This is what I call the perfect tutorial for 1st time owners of an R8 camera - thank you so much - I could follow along and it taught me everything I needed to know up to this point!!

Please make a crash course for r8. This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial online that I have watched. Thanks for all your efforts man!

Second that. I will purchase your crash course for R8!

The timing of this is impeccable. The R8 just arrived. Oh, and thanks!!!

Glad to have found this video.. I bought the R8 and am already enjoying it,, but it's also the first camera I've put my hands on since the Rebel xt years ago.. so many 'things' now.

Hi Michael, I've been doing photography for couple of years now using my Canon 25mk4 and I just realised I missed a lot of informations of using the camera after after watching this whole video. I knew were talking EOS R8 here but the fundamental functions are very similar. The explanations and illustrations were very in details wherein average persons can grasp with it. I am very thankful that I found this tutorial and keep the good work and please keep sharing your knowledge and skills in photography. By the way my EOS R8 is due for delivery next week.... all the best Michael :)

Hello Michael. This was an extremely helpful video! I just switched from my old 450D to the R8, and that is a BIG difference. I found your tutorial and it really helped me out a lot. And yes sir... I am interested in the crash course video! Thanks again for sharing your wisdom! Regards Michael

Hands down one of best tutorial videos of a camera I’ve seen

Great video, thank you for the walkthrough and the lense recommendations!

thank you :) i have recently upgraded from my old nikon d5000 to canon r8 and this is helping me figure out all the controls. especially understanding all the focus settings and how to customize them - i was struggling to get it how i liked, but this is going to help me experiment and set it up to my liking

Thank you, great lesson from a true beginner. Just brought the r8 three days ago and never owned a camera before 👍🏾

Thank you for making this video. I just got. mine in this week. Great start.

The video was very detailed. It's something I will go back to. Thanks for putting this together. .

I’ve just bought a R8 and your tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!

I'm new to Canon from Sony and I felt lost, this video was tremendously useful for getting me back in control, thank you very much!

Great video. Canon should pay you and include this video to all new buyers! I'm familiar with canon cameras in general from years with my 7D MkII and I've become interested in upgrading to either the Canon R6, R6 MkII, or R8, but I wanted to see how the controls would work with a non-joystick and no rear rotating dial body. It has been a very long time since I used a canon body without a joystick or rear rotating dial and I love them. I'm a little hesitant to change my muscle memory and work flow, but it looks like the adjustments are pretty easy without them on the R8.

Thank you for this video, it really helps and you’re a great teacher! 👌 ✅

This is a great tutorial! Thank you.

Great video, I learned a lot. Many thanks!!

Yes please🙂 Just purchased Canon R8 and this video really helped

Thank you very much for this thorough tutorial.

It is an excellent lesson I learned. Not only learning to set up my Canon r8 camera but also rich knowledge of photography

Highly Recommended!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial ❤

Fantastic tutorial

Thank you for this video, I'm the beginner and R8 is my first camera.

Best overview I’ve found. Thanks!

Thank u Sir great content great teaching thanks again🙏🏻

This was very helpful

Thanks for this video. Would be interested in the R8 crash course.

King video.

Awesome! First video to show that the d pad can be set to move the af points. I've asked in the comments in so many reviews and got zero replies. Great work and thanks!

Great video - very helpful thank you - Me too for the crash course please!

Thank you! I just recently switched from Nikon to this CanonR8 and there was a lot to learn. I have rewatched and gone back to certain sections of this video. I would really be interested in a crash course as I'm trying to get out in the field and take imagery of upland hunting dogs, waterfowl, upland birds, etc. and would love to learn more about optimizing settings and techniques for fast-paced shooting as well as calm, picturesque landscapes and scenery.

@@velfranko Canon’s system is easier to operate and I’ve found the colors to be more accurate and rich straight out of the camera.

A camera's diopter isn't used for users with correct vision. It's used so that you do not NEED corrected vision. You can remove your eyeglasses or contacts and still the focused subject. The "trick" to using a diopter is to auto focus the camera on something "easy." The image will not be in focus *for the camera.* And then move the diopter adjustment until the image is in focus *for you.*

Thanks for the great video🙏. What are your favorite settings for underwater photography/video?

Thank you sir

Yes, R8 Crash course please!

your DVD on Advanced Photography Techniques is beside me bro . Great instruction . You also gave me a digital version of this . I use my video editor and convert it to MP4 file because every time I use this version a message appears . The file is on my laptop, the physical edition on the shelf . Be rest assured your lessons are not shared because there are other lessons out there that are better .

thanks

Thank you for the video. If you shoot at a 1.6x crop would that effect the bokeh/depth of field? Or is just a crop and still using the full sensor?

R8 crash course!

This is so helpful! I felt so lost trying to navigate this camera coming from a 6d. You've unlocked some super cool features for me and you explain things very well! Thank you for this very informative video! 🤩👏🏻

I am interested in the crash course for this camera, if you make one. Thanks for this excellent video.

I've watched all the super detailed videos you've created for Canon, Sony, and Fuji cameras. Has the time come for the...Panasonic s5ii or am I asking too much??

Question with the R8, is there a set a physical button to re-center your focus point without using the screen icon? On the RP I use the Trash button. But on the R8 I don't seem to be able to program the trash button or the re-center feature.

Sir, I am Dying to see your shootout videos where you compare 2 different cameras.. those shootout videos are awesome its such informative.. please Sir continue with latest mirrorless camera shootout videos..

At 1:14:55 why doesn't the green box stays on the focusing area after re-composing? I've playing with different modes like the SCN portrait mode. I thought i wasn't getting focusing after re-composing. So using this mode the AF detect the eyes but i need to move the square to the focusing eyes then halfpress until it turns a green box to lock and then re-compose... thanks for the video...

38:46 does the anti-flicker only work in a mechanical shutter? does the eos r8 have an automatic anti-flicker in the electronic shutter? For example, in eos r5, r6 only works in a mechanical gate..

Will they put recording on an external SSD? And does the 1080p60 recording have sensor cropping?

Hi Michael, how to connect to xt4 fuji to studio light?? It doesn't connecting. Please help!

Please do a crash course on this model!

The focus guide currently will not work with my Contax Zeiss lenses. Since the R8 thinks there is no lens, it turns ot off. Focus peaking works great. The magnify button is great for nailing focus in the EVF.

Did you do the R8 crash course? I’ve watched this tutorial 2x. I am already an advanced photographer, meaning I understand cameras, lighting, the exposure triangle, composition and basic editing. I had been shooting photos on 2 canon EOS-M5 with adapted EF lenses - great little cameras. I have recently upgraded to an R8 and I would like to know the ins and outs of this body and learn what I don’t know about this camera.

How I can use wifeless flash like Metz mecablitz 15 ms1 with EOS R8? I can’t find any information about it 😢

When I autofocus on a subject with R8, why is focusing point always moved to another subject close to me? It never happened on my Canon 90D

Crash Course for R8 PLEASE!!!

I would like the crash course and also an in depth video on video recording.

Mike!!! Can you please do a review of Pratik Naik’s pro masters retouching course I cant find a review anywhere outside of his website! I dont want to waste $200!!!

39:21 aspect ratio can cropping be done for a raw file or only for jpg?

will the 430 speedlight work on this body?

Good info that fills in some details missed by the other two how-to vids I watched. One crit: with the light background, the dark camera details you're trying to show are sometimes underexposed, especially when the subject is not filling the whole frame, due to the bright background. Placing a light background behind you may help provide some needed fill light.

Hi Gary - Im not seeing what you are describing. At what point in the video is the camera under exposed? Its possible its a monitor problem on your end. Thanks!

@@michaelandrew5209 Well, I was watching on my phone, with dirty reading glasses and a glare from the window. My 74-year-old eyes do have difficulty adjusting to bright headlights enough to see a dark road, and indeed, when I shield the bright background on either side of the camera with my hands, I can make out the details of the camera a little better. I have now reviewed your video at night on both my monitor full screen as well as on the phone, and, for example, at about 5:06, when you show how to insert the battery, it's hard to even recognize what part of the camera is shown because it's all deep shadow. At 12:15, showing the gasket labels and pins are also hard to see. In general, compared with the other how-to videos, most seem to use a much darker background. Nevertheless, the information was very helpful. Thank You for putting it together,

great video but the audio was sort of unbearable due to the heavy compression, was this an external mic?

Can you make the crash course please

Super quick question if you get a chance - I have the AF-ON button set up for back button focus so should I probably not set up the "star" button for eye focus (since I can't press both at the same time) or is the "star" button pretty much now my back button focus for portraits? As always - massive thanks.

@@junedkaka I appreciate that. The problem is much more complex. I could hypothetically get those views if I got the camera early like other KZreadrs, but because I do not participate in collaborative reviews with these camera companies my reviews are always late as I have to purchase them on my own. Because they are late, less views. Less views, doesn’t make sense to invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into them. Camera companies have cleverly learned how to flood KZread with many very early (day of announcement) & mostly positive reviews by going this route. It’s basically impossible for me to compete with them

@@MMaven i totally understand your point of view and thats the exact reason i have stopped watching any new camera reviews , coz they r not reviews they r a marketing exercise. However there might be quite a lot of ppl like me who don't buy the latest and greatest and always look for value rather than gimmicks or meaningless improvement. And for buyers like me, ur videos r the best as its a practical comparison between two likewise cameras and we can choose what catches our fancy. Primarily the color science part with models that u do also the low light focus test . I mean all your segments were fire. So relevant and sincere!!
