I'm about to do a similar video for the EOS R5. One thing that really would help is if Canon would allow us to save configurations so you can pull them up later. When I got my second EOS R5 it would have been so much easier to clone settings from one camera to the other. I know this ability exists with the Canon 1D series bodies and with as customizable as the new R-series bodies are in I really hope Canon makes this 'cloning' feature available, I've been asking for it since the 5D Mk4.

Super informative! Thank you, Vanessa.

Nice insight into how a wedding photographer would have their camera set. 14:25 surprised you enabled Continuous AF since you go on to mention choosing certain settings to save battery life. Enabling that setting makes the AF constantly hunt even when you aren't doing anything.

You can turn off continual AF and set the AF to back button (AF-ON) autofocus. That's what I do and always use continuous AF. Once I've locked AF for a still subject, I just release the button

Thanks for doing this Vanessa, I found it very useful. I followed along with my camera as you went over the settings in the menus. After I received my camera, I updated the firmware to 1.1.1 and watched your video; there were a few differences between your video and what my camera displayed, but not many. I stumbled across something that may be a useful shrortcut. If menu is selected, and you roll the Quick control dial 2 back and forth, it scrolls through the top level tabs, and it shows where I last left it. For example, I regularly format the SD cards after I've uploaded everything. So, when I roll over to the wrench tab, it's right where I left it "wrench-1-Format card". All I have to do is press the set button, and I'm off to format the cards in turn.

The R6 uses both the processor and algorithms from the pro-sports 1D X Mark III body, and Canon say the tracking may be even better. The camera also provides the same AF configuration settings, which lets you select a 'Case' that describes the movement of your subject. These include an 'Auto' case that it supposed to adapt to the subject you're shooting as it detects its movement.

Brendan this is so weird but all of your comments are only now showing up years later!!

Just a heads up. There is a current issue with IBIS and the fully mechanical shutter (only) where shots have vertical blurring at a shutter speed of 1/100. Canon have acknowledged this and will release a fix in a firmware update. For now it is best to use electronic first curtain until fixed. I also use the AWB-W (white) setting to give more colour consistency over a set of images.

Maybe those options intentionally show up with some lenses and not others? I don't know, but I now see the "hand" in the lower left corner of the viewfinder, so I assume it's working.

Hey Vanessa ! I have been watching multiple different custom setup vids to see what would work best for me. Do you always keep your AF set to servo and face detection?
