Thanks again Mitch - excellent settings - Im going to be buying a R6 - your photo and video setting will be my setup to start with - going to be a bit challenging coming from Nikon but Im sure I'll pick it all up. Im starting off with the 35 and 50 RF 1.8 lenses
Great tutorial Mitch! We just upgraded with 2 R6 and love them so far. I would just add a very important note that for users to use a prime lens, you will need to go to the orange menu and go to tab number 4 and change "Release shutter w/o lens" to Enable or On. I think this will help many prime lens users who use the R6. Otherwise, very detailed and educating video!!! Thanks!!!
I noticed while vlogging today that my Canon R6 wouldn’t light my face properly. It would basically choose the background exposure over exposing my face correctly. Do you know why this happens?
Charley Pangus ahh damn I wish I could help you man but I’ve never used auto ISO for vlogging. I’m guessing it doesn’t have a system that adjusts exposure for faces. I usually avoid auto iso and just dial in my settings.
Hey I need your help, I’m having a problem with getting my canon love to work with my Vegas pro 17 editing software I’m getting some kind of HKA10 as the name of the file and I’m not sure what that is but I know I cannot open the Canon log video clips on vegas it crashes it immediately.
It's probably time to upgrade to a better software, or otherwise transcode your files into a more usable codec before importing them into your project.
Great video and very informative. Thank you! In the menu yellow tab > tab 4 > HDMI Resolution there are two options - Auto & 1080p which one to choose if I want to choose if I am using 60 and 30 FPS?
Our experience with the camera is different though - the IBIS is excellent with RF lenses and even gimbal is not necessary. Zebra is useful too. What reviewers almost never mention is that the advertised new file formats such as HEVC H265 cannot be played properly on almost all computers, even those dedicated to graphical work and additional processing is required.
1:44 -- "Some people will tell you that 24p is more 'cinematic' than 25p, and they've lost their g*ddamn minds. It does not make a difference." Funny! Tell us what you REALLY think, as they say. Also, thanks for the helpful video. I just received my R6 today.
Such a wonderful and helpful video 🙌🏼 QUESTION 1: How do I my personal video 'presets' so i.e. I can choose between 25, 50 and 100 fps with premed matching shutter speeds (I know some do this to be able to change quickly)? QUESTION 2: Might sound silly, but I don't see where I manually change shutter speed, etc. (I have set the Movie manual exp. you mention at 0:56) All the dials just change expose compensation...🤔 I have set eye custom dials and buttons like yours. QUESTION 3: At 11:06: How do you change the filename ? I have changed my User setting1 to "R6_ _" (and saved) but it doesn't the File Name like to does on yours🤔 Thanks a lot in advance 🙏🏻
Hmm anybody know what type of cpu needed to edit canon r6 log footages without proxy? Canon told me my computer spec enought for this codec, but no. It isnt. I ask them for any recommended spec for editing but they dont know. So any advice? :D
Nice video bro! I have 2 questions. 1- How does the 1080p 120fps of the R6 compares to the 1080p 60fps of the R? Quality wise. 2- When shooting 4k 60fps with the Sigma 18-38 and enabling Movie Crop, what modes can I shoot ? Because my R for instance, I can only shoot 4k and 1080p (not 60fps) , and my RP I can only shoot 4k. Thanks !
Do those changes only effect the video mode. Just asking because my girlfriend will be super mad if I change anything in her picture/photography settings or shortcut buttons
Best critical honest video ever i have seen on RUclips about canon R6 video setting, man. a quick question.just wondered why you passed HDR video. based on my experience HDR PQ and CLogs are not the best HDR options on R6. however we all know video HDR option is available only for FullHD 24
Hello ! Thank you very much for this great video ! I have an R6 and I'm going to get into the video. If I’m using c-log 3 then I will have to install a variable nd filter. So, how many stops do you recommend for shooting in broad daylight, with average brightness (Norway in February) ? 2-5 or 6-9 stops? Thanks for your help ! Best regards ! Vanessa
Hello mr , i have Canon r6 camera, can you help me, please, when i shooting 120 fps full hd, my bitrate its to low around 28mbs and move is lookin so bad,how can i resolve this problem, many thanks
Big improvement with that 10 bit codec. Log is now usable without compression artefacts. Of course no crop FF 4K (and the ability to crop also) and 50/60p makes it a pretty great upgrade.
Mitch Lally keen to upgrade! As good as the image could be at times from the R, it was hard to avoid banding, noise and blocking even at best possible settings (iso400, clog, all-i 4k). I’m seeing and hearing reports the 1080 is also better on the R6 which is fantastic as switching to 1080 is always an option if overheating ever becomes and issue in 4k, nice to know you’ll still get perfectly usable footage in 1080. Are you seeing better dynamic range in video compared to the R?
jamescause I’m not noticing a huge dynamic range increase but apparently DR is slightly better according to the DXO mark stats from the 1DX iii (it shares the same sensor) so that’s something to consider but I don’t think it is a huge jump.
@@suprat49 there are some videos on the RUclips (eg. from YCImaging) comparing R vs R6 1080p and it's a noticeable difference. Way more details, less noise and artifacts. The image is much cleaner and you can push it way harder and recover shadows/highlights more efficiently.
I got the R6 and loved it first until I recognized that I cannot save my custom settings for video. Now I found out that I can save my own menu (the green one) as you did and that could be a good compromise to use this custom "My Menu" for switching between 120fps and 30 fps, which I do a lot.. thanks for that
I just bought the R6 yesterday after having sold all my gear (5Dmark IV's) a couple years back. That's my one complaint about the camera! I loved being able to switch between 24,60,and 120 super quickly. But other than that the camera is pretty fantastic.
@@samredekop2608 Hello mr, i have Canon r6 camera, can you help me, please, when i shooting 120 fps full hd, my bitrate its to low around 28mbs and move is lookin so bad,how can i resolve this problem, many thanks
When he doesn't start recording, he doesn't count from scratch, but in the minutes of 10 minutes and 38. The camera's manufacturing standards already existed and it still continues, from scratch.
Does anyone know why the custom menu set is only available in photo mode? (C1,C2,C3) On my Canon 6D I had them set to 24F, 30F, and 60F however I can't figure out how to do it on the R6 the menu only seems to be available in photo mode
Just go my EOS R6 and your advices Mitch are just great! Thanks a lot, feels like we have the same needs, that's why I love your settings. It helped me a lot. Keep posting! See ya
on log do u expose to the right? any tip for good exoposure on skin tones? what about without log? thanks for any tip, really liked your video, was really helpful :) cheers from Greece mate
I'm having issues with focus sound even when using an off camera mic. Is there a setting I'm missing? I tried moving to manual sound and still can hear the camera focusing in playback.
Mitch, you are so talented and I absolutely LOVE your Lightroom presets, especially Authentic Film 00. So I purchased the LUTs, and own a Sony A7Siii, but I don’t know which settings to use. Would I need to setup a picture profile? I tried everything I can think off, but nothing seems to be working for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Mitch, I was wondering if there is a way to stop the 120fps from exporting at 30fps? And it'd be great if you could do a tutorial on video settings for filming at night. Thanks for making this video!!!
@@hyuseinhyuseinov7338 simply fasten your video by 4 times to get the 30fps per second time. But it may look unnatural because of the high shutter speed (1/200) used to get 120fps footage. Still in short scenes it may be useful. Check it by yourself ;)
Hi Mitch ... 11 months on and your video is still the one to turn to for a settings refresh. Question .... I'm shooting a junior dance concert. Low key, 2 x 15m sets. I'm shooting with the 70-200 f2.8 III, and because the dancers are on stage and coming towards me on a catwalk, I want an aperture of f5.6 to maybe f7.1? But this is also indoors on a stage (at the local RSL!), so the lighting will be decent concert spots, without being awesome. I'm going to shoot at 24/Full IPB. So what shutter speed would recommend without ISO jumping up? We haven't had a full scale rehearsal in the hall, so I'm flying a bit blind. I'll have a quick chance to test when I'm setting up. Keep up the great videos.
Can you tell me how you expose CLOG on the R6? Shadows not below 10IRI and highlights not over 80? Also I have seen someone correcting WB to -2 away from center/Red. Do you agree?
I don’t get that scientific with it. I use the histogram and expose so that the midtones are slightly shifted to the right (ETTR). I’ve found that the white balance looks fine as is.
It only has IPB, but also has 10-bit 4:2:2 colour and high bit rate files so the difference in quality might not be that noticeable. The files will probably be harder to edit though.
@@greenlightstudios3469 That's correct. But you shouldn't WANT to shoot 8 bit C-LOG because C-LOG requires a higher bit depth in order to avoid banding and color blocking due to it's luma curve. Banding and color blocking IMO is worse than having 0.5 stops less dynamic range in your final image.
This video was a lifesaver!
Such a great video. Really helped me! Thank you.

Mitch Lally I was using auto iso in manual video mode.
Mitch Lally also face detect and eye detect were enabled

I'm going to buy EOS R6 but I need to inquire one thing about R6 the All-i video format is missing in this model or not?
It only has IPB, but also has 10-bit 4:2:2 colour and high bit rate files so the difference in quality might not be that noticeable. The files will probably be harder to edit though.

Where is the 8 bit/ 10 bit settings? did I miss it?
Ok so 10 bit engages when you turn on C-log....Wait a min, does that mean that you can't record 8 bit c-log like canon eos r?
@@greenlightstudios3469 That's correct. But you shouldn't WANT to shoot 8 bit C-LOG because C-LOG requires a higher bit depth in order to avoid banding and color blocking due to it's luma curve. Banding and color blocking IMO is worse than having 0.5 stops less dynamic range in your final image.
@@MitchLally I get that, I just feel that it’s a lost feature over the eos R. I didn’t realize that 8bit log was gone
