Glad I could help. Start watching my other videos and you will learn lots about your camera!

Good point. Downside is you are now focusing in live mode which is a bit pokey but it does give you back some control.

Thank you for that nice comment. We all started as newbies. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Papa - Thanks so much for taking a moment and letting me know. I appreciate it!

You are very welcome. Let me know if there are any other subjects you would like to see covered.

You are quite welcome. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to suggest topics for future videos/tutorials.

Thank you! Let me know if there are future topics you would like to see covered in a video tutorial.

great video, thank you....very clear and precise tutorial. I'm going to watch all your vids on the t4i and t5i.....thx again

thanks for the video! i just purchased the T4i and needed a guided tour through the functions and you provided that superbly.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS! It's very helpful keep up the good work!

Thanks - Don't hesitate to ask questions and like my facebook page to be notified of new videos, blog posts and giveaways!

Incredible. You are just awesome. I have been struggling with few of the modes. But you made it very clear. Excellent job done and thanks a ton.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! I have learned so much from your videos.

Hi - A good value macro is the 60mm f/2.8 from Canon. I added a link under the video. CLick more and scroll all the way to the bottom of the text. If you want to get closer you can consider the Tamron 90mm. Happy to answer more questions.

Thank you !!! I was searching all over internet and you tube video abot basic function of t5i. This vedio really helped and happy holiday .

The AF/MF is the Auto Focus / Manual focus switch - in AF the camera will focus when you half-press the shutter. Manual focus - you must manually turn the ring on the lens to focus.

Sweet! Thanks for letting me know and following along.

thank goodness to you, i just receive my camera and all your videos help a lot. Not one video on youtube makes me understand the functions like you do.

Thank you for leaving a comment. Please let me know if there are other topics you would like to see covered.

Very nicely explained. Thank you for making a nice video like this.

Hi, Mr.Toby!! I finally got T4i just yerterday. Your various vids helped me a lot to decide of my choice. Thank you Mr.Toby for your awesome tutorial. A very structured and great presenter. Hoping to see more superb vids from you. And of course if do face any difficulties beyond my control, I would definitely seek advise from you. Thanks once again and always take care.

Glad you found it helpful - don't hesitate to let me know if you have more questions and be sure to watch my other tip videos.

very helpful, thank you, i love watching your videos!

Great vid! I'm waiting for those other modes.

Great videos. Easy to understand.

Wow! you made everything so simple :) thank you!

the ONLY video i followed well. Im a beginner and loved your descriptions! thank you

Just got my new T4i today (a big step up from my Rebel xti!!) Plan to go out and take photos tomorrow so this was a great quick overview. Thanks for putting on KZread!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I have been scouring the Internet for a comprehensive video to walk me through all the buttons on my T5i. Even though this particular tut was for the T4i, the features are similair enough to help me understand all those buttons. I am soooo grateful for this information and have subscribed to your channel. I don't know much about shooting still photography. I am a videographer and just bought the Rebel T5i for shooting video. Do you have any tutorials that are specific to shooting video? I order from Amazon almost every week so will make sure you get credit. Thanks again and keep the tuts coming!!!

Thanks. I just got my camera and this was very helpful.

Thanks, My wife just bought this camera for me for Christmas and I have a lot to learn! I appreciate your videos and explanations.

Thank you for these explanations!

Great video here, thanks for all the useful tips. i especially liked the tip about making subjects stay still a bit longer when using night portrait mode due the shutter staying open longer.

Very easy to follow. Perfect intro.

Thanks! The other video is up and linked at the end of this video.

As always Toby, excellent!

Very helpful! I’m getting one for my b-day

Thanks a lot dude just bought this camera and I was totally lost. I'll check your next videos.

Very useful , thanks you

thank you for videos!

Thanks for saying thanks! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the video pretty informative

I really appreciate this :) Thank You.

It is. My guess is that it is just so small the noise leaks out. The 18-135 is so much larger, more room to absorb the noise.

Sorry to hear you are having these troubles. Let's cover the basics first. Is the Autofocus turned on? Put the camera in A mode and take a picture of something. Did the flash pop up? now zoom all the way to 55 and take a picture? Did the flash pop up again? is it blurry? You may want to come over to my facebook page so we can have a longer conversation, it is linked under my video above. Thanks!

very helpful. Thnx a LOT!!!

Thank you for this video!!! My husband and family surprised me with this camera! I was shocked to find they said that I have a really good eye for taking photos! I just snapped them for fun, but they say I really know how to capture a moment! See I get fantastic shot, but the quality is so disappointing, and ruins the moment that I have captured! :( I want to go to school for photography, but I have to wait until my husband graduates first! You are really helpful to someone who doesn't understand all the lingo!!!! I will keep watching your videos!! Again, THANK YOU! xoxoxoxo

Thank u for being so clear to understand & not treat us newbies as idiots..we do want to learn.

The 650D outputs cleaner, less noisy video in low light. in good light the two cameras are very similar. I will have a complete review at the end of this month.

Your videos are extremely helpful to me. How did you capture the photo of the moon. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

This was a super awesome cool video. Learnt a lot. Infact, worth my time!! But do you think eos 650d was a good hoice for me to buy!! Just bought it recently.

Thanks for quick reply, your videos are awesome. Two thumbs up...

Hi Paul. You want to press the little button on the top right corner of the camera - it has a white box with dots inside or a - magnify glass. Press it while looking through the viewfinder and rotate the dial behind the shutter - you should see the little red dot move, keep rotating and it will eventually light up all boxes at once. that is the default. My preference is center point 90% of the time.

Thank you!

Just got this camera - this certainly helps to figure out a lot of bells and whistles for new users. Thanks.

I do recommend it as a buy - Still don't recommend using it to autofocus during liveview but it is a tiny lens that offers good quality, decent close focus and a nice maximum aperture.

awesome, Thanks

Alex, Great! let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for these videos. I've had my T4i for two years and just wasn't getting the most out of it. I still can't get my external flash to work, so any advice would be awesome.

I just bought a T5i and am completely clueless, I Just finished watching your video and found it so much more easy to understand then the many others on here. Just so much to remember, to get use to and understand the lingo. Thank you, Toby

Hi Helene - glad to hear that! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions and you might want to poke through my whole playlist kzread.info/head/PLCUnGRSvb-aLtnE31FL9ROJgf1bxscQsN

thanks toby for taking me through my Canon. You demystified all those settings and have encouraged me to try them out and more importantly to get to know my P AV and Manual modes so that I can have the control over my camera and make me more creative. I am new to digit and I look forward to more videos from you. Terry

Hi It;s one year later March 2015 and what a difference a year makes. I have a studio set up in my basement, have been doing portraits for friends, Niece wants me to shoot her wedding \ have a mentor who I simply am in awe and will be assisting him. Wow . From a newbie to an enthusiast. Thanks again

Hi Toby, Thank you for the informative video, keep up the good work. Cheers Jon

Happy to help. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Great Video. For someone like me going from a camera a paid a $100 dollars for at Sears back in 2007 to a T4I is very overwhelming. I know little to nothing about all the little small details of the camera and I have resorted to using my cell phone camera on multible occasions do to the shere frustration of trying to figure this camera out. This video was very good and helped kinda explain all the different settings on the camera, Thanks again.

Your T4i is an 18MP camera. To check what image size you have set you can watch this video Canon T4i Menu System Explained or press menu and on the first tab make sure your size is set to L.

Pretty helpful :)

200mm zoom lens and I cropped the image lots. Thanks!

amazing, tuto

Thank you for sharing the video. It helps a lot as I just got my new DSLR camera and don't know how to use it :(

Thanks for the lesson Toby! I owned my T4I for almost a year. Due to my ignorance, I never took it off the Automatic mode until your lesson. Needless to say, I will probably never go back to Auto thanks to you...

Rich! Awesome - love to hear that and feel free to ask questions anytime. here or on facebook.com/Digital.Photo.Recommendations

Thank you.

awesome!

Hi - Tell me more about the type of video - the reason I ask - the STM lenses are good for informal events, family etc but if u are doing more serious work you still want to manual focus and in those cases it doesn't matter if you have an STM lens and something like 50 f/1.4 will give u better results. The sony is better at auto focus during video, the t4i is better than the D5200 so it comes down to what are your priorities. Happy to chat more - find me on FB where there aren't comment limits

thank you:)

Hi Victor - if you click my username there is a playlist of all the Canon T4i files that I have. Please let me know if you have specific questions or would like to see a certain topic covered in a future video.

thanks for reply my question on FB, u recomend me the t4i over the sl1, i just received it and im relly happy, thanks for taking a time and reply, ill be folllowing ur videos now,

What SD Card would you recommend for the T4i? The video was really helpful for me! Thank you

Sandisk Extreme - I just added a link under the video. Best value/performance in my opinion.

the 32GB Extreme card is a good card for photos and video. To record a video you need to flip the switch to the video icon(past ON) and press the liveview/record button on the back of the camera - it has a small red dot next to the button.

Oh nice - that is good to know.

thank you so much for ur time toby, i did exchange at bestbuy today and now im so happy about my camera, would you explain to me a lil bit about exposure and how does it works, good or bad?

I'm new to this type of camera and want to learn as much as I can. Do you have any how to videos on the cameras all around function.

Thanks! I would not even try those modes, now I know what those emotic icons means ;)

Lots of folks like the Rode Video Mic, I just added a link above for that!

Hi toby nice vids. I have a wee prob in that the focus points that appear when looking through the view finder seem to be fixed on the far left one. Can you tell how to change this these focus points or direct me to a vid you have that explains the focus points? Cheers Paul

Glad I could help. The clip on lenses are not great - the image quality they offer is, in my opinion, not good. There are other cheap options that do provide some decent quality but you have to work at it. One of my followers on the facebook page recently tried the reversing ring and got decent results, pop over to my facebook page and I will link you to his results.

I am glad I could help. I have loads more videos and I am happy to answer questions. You might want to join my facebook page, lots of tips and helpful info posted there. link under video.

If your camera is flashing Busy on the screen it means it is processing a photo, usually. Did you have HDR on? Were you shooting a very long exposure?

Do you have any video explaint about fstops feture on usm lens

You are very welcome. Your LPS videos will soon be 1080p awesome with your T4i :)

the 18-135 STM is a better lens, more range, silent autofocus during video. The 18-55 isn't bad just not as good as the 18-135. I don't know where you got your camera so I can't really advise on how you should exchange it.

i just bought a canon t5i. will this guide teach me or do you have a t5i guide video

hi toby im using sandisk extreme 32gb and is it good for photo and record video on my t4i? and how do you record ur video, this is my first camera and i love to watch ur video, thank you

Glad I could help. let me know if you have any questions. You may want to pop over and like my facebook page, I will have a nice giveaway starting soon.

Does the AF / MF on the STM lens have anything to do with the basic shooting modes on the camera? can they effect the picture?

I just posted a video that should help explain some of that. If you have a specific question let me know.

Hey Toby, another question, can you recommend any on-camera dslr microphones for video?

Hi, what's a good macro lens for the canon t4i (650d) ? At a fair price. Thanks and video was very helpful.

Hey toby . rocommend canon 650d or nikon d5200 . and which is best for video?

and which lense u would recommend is better, t4i with 18-55 kit, or t4i with 18-135 stm kit? how and should i go exchange my 18-55 back to get 18-135

thanks for the reply, was so busy working :), i have more questions and need you to help me answer toby, its just happen today i was using my camera at M mode and then my auto forcus was stuck ( pressed the shutter but the auto forcus doesnt work and it didnt take picture the only thing i can do is switch back to manul forcus and then it works) for no reason and my camera was saying busy or something im not sure, is it because something wrong with my lense or camera?
