Audio levels can be controlled on the 80D while recording video using manual audio control by pressing the Q button. Both the audio level and the headphone level can be controlled either by using the touch screen or the top dial.
For photography, I like using TV mode being able to control shutter speed easily, but I am new to video and don't know how to use it for filmography. Thanks for the video!
Hi Grant... Many thanks. Videos on this subject often tend to confuse the viewers but this one really hleped me out with the settings. Best wishes from here in India.
I am in a PAL region. However, I noticed NTSC has more options and includes 24 fps. It may be better to set it on this option as default as video editing software can convert to PAL later.
Thank you very much. Very helpful. But everytime my camera is off it changes the mic volume setting by default. Is there a way to permanently store the recording volume for a custom setting
Thanks for this video! I just bought an 80D last week and am going to the F1 race here in Austin this next week and planned on taking some video. These tips should help immensely.
This might be a silly question, but here it goes. I put your settings onto my camera. When I left the dial on M (manual) the screen was just black. no light, I filmed (I think) the red light was flashing but no movie. Then I changed the dial to Auto and I could see the screen again and made a video. But don't know whether I was filming in manual or auto.
Been checking you for some time now. Just subscribed. Just got a 80D to go with my gh4. All this started when I took a GoPro to NZL in March '15. Coming back next Feb/March '17. I'll be checking your audio vid for the 80D. Currently live in Santa Cruz Calif. Love NZL!!
Hope you enjoyed NZ with the GoPro, apart from the headphone jack monitoring on the 80D its pretty much the same as the 70D and have done a few videos on that on this channel. Cheers
My first impressions after upgrading 70D -> 80D : - 60fps Full HD ? Nice to meet you, buddy - C1 & C2 ? Great ! So I'm setting C1 as my standard 24fps cinematic look with Servo AF, in ALL-I (Higher Resolution) and C2 as my slow motion mode 60fps, no Servo AF for the moment, in IPB because no choice.. -> Then I could still do whatever I want in the Manual mode for photography :P, so cool Next step, installing the Cinestyle profile, then testing those kickass lenses I'm waiting for.. :P
Dylan Roberts it is a very good camera. I don’t have it now because I bought the 6 D MK II. It’s a true work horse and very good in low light. I just posted another video yesterday morning with some broll you can check out near the end of the video. I’ve been using this for about a year and a half now.
Hi Grant, thank you for the video. Can you suggest an CHEAPER alternative for battery backup for shooting 7-8 hours, apart from buying more canon batteries? some people suggest some power banks which are able to power up the camera for a long time. Any thought for 80D?
Thank you so much. This looks okay. But most of the times when shooting outside, there is no provision for Ac power source..I have seen some people using an external power suply (just like mobile power bank, connected to a battery shaped dc coupler). But dont know which product they use and which model is compatible with 80D. I want to thank you for all the amazing tutorial videos. They are very helpful.
Thanks for this video. I've had my 80D for a while now and I wasn't aware about some of the settings you pointed out. :) Very helpful and informative. :)
when I got my 80d it blurred the background the first time I used it. Now it doesnt and I didnt change any settings I can get it to blur the background in my videos. What do I do?
Awesome,nice and straight forward.I live in sunny Nelosn,just bought the 80d.Looking forward to getting into and learning about the camera etc.Cheers Joe
Hi, good video. Miss, I want you to help me with a problem, which I see appearing on your screen as well, namely: at the bottom left you have the MP4off icon, and then that icon with 3 lines / microphone of! What does it mean? Each time I insert the microphone (Bya MM-MM1), IT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN! I also tried activating ATT and without ATT. He's still there when I turn on the microphone ... even though I have a sound ... but it's annoying. can you help me please? Thank you.
it doesn't matter about NTSC and PAL, they were relevant for analog TV signal. Now a days monitors and TV will broadcast both frequencies. In the digital world, there is no place for PAL and should never be used.
We shoot weddings in the Uk which is PAL...... We also thought lets just shoot in NTSC and get 60fps and get smoother slow motion !! Great outside but wait until you shoot indoors under electrical lights and you get a "Flickering" video due to the wrong frequence :(
Grant Just hired a 80D for three months. Am I mistaken or can you only view video through the LCD and not the viewfinder(shock horror!) when recording? Mike in Oz
Yes thats unfortunately true as it is in most DSLR cameras as they have to lock the mirror up and shoot video in live view mode which means you cant use the optical viewfinder.
So all these settings are for shooting in Manual mode and the variable setting is the ISO which is set to Auto to maintain correct exposure. What happens to the Shutter and Aperture settings when you change from Manual to say Aperture priority or Shutter priority?
Thanks buddy. Its March 2019, I have just bought 80d for shooting indoor close videos for my RUclips channel. As I am very new with DSLR, please suggest me a video settings. My configuration: canon 80d+18-135 USM, under softbox lights. Suggestions from anyone will help me a lot.
SAFWAN a magic boy I shoot with the 80D with the 18-55mm kit lens. I shoot in Manuel mode at 60fps 1080 in MP4 files. You can adjust your white balance by rotating the wheel when ur recording or about to record. Hope this helps.
Really really great video James! Recently upgraded from Canon T5i to Canon 80D and loving it so far. Sitting in my car now about to go shoot a sit down video and I’m looking forward to seeing how these great settings will improve he already amazing quality video this powerful camera already shoots! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for that helpful video.What lens do you recommend for shooting video that doesn't make a lot noise when focusing? The older canon EOS cameras (T1i,T2i and so on) really had this problem since they were new to video within DSLR.
Thanks for the great review! I have a big doubt! I would like to get the Panasonic GH4 becaus of the 4K videos and other specs, but now I saw this Canon 80d. For videography what would you suggest? Thanks
What I like about the 80D is the dual pixel and the quick autofocus, comparing with the GH4 focus. I saw some samples videos and it looks a little bit better response the Canon 80D. Thanks!
+kipling1957 I don't know what it's official native ISO is but I would guess at around 100 to 160 ISO. I always try and run it as low as possible ie iso100
Grant- excellent demo.. thanks buddy. I have recently brought this cam with 18-135 mm lens. Do you also provide information regarding still photography settings- more interested in that- And m having trouble in settings for d same. thanks.
Capture card. I thought the 80D could put out 92MB/s in one of the video modes (I) is this card really fast enough? Also, you said that ISO, Shutter and Aperture were manually set - Why then was the aperture setting changing on its own towards the end of the video?
Firstly, thanks very much to Mr Johnston for this very helpful video; much appreciated. Secondly, Mr Speers, you are correct; I noticed, too. The problem might be that cards' labelling is confusing. There may be two speeds shown (as there are in this case). The lesser speeds - shown in a circle - are 1-10, with 10 being best. The greater speeds (UHS Class, shown in a "U") are 1 to 3 - with 3 being the best. NB if the "U" symbol is missing the card is not the fastest UHS standard. The Canon 80d Manual (I kept mine!) stipulates Class 10 (Lesser speeds) or better for MP4 videos but UHS Speed 3 or better (when available) for recording in MOV - the (mainly) Apple format. So, Mr Johnston's card is fine, if recording in MP4, but under-powered if recording in MOV. NB Both MOV and MP4 are similar (lossy) standards - record in whichever one likes and has the video editing software for. But, as I use PCs not Macs and like an easier life, I record in MP4, so I do not need the fastest, most expensive cards.
Hi , when I use the 80d for video sometime when I’m moving there is a jump or stall on the video footage it’s only a split second but annoying, can you help. Thanks.
Grant! I am a vlogger thar recently bought a canon 80d. I would like to know if do you recommend to set this camara this way for self filming (with a gorillapod) or you can recommend me another better setup? Cheers man!
+Tony yes I would recommend you use these settings for vlogging as you can use the footage straight out of the camera without having to spend time grading in post. The camera produces a good quality image and if you want to develop your own style down the track it's a good starting point. Cheers
will this setting work for indoor close-up food video shoot? I was using on auto mode all the time. of course, I want the best out of my money, that's when I get head spinning confused with all those settings. I don't see the external mic sign on the screen when I set auto mode. does the external mic work on auto mode? or I have to shoot on manual setting to get a crisp sound. any help would be appreciated.
Hi Grant, thanks for the video. Informative. I've been taking sunset time lapse, but as soon as the sun starts to go down my video goes dark. What should I do to fix that? I've seen some on youtube where even when the sun goes down, you can still capture good video.
+canesrock82 it's going dark most likely because you have a fixed manual exposure set. I'm no expert in day- night time lapses sorry and it's a bit of a specialist subject. I'm sure there's plenty of info on web to help. Cheers
Hi! you told that digital zoom reduces image quality. Generally yes, but as far as I know for 80D (and 70D as well) up to 3x it just crops pixels from the center of the sensor (because there are more than 3x more pixels on the sensor than needed for 1080p). Can you comment on that?
Hey grant! This weekend I shot using this video settings and it looks amazing!! Very cinematic!!! Thanks for such a nice tip pal! One question, would it be possible for you to show us how to set up canon 80D for a blury timelapse where all things that are moving are blury. I hope I explained myself correctly
+Tony I'll have a look at doing a video but essentially it's a matter of shooting your time lapse with a slow shutter speed to get that motion blur. Cheers
was thinking about getting this camera. but just wondering how this camera autofocuses when there are multiple subjects in the video. how does the Camera know which person that you want in focus.
This camera doesn’t have in body image stabilization, only some lenses have image stabilization. The battery life however is amazing. Almost 1,000 shots per battery life.
Thank you for the Video. Just picked up my 80D and realized that my quality wasn't as good as others but was using manual. About to head to Sydney and do my 2nd ever travel vlog so will try these settings.
I'm a beginner and just purchased the cannon 80d. What additional recommendations do you suggest? I'll be using the camera for recording basketball games, vloging, action pictures and videos
Jachi Lens depends on your budget but I highly recommend you to get a great sd card and a good microphone as the rode videomicro as it is really small and lightweight! If you can afford a way to stabilize your camera, look it up on RUclips for a cheap but good way to do so. Also, with the 80d, consider having a wide angle lens as it has a crop sensor (does a magnification of 1.6x ,so a 100mm lens becomes a 160mm.)
Hi Is canon 80D compatible with Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens. Will it be possible to use all the autofocus AF features of camera on this lens for taking photos and videos ?
Hi Grant. How do I turn off the Camera WiFi, it took me along time to get it to work with my android, now it works but I cant turn it off to operate the time lapse mode.
I just bought one and started to make videos on my channel, you should check them out to see the quality of the Canon80D, I can tell I haven't regret buying this badboy :) I'm hyped to check out your stuff
TheLocal same here! Took a few hundred pics already and learning more as i go. Its a great camera and im happy with it :) ill check out your channel too bro!
Any answer to my Q is appreciated. I use Canon 80D with 18-200mm kit lens and 1.8f 50mm prime lens. I cannot achieve 'sharp' image or video with both lenses. I usually set IOS at 1600 as I usually shoot indoors. Is it because of too high ISO? How much ISO is recommended? How much ISO is usually used by RUclipsrs?
As soon as you tossed the manual, I subscribed.
LOL! Me too. That's my kind of guy. Hello from locked-down London.
Hahaha.
Many Many Thanks For Your Video . I am Purchase 80d for Our music video shooting.
Audio levels can be controlled on the 80D while recording video using manual audio control by pressing the Q button. Both the audio level and the headphone level can be controlled either by using the touch screen or the top dial.
Great info'. It would be nice to actually see the differences these settings gave by watching videos with comparisons to different settings.
Good vid Grant. No fluff just straight into it. Well done.
For photography, I like using TV mode being able to control shutter speed easily, but I am new to video and don't know how to use it for filmography. Thanks for the video!
Hi Grant... Many thanks. Videos on this subject often tend to confuse the viewers but this one really hleped me out with the settings. Best wishes from here in India.

I am in a PAL region. However, I noticed NTSC has more options and includes 24 fps. It may be better to set it on this option as default as video editing software can convert to PAL later.
You don't need PAL unless you record onto a PAL VHS and display it on a tube screen.
All flat screen TVs use 60hz (or higher) panels and electronics.
Thank you very much. Very helpful. But everytime my camera is off it changes the mic volume setting by default. Is there a way to permanently store the recording volume for a custom setting
In terms of vlogging what do you think would be the best settings
+Dale Vida A La Vida I would go with the Neutral or modified Neutral settings I talk about in this video. Cheers
+Grant Johnston Thank you.
Thanks for this video! I just bought an 80D last week and am going to the F1 race here in Austin this next week and planned on taking some video. These tips should help immensely.
And don't forget to charge your camera.

I would have preferred you suggesting the All-I setting for higher bitrates. I think it is a noticable difference.
+Michael Wieczorek it really depends upon what you want to do with the footage in post and I struggle to see much difference. Cheers
I just bought this camera and I’m using it for my RUclips vlogs. It’s pretty awesome. I subbed and liked. Thank you for sharing
MarcAnthonyStorm - Follow The Storm I bc want this camera for my videos. How is it working?

Samreen Art I am having 50fps and I am on pal is that the reason for not having 60fps ?
it doesn't matter about NTSC and PAL, they were relevant for analog TV signal. Now a days monitors and TV will broadcast both frequencies. In the digital world, there is no place for PAL and should never be used.

who is James?
I'm getting the 'Full Frame 80D", for low light pedformance.
Darth Kenobi, what do you mean "Full Frame 80D"? it's still crop 1.6 ...
Alex & Lily The 6D mark 2
Any chance you can explain the functions on the 80D? Shutter, ISO, etc...
I cover all that in my 80D video course learn.grantjohnston.me/p/shoot-better-video-with-the-canon-80d
Thanks man I bought the camera for my new youtube and I really like ur video instruction very well made and detailed! thumbs up
+SeniorLeb glad to hear it was useful. Cheers
Grant Johnston
Thanks my friend!
Thank you so much for that helpful video.What lens do you recommend for shooting video that doesn't make a lot noise when focusing? The older canon EOS cameras (T1i,T2i and so on) really had this problem since they were new to video within DSLR.
The canon STM lens are designed for silent autofocus or alternatively use an external mic.
Is the 80D better than the Nikon D7500 for video? There's so many cameras on the market it's hard to choose one.
Is there option for PAUSE VIDEO in canon 80d....kindly suggest...want to buy this camara...
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. This helps so many people get on track :)
👍
Thanks for the great review! I have a big doubt! I would like to get the Panasonic GH4 becaus of the 4K videos and other specs, but now I saw this Canon 80d. For videography what would you suggest? Thanks
I have never used the GH4 but it is better spec-ed for video than the 80D and the Canon obviously doesn't have 4K if thats what you are after.
What I like about the 80D is the dual pixel and the quick autofocus, comparing with the GH4 focus. I saw some samples videos and it looks a little bit better response the Canon 80D. Thanks!

Ha - the course is up and live at learn.grantjohnston.me/p/shoot-better-video-with-the-canon-80d
Cheers
Thank you for this video. It helped a lot!
great video. Thanks Grant.
Do you have any info presentations on setting up/using a Webill S with said EOS 80D?
What is the native ISO of the 80D - important for maximum dynamic range and minimal artefacts, so I believe.
+kipling1957 I don't know what it's official native ISO is but I would guess at around 100 to 160 ISO. I always try and run it as low as possible ie iso100
Thanks.
The manual throw got you a subscribe LMAO thank you for this!
thanks a lot, it is very informotive. is it worth buying in 2019 ?
I reckon for the price cue its great bang for your buck. Still use mine even thou I have a GH5
thanks man very helpfull recently bought this camera
Great video!! Very helpful!!
I like the way you throw that manual book 🙈
Thanks Grant! Will try on my next video! However it would be nice to have your professional explanation on a future video on your channel👍🏼

Am I the only one who noticed the UHS class 1 card he pulled out of his camera right after saying Canon recommends UHS class 3 or higher?
Firstly, thanks very much to Mr Johnston for this very helpful video; much appreciated.
Secondly, Mr Speers, you are correct; I noticed, too. The problem might be that cards' labelling is confusing. There may be two speeds shown (as there are in this case). The lesser speeds - shown in a circle - are 1-10, with 10 being best. The greater speeds (UHS Class, shown in a "U") are 1 to 3 - with 3 being the best.

Hey grant! This weekend I shot using this video settings and it looks amazing!! Very cinematic!!! Thanks for such a nice tip pal! One question, would it be possible for you to show us how to set up canon 80D for a blury timelapse where all things that are moving are blury. I hope I explained myself correctly
+Tony I'll have a look at doing a video but essentially it's a matter of shooting your time lapse with a slow shutter speed to get that motion blur. Cheers
Or you can shoot a time lapse and do it in Manuel focus mode and just blur everything out. Hope this further helps.
was thinking about getting this camera. but just wondering how this camera autofocuses when there are multiple subjects in the video. how does the Camera know which person that you want in focus.
+Daboe you can use the touchscreen to select or switch to manual focus for full control
Hey Grant, I run a soccer channel mostly freekicks. How can I get the focus to be on the whole screen and not just moving objects?
+SoccerSt.Ave What I would tend to do would pick a point of focus and lock the focus or use manual focus. Cheers
Thanks Grant; very clear methodical presentation which was easy to absorb. Looking forward to getting my 80D and doing some video clips in Oz.

Great TUTORIAL but i hear sound drrerrddreerdd when the autofocus workt. Is that normale?
great video, thank you. subbed & liked!
How is video stabilization for this camera...and battery life?
This camera doesn’t have in body image stabilization, only some lenses have image stabilization. The battery life however is amazing. Almost 1,000 shots per battery life.
Thanks it's great information for canon d80
finally a true helpful video. thanks.
Thank you for the Video. Just picked up my 80D and realized that my quality wasn't as good as others but was using manual.
About to head to Sydney and do my 2nd ever travel vlog so will try these settings.
I'm a beginner and just purchased the cannon 80d. What additional recommendations do you suggest? I'll be using the camera for recording basketball games, vloging, action pictures and videos
Jachi Lens depends on your budget but I highly recommend you to get a great sd card and a good microphone as the rode videomicro as it is really small and lightweight! If you can afford a way to stabilize your camera, look it up on RUclips for a cheap but good way to do so. Also, with the 80d, consider having a wide angle lens as it has a crop sensor (does a magnification of 1.6x ,so a 100mm lens becomes a 160mm.)
u must need a tripod, prime lens(50mm),vloging gear
Get an sd card with at least U3 class, that has a wirtespeed at least 80mb/s
Hi Is canon 80D compatible with Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens. Will it be possible to use all the autofocus AF features of camera on this lens for taking photos and videos ?
Yes
Great video Grant.
Can You start recording video by using main shutter button?
Or You need to press this little thing on the back?
Button on the back
Grant Johnston Thank You
Hi Grant. How do I turn off the Camera WiFi, it took me along time to get it to work with my android, now it works but I cant turn it off to operate the time lapse mode.
Nice .
Have anyone find a good source which explains the differences between ntsc and pal?

Any answer to my Q is appreciated. I use Canon 80D with 18-200mm kit lens and 1.8f 50mm prime lens. I cannot achieve 'sharp' image or video with both lenses. I usually set IOS at 1600 as I usually shoot indoors. Is it because of too high ISO? How much ISO is recommended? How much ISO is usually used by RUclipsrs?
ISO1600 might be pushing it with the 80D, I always try and shoot as low a ISO as possible, I shoot indoors with the 80D at iso320-400
