Best Settings for Video / Canon M50 Video Guide / Part One 

This Video is a Hidden Treasure for Beginners 💯💯

This voice... It's amazing!

Great videos dude 🤘🏻 Very informative and helpful

Finally, I got the channel that is perfect for M 50. I really like this channel. Thanks a lot.

Nice

I also recommend to set the "Maximum ISO in video mode" to something usable like 2000ISO

Great info

Thank you. It’s March 2021 and just got this camera to film for RU-vid and these tips were best thus far! Gracias

Great video Todd. I just bought the M50 mark II and this video helped me a lot to set my video settings. Thank you for that man. Much appreciated.

Very clear presentation.................Loved it

finally found a video with a good pace that i could follow through the explanation. Great work! Do you have any video on how do you make your set-up with that dark background?

The m50 videoautofocus looses me if i am further away from the camera, why?

You did great , thank You so much 😊

Thank you. Watching reviews on the M50 make it seem so simple to use but yesterday after mine arrived I was overwhelmed by how many settings there are in the multiple menus. As someone who basically uses my iPhone to take simple pictures/videos of my dogs the M50 is a whole new world! Thank you for guiding me through this world. I look forward to parts 2-4!

I have watched this video several times. Nicely explained Todd. I use all the settings, but I film in neutral, because i film bonbon, how to do videos. I colorgrade after. If i don´t forget it:) I film with the 11-22 mm Canon lens. I feel the pictures are not super sharp. Any idea? I have a setup with light. See my videos Sweet Kitchen Skills RU-vid. I hope you can help. Thanks for all your help.

Obrigado! Salvou!

Thanks a lot for explanation , you deserve more subscribers 😉👍 got one from me. May i ask what for microfono are you using? It’s so clear

I have this camera canon m50 I buying copo months but I dont like any body won't buy just sent message me if you are interested thank you a lots it's help as well cause I dont know how to used for blogging

Excellent video. Thanks for the help!

Very helpful for the beginning user of the M 50. I watched several other tutorials but this is the best so far because it doesn't assume you know more than you do.

Finally, I found the best video tutorial for my canon M50 thank you so much!!!!! Yay!!!

Hello again, Todd! Back again! I not only hit 'like', I subscribed! This time, I had my M50 in my hands and followed all your instructions, until the last one in Custom Fn, when I had to call a halt. That's because my M50 is quite different from what your display showed. Oops, I decided to have another go at the CFn but, this time, I managed to change the screen so that it is exactly the same as yours. (I did the 2-finger thing that we all do with our mobile phones.) Okay, I should be right but I'd really, really like to know which setting to use for White Balance, when recording vids in church. Also, what are best settings for recording fireworks and Christmas decorations? I tried recording the latter prior to last Christmas but the results were......well, I should have used my 7D.

Great stuff. Many thanks. I would stay away as much as possible from using the shutter release if there are microphones nearby - when you depressed the release (after recommending mapping the video 'on-off' function to it) you could hear noise.

Thanks for this, Todd! It wasn't until you got to mention AF/MF that it twigged for me what I have been forgetting! (Put it down to being 79yo) I should say, though, that you really should mention, when setting the white balance, that it should NOT be set tod daylight, if capturing video indoors, especially in a church, where the light is often 'patchy'.

Super helpful and clear. My youtube vids have been all over the place, exposure, balance, saturation all over the place; need consistency. Thanks

Great video, thank you very much. I usually use AWB-W, but I'll try to use Daylight. Who knows? Maybe that would be better.

So much great info! Thanks!

Tom that's the best tutorial on the M50 to date matey, thank you, really easy to follow.

helpfulllll

Thank you! I’ve been shooting professional video for nearly 3 decades and thought the M50 would be a good entry point for me. I was a bit intimidated and this video was SUPER helpful!

CANON M50 IS THE BEST VLOGGING CAMERA.

Thanks man, I've had this camera for six months and this really saved me some time on upping my camera game with these settings. Thank you!

thank you so much for walking through slow for some of us new guys. I watched another guys video and he just zipped right through. good video

Not sure what I am doing wrong, it seems grainy. I had to set it back to AWB because I was inside and there was not enough light. Anybody have some suggestions?

@4:43 Not for beginning level. If you're doing unboxing, then pretend you're speaking with beginners. I have NO idea what you're talking about. Furthermore, I feel scammed and played. You're assuming that we have certain knowledge that only people who do NOT need unboxing and setup info would have. I.E. What is dual pixel auto mode? Only have 4 options under "Movie Record Quality". I definitely do want 4K. But why do I only have 4 options? I want to get around the crop.

Thank you very much for this video. I would like to buy this super camera.

Just bought this camera in 2021! Can’t wait for it to come in the mail! I’m pairing it with the sigma 16 mm! I plan on vlogging!!! Wish me luck!!!

I dont know why but my m50 mark ii when recording FHD 60fps outside my footage is grainy bad quality, anyone can help thanks

thank you for the great video !! I wanted to ask you , i have m50 mark II with kit lens, can i use these settings also for livestreaming on a tripod since i will be on manual video mode? because i am usins f3.5 (lowest) with iso 400 and shutter speed 100, because if i go lower on shutter speed i get noisy grain and lines on my footage, althought i have good lighting in the room.

This is gold...thank you so much for making it so easy...liked and subscribed... :-)

I really cant find the button to "push up" to stop wheel altering shutter speed? Re watched video many time but cant seem to loacte it? Anyone help? Otherwise super video, thank you!

Excellent presentation and suggestions. There are other similar videos in which the speaker talks too fast and doesn't really explain the options. WELL DONE!

Picking up one tomorrow, I started with film and it’s been great but not super experienced with SLR’s. Looking forward to digital and shooting in RAW

Hi 👋🏻, I’ve tried filming indoors at 1/50 shutter, F3.5 @ 1080p 25fps, and it looks really dark in doors. Does this mean this camera just cannot handle these settings indoors and you a faster lens or better camera? Also to alter the brightness of the scene do you change the ISO & aperture? This really confuses me as my phone indoors looks great, and the camera looks bad (sensor is tiny on the phone).I have a 22mm as well that also doesn’t look great. Surely this camera can do better if a phone is this good?

how do I change the Internation Standardization for Organization back to ao 100

Thanks a million! I am so happy I found your channel ❤ Please keep videos coming!

Hey love your videos!! I’m based in the UK and looking for some advice please. I have the Canon M50 mkii with only the kit Lens at the moment My bro in law and I are starting our own RU-vid channel to do product review videos. I have made a studio set in my garage with soft boxes and ring lights, we will both be in the shot sat on chairs with a table in front of us! What lens and camera settings would be best for this set up? Thanks In advance 😊

I think they've updated the menu because I just bought my Canon M50 a few days ago and I'm missing alot of the settings you're talking about (starting at 3:55) are on my menu. :(

I've had my M50 for a couple of months now and have been tinkering with the settings. I watched this video with camera in hand and followed your recommendations. Can't wait to field test it. Yours is one of my very favorite channels. You are a fabulous teacher and it's quite obvious that you possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to the follow ups to this one!

Hi, how setting cinematic video with black bars top and bottom canon m50,thanks

According to them, you can definitely only shoot videos in manual mode in 4K!

sooooo useful, thank you very much. Greetings from Bolivia

Could u possibly speak slower and not at speed of sound? Who are you super smart people addressing and why do u not get some speech training first. Ruined your presentation with your train speed.

do you have one of the videos like this on m50 markII

Also i don't see the red when I am trying to focus

thank you so much.......very helpful settings.

Useful video. Even with m50 mk2

i set my camera up with all of these settings and now my image is super dark or super exposed. i’m not sure what i did wrong but i can’t figure out how to fix it 😭

Your voice is amazing!! Can i k ow the mic u use?

Awesome video, thanks for the advice

I'm watching this in 2023, Do the facts still hold?

Thank you very much, for this awesome tutorial

Thanks a lot for your video. I'm not a native speaker, but I understand everything. Very useful video.😊😊👍👍

You skipped the part where you are supposed to insert battery, sd card and how to even turn it on.

This is very helpful! Thank you!

I did buying my m50 doesn’t come with all thing

Thanks a lot for this great tips to optimise the camera use when recording!

Why I only have 4 resolution options in my new M50?

fantastic tutorial....Thanks for sharing with us.

I just made all these adjustments you recommended, my first vlog the quality came out HORRIBLE, hoping this helps.. thank you Todd!

I use the Canon M50 along with the 10-18mm wide angle lens and this camera is AMAZING. If anyone has been thinking about getting it, GET IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!

Don't make fun of free kits like strap. I use it and am thankful to canon.

Best Settings for Photography! please!

at the 8:42 mark Todd says "turn on the auto focus here" and he hits a buton. Which buttone does he hit?

The best tutorial on M50 :D

thanks very much for a fantastic in depth video

This is to advanced and you breeze over things.

You are so awesome 👏 this was so easy to follow

Thank you for this! As a newbie I was feeling kinda lost. Your pace speed was perfect, not to slow, not too fast. Just right. I learned a bunch and feel a lot more confident. Looking forward to watching your other lessons. Thank you so much

THANK YOU. I have watched so many beginners set up tutorials and none made any sense to me as a beginner. This was so helpful.

Thank you! I cant believe I had it set on 4K

Great and very Helpful Video Sir.

wait so the camera doesn’t come with a lens already??

Great video!!

Amazing. I'm a noob. You helped me

thanks for these tutorials, exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you soooo much!!!!! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!!! The way you explained all of this made it so easy to understand especially by showing step by step with the camera screen on the right hand side of your video. I was completely confused by other videos thst I had watched trying to learn the perfect settings for my new M50 for recording video for my channel until I came across your tutorial! I cannot THANK YOU enough!!!! 🥰

Thx so very much for your help with the settings. I took my video off Auto and put it into manual, and followed some of the other settings -- shutter speed and adjusted my ISO and now .... no more tears, no more having to redo videos 5 times. You were great!

Love the voice. Very informative video..

Todd Fantastic video... You made this very simple for me a first time filmmaker.. you have gotten me 1000 steps closer to my dream of being the next Spike Lee😁😁😁😁

Your voice sounds like an actor in transformers

does this camera have touch to focus in manual mode ?

Thank you for this! My M50 arrived today. I fired up this video and followed along, pausing as needed. This tutorial didn't cover sound recording levels, but that wasn't hard to figure out. I'm using a Rode mic with this camera for better sound quality (for guitar lesson vids). I probably could have spent half the day trying to figure out settings, but this video got me up and running quickly.
