I gotta say you did help break down lots of confusion while I dove into convention shooting and filming . Only thing is to maybe slow down a little : even with camera open it was hard keeping up with doing what you advised . Thanks though
I will test it out tomorrow after adjusting to your video on the settings. I do more railway photos, but spotted 6 of the 289 photos with distortions. Also I like to get a Lens 24-300 or like wise.
How do you save presets? Looked everywheres. Read somewhere that you can save them. Easier for going from daytime shooting to astronomy images at night
Great video and thank you. Just some constructive criticism from an absolute beginner. The distinction you made between one shot and servo was quite unclear. Seemed like basically the same thing but I’m guessing not in reality.
Hey Andy, thank you so much for your explanation. How can I stream with the camera without having to record? I used a Sony before and I just started the video and it was working like that.
Thank you for the video, it was really informative and clear! I have a question: is it possible to create and save presets (ISO, aperture, and exposure) for quick access later on, like shortcuts? For instance, having one preset for low-light environments and another for bright conditions?
So happy you liked it! You'll want to look up custom shooting modes, I believe the R50 let's you register 3 different ones (like most Canon cameras). With this you can setup presets like that.
you are the best, I have a doubt, when I want to take photos in HDR format they are saved in HIF format (not HEIF), and my computer can not convert them, neither can Adobe Converter, or lightroom, or photoshop, maybe some program where I can convert these photos from “HIF” format to DNG, or JPG?
On the R5 there is a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" where there's a sliding scale. On the low end of the scale -3 is "Locked On" where the focus will track the face no matter who else appears in the frame. On the Canon R50 there isn't a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity". Is there an equivalent setting that locks focus on the person you tap regardless of who else enters the frame?
Nice manual! Please tell me, can you take photos without a lens? I want to use an adapter and some old glass lenses. Of course, you have to focus manual...I know.
I no longer have a R50 in my hands but from a search in the manual there should be an option in the settings for "Enable Release Shutter w/o lens." in the C.Fn3 menu.
I also bought the Canon R50 with the 18-45 mm lens but the lens cannot be completely retracted so it cannot reach the completely closed original position. I don't know if my description was understandable but is that normal or is my lens broken.
From what I recall it had a notch that gave it some resistance to go back to the original state, so maybe twist slightly harder (it didn't take too much). If that doesn't work I would call Canon.
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful. I'm thinking of buying this camera, but I have a question: when you are recording a video, will the video have audio (without buying an additional mic) ?
Thanks for the video, definitely learned some things. But… what I really need help with nobody seems to be able to tell me. I’m a beginner with photography but take hundreds of shots a day to sell clothes and other items on eBay. I got this camera in hopes of eliminating a problem I was having with iPhone but have the same issue. When I take a photo of a shirt for example from 1.5m, 70cm, 20cm away, the colour constantly changes and gets brighter and brighter. So I end up with 6 photos of the same item that are all a different colour! 🤬 How the heck do I stop this from happening? Is there some way to lock the exposure or brightness or something so the item stays the same colour regardless of how far away I am standing from it? Please help!🙏🏻
How to use HDR PQ enabled such that you get 10 bit colors, but convert it to SDR Rec.709 in editing tool (davinci for example) by preserving those 10 bit colors to edit with ?
Depends on your use case, personally I don’t see much reason to shoot both since always want to edit my photos. But I could see it being useful if you have plenty of storage and want to just use pictures and occasionally edit, jpg alone is a good choice in that regard too.
@@AndyFeliciotti yeah, in my case I would like to learn more about post (I have been playing with Lightroom lately) but I would also like to have a JPG ready if I want to share it with a friend in that moment
How can i do timelapse with this camera?. In my other camera, a canon T6, i use a control conected to a jack on the side. This one had nothin but usb, hdmi and mic ports. Is there some kind of wireless control?
can you also help me to choose which lens I should buy? I want to buy the Canon R50, but I don't know which lens I should buy. I need to do manly photos to my family.. so for example to a person (bokeh effect) or to group of persons. Which one of these lens you recommend to me? 1) CANON RF-S 55-210MM F5-7.1 IS STM 2) Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM 3) CANON RF 24MM F1.8 MACRO IS STM 4) Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM
If you need bokeh I would put the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM high on your list. After that maybe the 24MM as well. The Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will be great for so many use cases but of course will have less blur. Hope this helps!
@@AndyFeliciotti Ok thanks, but I didn't understand only a thing.. if I buy the RF 50mm .. I can also do photos to group of persons (3-20) or the usage of this lens is specific only for bokeh effect?
@@domenico1023 3-20 people you’ll have to be pretty far back with the 50mm, remember you can always walk further away from your subject to capture more. With a group that big the 24mm or 35mm are probably better choices.
I want to get a dummy battery for my new R50 camera. So far, I got one from Amazon and it doesn't work. come to find out, the electrical contact are a little too far away from the end of the case therefore the camera contacts can reach them. do you know of one that actually works? That's the one I want, thanks.
Was it an official Canon branded one? I have one for my R5 and it works fine. I haven’t tried one for the R50. I believe you can also just plug the camera in via usb c to power it also.
It really depends on what you shot, I love prime lenses so I would think about the 24mm prime or 16mm prime. I also haven’t tried all of the RF-S lenses.
Hi anybody give me guidance.. recently I bought a canon EOS R50, so when I take a photoshoot in the screen the image looks normal after checking the gallery I'm showing like *mirroring image* so how to fix this issue? Are there any options in the camera mirror on or off anytime else?
Thanks Andy, I just purchased a R50 that should be arriving today or tomorrow. Got a great deal on the kit brand new for less than 700$. I’ve watched multiple videos and yours was very practical, good info. Subscribing 🤙
Hi, i'd like to know, how can i protect my R50's sensor?, cus it's always expossed. I was waching other video where someone use the sensor cleaning option in a R5 just to dropp the courtain for protection, but i haven't fount where's it located.
Hey Oliver, the R50 doesn’t have the curtain option like the R5. Anytime you change a lens I would just recommend making sure that the you do it quickly and keep the camera facing down to prevent particles from getting on the sensor.
@@AndyFeliciotti I've been shooting HDR PQ in 24P. The only hassle is that every time I switch the camera off, it defaults to 30P settings. I only just got the camera so I'll eventually figure it out - hopefully before I throw it in the tall grass in frustration.
@@paolo.kernahan Are you shooting in a custom video mode? You have to register the settings likely if that's the case. If you are using something like manual that is very odd it should stay persistant.
Your video mode is likely in PAL depending on what country you bought the camera. You can switch the video system in the settings. Or are you commenting specifically on 30fps vs 29.97?
I’ve noticed my r50 timer doesn’t last past 15 seconds I’m always having to reset ? Any logical reason why? (Am I missing something in the settings possibly)?
@@AndyFeliciotti yes.. while recording I know it has up to 1hr or record time but my camera was cutting off every 15 and I couldn’t find the setting to adjust it

I gotta question
Is it ok to adjust all these settings on every mode on the camera or these are all just for manual and A+ mode ?
On the R5 there is a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity" where there's a sliding scale. On the low end of the scale -3 is "Locked On" where the focus will track the face no matter who else appears in the frame. On the Canon R50 there isn't a setting called "Movie Servo AF Tracking Sensitivity". Is there an equivalent setting that locks focus on the person you tap regardless of who else enters the frame?
