    Hi Peter! I just got this camera, and I’m a new KZreadr. I basically know nothing about cameras, (I just learned how to shoot 120 fps from you) hehe. I just wanted to say that out of all those people out there who are making videos about this camera, you’re the best of them, AND IM WAITING MORE VIDEOS ABOUT THIS CAMERA FROM YOU!! Best of luck peter, great job.

    Hello, I have an issue with the LCD display on my Canon M6. The setup is like this: M6 is on a Ronin gimbal, and via Hollyland wireless it is sending video from the camera to Microsoft Teams. The problem is that the LCD on the camera is black, so the cameraman can't see what he is filming. At the same time, the video is broadcasted in Microsoft Teams. The solution that I need is how to have the camera display on when filming? Which setting has to be modified on the camera? Thank you in advance for the reply.

Quick question would you happen to know if there is a setting where I can shoot in 4k but output a video feed to an external field monitor attached to the camera via HDMI at 1080p? The reason is that my field monitor max's out at 1080p. I know I know upgrade... but I have what I have and im just trying to use what I already own. Thanks in advance. Anthony

    Thanks for your videos Peter, whenever I've had an issue using my M6 mark ii, it's usually been one of your videos that I've ended up watching to fix it. I film myself on camera, for youtube, so I usually have to use AF. Sometimes the white balance appears to change noticeably while filming when there have been no changes in the lighting, it's as if someone has suddenly turned another light on or upped the power to the light, everything just goes whiter. I'm using custom white balance, but AF. Could this be the AF causing this issue do you think, or is it the M6 overheating, which is what I've come to think from finding another thread where someone has mentioned a similar issue. Cheers :-)

  • @faspete2nd

    @faspete2nd

    2 жыл бұрын

    Well that's unfortunate. I have not run into that issue with my camera. Custom white balance has been solid for me with no shifting of color. To be honest, I'm not sure what could be causing the issue on your model. Double check that you are setting the white balance properly and if the problem continues to occur I would try to contact Canon support. Maybe your rendition has an issue like the other person. Wish I had more for you. Sorry.

    @@faspete2nd Thanks Peter! I'm having a guess that this is due to filming for longer periods in 4K, as it seems to have happened after several minutes of filming, probably at the point that the camera would have shut itself off for overheating, before the firmware update. I'm going to go back to filming in 1080p as I've made the decision that filming in 4k is overkill anyway, for YT (I checked analytics and a very small % of users are watching my videos on TV, most smartphone or computer). So hopefully that will solve it. Thanks :-)
