Thank you for this video! I just received my R8 today and can’t wait to unbox it and fire it up so your quick instructions on initial setup is just what I needed!
Just got my R8 and was afraid to touch it ! its my first pro camera and thanks to your video i know the minimal basics to take some photos and videos awesome work man keep it Up 👍👍 Edit: switching to view your long beginners guide for this camera
You have to open the lens like I showed in the video as it has a closed position so it's more compact. To set the time you need to go here: cam.start.canon/en/C013/manual/html/UG-08_Set-up_0080.html
I never used that lens myself, but it is very affordable and has a fast f/1.8 aperture which is great for lower light situations and for portraits, because you can get some nice background blur. It is more limiting, because it is only 50mm, but that style of lens does have a purpose. For versatility it is not as good, but for a portrait style shot I would much prefer the 50mm f/1.8 lens as an example...
HI we love your videos- can you PLEASE tell us HOW to download photos and videos from the SONY ZV1 camera to our Lenovo Thinkpad- HOW do you do it? Do we plug in the USB cable to theSOny ZV1 and to the Laptop Thinkpad and it comes on and shows you the files on the screen of the laptop? Do you click on 'G' drive on the laptop to put the downloaded photos there? ( I am not referring to this cannon camera you are showing here, but the SONY ZV1 camera we have llike the one you showcased in vieos and how to use it. I am typing this question HERE so you SEE IT and can help US, PLEASE! THANK YOU ASAP!
You can connect the USB cable to the camera and computer and copy the files to your computer. Or remove the SD card from the camera and plug into a card reader and plug the reader Into your computer
I currently have a Canon 600D DSLR which I intended to use way more than I actually have. I didn’t really progress from auto mode (shame on me). Is this a good upgrade? Will it be too complicated for me to get to grips with? Would I notice a difference in photo quality? Thanks in advance.
Hey! Can the canon R8 compete with the Sony a7iii? Would it be worth buying it over the Sony a7iii? Which should I buy canon r8 or sony a7iii? Answer me!
Yes it can compete and its a tuff call in some respects, but I would still go with the A7 III at this time, specifically because Sony has so many more lenses to choose from compared to Canon. Canon is catching up though ;)
Great guide! You always make the best ones.
Thanks :)

What would be the benefit of turning the stabiliser off?
Saving battery life as it's not needed on a tripod for example.
Just hot this camera. How do i go back to the set time. I had to have done something wrong because it tell me to position lens to shooting position

Thank you for this video! Just got this camera! 😊 but I got rf 50mm f1.8 lens, what is your opinion about this lens? Is it better? Thank you! 😊

Anyone know if you have to turn off power to switch between picture and video mode on the R8? Thanks for video, I learned a lot.
No you don’t…

Can you go over how to connect to your computer as a webcam?
I'll see what I can do ;)
@Jason_Hermann OK I have a mirror less Canon R8
Nice guide, thank you! Is there a way to turn off the screen while taking photos? I just wanted it to show me the image after I have taken it
Sir, Pls Tell about Hot Shoe.
Godex TT -685 Flash can I use directly
I don't know for sure, but it looks like the model with a C is made for Canon. Maybe reach out to Godox?
tank you
Great video
Hi there. Is the M-zuiko lense can fit in here?
Which lens? This is an RF-S Mount camera, so you would need lens adapters for Non RF Lenses...
Thanks. Very helpful

I got a different charger
That is weird, but sometimes manufactures change things up...
Sub! Thanks for this!
Welcome!
Customization in Canon cameras is practically nonexistent, for everything you need to dive in to menu.
It's actually very powerful and I cover it in the Beginners Guide here: ruclips.net/video/7WZ68sCYuJA/видео.html
Thank you!! This is so helpful.
