I hope you enjoyed this User Guide. If you found it helpful in any way, please give this video a thumbs up. Thank you!!!

"Release Shutter w/out Lens" is also there for using manual lenses (I leave this on for my cameras because I own a few MF lenses). If you put on a manual lens, the camera will not "think" there's a lens installed, but by turning this on, you can then use manual lenses without the autofocus contact points on the lens.

The fact that you can get uncropped 4k for 600 is amazing. I just wish canon had third party lens support or more lightweight, less expensive lenses.

#1:21:10 x2. It would have taken me a year or more to figure out what you taught me in this video. Watched it twice. Now a subscriber. I'll be working my way through your library. Many thanks.

[GeneMoretti]

Just bought the R50 and I am going thru all the settings as you explained them. Wow, that was a lot of information, I hope I saved it all correctly.

dude that preview AF explanation was amazing! I've had my r50 for about 1 month now and its the only thing that bothers me. Thanks for the awesome video!

[Pataflafla]

Thanks for making these videos for the canon cameras! I just got a new camera from a different manufacturer and I’m now remembering how much of a pain it can be to learn different menus and abbreviations. I retroactively really appreciate how helpful this video was when I got my r50.

[myderbygirl]

Amazingly useful video. You've explained everything in nice, clear, precise details. My camera settings make so much more sense now - thanks!!

[amirkarimifar]

I always watch your videos and learn. The way you teach is incredibly helpful and inspired me to keep practicing. Thank you so much Jared!

[dolphingin]

[grahamfloyd]

Beginners watch this video! Thanks Jared!

[danlightfoot]

An absolute fantastic video! Had this camera for 8 months and your video has helped me fall in love with photography again as I was loaing patience :)

[lindaherbst]

Got this far - thanks so much as I had a mirror Canon before and this has helped me get setup to start snapping away again.

[chandrakantpatel]

Thank You so much, and fabulous 👌 Guidance. I just buy R50 3days ago. Again thank you very much. 😊

[barbaramockford]

I just bought an R50 kit and a 55 - 210 lens. Your video was great. I learned a lot and I'm hoping for some great photos.

[stephenourada]

Thanks Jared and Steven. I bought the R50 so that I could have a smaller camera to carry around instead of my R5. I selected the R50 based on your review and the price point. So far I am happy with the results I'm getting. I have been using my L lenses but would like to find a smaller, lighter lens so that the entire system will fit in a fanny pack. Have you used any of the STM lenses? I am looking at the 16 and 24mm which have mixed reviews.
Thanks again for making this video it was very helpful.

[kaprime]

Thank you for this So much better than a manual. Love the way you explain everything!!

[deb]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Question about lenses from an amateur.... I got the kit, so i got the 2 lenses, but I read that there is a "nifty fifty" lens that is a must have. What is your opinion? I also love to do macro photography as a hobby.... what lens would be best for that?

[bradagarlic]

Thanks Jared, Great informative video I just got the R50 and love it, I was looking for the option to use manual lenes as someone else mentioned and found a few other handy features too. Thank you

[marcusdavila]

Could you compare the R50 vs Lumix g100 ? Had a Nikon D3400 awhile back, got pretty deep into landscape/wildlife/night photography. Trying to get back into it, but can't decide between these two mirrorless cameras.
