So that depends. First of all when you think of focus you have to think of it as a range or a plane. Your camera can only have a certain range of your frame in focus. So it could be something like from 5ft to 10ft is your area of focus. So if you want both subjects in focus while shooting video you need to make sure they're on the same focus plane. They should be about the same distance from themselves to the camera. Also on top of that the aperture is what controls how wide your focus plane is. A higher number like f/11 or f/16 is going to give you a wider range but you'll lose depth because the background won't be blurry. Whereas numbers like f/4 or f/2.8 will give you less of a focus plane but more depth because your background will look a bit more blurry. If I were you I would run some tests and try to figure out what aperture works for you best and make sure you can either manually focus and get them clear and sharp or throw it in autofocus with face detection turned on. The only issue with putting it in autofocus is that the camera might search for focus every now and then if it loses the face it's locked on. I know this is a lot of info but hopefully it helps!
Just found your channel and this was perfect timing. I've been using the 6D MK II for a few years and have stayed away from video because it was soooo sub par but I also came to realize it had to do with my lens. I have a short video shoot coming up so I will just rent out a better lens!
That's awesome to hear! Glad I was able to help you out. It was my main goal to show that you can still get amazing video with this camera a lot of people hated on. Good luck on your shoot!
Same I have the camera and never us it for video, only stills. I just rather use the 4K on my M6. I have the 24 l and 16 l lens. But lately I am starting to consider using is it. I'm like should I use it or sell it and buy the R7 or FX30.
Exporting from my SD card to my CPU I just use the basic file explorer on Windows. For exporting from premiere I just use the RUclips preset. Hope that helps!
hey, I have a question: how can I get my shutter speed lower than 1/25 when filming in 24fps? I'm doing this mainly for a camera effect which I can do on my SL3 but not 6D MK II any help?
To be honest. I don't think there is a way to do this. If there is it's gotta be hidden in the menu system somewhere, but I've only been able to go down to 1/25 as well. Sorry wish I could have been of more help.
You can but you'd be ignoring the 180 degree shutter speed rule which will take away motion blur making movements look a bit more stiff and unrealistic. Also if you use a high aperture then you'll lose the ability to blur out the background.
Hey Jake, would you recommend using the neutral color setting or installing a Cinestyle lut? I am fairly new to color work and am unsure of exactly how "flat" I need to go. Thanks!
I have the Cinestyle installed on mine and I think it helps way more than the neutral color setting. However I think if you know what you're doing and can nail exposure then the Neutral setting will probably be fine. Hope that helps!
@@JakeBorowski15 Thanks a ton! Your video has been incredibly helpful and I love your vibe. Keep it up and let me know if you're ever in the market for someone to help edit your videos!
What do you think of the footage from the Canon 6D Mark II?
How do I shoot and get both subjects in full focus when doing video. Especially when they sitting next to each other and talking

@@JakeBorowski15 awesome thank you. This really helps
U helped me alot
Thanks
Buh can u make a content on lens
Would like to know more about that
I actually plan on dropping a few videos about it so stay tuned!

@@JakeBorowski15 thanks man! It was refreshing to see some good video footage on it and good job on the video. subbed btw! 👌
@@brianrodriguez6897 yeah there's not a lot of good footage out there shot on this camera. Thanks for the sub!

@@AkaBull making a decision on a camera nowadays is super hard because I feel like a lot of them are very close as far as specs and features
does it matter which sd card you use?
I was wondering if I can record longer than 30 min with the Canon 6D mark II? Thank you for your answer
Unfortunately it has a 30 minute record limit. So once you've recorded for 30 minutes it will automatically stop the recording
What firmware are you using. Some of these settings are not on my camera running 1.1.1
Can 6D Mark I do the same? I don’t like the autofocus
The 18-35 1.8 is designed for APS-C sensors, the 6D mkII is a full frame sensor.
Yes it is, but you can still mount it to full frame cameras and from what I've heard, the vignetting isn't too bad.
@@JakeBorowski15 You can mount EF lens on APS-C camera but can't mount EF-S lens on full frame camera.Though I am not sure about Sigma lens.
@@JakeBorowski15 you can mount but you see the rounded corners of the lens, it’s like looking through a periscope

@@JakeBorowski15 Oh, that makes sense well thanks for the help! Highly appriciate it!
@@brujodeathmetal no problem!
can I use an external recorder to record 4K ?
I'm not sure. I've never tried that but I'm assuming probably not
thank you Jake
You're welcome!
Amazing video but you missed a minor yet important detail this camera have inbuilt stabilization feature that helps a lot
Good video. Thanks a lot. Subscribed and like.
Glad I could help!
Real good video, you just got a new subscriber👍. I’m picking up mine tomorrow evening, upgrading from 80d
Thank you! Happy to help and thanks for subscribing!
One question ... instead of using nd filter can u increase sutter speed to lower the exposure while using high aperature ?
You can but you'd be ignoring the 180 degree shutter speed rule which will take away motion blur making movements look a bit more stiff and unrealistic. Also if you use a high aperture then you'll lose the ability to blur out the background.
Very clear video, thanks!

Best lens
It is pretty good
nice vídeo, really helpful
Thank you! Glad I could help!
I got the same set up but never sharp videos :(
You copied the settings and everything?
Full video upload camera settings video & photo 6d Mark ‼️
I will put that video on the list
@@JakeBorowski15 share plz
and video not parfact shoot wahy
Be carefum with the Sigma 24-70mm 2.8, because it is a DC lens which is NOT for the fullframe body, which the 6d mk II is! Buy a Sigma DG lens!
The one reviewed in this video is a DG
IPB? no ALL-I in this camera??
Unfortunately no. I think it'll shoot ALL-I for time lapses but not normal video
Sorry but that wasn’t really good video, not top notch at all and just being honest
Thanks for your feedback bud
