Ive had mine half a year.. its such a nice camera. (My 2nd canon) and first time taking it seriously as a hobby. I love it. Still learning and wanting sharper images though
I recently upgraded my Canon EOS 600D to the 80D. This video is already 7 years old as of today. However, it contains very useful information for beginners like me. Thanks for the video!
When you touch a box on the screen, don't just touch it as you continue talking. Tell us what you're touching ! I had to replay a section of the video 3 - 4 times just to figure out how you navigated to the focusing zone option screen. When I press my Q button . . I don't show the focusing squares to the right of AI Focus. Why not ?
I have a Canon 80d, I reset the settings in my camera the problem I am having is in my ISO scale they are hole nos. My question is how can I set the increments to 1/3 again. as it was before. Thanks
Should've watched this video when I bought the camera over two years ago... I changed alot of settings and now I'm psyched to get out and see the difference! Thanks so much.
+Praveen Ap You are correct that it should be double the frame rate in most cases, but the 180 degree rule has to do with camera placement, not camera settings.
Incorrect. The 180 degree rule he mentions is about shutter angle (the relationship between shutter speed and fps). Please look it up, as you are misinforming your subscribers.
What Praveen is saying is that if you want a cinematic look to your footage you should use a shutter speed that is double what your fps is. 60fps would be 1/120th shutter speed. This makes the motion blur in your footage seem more cinematic. If you lower the shutter speed below twice the fps, your footage will have a trailing effect which could be used for a Bourne flashback look. If you increase your shutter speed beyond twice your fps your footage will seem jittery. However, the one thing in this video that is actually incorrect is that if you shoot 60fps at a 1/30 shutter speed, your still capturing 60fps but your footage will have a noticeable trailing effect where motion occurs. The camera doesn't change how many frames you are capturing. The mechanical shutter is not used during video recording. Instead, it uses an electronic shutter and discharges its sensor at the set shutter speed rate. All in all, this video was great. Thumbs up from me.
I found Udemy 7 or 8 years ago by finding your ditch auto video. I've been shooting in everything but auto since. Ordered an 80D and came across this video and just wanted to say thank you for those free courses you posted!
This video gives me hope! I went from an OLD Canon Rebel to the 80D in 2016 and I hate it! I have tinkered with taking photos my entire life, I am not young, and for the last 2-3 years I haven't done much of anything because the 80D is frustrating! I know basically how to shoot in manual mode with success but the clarity of the photos were not as good as they could've been. I did see after making changes to my camera during this video that somehow it ended up on the Servo mode, maybe that was it, we'll see. In the beginning I was getting decent shots but nothing to write home about. *Thank you* and I will look at the other videos!
Worth a mention that there is a difference between mp4 and mov...mov is higher bitrate and retains more information. Mp4 is a lesser codec, and that's why it can do 60fps in mp4. If you're shooting in 30 or 24 fps...mov is preferred. I only ever switch to mp4 if I need to use 60fps because you're losing quality. (notice that when you switch to mov, even the camera says it's FOR EDITING)
@Craig Willis no it can not do 60fps in mov, that's why the option disappears when switching to it. Only 30fps and under. Mov files at 24/30 fps are 90Mbps, the highest bitrate available on the 80D. In mp4, 1080/60 is only 60 Mbps in comparison.
Great informative video, thanks! I had to slow the playback speed down to 0.75, because you talk too fast for me. You mentioned changing the audio speed for video, can you suggest a few speeds for some situations, please? I found your video when I searched youtube for eos 80d infinity settings and youtube thinks it knows what I want. Anyway, I'll try to find the Infinity setting on my EOS 80D, there's not much about it in the camera manual which I downloaded. Thanks again.
Great video! When you are on your video screen it shows shutter speed, F-Stop setting, and Servo-AI in the lower left corner, the "Q" in the upper right corner, i believe ISO in the lower right corner and Video manual and the Frame rate in the upper left corner. HOw do you get these to show up. Mine shows nothing. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Have you got a Lens attached to the camera when looking for this? In the video, a lens was attached. I only just got my 80D today and haven't had time to play around much. I noticed the same as you, so when I get time tomorrow, I'll attach a Lens & I suspect that a lot more settings will become available. You've probably worked this out by now though, as I'm replying a week after your comment.
Manual selection 1. pt. AF in contrast to default 45 pt. AF is a very narrow zone, somehow I am not convinced why should one choose a narrow focus point, unless its an art photography for effects. I hope I got it correctly, thanks,
Great tips! When you mentioned picture styles, you could have touched on the fat that up to 3 custom styles could be installed. That feature unlocks so much more potential. Also, when slowing 60fps footage on a 30fps timeline, I believe you meant you could slow the footage down 50%, not 100%. You can also slow 60fps footage to 40% for the 24fps timeline (which is actually preferred over 30fps by many) . Lastly, many people shoot using the 180 degree rule for their final footage to look like the "pros". That means you don't typically shoot at a shutter speed that matches your fps. You shoot at a shutter speed at double your fps, so if you are shooting at 60fps, your shutter speed would be at or close to 1/120. If you are shooting at 30fps, your shutter speed would be 1/60. This ensures the shutter opens twice per frame.
This is really helpful, I am going to be buying this camera very soon. So refreshing to see someone looking at both photo and video rather than Vlogging alone which is not something I want to be doing.
For a beginner, I'd say make sure that you also capture JPEGs as well, since there is a learning curve to adjusting RAW images. So you might as well get both, since you'll have the space for it on my larger SD cards.
What focus point is best for group fashion photography? I need them all to be in focus, I imagine Large Zone AF? With the Manual selection: 1 pt AF if the smallest zone is focused on the prodominant model's eye in the photo - Does that mean the other models will not be as sharp or in-focus? Thanks!
Forget about AI Focus! Set AI Servo and enable back button focus. Now you have full control over when you focus, how long you focus and when to lock exposure (separately from focus lock). You'll never go back! Don't trust your camera to decide when to use single or servo focus, as suggested here.
Very nice advice! Rookie here with 80D. I had maybe 30 great photos in a day I missed because i couldn't get the focus right where I wanted it. FULL CONTROL MASTER RACE! Subbed ! PS: It is set from Q > Custom Controls (right above RAW/JPEG option) > Multi-Controller (the first on the right from the bottom)
I like how you explain the functions of the camera, hands on. I've seen a lot of videos where they just point at the functions while they talk and talk and talk...
I use Lightroom, CaptureOne Pro and Canon's own Digital Photo Professional (occasionally). The first 2 completely ignore Canon's picture profiles by default. DPP honours the profile, but let's you change profile after the fact or edit it in any way you like. If you use Canon Picture Style Editor to create custom profiles - they will only have effect in DPP. Lightroom chooses Adobe Standard by default, but can be changed to select one of the basic Canon picture styles.
Im quite new to the whole photograpy thing and just got myself an 80d.. does this mean i can set a picture profile so my JPEGs which i dont edit anyways look their best and then switch to raw to shoot pics ill edit and i dont have to change the picture profile? (as in switching to raw will just ditch it?)
Yes. Easier would be to shoot RAW+JPEG. Your jpegs would look good with the picture profile you choose in camera and if for some reason you want to edit the photo you'll have the raw file and do with it whatever you want.
Slightly amending my previous response to you... you can actually apply some of Canon's picture styles in Lightroom. It uses a profile called Adobe Standard, by default, but you can click on this to get a drop-down box showing the basic Canon picture styles, such as Portrait, Standard, Faithful, Monochrome, etc. Some of them only appear if you shot with them. Having said that, I find the picture styles are not rendered accurately the way they are in Digital Photo Professional. In other words - open the same image in DPP and LR and apply the Canon picture style used in LR (it is chosen by default in DPP) and the images will look quite different!
What settings do you suggest I use to shoot a stage production? I want to get crisp photos of multiple people and things onto stage who are moving and singing.
Thank you for confirming that, I thought that was off-advice. Out of curriosity - what Picture Style do you use when shooting? I shoot in RAW so does that mean the picture style isn't important?
When recording with both RAW and JPEG, I try to properly set white balance and scene. Doing so will let me share reasonably good pictures without having to manipulate the RAW files.
Hello Sir, I am an amateur videographer live streaming our Sunday church service. My problem is the focus tracking mask on the screen of my 80D which also appears on the live stream video over the internet. Can you please help me remove while still on autofocus mode?
Greetings Jerad. A million thanks for a very comprehensive and informative tutorial. I do very much enjoy and appreciate my 80D. My question is this: When going from any setting lower than 24mp in RAW, are you not getting the benefit of the most Mps available? I understand the spacing issues, however, I went to a larger and faster CF Card, i,e., Lexar 1066X MB/s UDMA 7 professional. With this media card, I experience no issues with speed and spacing with a RAW setting at the maximum setting. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial. Tony :))
Thank you for this! I retain info so much better with video than reading the manuals. I just got the 80D and you're making it so much more fun and productive. Thanx!!!
you made a great explanation and now i have some better ideas on how to adjust the settings for my 80D. Thank you. It would be really cool if you gave some video samples.
THANK YOU so much!!! This is so incredibly helpful. I’ve had all my settings on auto and now finally carving some time out to learn to use it properly. You mentioned formatting your SD card, does that need to be each time you transfer your pictures to your computer and reinsert the card or is it a one time/first time only thing?
I changed mine from JPEG to raw like suggested, but all three of my computers won’t let me open them. I can download into a file, but I can’t view or do anything with them. So I have over 100 pictures of my daughter that I can’t even view, edit, share, or really do anything with. I spent the last 3 days trying to figure out how to fix, but decided to call it a loss & changed the setting back to JPEG & will have to take my small child back out for a re-do photo session.
Go to Canons website and download the Digital Photo Professional software. If your computer is older you need software that can read the RAW files. I use Adobe Lightroom and it opens RAW files which I convert to DNG files in Lightroom.
Thanks. But you should know about the 180 degree rule and not tell people the shutter speed should match the frame rate. This is a pro/semi-pro camera, not a point and shoot.
In my point of view, if you buy the entry level canon dslr, then these settings make sense. Jpg+raw in travel photography or wedding is a MUST. Cannot save 32GB of every small trip or photo session in raw and then share. But if you choose 20 absolutely great photos and edit them, print them, share them and at the end give all the jpg, give all the tryouts of the couple to get a natural look or just save the places you saw but weren't so great, for me is important. Now again, i had a cheap Nikon when i started, then i paid the 1000€ body to get the full control, not the auto settings. Just saying...
I did not read all the comments but the picture styles ONLY affect the jpeg photos. If you are shooting RAW then the picture styles have absolutely no effect!
For most changes You spent so much time telling us why you made the changes and little to no time on how to make them. You push some buttons and that that. maybe you could tell people what button you;re pushing.
Don't worry about it. The video is so filled with wrong information it makes the entire thing pointless. Picture styles on RAW files?! That's laughable to anybody who's even heard of RAW.
Honest question... In a few videos now people talk about formatting the card, like they do it all of the time basically. Why? Is there an actual purpose for it? I plan on buying this camera, but with other cameras I just move (cut and paste) the images from the sd card to the PC. Which removes them from the SD card. From what I can tell some people think that formatting will remove all of the images and therefore no trace of the images are there. Ok, but that is a low level format and unless you choose low level format (if your camera supports it) will simply mark the images to be written over. Just like deleting the image would. If they did not, then certain software able to "recover" the images after a format... wouldn't be able to work. So just deleting them is fairly equal to a regular format. The only reason I can see to format is to clean up the file system if it becomes corrupted, or an issue occurs. Then only low level format if you take sensitive photos and want to sell the card and or loan it to someone else. I can see doing it once in awhile, but doing it daily, or more than say monthly it seems like it would just add more wear and tear on it than necessary.
I made the mistake of purchasing the $29.00 intro to the 80D from Canon. This short 5 setting segment was MUCH more informative and easier to follow. The Canon intro talks, skips the basics of showing you how to get to different menus, and the guy who talks to you sounds like a generic advertisement for canon. This guy talks a lot, but a lot of the information is USEFUL for the 100% beginner. Highly recommended
Where do you change the time? I was able to set to RAW. However, for items 3 - 5 it was extremely difficult to see which buttons to push. From comments I saw I was not alone in this problem with your video.

video shutter speed should be double the framerate, if 60fps, you should go with a shutter speed of 1/120 as per 180degree rule

awesome info for beginners, I thank you for your time! it makes me happy to get my camera out again and learn new tips
Thanks. Direct and informative.

Just got my 90D and this video helps with that too!
Picture styles affect JPG and JPG previews for RAW files but they don't actually take anything away from your RAW files.
Thanks this video was very helpful
Do you guys know why i cant change my type of focus?
Your delivery is quite good

hi i have a canon 80d what lenses will work on this camera with a 1x4 converter, i have two lenses a canon 70-300 mkii and a tamron 18-400 lens

Use a lower F number to get a greater dept of field. Like f8 f11. Use a flash if the shutter speed gets to slow
great video on the top 5s! I will be using these steps!

I noticed many errors: e.g. Picture Style settings don't affect raw files in any way..
Yeah, you can even choose a picture profile inside lightroom and edit from there.

Your audio is pretty good. How did you record the audio ?
fantastic tutorials - I actually understand my camera better now - time to get this programmed in and shooting
Now forget everything you just 'learned' and start over!
If you have a let say a voiglander 20 mm lens - manual focus lens - you will only see manual focus MF with rect box , pretty sure
Want to learn eos80d dial mode settings,pl any body help me.which web site can show me briefly,thanks
Looks like I'm in for a serious learning curve. LOL Didn't see where you went after the "shooting RAW" part. Couldn't find that screen.
At 16;50 you are very wrong about shutter speed and frames per second. Learn the 180 rule. 24 FPS should have 1/48th and 30fps should be 60th
What settings do you suggest I use to shoot a stage production? I want to get crisp photos of multiple people and things onto stage who are moving and singing.
When shooting RAW, the Picture Style only affects the way the image appears in the LCD, but doesn't have any effect on the the actual RAW file.
Is that b/c all of the original info is already in the RAW file?
Thank you for confirming that, I thought that was off-advice. Out of curriosity - what Picture Style do you use when shooting? I shoot in RAW so does that mean the picture style isn't important?

you made a great explanation and now i have some better ideas on how to adjust the settings for my 80D. Thank you. It would be really cool if you gave some video samples.
If shooting in jpeg, try this settings for portraits, faithful, sharpness -4, exposure -1, contrast -1, color tone 0
Is it worth buying as of June 2018

Your videos are very good. I'm a Sony shooter myself. I'll like you to do a video for the new Sony a99ii
Shutter should be double the frame rate for video (i.e. 1/50th is shooting 24fps). Good vid otherwise. Thanks
When honoring the 180* shutter angle "rule" :)
yeah, and also his suggestions about formatting the card only on the camera...it all suggests he's not very good in technical details.
Hi,
Why my 80d don't have fhd with 59.94fps ? Thank you for the answer
same here

Thanks. But you should know about the 180 degree rule and not tell people the shutter speed should match the frame rate. This is a pro/semi-pro camera, not a point and shoot.
if your a pro why do you not have back button focus set?
What mode do you have the dial set to in this, (ie M, Av, Tv, Auto, SCN
In my point of view, if you buy the entry level canon dslr, then these settings make sense. Jpg+raw in travel photography or wedding is a MUST. Cannot save 32GB of every small trip or photo session in raw and then share. But if you choose 20 absolutely great photos and edit them, print them, share them and at the end give all the jpg, give all the tryouts of the couple to get a natural look or just save the places you saw but weren't so great, for me is important. Now again, i had a cheap Nikon when i started, then i paid the 1000€ body to get the full control, not the auto settings. Just saying...
I did not read all the comments but the picture styles ONLY affect the jpeg photos. If you are shooting RAW then the picture styles have absolutely no effect!
Doesn't the shutter speed have to double what the frame rate is? This is what everybody else says...
For most changes You spent so much time telling us why you made the changes and little to no time on how to make them. You push some buttons and that that. maybe you could tell people what button you;re pushing.
Don't worry about it. The video is so filled with wrong information it makes the entire thing pointless. Picture styles on RAW files?! That's laughable to anybody who's even heard of RAW.
Honest question... In a few videos now people talk about formatting the card, like they do it all of the time basically. Why? Is there an actual purpose for it?
I plan on buying this camera, but with other cameras I just move (cut and paste) the images from the sd card to the PC. Which removes them from the SD card.
From what I can tell some people think that formatting will remove all of the images and therefore no trace of the images are there. Ok, but that is a low level format and unless you choose low level format (if your camera supports it) will simply mark the images to be written over. Just like deleting the image would. If they did not, then certain software able to "recover" the images after a format... wouldn't be able to work. So just deleting them is fairly equal to a regular format. The only reason I can see to format is to clean up the file system if it becomes corrupted, or an issue occurs. Then only low level format if you take sensitive photos and want to sell the card and or loan it to someone else. I can see doing it once in awhile, but doing it daily, or more than say monthly it seems like it would just add more wear and tear on it than necessary.
I made the mistake of purchasing the $29.00 intro to the 80D from Canon. This short 5 setting segment was MUCH more informative and easier to follow. The Canon intro talks, skips the basics of showing you how to get to different menus, and the guy who talks to you sounds like a generic advertisement for canon. This guy talks a lot, but a lot of the information is USEFUL for the 100% beginner. Highly recommended
Where do you change the time? I was able to set to RAW. However, for items 3 - 5 it was extremely difficult to see which buttons to push. From comments I saw I was not alone in this problem with your video.
20 minutes. FOR 5 TIPS.
Damn man
5 REALLY BAD tips.
WOw! Your looks changed a lot.
For some reason when I hit the Q button something else comes up and I can't get to the screen you are showing .
When I tap the touchscreen it automatically takes a picture. How do I turn this off?
You have to disable touch shutter (Bottom left of live view screen or on the 5th page of the red camera menu)
