WOW just got my r6 mk2 & this is an awesome tutorial,thank you.

We just got the R6 MKII and it's incredible but it's even better thanks to this tutorial. Thanks for making this beast easy to understand. 💪

Just bought my R6Mii today and I feel 100% confident for my first shoot with it!!! Thank you so much for a completely in-depth video with so much good information and knowledge.

Thank you so much and makes the learning curve so much faster. Love my Canon R6 Mark II!

This video was so helpful! Thank you so much for all this info, greatly appreciated!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to record!

Fantastic video, thank you so much. Just waiting for my R6 Mark II to arrive.

This is the most helpful video!! Bestest of the best! THANK YOU

Thanks very much. I had the R6 for a couple of years before changing yesterday to the mark ii. Your video taught me two things for which I am very grateful: 1 how to turn off that annoying display whenever the mode was changed and 2, that my much beloved Q menu is still available (and I’ve since discovered how to enable it)!

thank you Jason I really appreciated watching your video cheers Geraldine from New Zealand

Outstanding video, thank you for taking the time to record it. My R6MII arrives in a few days and I learned a ton from the video. My only minor suggestion for future videos (or captioning this one if you wanted) was to tell users what features do NOT affect the raw captures. For example, Picture Styles, and WB (custom or otherwise) have no effect on the raw. So It's kind of useful for those of us shooting 100% raw to know what options in the menus we can ignore. But otherwise, I was a fantastic video and I plan to want your others on this camera. Again, thank you!

Great video. I've just received my R6 Mk II and, while I'm an experienced Canon user, I found it really helpful. Many thanks.

I have had this camera since it released and have yet to use it with a client because I am so used to my 5D MarkIV controls and kept hitting the wrong buttons so I wasn't comfortable using it at a paid shoot. This walk through showed me how to adjust settings to make it more like my IV! Is there anyway to turn off the option #4 in "screen info settings"? I really just want it to be #5, but it has 4 grayed out so I cannot deselect it. Also, any help on how to update firmware when Canon does not have my newest mac update listed?

@Jason_Hermann

Hey there, and yeah I have been enjoying the Canon cameras for sure and I do prefer there color science when it comes to human skin tones and I also prefer the ergonomics over Sony. However, I still prefer the Sony sensor, because they have more dynamic range and more capable video features. I also prefer the way the Sony autofocus system works and I find it easier to use overall with more sharp shots. Sony's focus works better with humans and Canons actually works better with wildlife believe it or not. It's very strange how that can be, but it is true. If I were to get a Canon it would probably be the R5 Mark II when it comes out, because the R6 Mark II is not as good overall as my A7IV for the way I like to use the camera. Plus Canon needs way more lens options! With that being saif Canon is pumping out some great cameras and they are catching up to Sony really fast! In fact the current flagship Canon R3 could be the best camera for wildlife photography ever made to date it's so good...

AWESOME User-guide Jason! This hekps lot of people who don't like to read, but learn from the video is much faster and easier. One question: Canon did not include "Sensor hot/stuch pixel remap" function, did they? I requested that feature since digital cameras suffer dead pixels over time, but Canon never gave a response. Panasonic did implement that in some cameras which is great to hide the dead pixels. Please let me know if Canon did it this time. Thank you so much!

Great helpful video. I just received mine today. Upgrading from a 5D MkIV. My first impression was “is this broken?

It is really unnerving 😅

How would you set the auto focus when taking group photos so that it doesn't focus on just 1 face out of 5-6

@Jason_Hermann

7 ай бұрын

For that you would need to increase the depth of field a bit by raising the aperture number to like f/5.6 or something for example. Then focus normally on the center persons face in the group lets say and you should be good to go. The higher aperture number will make it so more stuff is sharp from front to back. The focus will insure where that sharpness "range" starts. This is known as depth of field. With larger groups I always raise the aperture up to make sure everyone is sharp front to back...

why doesn't my green light come on when I plug in my r6II via USB C type cable?

Hi Jason, thank you for putting this video out - its been super handy for getting better acquainted with my first camera! Quick question in regards to the manual focus setting. When I am in MF mode, the linear MF bar is stuck at the infinaty symbol and no matter how much I turn the focus ring, the slider will not move from the infinaty symbol and my subject never comes into focus. Is there perhaps a setting I need to enable to fix this or is the focus ring on my lens faulty? Thanks again!

I have worked in professional photography and with many other photographers in Canada for over 18 years and we all called it a lens shade not a hood.
