You are the only one that has taken the time to go through each item on the camera. Thanks for doing this.
No problem!
gracias!!!
This is the best video I've ever watched! So helpful!!! Thank you! I appreciate your detailed instructions!!!
Thank you very much, this means a lot to me!
Great explanation! I've been considering buying this camcorder for a while but had many questions so, thank you for this because you answered everything I wanted to know about this camcorder.
You are very welcome, and I am glad it was helpful!
I don't even have a camcorder but you have taught me so much! Man you really know your stuff!
Thank you very much, I appreciate you kind words.
Can’t express how grateful I am. thank you for this video.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much this video offered a complete understanding of the camera settings. I will save this video for reference.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for the amazing effort and time you put in this instructional video.
You're very welcome!
Hi Sir! Its great that you made a very detail instruction video! Thank you very much! I am so excited waiting for yor new video on New Canon VIXIA HF G70.
You are very welcome!
Wow! This is so good. Thank you for taking the time to show us what all these settings mean and why you would want to use them. Canon should pay you!
You are very welcome, and Canon did you hear that ;-)
Camcorders are good and truly tested and tried since the early 80s. They just work. I got rid of my digital cameras and went back to camcorders. I missed alot of good shots and life moments because I was using an iphone (over hyped and don't work) and interchangeable cameras such as GH5. Camcorders just work. Try it out!
Yes I agree, they are much more reliable and easy to operate compared to using a DSLR as a video camera. However when it comes to quality unless you buy a really expensive camcorder the DSLR or Mirroless cameras will have much better video quality.
Great teaching, thank you so very much. I’ve learnt a lot keep it up!
You are very welcome
Je trouve très généreux de votre part d'avoir pris le temps de nous expliquer en détails cette caméra. Merci beaucoup.
Merci pour votre gentillesse!
Very deep review from A to Z ,Fantastic thanks Good job.

You are exelent explainer, thank you from Croatia.
You are very welcome!
Thank u so much for this video its the most detailed one ive seen on this camera…I would like for you to do a video on whats the best setting for youtubers with the shutter, gain, iris…also how can you get that death of field on this camera or can you? Thank you for a great video!
No problem,
The camera settings for RUclipsrs depend on the type of video you are shooting, and for each type the settings must be different. For example, if your video has too much motion such as sporting events you will need to choose higher shutter speeds. If your video has low light situation, you need to lower the shutter speed and increase the ISO. This camera is good for getting depth of field, but it is not very good for low depth of field to get blurred ( out of focus ) background. For that you will need a DSLR or Mirrorless camera using a 50mm lens.
this is so good, great review.
Thanks so much!
Mic is only available when you PLUG into mic port. The right and left channels can be split to use onboard mics and external mic. Or you can use both channels for external mic only.
I appreciate your feedback, thank you
One of the best camera tutorials I have seen. Very well done sir.
Wow, that is really nice of you, I appreciate your kindness.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I have been attempting to buy a Hf g60 but with no luck. I’m in Australia and they are impossible to find here at the moment.
I’m thinking of getting a canon AX50 instead. Any thoughts on that camera? Have you made another excellent review of the AX50?
@@stoopsolo1479 You can find it on US eBay and have it shipped to you in Australia. I don't have any reviews on the AX50 but here is a comparison chart for the two www.bhphotovideo.com/c/compare/Canon_G50_vs_Canon_HF_G60_vs_Canon_XA50_vs_Canon_XA40/BHitems/1451710-REG_1470023-REG_1470017-REG_1470022-REG

Thank you for rhis excellent and thorough video Good Sir🙏🏽
Very welcome
Rec command is used for you to press record button on your g60 and it puts atomos recorder into record. Press record again and the camcorder shuts off atomos recorder. I use this function on my canon g30 with ninja2 atomos recorder.
Thanks for the valuable info.
Thank you for replying to my question but I need to follow up with another question. I understand using a clip-on mic would make all the difference but I am videoing outdoor live hunting and much of it right now is turkey hunting so a shotgun mic is kind of important to pick up the sounds being made by animals but there is still a hissing noise in the specialty noise on the zoom even after changing the gain but it is much better when switched over to manual for some reason? Any other suggestions knowing that I need to use a shotgun mic?
I used to have a Sennheiser 502047 MKE400 which I loved for recording the sounds of birds under tall trees but lost it. If you really want to capture sounds from longer distance with minimal unwanted side noises you need to use a long shotgun mic, but you also need to use a headphone to monitor it real time. Because long distance shotgun mics are extremely directional meaning slightest change of mic angle will lose the target of sound pickup. I am not a mic expert so I recommend you watch this guys advise linked here ruclips.net/video/jM4Nt-MVovg/видео.html
Very good explanation, thanks a lot, salutation from the chilean patagonia
Thank You!
Smpte arib are used to calibrate an external monitor with color bars so the monitor matches the monitor on canon g60.
Thanks!
This camcorder can output 422 10bit 1080p at 60fps or 29.97 or 23.976. An atomos recorder can record over billion colors with this canon g60. 4k only outputs 422 8bit. It puts it in psf wrapper and atomos recorder can extract each signal of 60 30 and 24 fps. The monitor will show 1080 60i but the signal will be embedded in the output. Canon uses this unique psf for hdmi. Also adhere to ntsc broadcast standard for compatible studio monitors.
Can the Atomos Recorder compress the video file to MP4?
Because I am using this recorder here and it can't compress ruclips.net/video/eKNV8x9VR4g/видео.html
So I did purchase this camera and after viewing my recordings outside with a cannon shotgun mic attached there is a lot of background noise and every time I use the zoom I can also hear it and it is actually very loud in the recording? How can I fix this? I did see another video that said if I put the sound in M it will automatically reduce the gain and it did and I set it to #33 instead of the auto setting of #66. Do you believe it will help? But what about the power zoom sound? Thank you sir!
I tried every possible Mic settings and was not impressed with the noise cancellation technology at all. No matter what I would get some annoying background noise. So I decided to use a wireless mic lie this one ruclips.net/video/j5l91ohoiu0/видео.html
the HF-G range are very under rated, i use a HF-G30 and the mechanical stabilisation is great but paired with a DJI Ronin S looks amazing, with it's wide angle lense and Canons Cinematic mode you get great footage that can be compaired to Cine camera, only let down is i can only shoot 1080, but this paired with a Gimbal would be the easiest press record and go rig for anyone
Thanks for the valuable tip!
Thank you very much for this tutorial. The best I have seen. Even on my older HF G40 I learned a lot of all of the settings and things I did not know for what they were used for. Best tutorial ever.
Only one question. Does the HF G60 have a REMOTE port? My HF G40 have one which I did not see on the HF G60.
Thanks for your compliments, and I am glad it was helpful to you. About your Canon VIXIA HF G60 remote capability the answer is " YES". It does have an infrared remote receiving port and you can use the WL-D89 remote with it. The remote is cheap like $10 to $15 in eBay, but I am surprised that they didn't include that in the box.
The Best. I had to subscribe to your Channel
@@selfwilliams1639 Thank You!
do you know if there is a way to change the default recording time for the clips that the g60 makes down to 10 minutes instead of 30 or 40 or whatever they are now? I'd like it to record shorter clips is that possible?
Yes, you can change the clip quality, duration, and file size, see page 96 of this manual gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0300035051/04/vixiahfg60-im4-en.pdf
Super video ! Merci bien.
Thank You!
Great video, thank you. I can´t use the Canon Sm-v1 5.1 in HF G60. In my HFG40 it works.
Will you know something about this.
I have personally not tried it as I only used Wireless mics with my VIXIA Camcorder, however
I did some research and got two conflicting answers.
One says it will work with a minor firmware update linked here

The other says it is not compatible with it linked here

Looking to purchase a camcorder for my podcast and been researching for weeks. Narrowed it down to 4 and was hoping to get some advice on a final decision. I narrowed it down to the Sony FDR-AX53, Panasonic HC-VXF1, Canon HF-G50 and Canon HF-G60. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My personal preference would be the Canon HF-G60 because of its bigger sensor. I used to have the Sony FDR-AX53 and I wasn't too impressed with it, it kind of exaggerated the colors and they don't look as natural as the Canon. The Panasonic HC-VXF1 is good, but in my opinion, the only Panasonic that beats the Canon HF-G60 is the Panasonic HC-X1 and they are very expensive. I do admit that there are some extra bells and whistles on the Canon HF-G60 that you will never use in a Podcast setup, such as a mechanical image stabilizer, ND Filters, etc. however the image quality is very good for the price.
Hey buddy have you ever dropped yours? Mine fell off the tripod and hit the ground hard (landed on my toe- ouch!) and now the image is blurred. Out of focus. What do u think happened?? Thanks.
Yes I did drop mine on soft grass outdoors, but it still worked fine. I believe on yours one of the internal optical lenses, or image stabilization mechanism is off alignment. I think it needs to be taken apart by a Canon's authorized repair facility to be put back in place.
Hi ! Last year I purchased a F G50 (the menu system appears to be the same, the main difference in the cameras is the cost as a result of a greater chip size in the G60) and used it without really getting to understand the camera.
In preparation for this year’s use I am going though setting up and operating the camera more professionally. The video was excellent in tutoring the use of camera functions and gave me a greater insight to the details of the menu systems and their capabilities. Thanks again.
At the end of the video you made a comment regarding the length of the video being longer than you wanted. Maybe splitting the unboxing / review from the tutorial elements would assist with this as they are two completely different subjects. The comment is meant in a constructive way so please don't take it as a criticism
Thank you, I love constructive criticism, it shows the viewer cares about my channel's improvement. So I appreciate that you took the time to address this issue.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 My Pleasure!! I hope it helps
Hey buddy for best low light results when shooting at night with least noise, what manual settings do you suggest??? THanks.
Actually that depends on the type of scene you are shooting. For example if it is a rapidly changing or moving objects you can't lower the shutter speed or else you will have motion blur. So in that case you have to rely on ISO increase. If the scene is more like still with little motion then I recommend lower shutter speed and at standard ISO. So it is a lose lose situation because you will either have ISO noise or motion blur. However with a large sensor that this camera has there is little ISO noise so I would strictly focus on motion blur reduction.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Do you see banding noise during low light night videos?? Its like a faint vertical grille structure in the noise?
@@MaheshWalatara I don't see any vertical noise but I do see some serious snowy noise I am gonna up load a sample clip later today so you can see what I am talking about.
@@MaheshWalatara Here is the night footage with massive video noise shot with my new Canon VIXIA HF G60. You can skip the intro jump to like 2:30
ruclips.net/video/kr1aIPazZOo/видео.html
Do you lose AF when in Manual mode? I'm trying to set the shutter speed to 1/60 because of horrible judder when slow panning in 4k30. Every time I switch to "M" my AF stops working.
You will have the option to leave on ON or OFF, see page 47 and up in this manual gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0300035051/04/vixiahfg60-im4-en.pdf
Does this camcorder have a infrared option for filming in the dark?
The cameras that have night vision actually have an infrared light that illuminates a completely dark room with a light spectrum invisible to humans, but enough for the camera sensor to record monochrome video with it. This camera does not have any infrared illuminating LED. So in a completely dark room you get nothing it will be pitch black. However the large and super sensitive sensor on this camera gives you a decent video footage even with one candle light in an average room.
how is the over all video compared to that of the g50?
It's much better here are two samples

Only one question! I have the atem mini pro and when I connect this camera with atem, atem cannot read it! I have tried the "hdmi max resolution" with the "hdmi scan mode" of this camera to be compatible with atem but the problem remains! Do you know anything about that? I would appreciate your help! Thank you in advance!
No problem, so about your Blackmagic Atim mini you need to set the camera HDMI output to 1920x1080, the Atem mini cannot handle 4K input unless you have the 4K version like this one www.ebay.com/itm/194771081746

@@kostaskotsos8378 Try two things, first remove any USB cable and go from ATEM's HDMI output to see if you get an image from the HDMI inputs. Second, if that doesn't work try a Firmware update on your Atem mini
Can you switch between pal and ntsc with canon vixia hf g60? Or are the camcorder stuck in one region? Regards

I'm another G20 owner looking to upgrade. That small screen is a very BIG disappointment. Do you know if the G60 would support an on-camera monitor? Thanks!

@@Steelrailbearing No problem :-)
Great overview! The G60 is more complicated than I had imagined. Will be filming moving wildlife in the field with an external mic. for distant sounds. Any suggestions on a mic for elk bugling? Any suggestions at all.
I recommend a parabolic microphone like this one ruclips.net/video/QYnMidUIQlg/видео.html
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Great suggestion, but was looking for a shotgun directional mic that could be mounted on the camera itself. I will be walking/climbing. maybe in a tree. I shot a lot of 35mm in it's day, and this will be my first camcorder experience.
@@georgeclark6629 For a good shot Gun I recommend Deity D3 Pro, to catch the full range of frequencies.
Yes I like the Deity D3 Pro too, it is not bad for the price.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Do you think it would be good at picking up loud wildlife sounds 200yds away such as an elk
bugling or a turkey gobbling
I want absolutel crystal clear video detail and color would I be sacrificing that if I went with the G50 ? over the G60 ???
The G50 has a smaller sensor, so you get poor performance in low light or night shooting. I recommend paying a little more and getting the G60 if possible. If not even the G50 is a great camera.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 oh okay I see thanks for the feedback I appreciate it.
how long does the battery last? if I may ask
The answer depends on the battery type you buy. Canon sells different capacity batteries some extend out further because of which the viewfinder is extendable. The one I Have is Canon BP-828 and it gives me 4 to 5 Hours of continuous recording. However the stock battery which comes with the camera will give you only 2 hours of recording if that.
Are there any differences between the G60 and the G50?
The most important difference is the Sensor size but here are more differences
www.google.com/search?q=canon+vixia+g50+vs+g60&pcmp=f
The €649.99 more for the HF G60 is then well worth it. I want a camera with better autofocus for my RUclips channel
properties. Panasonic Lumix only makes trouble. I hope that I will have more fun with the HF G60. Only unfortunately long delivery time in Germany.
Yes, it is well worth the extra cost. I love my camera and here is some sample footage from this camera ruclips.net/video/QNzz2VCbjFM/видео.html
Hello! Need help! There was a violation of the fastener of the focal lens. This thing scratched the rest of the lenses, there is no sense in restoring. The issue can be solved only by replacing the lens. Please tell me if there is a lens for Canon Legria HF G 60 on sale in your country?
I haven't seen any one selling the lens separately, I think you can only get it from a Canon Authorized dealer.

Thanks for uploading your video - I've learnt a great deal from it. Just one question if I may; can you fit a filter to the lens (say, like a UV) and then be able to refit the supplied lens hood? >Cheers
No problem, and yes you can. The lens hood sits on the outer side of the lens outer ring, and the filter screws in to the inner side. So they will not interfere with each other as long as you use the correct type of filter that will not stick too high from lens outer mounting ring.
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Thank you very much for your reply - I asked because with offerings from Panasonic and Sony (when they sometimes supplied lens hoods) it was an either/or affair i.e. You couldn't refit their lens hoods if a filter had been screwed on to their lenses - bonkers!

How do you set the ISO?
Good question, it dons't have that setting. I don't know why Canon decided not to make it changeable but I found this on a forum which might find helpful www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-xf-series-4k-hd-camcorders/531355-no-iso-known-xf300.html
This would be a great camera if it was not for the flip screen quality. I have the Canon G40, G30 and I was going to upgrade to the G60, but Canon what did you guys do? First of all my Canon G40 has a oled flip screen 3.5 inch and the G60 has a 3 inch tf screen. Just the image that you see on the G60 Flip screen is awfull its like a downgrade in that part. The G40 Screen you Can View in any angle and on G60 you have to look at it straight to see somewhat somewhat some good colors, but its not nearly as good as the G40 or the G30 Screen. The G40 screen is more comparable to the Gx10 and the XF400. The battery life is the same as the g40, I was going to keep the G60 if it was not for the flip screen. I'll just have to wait till Canon comes with new Camcorders. The GX10 and XF400 are great camcorders but the battery life is not good. The G40 and G60 can record around 230 minutes on the bigger battery and the GX10, XF400 can record 130 to 145 on the same battery size. I do long events so battery life is very important to me
I agree with you, the screen on this model is definitely a downgrade compared to it's predecessors.
Unfortunately this camcorder is impossible to get , no one that I’ve contacted has it in stock , anyway know when it will be back in Europe.

Hi nice video the Canon G60 has a 1 inch sensor its not Full Frame.
Thanks for the info!
@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 I have a question on the Canon G60 and was wondering if you can check on yours. I have the Canon G40 which I use to record events including weddings. I like the G40, but my only issue on it is that I cannot record on two sd cards at the same time in 1080 60p just in lower resolution. I already ordered the Canon gx10 that camera can record on both in the maximum resolution. The only thing that i didnt check before ordering was the battery, I can record 230 minutes with one battery on the G40 and thats what I need. I was reading the Gx10 is way less, if thats the case I'll have to return it. Could you please check on your G60 if you can record on both sd cards one as backup 1080 60p mp4? If its posible I'll just return the Gx10 and get the G60. I dont need 4k becuase I record events and its 4 to 7 hours final edits for cuatomer and 4k would be to large files.

what means " full frame" with a 1inch sensor?
Greetings, if you compare it to a 35mm camera a full frame sensor would be approximately 1.7" diagonally. However in digital cameras they go by measure the sensor size by inches, where 1" inch sensor is the standard. Smaller sensor will be 1/2 inches, 1/1.2 inches etc.

@@TECHNOLOGYTIPS101 Is there a way to reduce the 4K recording bitrate from 150 Mbps to lower??
@@MaheshWalatara Unfortunately I couldn't find that option in there. The only way to drop the Mbps is to lower the resolution down to 1080P. I think the reason why it doesn't do that is that you would need a video re-scaling processor to compress the video down to lower bit rate. Having such a circuit requires more power, which will be generating more heat, Higher Battery consumption and the possibilities of frames dropping. So you will need to do that post production in Final Cut or Adobe Premier.
