Wow thank you so much, it gives me so much joy to hear comments like this! We’ve all been there and learned from our mistakes, it happens. If you have any requests please let me know!
Thank you - loving your M50 explanation videos. I purchased an M50 M2 about 8-9 months ago for doing 'talking head' videos with the intention to start a youtube channel and glad to say I have finally found videos that go step-by-step and make a lot of sense! Will continue to look through your helpful videos. I have a standard kit lens 15-45mm and brought an additional wide-angle lens 11-22mm which I was told was good for what I hope to do. Tonight I adjusted the auto settings for the first time and already notice a huge difference - exciting!
You are very welcome and I'm glad you found this video useful! Great to hear about you starting your YT journey. The M50 is a great choice for YT videos, that's what I started with. Appreciate the kind words and feel to let me know if any other questions arise, either on the M50 or even RUclips stuff, I'm always down to talk YT.
Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback, I’m glad to hear that it was helpful for you! Please feel free to suggest anything else you want to learn on the M50. 👍🏼
@@MonzonMedia you are most welcome. I havnt still gotten full hang of the camera. But i am still getting to know the camera and if there is anything else I will definitely drop a message here.
Awesome video!! Out of the 1000's of photo videos I've watched yours are the ones that are the easiest to understand. I love that you show examples of what happens when you change the settings. Big like!!
Wow this is such a great comment and made my day. I’m happy to hear that especially from you! Thanks for coming by to visit and I truly appreciate the support!
Thanks, this video cleared up a number of things, peaking ( I had no idea whatsoever what peaking was), exposure meter. How did you set the m50 to make the adjustments you made in the video? Did you use the M for video to do that? I saw your other two vids you recc. and all helped in many ways.
thank you very much for your video you have a new subscriber All the videos that I have recorded with the M50 have gone wrong, while I am learning. Today I have learned something new thanks to you I will try with the parameters you have indicated, since I have always uploaded the iso. I have always recorded with the lens in 15mm, do you think that increasing to 23mm will help reduce graininess?
Amazing thank you for the support! Actually if you increase the focal length you will lose more light so I'd leave it at 15mm if you've been doing it that way. If your image is still grainy chances are you still need more light. Sure you can increase ISO to compensate but it introduces grain and artifacts, more light is always better than increasing ISO if possible. Do you have a sample video to show me? Feel free to message me on my website through the contact form if you need more help.
You are very welcome! Auto is fine when in good lighting conditions but it's always best to have full control in manual. It may take some time to get the hang of it but you will get there! The M50's low light performance isn't the greatest so you can help avoid it by adding more light to a scene if possible or getting a lens that can do something like F1.8. That way you can use lower ISO however adding light is always a safe bet!
Thank u for breaking this down soooo clearly. I learned alot and subscribed. My videos are coming out very orange. So I'm gona implement what u said and hopefully that will help.
I'm so glad this helped! Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions. Sounds like a white balance issue so if you do your settings manually you can set your temperature accordingly. If you are shooting in auto, the white balance will shift if the lighting changes.
Thank you Monzon media I've made all the necessary changes now on my M50. Can't wait to see how my next video turns out. Great video, well explained and simple to follow.
My pleasure friend! Glad to hear it! Remember though, it takes practice and experimentation for it to really sink in and know what settings work for you. It may not be perfect the first time but just be patient and keep working at it. Msg me anytime if you have more questions, I’ll be posting more content on this topic!
Glad to hear it's useful but keep using your camera! 😆 Have you been using your phone instead? It does take some time to get used to the settings but like anything else, it takes practice, time and patience.
Great video. Is the light meter available when shooting remotely? I can't use the screen on the camera because I have it so close to the window it thinks the window is my face and disables the lcd
Thanks I appreciate the kind words. It is available if you are using the Canon Camera App, or the EOS3 Utility software on a desktop or laptop. I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by when it is close to to the window it disables the LCD? You can go into the display settings to disable the view finder so that the LCD only is used for viewing and then you can turn off the power settings for the LCD or change the time to keep it on while you shoot. In the menu wrench icon, page4, display settings and also in page2 under power saving. Here's a video I did on the viewfinder settings ruclips.net/video/U6-TuBRy-XA/видео.html
You're so welcome! It takes time for it click, just keep experimenting and playing around with your settings, it's the best way to learn! Thanks for checking out this series, it was long over due!
Nice video, Ermin! Like I said on your last video, where were you when I first started??! Excellent breakdown and very helpful. If folks just get these aspects down, their videos will be so much better.
Cheers bud! We’ve all been there. Just hoping others won’t have to have a headache over this stuff as it can get overwhelming. Appreciate the support and kind words bro!
so i've gotten my m50 mkii as a very first camera and a shutter numbers doesn't work as here in the video 4:01, like when i move them from down to up nothing changes on the screen speaking of light. Is there a way to change it or is something wrong?
At 7:00 in you have a defined horizontal line going all the width of your image showing a brighter exposure then the top half of the video? Please explain?
Hey cowboy6591, great question. It's a screen recording of the LCD screen on the M50 cropped on top of my talking head footage. Basically I hook it up with HDMI to my computer so I can record the LCD and menu. That's why the exposure looks a bit different. I could've adjusted it to look the same but I wanted to keep the separation. Hope that helps?
Thank you my friend and yes that is coming soon! I will break down aperture, shutter speed and ISO individually and then do another video of balancing all settings. Stay tuned for that!
Hello, i have a Canon M50, but not sure why but I don't have the light meter available at the bottom of my screen. It only shows when I put on Auto ISO, but even then, the light meter only stays at zero. It doesn't change as the lighting around me changes. At 3:02 in your video (at 1600 iso) there is a little bar under the light meter that moves left to right. I don't even have a light meter showing let alone the little bar under the light meter. I'm currently at the camera mode (at least with the camera icon) on the dial (not M, AV, TV or P). Not sure if that makes any difference. Help!
I'm using manual video mode and this is for video. I have another video here to walk you through the process to set up for manual ruclips.net/video/rvUCiJgHenw/видео.htmlsi=4nTz4a9ap0EvjOTa Hope that helps.
Yes, unfortunately I’m not home to check at the moment but I’m pretty sure If you press the info button a few times it will change the display info on the lcd where your can have the meter on all the time.
When im in movie mode for a 4k video the scene is completely dark but not pitch black. I see no options to adjust the contrast scale on my screen. Do you know why ?
@@vanityrose3910 Sounds odd that it's completely dark but I can't help you without knowing your camera settings, what lens you are using, what mode you are shooting etc.
@@MonzonMedia Hello! I finally figured it out that the ISO needed to be set to "Auto". That then allowed me to adjust the lighting's contrast scale up to +3
@@vanityrose3910 I'm glad you figured it out! Just an FYI you can set it to a fixed ISO but with Auto it will adjust according to your lighting conditions.
Well for you bud I totally understand, you gotta get your kit and yourself in the shot 👍😊. Your only other option with limited space is a wider lens, something like the 10-18mm.
You deserve more subs. Best tutorial for adjusting manual exposure. As a beginner filmmaker, setting auto exposure ruined one of my videos.
Wow thank you so much, it gives me so much joy to hear comments like this! We’ve all been there and learned from our mistakes, it happens. If you have any requests please let me know!
Great tutorial. Thanks! Been making videos for almost two years without learning the camera... Cheers!
