When you havent bought the camera yet but you're already watching the vid on how to operate it
Camille Mondero then I buy the camera still haven’t used it and watching the videos again lol
Same!
I am watching it before receiving the cam:)
Thank you.
Camera 📷 on it’s way too!
If you have an EOS M50 this is going to help you get a good starting point with setting it up. This is how I set mine up and hope it helps you out.
Jared Polin do you think this is better for video than a D850? If so why
Thank you
no, how could it be better for video?
I guess because it seems that it design more for video and I was also looking for a reason to give my wife to buy a new camera for my Canon lenses from when I jumped ship to Nikon
Plssss do a user guide for canon 1500d... I only understand the guide when you explain it. Plss do itt
Depends on what kind of video. for Vlogging and AF yes its much better. For higher quality cinematics, the D850 is better.
thank you for this big help , I just get the canon M50 in yesterday on march 2023, im not a photographer and low knowledge on cameras and this video you share was 200% helpful.. I will keep following you and looking for get your curses
This was a lifesaver. Just bought an M50 last week and was fumbling around with some of the settings. I had resigned myself to having to read through the manual tonight. Fortunately your video allowed me to continue my streak of never having read a user manual ever. Thumbs up!
Thank you SO much for making a simple video going through all the menu options. I can't tell you how many I watched that had random unnecessary B-roll, and how many didn't explain how to actually get to the menu option and how to change it. You're the best!
Watched this twice now and it's really helped. So thank you for doing this. I am an older guy in the UK and have downsized to the M50, from a 70D due to starting to have issues with the weight you get with a DSLR.
Great job, you are a star! Tim
This is my first camera ever. I've had it for months, taking it with me but barely using it because I don't know how. In half an hour this video taught me everything. You are a god send.
Goodness I have had my camera for 3 months now just playing around with it and now it is finally set up thanks to you!
Thank youuu!! This was very helpful! I just bought my M50 and it's my first "real" camera ever, so I'm just learning and this video helped me a lot to get started. :)
@@JersDraws bruh
Would you say its a decent landscape camera ?
@@hugocabrera3315 for me it's good. But I'm just an amateur taking pics for fun. For pro use I can't really say. :)
Thank you! I'm new to cameras and tech illiterate. You are so helpful! I will be watching this several times!
The absolute best tutorial! I just received my M50 as a gift (first time using a real camera) I've always used my phone. I was completely clueless and most videos just rushed through the set up which was not useful. This helped me so much Jared! Thank you so much!!
These are Gold, When I bought my first camera I came here. An I just bought my second and I'm back again, Thanks brother keep the vids coming. From The Bahamas 🇧🇸
That was pretty good. I think that you should have also mentioned/shown the following:
1. Done a run through setting up the 'phone app..
2. It would be good for people to know that, instead of the 'phone app, there is a remote that can do most of what the app does - the BR-E1.
3. Showing how the Focus Peaking works would have taken a couple of seconds, so I would vote for that to be included if this phone is updated, and you review the update.
4. Cannot remember if you mentioned that the slow-motion (780p) mode is silent, but it is.
5. And the M50's stabilization is terrible, both 'regular' and digital (I love the camera, though).
6. Plugging a mic. in to the jack on the camera body can obscure part of the flip-screen (if turned toward the person in front of the camera), because of the positioning of the mic. jack.
7. You missed mentioning and showing audio levels, and that the audio levels are (stupidly) not visible on the flip screen when it is turned toward the person in front of the camera. Combined with the fact that there is no headphone socket, this means that the only way to monitor audio levels is when the screen is folded onto the back of the camera and is being looked at by someone behind the camera.
8. Has a timelapse function.
9. The RAW format is a special 'compressed' RAW (C-RAW).
10. In addition to the very few M-mount lenses, if used with an adapter (and the Meike is much cheaper and works exactly the same as Canon's own adapter), lenses from the following Canon series can be used EF, EF-M, E-FS, as well as quite a few third-party lenses.
Just a quick reply to your #9 comment. The camera offers you the choice of traditional RAW or C-RAW. So you're partially correct. If for some reason you prefer saving larger RAW files on your SD card, you can choose to do so. By the way, there's a good analysis of the new C-RAW format here, for those who are interested... www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Cameras/Canon-C-RAW-Image-File-Format.aspx
3. this is a phone? im confused
Very useful video
huh I have the iphone, where is the phone app? I have the iphone 11pro max and m50mark2, have not been able to successfully get my photos on iPhone even though I have imported them, nothing shows up when it says open in app
Got mine for only $575 with the kit lens. Glad to have it as my everyday camera. Big thanks for making this video!
Thank you SO MUCH!! I went through 20 or so different vids before I found yours. They all rushed through things assuming that I knew what they were talking about!! Your video was SO HELPFUL!
Fantastic and thorough explanation for the M50. I have had the camera for over a year. I learned more in this video than everything I did in the past year. Thank you so very much. Great and understandable video. I loved it.
Thx for the very informative video, Jared! I wanted to let you know, though, that you CAN use the shutter button for video start/stop if you have your top dial set to video mode. There's an additional option under "button fnc" that wasn't visible in Auto Mode. I was so happy to find this out that I thought I'd let others know about it. Thanks for the hard work on your video here, it helped me a lot.
Just burnt my user manual, helpful video for a newbie to photography. I would like to see your top picks on lenses for the M50.
Thanks a million! I'm a point and shooter that just strayed out of my comfort zone. You make it all look possible with this little Canon. I'll be watching it over and over.
I love your personality and LOL, I have watched this video like 5 times to learn everything about my new canon m50. Thanks for recording this .
man, i cant thank you enough for your time taken for this tutorial. Liked!!!!
Hey Jared, Your tutorial is just what I needed for better understanding of my brand new M50. The manual that comes with the camera sucks, plus I needed a magnifying glass to read it. Thanks for excellent Info.
I just bought it yesterday. and after watching this video..I already master my own camera!!!! Thanks Jared !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Host is engaging and soooo much better than the user's manual.
Hey Jared. Thank you for making this video. You just saved me a ton of time in learning about my new camera. Also appreciated your engaging approach (along with your depth of knowledge) - I mean you kept my attention for 40 minutes. I must really want to know about this camera.
I am getting my M50 next week, Thanks for this video its exactly what I need 😁
This is great that we have someone that can make a forty minute video interesting
So true. I lost track of time.
Got my M50 around the time this video hit and found it extremely helpful. I still refer to it on occasion as I become more familiar with using the camera. Excellent video. Thanks Jared.
What a fantastic content! Just bought mine 2 days ago and i love it very much!
The best help by far. Very detailed. Helped me set up my canon m50 easily. Thank youu!
My camera is coming today; so glad I found this video. Just smoked a joint and watched the whole 40min and feel so much more prepared! Great vid!
Just bought this camera! This camera is much higher quality than I thought, takes amazing photos and video! Thanks for the tutorial!
Great timing. I got my M50 about two weeks ago. Went to a fandom convention this weekend, really loved shooting with it. I bought the camera to be a companion and backup to my 80D. Now I am thinking it might be replacement. Biggest headaches of the weekend, short battery life and bouncing the lens adapter between my 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8. The EF-M 22 f2 took the place of the EF-S 24mm f2.8 in my camera bag.
Jared Byer Just leave the lens adapter on the camera and switch lenses normally rather than taking the adapter off and putting it on the lens.
cooloox I would, but the 22mm f2 doesn't use the adapter.
Jared Byer I’m literally debating getting one & main drawback is the lens adapter. How does the 24mm look on the m50 any good? & compared to the 22
Jared Byer i have a 24mm i recently bought & love it
I haven't used the 24 much. I ordered the 22 at the same time as the camera. The wider angle and faster f stop are in my opinion enough of an upgrade to sell the 24 mm and buy a refurb 22.
"There's no Netflix on this camera, although that's a good idea for the future". Ha! I happen to agree with you Jared even though you were being facetious. Wait, were you? LOL
be a genius and create your own
Thanks for doing this so efficiently and respecting my time. My grandson loved your Oscar the Grouch trash button analogy.
I just got this cam, i read the manual, but this is my first camera with lens❤(growing up never thought i would ever be able to afford one🎉)so as excited as I was I started taking pics right from the box and they sucked, because I didnt know what any of the modes and options meant, that video was everything I needed and more❤ i watched it twice while going through the cam, now i can learn some more about photography, thank you, i subbed 💝💕
Thank you for this, I've just bought the M50 and the adapter for my other Canon lenses ☺
Try to find Custom Functions: "Enable shutter without lens" Damn that was burried in there. Under the wrench, then 5, then 3, then scroll through that even. Had to enable that so I could use a manual focus lens that I purchased for my M50.
Jared thank you so much. That's all I can say. You're the best Manual out there.
Just purchased this camera and it arrives next week, this video is super helpful. If those settings are good enough for you then they are definitely good enough for me. Thank you.
16:51 good to know, that if shooting in RAW and in monochrome that the image when imported into the computer will still have the color data, but if shooting in JPEG and monochrome the image when imported into the computer will be black n white no color data. 17:53 I agree to have touch shutter off. 18:10 super cool this camera has touch n drag AF.
BAHAHAHAHHAHAH English option.... which means your not understanding me right now LOL so good!! almost fell off my chair hahahaha
So far, the best video explaining every single detail. I just got the M50 and this helped me to set everything. Thanks
Most helpful. I am giving this camera to my grandson. This will help me walk him through the M50 II. Thank you.
"it's not a relative, i'ts not a family member" haahahaha good a funny to watch tutorial
Great video, but you skipped the timelapse function!
Along with many others
Just got mine as a gift. Your video was super helpful. Thanks, Jared!
same!
Excellent job. I highly recommend this be the first stop of any new M50 owner. Kudos!
How do you rate this M50 against the current 80D, as an APS-C. Or the 6D MK2
The canon EOS M50 is in a special niche, it's a vlogging camera. I don't know, tired of those niches with Canon, one camera does this, one camera does that, but another camera can't do that because the functions exist but they are crippled or limited. I think the price might attract some people, the ones that are still with canon and could not find a lightweight camera to do the same thing that Sony's cameras I guess. I would personally not buy this camera for photography, but more for videos. How is that bitrate compared to the 80D? It seems better IMO. There are many reasons to buy this camera and many other reasons for not buying it ugh. And it's pretty cheap compared to other cameras. Dang it i am going to buy it.
Steven Rix The funny thing is that it's probably better for photography than it is for video.
Probably lol
Me right now
I bought one. It's too bad that the microphone output is on the left side of the flipscreen, because you can't turn the flipscreen 180 degrees; Canon should have put the mic port on the right, but i guess they wanted to save money on the design, since all their motherboards are designed to go on the left. So it's not a problem with the 80D it's high enough to put a mic cable but for the M50 that can be a big issue for audio amateurs.
Steven Rix yea that sucks.. luckily for me i barely do video mostly pics. How are the photos compared to your last camera & have you tried the 4k still photo capture yet
You rock! Just upgraded from my Walmart straight talk iPhone 5 to this m50! And this was by far the best review and guide! Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This videos was so helpful not only was it educational but it was enjoyable to watch. Thank you for being so enthusiastic and fun!
Hey which one would be better for just merely photographs m50 or the d3500
is there ANYWAY way to turn off the blanking of the backscreen if something goes infront of the view finder... i noticed in your video around 3:50, and mine does it too, if you hand goes infront of the view finder to change settings, the screen goes black.. SUPER annoying
Yes you can turn off the automatic Display setting. Here is how you do it:
1. Hit the menu button.
**Note** Make sure you are in Standard mode, not Guided Mode.
2. Head to the yellow wrench icon menu and scroll over to page number 4.
3. Tab down to "Display Settings"
4.Change the "Display Control" from "Auto" to "Manual"
That's it! Now it the screen won't turn off anymore anytime you accidentally move in front of the EV! :)
Jory Holness thank you sir !
My pleasure @BassMoore. This was driving me CRAZY as well! :)
@@MetreonServices thank you!!!
Glad I could help@@JenniferWasylenko :)
We just purchased a Canon M50. This video was extremely helpful in providing insight on setting up the camera. Highly recommended! Thank you Jared.
Another stellar video...great to hear insight from a real photographer and not a Vlogger. Keep it up!!
You’re forgetting to mention that “switch” on the battery cover, is not actually a switch. It’s another door for a cord you put in the camera if you want to connect your camera to the mains power. Try pulling that rubber bit open, then you’ll know what I’m talking about. It on nearly every canon camera, not just the m50.
Stefan - TravelFlow Stefan, I can’t tell you how many ‘reviews’ I’ve read that said it didn’t have that facility, I didn’t understand how you could get a cable into the battery compartment to power the camera and have the door closed so as to access the screw mount for tripod/gimbal. Top man. Thanks a million
Oh, wow, oh wow, since I usually film my tutorials at home you have opened my sky of posibilites, thank you so much, Stefan. But how can you switch anything through that hole and what kind of plug does it need to be? Can you please help or give a link , I would love to know
hey @Stefan - TravelFlow - have any links to how to pages on this?
@@theresonlyonelinda Don't wait for the link, search for it and you will find out, as I did. I have that "special battery" now and veery happy to have so
20:33 What the Doctor said to me when I asked why I can't focus.
I died!!!!!!
I FLEW
Super helpful and way better than reading the manual - thanks!
Thank you so much. Your video was just what I needed. Good teacher!!!!
I've tried all night but I can't get my M50 to make phone calls or send messages.
same, been trying to run crysis on it all damn night, to no avail
Just wait until Jeff Bezos gets around to buying Canon. Then you'll be able to text, call, watch Prime Video in the EVF and shop for groceries while shooting video. It will be a real time-saver.
There is no any better channel for photography
Uncaged Hi, i'm a beginner. Should I buy m50 or 800d?
Kkwazzawazzakkwaquikkwalaquaza?'* Zzabolazza what is the type of the photography type
@@vzxsz5325 I am confused between canon m50 and nikon d5600 I need it for photography Which should i buy?
Excellent Guide and clean video. Recently i purchased this camera. I used CanonMK3 for 3 yrs and now selling my cam and pushing myself to mirrorless. M50 is really a serious 2nd camera for pro/ amature.
Best video on how to setup Canon EOS m50. It was soo helpful I watched it multiple times. Thank you very much.
I’m waiting to be disappointed with their FF mirrorless.
VERY INTERESTING YOUR TUTORIAL .. THANKS. i just bought Cannon EOS M50 and was looking to learn how to use it. you helped me a lot, thanks again
Thanks for taking to time to go over each menu item. You saved me tons of time. I'm a recently retired commercial photographer and just got the M50. I really love this camera. I was so pleased with your clip I decided to subscribe. Keep up the good work.
TFS... This is a great beginner video. Thanks so much. I searched YT for days for this type of content. 😁
Just picked up my M50 yesterday and this video has been super informative. Thank you for making it.
Thank you Jared, your video was very informative and what made the 40 minutes like breeze is your sense of humor and yor chill personality. Thanks again!
Great video! I have been shooting with the M50 for 2 weeks and it has been working great!
One of the best run downs and tutorials of this camera up to date! Thanks so much for helping a beginner ❤️
Thanks so much!! As a newbie, your video is most helpful, informative & entertaining.Viewed several times and took notes.
Coolest person with easy teaching method..
Very helpful video..
Thanks
Awesome video!!! So much easier to figure the ins and outs of the camera from this video rather than dulling over the manual.
Brilliant tour of the camera. That probably saved me hours of online reading and trawling through the manual.
I was confused coze they were tons of tutorials but this is the best of all you made easy for me thanks
You are a legend mate, just bought this camera I guess i will visit your channel often
thank you. you really helped me to set up my new baby and understand it a little better. much appreciated.
I will file the manual just in case but that was definitely a better instructional guide. Cheers mate.
Super helpful, I just purchased this camera and did NOT want to dive into that scary, boring manual.
Thank you!
I bought this camera yesterday and this video helped a lot.
Just bought an M50 earlier today. Was screwing around with settings but felt a little lost. The run through in this video was very helpful. It all feels familiar now. Great little camera.
I review some of your videos every once in a while. I really enjoy your work. A lot of time and work. Thank you. Good luck on the new place.
Thank you so much for this. Just bought this camera and it was much better watching your video then reading the user manual.
I just bought the M50, felt this was a good beginner camera. Your video definitely clarified the functions of the camera, most things I knew from playing around with it but there were a few things I had no idea about until I watched this. All in all, good job :) thank you for the assistance.
Super helpful and gave me some chuckles along the way. Will be watching again, I'm sure. Thank you!
I just got an m50. For the VF Settings, I use "display 2", which shrinks it down a bit, because then I can easily see the whole viewfinder image while wearing my glasses.
Unbelievably helpful video, thank you so much for this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just got this camera Sunday and your video was extremely helpful, thank you!
A suggestion for new owners. While setting up the connection to Canon Camera Connect app - do the bluetooth part first. It can then talk to the camera and they agree on wifi password, joining network etc. so you don't have to do any of that manually (as another "how to use M50" video by other youtuber showed).
I have a Motorola Moto X4 which have NFC and the camera has that too but I didn't get it pair just by holding them close together though.
You have no idea how much you helped me.Think was so informative and straight forward.You definately gained a new subscriber.Thank you so much.
A newbie here. Thank you for speaking clearly and taking your time. It's much appreciated.
Thank you so much...Before watching your video I've so much confusion ..but now you solved all my confusion ❤
Thank you so much for this. I may need to watch a few times but it’s fine. Excited about my new gift.
Thank you for this video. I just bought an M50 and I'm a total beginner. I had no idea about locking the lens (I'm using the kit lens) each time when turning the camera off and storing it!
Thank you so very much the video is well detailed, just bought my EOS M50, having difficulty setting it as most of my videos are recipes as times when i shot the video will come out so dark and blurry and my pics too, i noticed that you didn't talk much of the picture settings, but every other aspect was well detailed. I will follow this guide and hope am able to get good quality video's. Thanks I appreciate
Thanks for a very helpful video - now I have to try my settings for myself!!!
Brilliant - thank you Jared! Informative, witty and funny!
Great video just bought the camera for an intro class. This was very helpful
