Awesome! I just learned more in this 16 minutes than I did reading the manual for months.

I’ve had my camera for a year and am only now attempting to learn how to use it with no photography experience whatsoever. This was SO HELPFUL! Can’t thank you enough.

Oh my gosh, I need to watch this vid a thousand times. Seems so informative, but she goes through things so fast it makes my head spin, and I'm also having a hard time finding settings and menus that she is using.

[debtremmel]

This tutorial is excellent. I learnt more about my camera than I have reading the manual and doing three basic photography courses

Tip for new users: this camera does have a great Menu that is common to most Canon cameras. It offers a MyMenu tab where you can keep some of your most often used functions for quick access. Unlike the M50 camera, G7x doesnt offer multiple folders for MyMenu. So your selection is somewhat limited. Also be aware that even if you use the MyMenu convenience, when you are in Auto mode, you will only see the items that actually apply in auto - you won't see your complete list. When you are in non-auto modes (ie: Av, Tv, M) you will see the complete list.
Surprisingly, the manual doesn't make it easy to find this info in the index, but it's on pg 109. Many people have asked for this info. Camera manuals are not entertaining reading, but people should plow through them and at least keep the electronic version on your smart phone. This camera has a LOT to offer...and learn.

[UnicaIhla]

I bought this amazing camera just yesterday and now I'm learning how to use it. Thanks for this hands-up :)

[ddiesel]

i wanted to use my new camera ASAP, so i watched this video instead of reading the manual. Thanks a lot!

[BinnyAndMeena]

I have been having this camera for 4.5 years and only today l learn so many functions I never knew this camera had.

[davewong]

Great information. I recommend you should take a close up on the camera function. It is very difficult to see and very confusing since you going so fast.

[l.e.]

Awesome video! I just got my camera 2 days ago and planned on using it at my sons party today! I’m a last minute mom who enjoys amateur photography, but I can’t always (hardly ever) lug around my DSLR equipment. I think I’ve made a great purchase and your video helped give me the quick start I need. Thanks!

[sloanbooks]

[vilmaa.cabrera]

I just got my new Canon PowerShot and it is very hard for me to start because the manual is written in Hebrew and searching here on Youtube all the review about this camera and thank's God I found you Tutorial.

[gaatutube]

I bought this camera about a year ago and have barely used it. Never had time to learn its mode, go through manuals etc. I will be traveling soon and decided to research this camera again. And this video has given me EVERYTHING I needed to know. Thank you so much.

[natashabanky]

Great tutorial. My manual is in Korean (I live in Korea), so i'm super grateful for this resource!

[bobprentiss]

I had no idea my little camera, which I have had a couple of years, could do all this. Getting ready to travel and don't want to take the big camera. This will do great! Thanks!

[johnnymac]

What a wonderful detailed video! I am hoping to purchase this camera in the near future and will certainly be watching this video again and again. I usually shoot in auto but I want to explore all the options available.

[ollip]

Awesome video for a absolute beginner who just got this camera!

Make Canon G7X mark III. Add
+ 4K 24p 100 mbps
+ Sideways tilting screen (like M50, G5X, etc)
+ Bigger capacity battery. You can achieve that by put the memory card slot on the side, not inside the battery port. Thats how you can fit much bigger battery. You can make microsd slot instead of SD slot. Much smaller and can fit very easy.
+ add mic inpit. 3.5 mm jack
And of course keep the form factor the same.
