17:11 "Long exposure noise reduction" means when you take a long exposure - say 30sec at ISO 3200 - the camera will shoot a "dark frame" and subtract this from your first image. You you need double the time, but the image gets cleaner because the camera gets rid of hot pixels and other artefacts.

I have come back and watched this video numerous times. This is the best reference I have found for this camera.

Jared, I was coming from an 80D, same DNA, still, big jump.. This video was the perfect tutorial to fill in any knowledge gaps.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!... Big thanks for what you do!... 🤙🏼

I have had this camera for more than a year, used it a few times all on [A] then left it in a corner to collect dust (off course I kept it in a good bag)! I read the manual back and forth, went on the internet several times listening to different instructors. People usually start very slow but then get so fast that you can't follow what they said or how they moved their fingers. This is the very first time that I really learned a lot, followed the video all the way to the end and I am encouraged to start practicing and using this EOS-R camera again. I want to thank you very much for your hard work.

What makes me keep watching your videos is because your dedication to provide us with great conten like this one. Thanks Jared.

[toms]

This was incredible. Thank you for putting the time into making this. I’ve enjoyed the shit out of watching it.

[eastcoastglobetrotter]

Jared, your videos are so easy to understand. I just got the EOS R and tried searching for videos to explain settings in a simple/easy way to understand, and your's by far has been the best. Thank you !

[audreypinion]

I am so grateful for this video!! My husband got me this camera for Christmas and it's just the crash course I needed! Thank you for putting in the time!

[DiarmuidODonovan]

Great stuff, as much as we all know about cameras its still good to watch videos like this in case we miss something and there will be always something you dont fully understand.

Thanks dude

[eugeneshcherba]

Jared, Thank you for excellent tutorial. I just want to add one thing about GPS. You just skipped that part saying it is for people who have GPS devices. However it can be done with Bluetooth connection of EOS R to smartphone with Canon Connect application installed. It works flawlessly and add GPS information from your phone to every shot.

49:42 I love having 2 self timers. I use the 10 second timer when I use a tripod and I want to be in the picture. 10 seconds gives me enough time to walk in the picture and strike a pose. I use the 2 second timer when I’m taking long expo. I push the button the camera has a 2 second delay (not a long 10 second wait) and the camera & tripod become still and no shake in it. My long expo picture comes out crisp and clean! This is why I like/love 2 self timers.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, Jared! Seeing everything visually is so much easier for me to understand! I just recently got the EOS R Mirrorless after using a Canon Rebel T6i for five years, and have been having a hard time figuring out where all the settings were and what they do. The manual is worthless to me because I can't read the small print so you are a real lifesaver!

[thegreattrun]

Dude, seriously. Thanks for making this video. I'm about halfway through. Just got my EOS R today.

Great job!

[daviddavalos]

Dude, I’m on the floor laughing after you formatted your files! Your reaction is priceless!

[kennethgnielsen]

Because you are a savvy shooter, I would love to see you take the EOS R out on some shoots - that would show how to use the camera in actual shooting situations. This is a different camera for Canon and has its own things to be aware of while shooting (a thumb or body part next to the EVF sensor will turn off the rear screen - that kind of stuff.) Thanks for producing this. Love your commitment to producing high-quality and informative videos on the products we love. Very helpful!

[teresacaro]

You are just amazing! I take change easy at all. I have been shooting the mark ii, iii and iv and just purchased this camera and have been regretting it because I just couldn't find information that was helpful for me to understand it. In just the 1st 20 min you answered so many of my questions. Thank you

[KevinDeal]

Been using Canon DSLR since the mid 2000s. Your review and this video helped me go all in on mirrorless. Love my EOS R.

[richmonyer]

I read the manual first, played with the camera a little. Now I just went through your video (which is great) and fully customized my camera. Thanks for taking the time to talk about and demonstrate a lot of these menus.

[mattcummins]

Upgraded to an EOS R after the recent price drop, and this was really helpful

[tombuck]

I just sat through the whole video while following along with the menus. I learned a TON, even for older cameras that I've had forever. Thank you!
