- Canon's EOS 5D marked the entry for Canon into the non-professional full frame camera marketplace. The 5D offered advanced photographers and photographers who take occasional paid work an offering that provided full frame image quality in an affordable package. The camera makes a number of compromises, even for the time it was released, with frame rate, buffer size, and build quality. However, today, as a used camera, it provides a very affordable way to learn photography with a straightforward interface and an absences of the frills and features that clutter Canon lower-tier cameras like the Rebel and Kiss cameras. This video series provides a comprehensive guide on how to use this camera including examples of when different features are useful.

Very thorough. Thank you David.
Thank you!
Exactly where I needed, wanted to know how to adjust the aperture in M mode , thanks !
Thanks, I just bought this camera, for it was available as a replacement for a broken Powershot.
I have to learn a lot, you helped me very well. Your educational style is very much appreciated.
Tomorrow I will watch the third video
Thank you!
Thanks a ton! super helpful!
Thank you!
Thank you !!
Thank you!
Great job. Simple and easy to understand|
Thank you!
A very informative video and explanations. It helps me because I do not have a user manual for my 5D. Thank you
Thank you!
Can actually go on-line and down load manual....if you like.. i bought one used and that's what i did.
5d with wireless trigger and off camera flash on high sync speed works just fine 😊
I have been using above combo for a while now.
Nice! Thank you!
which trigger do you use? it works with canon flashes only?
@@resistenzainutile godox trigger (xpro)work with godox speedlite 860ii!
@@y34r thanks! i use neewer/godox trigger and flashes for my mirrorless sony, i just love it!
Good work done 🤝
Thank you!
Hi thanks for the video it's super helpful I've just got this camera and am wanting to use it for a wedding which will be inside and outside any tips please on settings as photos are coming out orange or blurred I've set up settings as per this video currently on AV mode
For the color cast, your white balance is set incorrectly. It should be in auto unless you know exactly what lighting you have. For the blur, I'm guessing you have the kit zoom lens, something like a 28-85mm f/4-5.6. You will likely need a flash, a faster lens (like a 50mm f/1.8) and you'll need to set the ISO to something like 400 in order to have less motion blur.
Great series, helped me a lot understanding this camera. One question, where and how can i update 5d classic to version 1.1.1 since i need that in order to read 16gb cards. Im on version 1.1.0 and max card size is 8gb, thanks in advance.
Thank you! For the firmware, I don't know. I tried to find the upgrade and could not. I don't think that Canon hosts it on their website any more. Or at least if they do I couldn't find it.
These are really great videos in preparation for my new (to me) camera coming on Monday. A technical question re. white balance, changing through the different modes, do these affect RAW files as well as jpegs. Thanks.
Thank you and in general white balance only affects jpegs, I believe. It would be pretty easy to test that, however, as I'm not certain about the answer.
@@DavidHancock thanks for your speedy reply David, I thought that would be the case.
I use a Godox 685TTLC, and the x1 trigger. It will do HSS. I also use a AD200 as well.
Thank you!
Thanks for making the videos.. you mentioned 3 videos.. was video 3 deleted or never made? Can't seem to find it
Thank you! It's up there. The videos' descriptions will have links to each of the three in the text.
You can use an old, cheap, but powerful, Vivitar 283 flash. I do.
Connection is by simple PC synch-cord.
Mount on L-bracket or hand-hold. Excellent results.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you! I still really don't recommend it. I have not had a flash discharge into a DSLR but I know a couple people who have and both DSLRs ended up with fried boards.
@@DavidHancock Hi David, I had the same concerns when I first got the 5D. Then I found out that the PC synch-cord port is not polarised on the 5D ( it is stated in the manual - page 102 ), so third party flash units can be used via synch-cord. Just don't use units with Voltage exceeding 250V, and you will be fine.
There is talk online of differing voltages on different Vivitars that has to be established before use (old/new - Japanese or Korean manufacture - may have differing voltages ). it would be prudent to check first. but mine works fine, and has had hundreds of activations with no issues whatsoever. :o) Thanks for the interaction.
Thank you! I missed that in the manual.
The older 283 can discharge 600V. The newer one not so much. Best be safe.
5:32 I have an old Canon Speedlite 188A, would that present the same problems that you describe here?
Shouldn't, but verify the output voltage. The Canon camera forums will likely have someone with that knowledge, so would Photrio.
Your 5 just came off the assembly line yesterday!
They took it off mid-way through.
hello David
thank you for the videos.
i owned a 5d when they first came out and then sold it to raise some money.
i have just brought a secondhand one again as thought it gave the best photos with a 135mm f2 lens.
the problem is the drivers to connect with the apple mac no longer exist so managed to import through print mode function but it is very slow takes about a hour to import 100 pictures.
do you have any ideas how to speed up, i now i can take the cf card out and put in a reader but reluctant to keep doing this as sure one day i will bend a male pin which will be costly.
thanks again.
peace and happiness
Thank you! The best thing to do would be to just transfer files directly off the CF card to your computer. I don't use Mac so I don't know if they have built-in CF card readers, but even a low-end CF reader will be faster. A good CF card and reader will work very quickly.
@@DavidHancock hello David
thank you for your reply
if i find an amazing solution i will let you know.
thanks again and keep up the good work
peace
@@easytiger-bg1ot you can use darktable. It is free software and it supports Canon 5D classic. I use it sometimes. But the best way is to buy card reader with CF card support. Transcend for example has some card readers with usb-c if you want to avoid adapters for new Macbooks with no usb-a ports.
If i want to use this camera for sports photography (daytime), what would be the best settings to use?
Same as any camera -- fast shutter speed, high ISO.
I found the camera to be really heavy with my 70 to 210 zoom lens with the battery pack. How can I reduce this weight with a different zoom lens?
A different zoom would work, but by the time you get into that range you're looking at heavy lenses. A Canon EF 55-200 might be lighter, however.
Just bought a used 5D with nearly mint condition. But when I load the files to my computer, the Camera serial number is different from the body. Just wonder did you have the same serial number on both file and body? Thanks in advance.
Huh. Curious. I never checked that but it could easily be that someone replaced the base on yours, which would change the body serial number.
How do you set the camera to auto ISO? Very informative video, thank you.
Unfortunately no auto iso.
Thank you!
Thank you! Hutzman bear me to it.
How do I set ISO in a manual mode please. Thank you.
Same way that you would in any mode. Just access the ISO adjustment with the ISO button on the left and rotate the proper wheel.
@@DavidHancock Thank you so much.
قانكيو خويا ومش صاحبي
على الرحب والسعة يا صديقي!
My pictures are depexeleting while I shoot on auto, problem?
Do you mean they're blurry or have a lot of noise? If yes, are you using auto ISO? If so, try limiting the auto ISO to 400 on the high side and see if that helps.
Do you happen to have an IG account? If we had any repair questions or needs do you do that? I’m new to your channel and a new Canon classic guy 😊
I do. I think most of my videos, especially the new ones have a link in the description. I don't repair cameras for other people, but I have a network of good repairmen.
@@DavidHancock ok thank you! I’ll keep your info in mind
Generally a good story but there's at least one error and a mistaken impression. The error occurs around the 20-minute mark. The top button at the right sets the back dial to control flash compensation, not EV compensation. EV compensation is controlled by the back dial when none of the top buttons have been pressed unless you're in Manual or Bulb mode on the control dial. The mistaken impression is caused by the way you hold down the top buttons when adjusting the settings they enable. The top buttons don't need to be held down, although they timeout pretty quickly. While new 5D users will catch on to this mistaken impression once they start playing around, it's an unnecessary speed bump.
Ah, good catch. Thank you.
Liked your train joke, a bit morbid.
