So helpful! I shot 2 entire jobs with strobes with exposure simulation on and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Thank you for taking time to teach this!
Yea I try. It doubles in subs every new camera canon releases. I know the guys at Canon Finland. You see the reality tv show pilot I shot. It’s almost funded for a full season.
I cannot tell you how wonderfully informative this tutorial has been to me .. I'veben shooting Canon since my art college days way back in 1965 .. I now own this fabulous Canon EOS R5 and I'm completely blown away by it's super high resolution and quality of each image file .. I am truly blessed .. Now to save up for RF glass .. Nightmare ...
@@DanielWhiteWithCanon - Well done for your great work Daniel. You certainly knock this tutorial nail on the head. Keeping it simple and concise. It’s maybe time for me to part with my 5D3 & 5D4! Thank you once again!
Amazing! I learned something Extremely useful in the first 90 seconds of this video. I currently have/use an EOS Rebel T6 camera. I knew of the existence of the dioptric knob, and I knew it was used for sharpening the view in the OVF. What I didn't realize was, that it was designed to be used without glasses. I have had my T6 for just about 2 months now and I have been fighting with my glasses every single time i pick up my camera. Now I can slip my glasses up on my head and get right into the OVF without jamming them into my nose. Or better yet, I can slip my glasses down just a tiny little bit and look over the top of my glasses as I look through the OVF. Then if I need to review the photo all I have to do is pull back a few inches and look down at the back panel display. Thank you Daniel for sharing the gem of information. It has made my love of photography just a little bit easier. .
Hi Daniel, I cannot find a link to the settings for the R5 as you mention in this video. Can you provide me with a link please? Otherwise, it's a great tutorial and I learned a lot about setting my camera up. Thank you.
Hi , thank you for the useful video. I got a question and been looking for the solution for while. I can’t see the different of DOF in live screen nor live view finder. Even though I change to small F stop but it’s seem to showing only Shallow dof only on the screen. So the dof is showing different result of after shot and live view. How can I fix it ?
I just got my R5 and when I look thru the viewfinder or back screen there is a black edges in a circle like shape, like vignettes? How to I get rid of this? Great video, definitely saving it. Thank you.
Great video! I learned so much. I tried the link for the FREE EOS R6 Menu Reference Guide but it is not working. Could you please post a new link? Thank you.
The professional photographer camera 📸 some clarification other comments also required for me to decide for purchasing , either I go for Soni after 20 year ?
Hi Daniel note after upgrading the firmware to 4.0 I am not able to activate the histogram when shooting can you check on that Or make a new updated Video. Please
There is a chance that the update messed with your settings and deselected the histogram as an option when cycling through the info options. I would go and see what you have specifically selected to pop up and then come back if it is still a problem.
Love your videos. Thank you Question: When shooting in portrait mode, how can i get the exposure information and camera settings on the back screen to rotate to vertical like it does in the viewfinder ? Both the liveview and the settings? Thanks
I'm not sure why my Canon R5 menu differs from your menu. I'm assuming that there were changes in the two years since this was made. Anxiously waiting for my manual to arrive. Remember the days when they gave you one after spending thousands on a camera?
It would seem that the lens electronic manual focus (magnify) feature is not compatible when AF mode is set to facial tracking? I have also noticed that the manual focus is a little sluggish to catch up on my 70-200mm (going too far makes a squeaking noise!). Still learned some new tricks-thanks for sharing!
Morning from New Mexico... is it possible on the r5 to have the view finder not go black when engaging the shutter button, allowing you to still see what you are taking a photo of? Now, when I engage the shutter, the view finder screen goes black and after shutter is finished the image comes back? thank you... OBG
My view finder doesn’t show anything at all it just remains black… is this normal? are we just not able to look the the view finder eye? or is there an error with my camera?
when shooting in manual mode in the studio, my viewfinder goes dark when I half press the button to focus and shoot. How do I switch that off so I can see the subject? it only does it in manual mode, not in A or T
Is there a way to turn off/hide the level but keep the histogram on the display? I never use the level and find it gets in the way, but love the histogram.
I don’t have my camera on me for the weekend but info info info or there is an option in what I believe is the wrench number 4 or 5 that you can select what is shown when you toggle the settings. I have demonstrated this many times in the VF videos so there is a good chance you have already found the answer :)
Focus Distance Display - You mentioned the unit is "feet or manual" but I believe the unit of measure is "feet" or "meters" as in standard vs metric. Am I interpreting that incorrectly?
Hello Daniel, thank you very much. May I ask you 2 questions: first one does R5 eyepiece have an internal cover to stop extraneous light entering the rear of the camera whilst doing long exposures? Secondly as a landscape photographer we were often advised to turn off the image stabilisation (IS) but now we have (IS) in the lens and camera body. What would you advise? For it was said that (IS) goes haywire when switched - on and placed on a tripod. I thank you in advance for your time on this matter...
Hi Allan I have no idea about the first question but I imagine there would be no need for a cover since the sensor and the Viewfinder are 100% separate compartments. There’s no physical connection between the two spaces. And to answer your second question yes turning if the IS on the lens will turn off the ibis and is still recommended when using a tripod.
Hey @Allan Davies, the cover you're talking about was required in DSLRs because in a long exposure light could've easily leaked from the viewfinder, inside was a pentaprism glass connected to the area above the sensor. With the mirrorless cameras such as Canon R5/R6 instead of a pentaprism inside the viewfinder, it's just an electronic display that's not optically connected with the sensor area, so no chance of light leakage from viewfinder in a long exposure. Hence no cover is required.
hey very cool video!!! thank you for that ... can you perhaps help me with a small issue regarding R5? for some reason all my videos from r5 having a letterbox already ... do you know how to turn it off in side the camera?
@@DancersDiary by default, and due to the nature of the way the camera handles video, the ratio is automatically 16:9, so it is essentially letterboxed. If you were looking to shoot video in 4:3 for example, I don't think you can do that in camera.
You dial the diopter in with your glasses ON, This guy hasn’t a clue about it. You don’t need to use the camera without your glasses, as he states. That would be crazy.
So helpful! I shot 2 entire jobs with strobes with exposure simulation on and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Thank you for taking time to teach this!
for a geezer, ah that would be me, your calm, slow, and deliberate delivery of facts is a godsend; grazie; keep up the good work amigo
How did I stumble across your channel randomly? You’re doing something right dude

Hi, Jan I am glad the video helped you out. I definitely feel where you are coming from on the RF glass. It is very spendy.

That is awesome! So glad to hear it helped you out so much.
Just the video I needed, since the camera hasn't been used yet. You explain everything perfectly!
Why thank you
I got my R5 a few months ago and its great - this was very helpful. Thanks
Glad it helped!
I own r5 still learning ,you are also part of the stuff
Why thank you.
Excellent advice and video! Helpful, clear and just awesome. Thanks.
Thanks for the informational video. I'm one of the few "R"-shooters that uses the control ring as you, with it set to change the AF Method.
So good I used the tips then came back for more information & adjustments!
This was incredibly helpful and informative.
Glad it helped you out!
You just sold me on the R5ii which I'm sure will be very similar to the R5, GREAT information THANK YOU!!!
thank you, very helpful all the settings, i had i few didn,t know thanks to make it clear
Hi Daniel,
I cannot find a link to the settings for the R5 as you mention in this video. Can you provide me with a link please? Otherwise, it's a great tutorial and I learned a lot about setting my camera up. Thank you.
Very useful. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Hey everyone thanks for watching don't forget to pick up the free guide to the r5 menu systems! www.danielwhitecourses.com/copy-of-eos-r-guide
Very helpful video for a new R5 owner. Unfortunately your links no longer work. Is there a new URL that we can use to access the guide?
Thank you!!!!! i just my camera yesterday!!! very good video
Why thank you!
Hi Daniel thanks for the video, the link you had to the shortcuts doesnt seem to be working?
Excellent video! Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial, thanks a lot for sharing... Switching soon, finally, from 5d Mark IV to R5, this was very helpful! 👍🏻
Glad it helped you out!
Thanks for the great tipps!
You are very welcome!
Nice one, Daniel :)
Why thank you.
thanks for this, informative and well presented, appreciate the time and effort
You are very welcome Joseph. I am glad the video helped you out. Thanks for the comment :)
Very helpful thank you
Hey Danny! So glad you enjoy it and found it helpful. Thanks for the comment :)
Excellent video.One of the recent firmware upgrades means that in order to view the histogram on the screen exposure simulation must be enabled !
I feel like that shouldn’t be a thing but I haven’t been keeping up to date I have been running a reality show 😅
Brilliant, how much grief could I have saved, by watching this before some of the other videos.
Hi Robert glad this helped you out!
Excellent tips, thank you

Do you know if R5 has an electronic level?
nice video! thx
Glad you liked it!
Dan Can you do a Vid on Canon Mirrorless Lenses you are very helpful
I can try. Is there anything specific you are looking to learn about the lenses?
I love the touch and drag AF on the screen but I shoot with my left eye and my nose has a habit of choosing a new AF point for me haha
I just got my R5 and when I look thru the viewfinder or back screen there is a black edges in a circle like shape, like vignettes? How to I get rid of this? Great video, definitely saving it. Thank you.
Glad it helped you out! And the vignettes might be your lens the 50mm 1.8 has it and many other lenses too usually consumer level.
Very helpful. I do not see the links to the quick guides mentioned at the 12:50 mark of the video.
Thanks!

Good video, thanks.
Hey Paul! Glad the video helped out. Thanks for the comment :)
Hi Daniel Question please-how do I take the camera away from having a black viewfinder. It only becomes lighter if I make the shutter speed slower
The professional photographer camera 📸 some clarification other comments also required for me to decide for purchasing , either I go for Soni after 20 year ?
hello is it ok to follow these settings for R5C. i am new to mirrorless
Hi Daniel note after upgrading the firmware to 4.0 I am not able to activate the histogram when shooting can you check on that

The focus range controled by the aperture is not reflected correctly in the view finder can we fix that?
Found the solution was to set the digital sound out to pcm not auto not pass through

Hi, Rickey that is just how they are. It needs to read the sensor for a moment and that is why it goes black.
@@DanielWhiteWithCanon Thank you.... Rickey
My view finder doesn’t show anything at all it just remains black… is this normal? are we just not able to look the the view finder eye? or is there an error with my camera?
You are able to turn the VF off completely. I just don’t remember where the option is.
But do try pressing info a few times.
when shooting in manual mode in the studio, my viewfinder goes dark when I half press the button to focus and shoot. How do I switch that off so I can see the subject? it only does it in manual mode, not in A or T
Is there a tutorial on eye focus settings?
I don't have one since the eye focus is on point out of the box for most users. Did you have a specific question?
Is there a way to turn off/hide the level but keep the histogram on the display? I never use the level and find it gets in the way, but love the histogram.
I don’t have my camera on me for the weekend but info info info or there is an option in what I believe is the wrench number 4 or 5 that you can select what is shown when you toggle the settings.

Is it also in Cannon R5 ?
What I'm wondering about is why your audio is not synced with your video.
Perhaps it's just my version of misspelling a word in a meme to get more engagement🤷♂️
Focus Distance Display - You mentioned the unit is "feet or manual" but I believe the unit of measure is "feet" or "meters" as in standard vs metric. Am I interpreting that incorrectly?
I believe I misspoke. So yes I meant to say meters.

how to disable and enable canon R 5 viewfinder and screen
Less than 3 months in and my viewfinder has a stuck pixel on the R5 :(
Ow sorry to hear that.

5:07 feet or Meters, not manual.

You dial the diopter in with your glasses ON, This guy hasn’t a clue about it. You don’t need to use the camera without your glasses, as he states. That would be crazy.
I wear glasses and contacts. And I prefer shooting with out glasses on. I like my eye up close on the view finder.
I shoot my 5D MK IV and older cameras with my glasses on but I have come to prefer shooting my R5 without my glasses.
Great delivery! Excellent! Thank you for sharing
Fantastic video, thanks!
Hi H Tood! Glad you enjoyed the video hope it helped :)
Nice tips! Btw is there a way that I can use a quick shortcut button to turn off or on the EVF viewing to the LCD Only?
Custom settings tab at the end is as good as it gets.
@@DanielWhiteWithCanon man I wish there was a quick button we could programme , like my X-T3 has a button at the EVF 😅
I have my "Record" button set to change from EVF to back screen and vice versa.
