you're more go-to whenever I want to set up a new camera for a shoot; easy to understand, great videos

[SL__Films]

Because of your videos i bought a R7 today. Thank you!

[ChasWG]

The best tutorial that I've seen on the R7. And I've watched a bunch. Love that you don't give too many of your own opinions, but when you do, you say why you make a change other than. "I like it better that way."
Thanks!

For anybody just watching this and you use your camera for recording events video where there is usually very loud music and loud noise.. Please leave your audio at "Auto" and not "Manual". Your camera can easily prevent audio peaking when it is at auto because it can easily recognize when the sound is too loud and then help reduce audio peaking. Putting it in manual means the camera will simply follow your order in the level you have set it. If the music or audio coming in is too loud, that is a big recipe for audio peaking disaster. So if you shoot events, never leave the audio at manual. I have been burned several times for setting the audio to manual.

Great tutorial. I don't think he says it, although it's shown in the pics, you need to set your cam to "M" mode prior to doing these. Otherwise a few of the options might be unavailable. I would also recommend going through all these, then saving them to one of the Custom Modes, C1, C2, or C3 and make sure you set the custom mode to "NOT" save any changes you make to the mode (unless of course you go in and manually save them). Also, if you use this for a still camera, it's also worthwhile to go through the settings with it in photo mode prior to saving. That way when you turn the dial to that custom mode it's all set for either video or photos.

Thank you for a clear description of the R7 Video settings without a lot of Fluff.

Thanks for sharing this Josh! It's great to see such a detailed tutorial specifically for Canon R7 video users in particular. Excellent work! 👊

[TheLoverr]

Thank you so much Josh, and for explaining what curtain setting did, ive had this camera for over a year now and I just recently started using it hahah.

[williamrodriguez]

Great Video ! Learned alot by watching this ! Hope you continue making more videos

[simonpotter]

The very best video I’ve yet seen as a newcomer to video and waiting for my pre-ordered R7 - thank you. By watching this I have learnt so much and your explanations are clear, concise with just the right amount of detail. Now I’m itching to go and start into video and might even jump straight into c log 3! Would you see any scenario where you might want to utilise both card slots for video? I can certainly see an advantage for stills but not sure for video? Thanks also for pointing me in the right direction re choice of SD card - now I will go with the ProGrade V90 which I am using in my R5. Excellent tutorial!

[wattz]

Just got my R7 this is really helpful, thank you so much!

[mrmoeezali]

I don't know why I can't find any videos of canon r7 ever since it got released, I'm glad you did some setup and after videos. I actually got it for Youtube videos. Is there anything special that needs to be done for indoor talking head youtube videos setup?

[Shoggy]

Thanks for this video. It was really helpful. I've liked and subscribed. Thanks again.

[matthiasschrenk]

You probably saved me 100h of research, thank you so much 🙏

[juliopereira]

This is great Josh, thanks for all your work and the tips man, I’ll save this one on a playlist it for later as I’ll definitely go through it again. Two R7’s are on the way :)

[darlenecomeau]

I agree best tutorial on the R7. Thanks Josh.

[ianscottcastillo]

Hey man I would absolute love an R7 vs Eos R showdown video which one is best for who? Especially considering they’re around the same price! Thanks bro your videos are so in depth!

[mikeyi]

Thank you so much Josh for this helpful video!

[mamassachen]

Thank you! I watched it 2 times - the second time with pause and play and my cam at hand ;) Are there any specific settings you would recommend for streaming with the Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro?
Thank you so much! ❤

Just brought a Canon R7 today with Canon 16mm for videos and shootings in a small space. I sold Canon M6 MarkII. I mostly shoot/video indoors of my acrylic paintings. The settings are very beneficial. Correct me, I'd like to set for indoor to 5600K because I have a pair of lights that is 6500K.
