The canon R6 is a wonderful camera but some of its settings need some personalization first before they will be perfect. These 6 settings are what I recommend you change first on your Canon EOS R6 Mirroless camera. There are things like how to keep the In Body Stabilization on IBIS, AF touch and Drag settings, How to Turn off the red beam of death known as the AF Firing Beam AND MORE!

I also have another video here that already covers many of the viewfinder settings that are the most helpful! These will not be covered in this video but are just as worthy of being mentioned in this video!

Touch and drag—NICE FEATURE. Thanks for pointing it out for us.

Brand new R6 user here! Thanks for this series! One question, regarding the IS settings (3:30), on "IS (Image Stabilizer) mode" menu, I'm only seeing the option for Digital IS (on or off). I don't see the other two you're showing. Any setting that needs to be active to reveal those?

Hi and thanks for giving nice videos about R6
One thing where do you change when shooting vertically on screen that aperture iso and all other numerical values ​​turn around
This only happens in the viewfinder i.e. the one you look into and not on the screen
Tips are welcome for changing this.

Put camera into "sleep mode"... saves batt (turns off evf/lcd) - extends the batt life to over 800 shots on R6. Change the front 'dof preview' button to 'displays off'. In menu section Orange - sub menu 3 - customize buttons - tab down x5 - change dof preview to displays off. To wake up camera... put eye up to evf - instantaneously turns it back on.

Just got my R6 and this was super useful, thanks! Any chance you've found the setting for making the display and/or viewfinder red rather than white (for shooting in super low light without ruining your night vision)? It was called "Screen Color" on my old 750D but not on this one it seems

I'm having an issue with my r6 and I hope you can help me, and that is when trying to switch to another eye or face it keeps going back to the original eye. What am I doing wrong?

when i turned IS mode to enable I didn't have the option to change still photo is to ALWAYS

[jimjaniczek]

Hi Daniel. Just watched your video and I wanted to check to make sure my IS is always on for still photos. I have firmware 1.5.2 installed and the only menu option I have is for Digital IS. I do not have a menu option for Still photos ???

Hi :) Thank you for this video. I see that my menu screen does not have the same number of options as what you are showing in your tutorial. In other words, when I go to AF (purple) I have #1 and #2 as options where you have 5 options. Same with the camera (red) I have 4 options where you have I think 9. At the top of my main screen I have camera / AF / arrow / wifi / wrench. That's it. You have another camera and a star after that. So the question is....why is mine different? I purchased this camera on June 1 2022. Thank you for your time :)

what lens did you were using when turned ON IS MENU?

[ambugopi]

Hi, in my r6 camera, in the is mode showing only video symbol and stabilization. How I can change it as your video. Thank you for your reply

[kristinzagorac]

Before I even watch this, I hope you address the fact that 1, you have been taken hostage, or 2, you're just hanging at gram's house for the weekend filming this. LOL

How do you use the touch screen to navigate the menu? My touchscreen just makes the screen turn black briefly but doesn’t detect what it touches!

[Lifeordeath]

I do a lot with strobe lighting, and I can’t figure out for the life of me how to turn off exposure compensation completely; like not at all. Whenever I focus first, the exposure compensation HAS to adjust itself and I can’t turn it off. The lowest it can go is 4 seconds. Any thoughts on this? Canon update?

[glynnelectric]

I just upgraded from a t2i to a r6... When pictures are saved to both cards, can you view pictures on both cards from the camera? I only see the first card slot?

[patrickwu]

Why you have 3 options, but I only have 1 option "Digital IS" On/Off?

[davidlee]

The ibis only works like you show when you use a lens without IS. If the lens has IS on you get IBIS. if IS is off the IBIS is off.

[RickUSA]

I dont have R6, I have R. great video man. keep on like this.

[superbenji]

You can't do dual recording for video.

Why is my R6 has no copyright information on the file name to set up? On IS mode, it has no still photos to set up always. Did i buy a fake R6 from BestBuy?
