Thank you for what you’re doing. Some of us still enjoy using old gear. Your videos help a lot

[RodrigoVazquez]

Man, your video saved me!! I was about to give up with my 6D, I bought it the last year, a preowned unit in a really great condition, just as an upgrade after selling my 7D. I used to own a 5D Classic many years ago, and I was really excited about getting a full frame camera again. But somehow, something seemed to be wrong with it, no matter what I tried, the pictures were so blurry, I tried many focus settings, I tried setting the focus point manually just as I used to do it on my 7D, but, the pictures kept coming out super blurry, not to mention the colors on the preview were really weird. This afternoon I found your video, I reset my camera to factory setting and I followed your video from the start to the end. I took some sample shots and the results impressed me a lot, the changes are noticeable, and focus is way faster. Thank you so much for sharing this, it helped me so much. It's hard to find videos about old gear nowadays, in a world full of Fujifilm x100vs and Sony A7s. I really didn't want to get rid of this camera, my first DSLR was a Rebel XS, and I liked the Canon DSLR feeling on the hands. Thanks alot!!!

I received my 6D in the mail today. Thanks for putting me on this path Martin! I shoot with an R6 and was about to spend way too many € on the RF 50mm 1.2. Instead I now have my very first DSLR Full Frame camera with an excellent image sensor (I've only ever shot mirrorless so far, starting on Micro4/3). This camera will be an excellent addition to my R6 for portraiture, and it came with the EF 50mm 1.8 in the box. I'm very excited!

[joris]

It really is a great camera. I've been using it for 7 years and while the autofocus isn't that easy to work with, the sensor is extremely good, especially in low light. Great combo with L glass and Sigma Art!

[andrewcroft]

Great video Martin, I have decided the 6D is going to join my 70D so this video has been saved, many thanks.

[johnhulland]

Just bought the 6d looking forward to using it.

[videojeroki]

I just bought a 6D :)
I'm curious about the settings you share with us.

[johnstaples]

You’re a right bugger..!! I don’t need another camera but now I want a 6D.. ! It does look like a great piece of kit.. Let’s see what MPB have in stock..! Great information as per….

[tomazbercic]

My beloved camera, I have been owner of all 5D model (exclude mark IV), and I like 6D more than them. Ergonomics is better for my purpose.

[DaveMuller]

There's a few settings I have never played with before and I will check them out. I don't know how but the 6D I keeps getting better and better to me and except for edge cases I never want to use any of my other cameras.

[jayse]

It's such a great camera, it's only this and my 5D1 I would bother to replace if I was without them somehow. Another great video, thank you sir

[vicamaya]

HELP! Newbie question :) I have a Canon EOS 6D and need to film myself on camera. What are the settings to ensure I'm always in focus while filming since it doesn't have facetracking or a flipscreen. Do I need to get any speciifc gear or app to set this up?
Thanks!

[pamelam.]

Thank you so much for the instructions. Can you tell me what lens you have on your camera? The one bought for mine is not appropriate for the distance the photos are taken at in my office.

[leanneoconnor]

Hi there! Great is there a multiple exposure setting?

[thejonc]

Have you tried the Magic Lantern firmware on the 6d? I am waiting for my 6d to come in the mail and was just doing some research on this. It looks like it gives it several new features.

[hywel]

Thanks Martin - really useful tips for my 6D setup.
The 6D really is a classic, and it's very kind of your viewer to gift one to you since you did some stunning work with your previous 6D.
I bought a 6D a few months ago, and it has re-kindled my interest in photography lost in the early days of digital, when the results I obtained were far too "digital" and I really missed the "analogue" nature of film.
I don't want to criticise other cameras or camera manufacturers by name, but to my eye few digital camera sensors are capable of producing such natural looking images as the 6D.
I shoot JPEG at present, setting Sharpness high - just below maximum using the Auto picture style. Do you find yourself often sharpening a RAW file shot on the 6D? I guess not so much for your portrait shoots?
As a constructive comment, I found myself pausing your video to take notes frequently, since the delivery was excellent but quite fast-paced.
I don't comment on all your videos, but I really appreciate all your quality content and laid back delivery, free from gimmicks and unecessary melodrama...

Coffee purchased. Although I know you intend to re-do this video, I nevertheless did watch it twice and adjusted a few settings I'll be trying. Owners manuals are often OK explaining what a setting does, but rarely are they able to explain WHY someone may or may not want to make an adjustment. The result is that we're often left with wondering why cameras seem to have endless ways of doing the same thing, instead of things simply.

Of course, no company will dare leave reprogrammable functions out or they'll probably get eviscerated by reviewers.

[fredkeogh]

I was literally Gobsmacked when I saw my first low light shot ‘ 6D classic wow’

[galporgy]

The jump 10 frames setting is for the top dial only, the back dial/multicontroller always jumps by 1.

[FraserGP]

I have a stupid question for you, how do I view the Histogram on the 6D.... I literally cant find it, assumed it was available after several presses of the info button, but nothing. I know Im going to look bad but I cant find any guidance on the internet either....
