As a professional photographer I have been using the Canon 5D mark III DSLR camera since 2012 covering assignments all over the world. These days I shoot with the R5 system but still pick up the mark 3 for the odd shoot. In this video I share how I set this camera up and talk about the various settings I use. Anyone with an interest in the Canon 5d mark 3 should find something of interest here but as ever its just based on my personal experience and opinion so feel free to jump into the comments if you have anything worth sharing! Thanks for watching. Roy Riley 2022

I'm indeed grateful, I recently acquired 5D M3 AND I have struggled to set my camera, but it's now all solved courtesy of you Sir.

I’ve just ordered a “like new” 5D mark iii so watching your video in anticipation. I mainly do bird photography so mapping the one shot/ai servo to the DOF preview button looks like a must have! Thanks!

Canon user here as well. Beautiful colors every time. I finally bought this dream camera for myself and my clients....totally worth the wait. Coupled with my Canon 70-200mm 2.8L USM....I am overly excited to spend many years with this camera. As a concert photographer, I imagine the mirrorless would make my life so much easier, but, I do love a great challenge. I have zero complaints about this camera, and neither do my clients with their photos. I have no plans to upgrade my setup, until this camera dies. I LOVE IT!

I've been shooting professionally with my Canon 5D III for over 7 years and feel like I'm always needing to refresh or learn more about it. I'm also a fellow film shooter, so sometimes complex systems like this get overwhelming! So thank you so much for this walk through!

I still use my 5D mark iii that I purchased new, so I found this video very interesting.

10 years after using my 5d3 and I can still learn something(custom button function! and focus point setting). great video brother

Bought a beat up one on ebay for 235€ as an upgrade from my 600D I got 5 years ago when my dad upgraded. Especially the Magic Lantern Capabilities on top of this Legendary stills Camera make it the absolute best value I could get for my small Budget.

For years, I dreamed of getting a Canon 5D Mark III. Then, mirrorless cameras were introduced, and became better and better. I won a Panasonic mirrorless camera on YouTube last year. and LOVE it! I recently bought two Canon 5D Mark II's (One had a shutter count of only 6, 000!). I have one set up for stills. The other one has lots of extra goodies for shooting video (monitor, mic, etc.). Next week, I'm finally going to be buying a Mark III. I am so anxious about it! Thanks for this helpful video.

The 5DIII is a rock-solid camera. It is my camera of choice when I am asked to do an 'event capture.' I will probably take more than 500 photos at one of those events. I might be inside and/or outside. I might be close to people or far away trying to get candid shots. I like it because the AF will be 'spot on' and as it is FF, my photos will have that distinctive look. It never fails me in those situations.

So helpful. This is the only video the shows step by step like this. Exactly what I needed and what I was looking for. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I've had mine since Nov 2012, and it's still a great workhorse. When I bought it, I was so in love that I changed my Facebook relationship status to being in a relationship with it. I haven't changed that status since, not even for my human. LOL. I'm always shooting fully manual, including white balance, and my love for the 5D Mkiii is as solid today as it was when I first unboxed it. I shoot using pretty high iso a lot as I do a lot of live music photography. It's a lovely machine. 😍🤩🥰

I'm an old gear lover. Received one Canon 5D Mark III from my son two days ago as gift. I'm already using 5D Classic and 5DII with deep satisfaction. Therefore, 5DIII is bound to be a great DSLR. He used it extensively for his professional work and clicked around 214, 000 shots. But I'm confident, this will keep clicking much longer.

Being a hobbyist, I would like to use it for all my purposes that includes landscape, street and wildlife photography. For action shots, I already own 1DIV and 7D. I'm confident, 5DIII will also work great in this genre.

Thank you for the video.

Just borrowed this body from a friend coming from Olympus and this video was very helpful.
I am also a huge fan of the peak design anchor system and straps. The versatility is unmatched as well as their warranty and customer service.

Long time 5D III user here, so most of your settings make perfect sense to me (though we can always learn and adjust a bit more). As always, good information provided and credit to you Roy for continually being helpful to answer peoples questions. Have a good day sir!

[kevinl]

5Diii arriving today! This has been extremely useful. Covers some things I would probably have ignored. Sold my last 6D two weeks ago and exited the Canon DSLR world. Didn’t last long!

Cool guy, not boring. It's especially cool to watch such light and pleasant reviews from real professionals who actually used this camera for years and created masterpieces after all sorts of dull bloggers discussing megapixels and "shortcomings" of Canon, in whose portfolio there are one and a half photos of a cat against the background of a carpet.

[jameshoy]

My 5D3 is getting me through an AAS in photography. I love this camera so much!

[dropoffjelly]

Just received my used but well cared for 5D Mk III today and of course I had your video cued up and ready to get me started! I look forward to seeing what results I can get! Thanks for a great and inspiring channel.

I have discovered your channel way too late and I wish I did earlier. In terms of what brought me here, I will be buying a 5d mark 3 and I just wanted to get some idea of how it works. You are clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. I am really impressed by your videos because if I observed correctly you don't really cut and stitch the video, it is mostly just one continuous video. It is quite rare that people talk continuously that way and definitely shows how much you know about the subject. I am very happy to have found your channel.
