MY CAMERA SETTINGS - BEST CANON 80D SETTINGS 

Please give away it🙏

That is my dream cam:')

I assuming it's a video shoot you are doing with the models, instead of worrying about the focus settings, I'd start by closing down the aperture so that the focal depth is wider/bigger - it'll give you a lot more flexibility and ensure that all your models will be in focus. Also since you'll be shooting outside, you won't need to worry as much about getting enough light into the sensor - so I'd start with a minimum 4.0/5.6 aperture. Also I'd consider sourcing a wider focal length with the lens, it's going to be challenge (unless you have loads of space to stand away from your models) to get them all in frame as well as their surroundings. Maybe consider a 50mm or 35mm... With regards to my focus settings, I tend to switch between single focus mode and tracking/facial tracking - 90% of the time it's single focus though... Hope this was helpful! :)

+Vlogging Molly thank you so much Molly, glad you liked my video! I’m sure you could follow along, a lot of the changes I make could probably transfer to your T5i! Worth a try! 😊

I rocked the T5i for the longest.. it’s what I used, til yesterday!!!

The d7200 is still a great camera but if I had to choose and I did have to, I chose the 80d. I have no regrets. Like I said, both are great cameras but I chose the 80d.

Hi David, the dial on the top is in Manual mode - so M

Thank you so much I may have some more questions just trying to work it out

I do have another question my lens is a 10-18mm if I am shooting in 60frames I can’t change the aperture lower than 4.5 so what do I do? Sorry if it is a silly question. And the same goes for setting the frames to 24 frames. Do you have a solution for me?

@@1mangofruit so your aperture settings are determined by your lens rather than your camera. If you look at the top/front of your lens you should see additional numbers like 3.5-4.5, 2.8 or 1.8, and so on... All lenses have either a fixed aperture or a variable aperture. In your case you likely have a variable aperture lens meaning when your lens is at its widest - 10mm - the more open you can have your aperture, and as you zoom in to 18mm focal length, the more closed down the aperture will be, making the most it can be opened to is about 4.5 (or whatever is displayed on your lens). I hope that all makes sense.

+Navik Nanubhai thank you! I plan to start back again soon, my work life has been very busy so the channel has had to take the back seat a bit!

Leah Barbour . haha totally understandable. I’ll stay tuned for more videos in the future :)

Anyway 1 sub from me because I don’t know what I’m doing with my camera😂

+William meng oh great! And thank you! Learning how to use your camera is all part of the fun! If there’s anything in particular you’d like me to cover in a video let me know! 😄

Hi Darcy! This is curious... 🤔 Have you made sure your camera is in manual mode?

You change your camera to video mode before to get into the settings?

Jk flipped to manual and it shows much more options. I had it on scn

+Lana Marie haha! Great, delighted you were able to sort it! Enjoy your new 80D! 😄

+Zuko Sikhafungana thank you! I’m glad you found the video useful and I appreciate the sub! 🙏🏻

+Jay Malone thank you very much! Really trying to improve my lighting skills!

Thank you Nana Undine! 😉

Thank you very much! 😁

+The Textbook Travels thank you! 😁 Glad it’s helpful in some way! In video mode, if you press the Info button (to the right of the Menu button) a few times it should come up... If it doesn’t it may require some changes in the settings! I have it on a while so I can’t rememeber exactly!

+IBRPHOTOGRAPHY VLOGS thank you very much! Really appreciate it! 😁

It’s the Sigma 18-35 1.8f - a great lens!

+MAX lol, each there own I guess! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Glad you liked the video overall! 😁

No problem! 🤙🏻

+Jessie Brown thanks Jessie! Why yes I do, if you haven’t found it already in the description of the video, my ig is leah_pennyproductions 🙌🏻

+Dean Paauw do you mean Cinestyle? I tried and couldn’t get it working! So this is my work around and suggestion to anyone else having the same difficulty!

Paul younes it varies, but for recording these videos I use the Sigma 18-35 1.8 Art lens! It’s a beautiful lens!! 🙌🏻

Leah Barbour I am still discovering this cam,it's interesting to use the video mode,hope you will upload other videos during a night mode shooting,greets & keep up the good work Leah!
