    Roberto, Absolutely loved this series. You got me shooting within 12 hours on my new R6 ready for my next job. Big thanks
    One correction though on the R6 Settings the Ability to set C1, C2, C3 on your M-FN button is not available. This additional operation setting is for the R5 body only.
    A shame really, but It is easily fixed by just making one of the buttons be able to scroll the Crop factor manually.
    Cheers for the tutorials You are a champion!

    Roberto, thank you a million times over for your tutorials on the R5/R6 setup menus. I just got my R6 recently. I watched many other RUclips videos on how to set up but did not get the help I was looking for or needed. When I found your channel, watched your first set up video, I KNEW that I finally found what I was looking for. Your excellent insider tips and shortcuts really helped me to understand the menus better so I could get started. I really appreciate all of the time you spent on making all of these tutorials for us along with keeping it easy to understand for those of us who are technically challenged! Thank you so much!!!!

    Great information from Roberto about the menu system and explaining why he has changed some of the default setting.

      it is a great camera. I happen to own the r5 now. I can tell you, the autofocus is a true gamechanger for wildlife and Persons! For still objects im not as compelled yet, as I have just tried to take some close ups and the servo af did not want to focus properly at close range. With manual focus I could get much closer to the object - which Is why I watch this video to put different autofocus settings into custom function settings.

Since you said you didn't know why you would want that I just thought you might find that interesting. These are great videos thanks you very much for this.

    About 25 years ago I took the focusing screens out of my film cameras and scratched lines on them to show the 4x5 (8x10) crop area in my viewfinders. I did a lot of weddings back then and had to be careful and keep what I needed inside that boundary. So many features in these cameras, it's just great.

    Hi Roberto. Just want to first say thank you for your tutorials. They have helped me out a lot. After watching this video, I customize most of my settings very similar to yours. There is one question that I have. Towards the end of the video you talked about the camera’s cropping and aspect ratio and you have yours set to 4:3. In the video it looks like it shows you the two bars for where the 4:3 is and then just outside of those two black bars you can still see where the rest of the picture will be and it’s translucent. How did you get it to be translucent? On mine it’s still showing that it’s blacked out on those sides?

    [Release Shutter Without Lense] I have a lens through the EF to RF adapter that when connected, the camera can't read the lens settings. It's a manual focus/apperature lens so the R6 would not shoot. With this on, it takes photos just fine since the settings on the lens are manual.

    Can you tell me about in M mode
    I change shutters with wheels on top at the far end.
    and when I hold down the Star button and at the same time turn the same wheel I change the Blender.
    but a Star is lit and has managed to lower it from 8 seconds to 4.
    Is it so much easier to adjust shutter and aperture with the same wheel and not use the wheel in front.
    but why can't you turn off that star.

    Great video series. I rented both the R6 and R5 several times and ultimately decided on the R5. I frequently use lights on location and I assume you do as well. That made me wonder about your recommendation at 10:10 about switching the Safety Shift setting to ISO. That would be dangerous for me. Won't switching the Safety Shift (from OFF to ISO compensation) cause your photos to overexpose (because presumably you're often underexposing to coordinate with the lights)? Or do you just remember to disable it when you're using lights? Thanks.

    Great tutorials, Roberto. I have my AF point selection button set up, but none of the scroll wheels allow me to choose a specific AF point style. I have to use the touch screen to select the one that I want. Surely I'm missing something here? In your video, I think you were using the top scroll dial to toggle between the enabled modes. Mine doesn't control the point selection.

    so, I understand the compellingness of manual settings. Just for such things like events or weddings I usually prefer manual aperture for the looks of the foto and let the camera handle light and speed. I feel like i would otherwise miss a lot of shots if action happens quickly. Why dont you do that?

Takes away the extra step of having to use the dial.

    • @raywilliams6896
      @raywilliams6896 3 года назад +1

      Basically you are right. That's fine if you are changing the entire photo color temp. But in the case where you are using a flash the subject that is lit by the flash is going to be (at default) daylight while the rest of the scene -- thanks to inverse square law -- is going to be seen by whatever you've set the WB to. One can use this for some neat effects: say in twilight times, set your WB to Tungsten (around 3000K) and gel your flash with a CTO (Change to Orange) gel. So now you fire your flash and your subject is going to be tinted orange. But you have set your WB to tungsten (a kinda orangy light) so in post your software will see from the EXIF that you were in tungsten light and change everything to a cooler (blue) color. This brings your subject (remember it's orange from your gelled flash) back to daylight but the rest of your pic (which was out of range of the flash) gets a blue tinge and you can get some really nice sky effects.
