera but when I copy the video to my cellphone (Samsung a33 with uhd video) it does not recognize the file. What am I doing wrong
This would be somewhat similar to "Prolost" setting that people used to do on the older Canons, seems odd to do this on an r5 or R6, because it means your are choosing 8 bit recording over 10 bit. When I used Prolost Flat setting I also turned on the D+ or D+2 (HTP highlight tone Priority to get even more dynamic Range out of the Camera
With the R6 I use -4 Sharpness, -4 Contrast, -2 Saturation, and 0 Tone, plus D+2 HTP because yes it increases dynamic range by a full stop. I also just use C-LOG2 when I am shooting something that warrants the 10bit 4:2:2 but I usually stick with 8bit for ease of use of the H.264 files (10bit, Clog is only wrapped in the H.265 format which is a pain in the ass).
Is it possible changing settings like aperture and speed while streaming with the USB C connection? When I plug in a USB C cable and record video on my Mac I can not change any settings. Only when cable is unplugged again, I can change settings. That seems a bit weird, as I should be able to change settings while streaming, if I find that a settings needs to be set different. (Canon EOR R50, Mac Mini M1, Quicktime) Any help about that would be nice.
Not a clue, maybe a bad cord or cable for your mic? I run RODE Wireless Go mics and RODE NTG shotgun mics and never have any audio issues like what you are describing.
It depends on what I’m doing. For this specific video I was using the Rode wireless go 2. For some of my other videos if I’m in my office I use the Shure SM7B
Check and make sure your internal audio isn't set up too high. I actually keep mine down fairly low which is generally the recommendation if you use an external microphone and then raise it up and post. If it's still having an issue possibly return the camera and swap it out.I've had mine since lunch day and have never had this issue.
Hello and thank you for the video. Unfortunately, my camera doesn't show the setting you show on yours. In video mode, I only have 1,2, & 3. It doesn't go up more than that and I don't see what you are talking about on the menu. Could you please help?
You should tell people that Canon claims that the camera supports UVC/UAC, which means that it can be used as a web camera via a USB-C connection. BUT... it turns out that the USB connection doesn't transmit audio - just video. (In other words, it doesn't really support UAC.) It's bad enough that the camera simply doesn't do something that the literature claimes it does. When I contacted them, they weren't interested in clearning up their documentation to reflect the truth.

Thank you so much !
Thanks dude. Made my footage look instantly better 🤯
Glad it helped !
thank you so much for sharing. im new to all this so this really helps. Please continue to put out more tips for the eos r50.
great and easy, thank you! would love more r50 videos for webcam and lighting combos indoors :)
Noted!
Thank you !
Glad it helped !
Very helpful thank you
Tnx buddy trying this tomorrow while recording .
Thanks for the great tutorial, excellent.
Thank you!!!!
OMG! You just saved my life with this setup. I am new to cameras and you got my footage lookin’ great to me straight off the SD Card. Will this same thing work with my Canon M50 too?
Thanks a lot! I just purchased an r50 with the same lens that you have. Can you suggest any color profiles to make the picture look more cinematic?
ty for help)
Thanks

Thank you so much. No one is talking about this on RUclips. All the other tutorials are so plain. Thanks again for your help.
Super helpfu dude ❤
I know you said you don’t use hdr pq but can you make a video using that, and how you would color grade it
thanks
Would’ve been nice to had seen a before and after
The assumption is that if your watching this video you already have the camera and therefore are seeing the before

Hi how can I set the camera to focus only on me while filming myself in video?
If you have eye auto focus turned on it should be able to find you. That's all I use for these videos that I record. also use the canon app on your phone to sync to the camera that way you can use the phone to also make sure you tap yourself and that it is focusing properly at a distance.
@@RexxReviews hi tnx for reply, yes its turned on but the background looks sharp also its not blurry. Do you have a clue why ?
great video!! how about photo settings for r50?
Would these settings also be applied when the camera is set to uvc webcam mode? Thanks so much for this helpful video.
Yes it just sends to the PC what the camera is set up for at that moment.
Make more r50 video sir
Thanks!

I can’t find the 3rd menu 😢😢 this is my first camera and I have scattered a lot of the setting 😢😢
Check your top dial and see that you are set to video and not one of the photo modes
Same with me I m on the video mode still can't find it
How come that mine menu is totally different?? I'm from Europe but my settings is totally different than yours shown in the vid, im confused :/
Check your top dial and see that you are set to video and not one of the photo modes.
Would you recommend this or just vlogging? Or can this be used in general? I’m using my for sports video.
You should be able to use these settings for most normal video stuff. I use it for everything on my r50. I have not had a chance to try it with sports but don’t know what it wouldn’t work.
@@RexxReviews appreciate it, going to give it a shot! Thanks for the great info. Still trying to learn the camera.
Does this good for taking pictures with my lens 50mm ?
Hi, i'd like to know, how can i protect my R50's sensor?, cus it's always expossed.
I was waching other video where someone use the sensor cleaning option in a R5 just to dropp the courtain for protection, but i haven't fount where's it located.
There is no curtain in the r50 as far as I know. I just keep a lens on mine at all times. If you swap lenses it will be ok for the short time they are off.
Question, do you still change these settings if you’re shooting raw video?
for the R50 these settings will work in all video recording modes with the exception of HDR PQ which is a more neutral HDR recording format which requires color grading in editing.
Just got a Canon R50 vlogger kit with the RF S18-45 F4.5-6.3 IS STM Len that comes in the kit, should I use the same settings as you described? Thanks,
It only takes a few minutes to set up so absolutely try them out. These are the same settings that I still currently use on all my new videos.
I will, thanks for your reply!

Why didn't you do q before and after doing the setting
I have black acoustic panels and there not that visible even with a ring light and when they are there's noise is there a solution for this?
Not a clue, maybe a bad cord or cable for your mic? I run RODE Wireless Go mics and RODE NTG shotgun mics and never have any audio issues like what you are describing.
Its all good i ended up fixing the problem@@RexxReviews
What microphone do u use?
It depends on what I’m doing. For this specific video I was using the Rode wireless go 2. For some of my other videos if I’m in my office I use the Shure SM7B
I get this like “sshhh” sound in all my videos. It doesn’t matter whether I am doing it with or without a mic. Any suggestions?

What movie rec size did you use for recording this video?
4k Standard IPB 23.98
These setting are not available on video. Only if you switch to a picture mode.
I use this set of settings for every video I record with the R50.... in video mode.
@@RexxReviews Its actually not available in object/demo video mode.
@@BleepingWorld ok, yea I've never used that mode at all on this camera. I generally have it in manual. That's good to know.
Having trouble finding these options...perhaps I need to turn off auto settings??? if so im not sure how to find it please help
Get on movie recording mode and set it to manual exposure

Sharpen nunca lo pongas en 0, se ve horrible la imagen, debe ir en 1, en 1 la nitidez es perfecta.
