This video deserves a zillion more views. The way these little tweaks improved my videos is mindblowing. Don't ever stop sharing your knowledge - we need it! *new sub here*
I find the ISO 3200 limit works really well with my f1.2 and f1.4 lenses even at night. Just bought a 14mm f2.8 and have to bump up the ISO into the noisy range when shooting at night.
Yeah 14mm with the 1.7x crop ends up around 24mm which is a very useful wide angle. I swapped my 16 to 35 f2.8Lii for the Canon 24mm f1.4ii which was a great decision because the 24mm is fantastic and is so much better than the zoom. Since I invested in 256gb cards shooting alot more 4k and the 24mm was giving around a 40mm with the 1.7 crop which was not wide enough for quite a bit of the shooting I do. I am currently based in South India so shooting 4k gives more options for selling stock even though 1080 is the resolution I will render to. So picked up the new Samyang f2.8 14mm autofocus lens specifically for 4k shooting on the 5dmk4 which has great centre sharpness and very little chromatic abberation and distortion. I prefer its bokeh as well to the Canon zoom. The only zoom I like is my Canon 70 to 200 f2.8L other than that, just use primes now.
Great video, but can you give me any tips on how to avoid the clicking noises from the lens auto focusing? I have the 5d iv 24-70, and 70-200. I've heard the external mic won't make much difference. Is there any zoom lens that works on a EF mount that is equal to STM?
I have Cannon 5D Mark IV but dont' have the same menu settings available. It's currently on FHD 23.98P ALL-I , but no option for FHD 25P ALL-I? Is there another setting that needs to be changed first to give those options?
Hi Michael, really appreciate the wealth of knowledge you are sharing. Question about C-log. Shooting in Manual with C Log enabled. when in 4k C log is displayed on the rear display as solid. In all the HD modes C LOG is flashing on the rear display. is there a reason for this? Thanks
Will Heap Hi Will. Thanks mate, appreciate you checking out my videos. You want to ensure it isn’t blinking at all. In HD to stop it blinking you need to turn off peripheral illumination under lens aberration correction. It blinks in HD to tell you it is on and as it can introduce noise and banding if on during clog shooting it’s best practice to turn it off to avoid any issues. When you switch to 4K peripheral illumination is automatically set to off as it’s not available in 4K due to the crop factor. So that’s why it doesn’t flash when you are shooting 4K! Hope that helps mate! Thanks for reaching out
Great video ..I tried this and it wasnt working it kept going above the limits i set ..im shooting in M ..also another problem when im recording it stops by itself at times? Thanks
ipavetv hey mate, thanks for your comments. Not sure why it’s just doing it’s own thing. Remember there are 2 settings, one for 4K mode and one for HD settings. Could that be the issue? On the stop recording I had that when my card speed was too low (wrong card in there). You need CF or an SD that can do above 90MB/s. What cards are you using?
@@ipavetv Could you solve the iso limit? the same problem happens to me in video. I limit it to 6400 and it goes up to 25,000. If you have a solution please tell me.
Hey Michael, quick question. You talked about using slo mo on the Canon 5D Mark IV at 720P then upping it to 1080P for output. At what point is the video file upscaled? Do you just drag it in to the timeline in Premiere and adjust it to fit? Or is there another step that needs to be done before exporting?
Ken Foster Yes, this is for 120p slo mo. firstly you you just drag it into your 1080 timeline in premiere and then scale it up to frame size. There is a lossless upscale feature in After Effects but I found the quality difference almost negligible between processing first to 1080 and just up scaling to the timeline in premiere.
@@MichaelDrowley Thanks, Michael. This was actually part of another video "Canon 5D MK IV BEST Video Settings you need to be using today" I posted my question to the wrong video. However, you were on point. Hope you and your family stay safe through all of this. Thank you for your videos.
Ken Foster Yeah, I also did a specific video on the 5DIV slo mo here with my little short called “frame house” - ruclips.net/video/EpB5R0TMmiw/видео.html
Hi Michael! Love your videos. Quick question, on my Mk IV I can't get the touchscreen to Autofocus when in video mode. It works in still mode. The only way I can use the screen for AF is to turn on the servo AF mode but then the camera continually refocuses as I move around. Is this normal or do you think I have some whacky setting on that's stopping touchscreen focus?
Yeah, Log is a bit of a process to get exposure spot on, so I would suggest a bit more care when using log and Canon have obviously not allowed the camera to self expose when it comes to log. As an example. When you shoot outdoors with Log compared to indoors the settings for exposure are massively different. I haven't really covered this, but I have done a video you can find in my 5D Mk IV playlist on getting the exposure right for log. And for that you want your ISO to be locked down at 400 to get the full range of stops available with the log feature. Any higher and the image blows out and gets really noisy. Hope that helps!
These are really informative videos, but you go through the menus way too fast if you are trying to follow on your own camera. Would it be possible to slow things down a bit?
Hi Huw, thanks so much for checking out my videos. I tend to go fast to get through the content. You could just scrub back or on the RUclips app you can just double tap the left of video screen! 👌🏻😉
Akira Y. I think it’s down to cLOG being optimised for native ISO 400 to gain the full dynamic range increase that LOG provides. Going over native 400 ISO introduces a greater amount of noises so perhaps that’s the reason for the restriction.

NJ Family hey yeah, you will pick up some focusing noise for sure. You may need to go off camera mic solution. The Rode videomicpro will help a lot but not eliminate it all-together. I think some of the EF-S STM lenses work on the 5D for 4K. I just work with primes for my work so the focus noise isn’t as noticeable if at all. The 50mm f1.8 and the 24mm f1.4 are my go to’s.
@@MichaelDrowley thanks so much for taking the time to answer! You've been very helpful! I may just have to get some primes (: and an external Mic! If you don't mind one more quick ? I'm pretty strapped for money and was thinking of going with the video micro... I know it's not as good a quality, but since I can't control any levels on this Mic, would there be a difference between it and the pro for picking up the auto focus? Thanks so much for your time! And thanks for your videos. I remember watching you when I was trying to decide if I should upgrade to the iv
NJ Family Thabks so much for the kind words! The micro is great but just check reviews of the rycote Mount it comes with. The pre-amps in the 5D4 are actually not that bad so the added boost setting of the videomicpro is such a good feature of that mic but the micro should still get you great results for an off camera mic!

Thank you Michael . I just bought a 5 d mark IV and your videos are truly helping me understand my new camera very well
Great tip on the ISO limit. I have that setup on my 5DIV and a6300.

Miles Trevelyan-Johnson Thanks for the input Miles! 14mm would be super wide but how does it work in 4K? Would be pretty solid I reckon.

Yeah, find the setting to switch from PAL to NTSC (or vise versus) and switch that. I think it’s in the yellow wrench menu 4 or 5.
Thanks for sharing! Was helpful :)
Michael, loving your videos! What kind of strap are you using on your camera? I see it is detachable. I love that! Thanks!

Too bad we can't use Auto ISO in C-log. Don't understand why Canon restricts this.

25p ? I can’t find on my 5dmkiv
Try switching from NTSC to PAL. Under spanner (yellow) menu - “video system” I think.
I just with 5DIV had 120P
Yeah, me too! I also want 4K 60p on the canon, that would put it well above the rest of the pack!
