Setting up the Canon 70D to shoot video 

As soon as he tossed the manual across the room, I decided to tune in lol

A no bullshit tutorial. Thanks mate

Quick tip: if you want 30fps you need to select NTSC rather than PAL. Apologies for being late to the party but I only just got a like-new 70D as a backup camera.

Very very helpful. Bought my 70d today ( my first ANY camera ever ) Your explanation is a breeze. Thank you !

Thank you , love your content and also very straight forward . Settled in 5 mins . Currently working on a short film . Your tips really helped!

This helped me a lot! I got my 70D without a manual, so your video was perfect since it was recording for very little time. Thanks Grant!

I actually just got the 7D and while there are some differences this was a great tutorial. Thanks so much!

You my friend, are the best! Thank you very much for uploading this.

thx for the tips!

Superb video. Straight to the point and zero bollocks. Thanks. Subscribed.

Thank you for sharing this info. Very informative! My camera is in the air somewhere and I should receive it on Wednesday. Can't wait!!!

Thanks for your input . I have a new Canon 70 d which I learning about settings for RU-vid so hopefully that will help . I'll try it out tomo on a small video 😎

Thanks sir I will definitely try this one question.. How do you color grade or color correct!? And do you prefer it or nah? Thanks sir

you had me at throwing away the instruction manual. good video. thanks

That was Awesome learnt so much in short space instead of reading the Manuel

Great straight to the point video thanks

Thanks soooooo very much!! This was super duper helpful, Grant! Much appreciated!

Thank you for your help. Very insightful!

This video helped me so much! I'm such a newbie to this I didn't even know how to put the camera on the video setting, lol. :D Thank you!!

Very nice! Love how you chucked the manual! Classy! Thanks for helping me get mine set up.

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!

Amazing, straight to the point and a lot to learn. Subbed!

Thanks for this tutorial as has given me the help and confidence to move off auto and onto manual! Heading off on a trip to Finland and will be using manual based on this........

Thanks for your VDO. It's useful and I like your Blog too. Thanks

Really great! Just what I was looking for. I shoot with the 70d with a EFS-24 and my video is a bit cluttered and unsharp. I will try out your settings!

Thanks - this was actually very helpful.

Very instructive.. I have the manual but found this video easier to follow ...I need to sort my 90 D now .

Thank you for sharing this info :) Hope it will make my shooting from my travels more nice looking.

Very nice video, Grant. Thanks very much. I like the 70D generally, but I'm quite disappointed by the manual. These instructions quickly put me on the right track.

Wow, great detailed explanation. Thanks so much!🙏🏾

Thanks for the tips very use full

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you very much, very simple and to the point!

Tnks! Very complete and usefull!

Great video. I'm getting ready to buy this camera and this told me exactly what I needed to know! Thanks! I look forward to checking out your other videos too.

Some heads up tutorials before I get into all these things, the pics taking and video shooting and I can say that it was pretty helpful still after all these years, therefore thankyou so much!!

Hi Grant - from a fellow Aussie, (hope I got that right as you might be a kiwi) - I just want to give you a HEARTFELT THANK YOU for this brilliant short instructive video on how to set up a Canon camera to shoot videos for dummies. And that is me! We have owned one for 2 years and took lots of photos with it, but few videos. And today with your instruction I got it set up, managed to download my first video to i-movie, do some basic editing, export the bloody thing, and upload it to Facebook, and it looks just fine!!!!!!! Thanks mate. Very grateful.

Excellent and to the point.

Nice one Grant. Thanks mate!

Great tutorial...straight to the point

Excellent video .... Short and too the point. Just what I needed to hear.

My fiance just got me a brand new Canon 70D and this video was very helpful!

thanks !

I am a film and television production media student at the moment I have been looking for about 2 months to help me find the perfect settings for my camera and by god you have saved my life this is going to help me so much with my college course. You have solved my lighting problem with this I only have the sound problem now I have the Videomic pro rode mic have you got a video explaining the best settings for this because that would be highly appreciated again thank you keep up the great work.

Thank you so much! This was such a help, right out of the box. Plus, my husband is an Aussie, so it was like having my brother-in-law help me with my camera. Thanks so much.

Hi Grant, I loved the video. Very GOOD. You are the one... Thank you very much... Really helped me...

I just bought my cannon 70D for my RU-vid cooking Channel. And I was so intimidated with how many options it has. I have an old Cannon Rebel which is so easy to use. Thisone is a big Jump! I read the manual from A to Z which I NEVER DO normally!! And took my first video with this Queen of Intimidation...The video sucked.. I Google and watch your video. YOU had my full attention after throwing that annoying manual🤪😂👍👍. You helped me A LOT. I will take a mother video tomorrow and see how it goes with the settings you showed.

Informative video. Thanks

Hella helpful. Thank you for this!!

Another excellent video, Grant! Thanks a lot!

Thank You Grant !!

Very useful, thank you.

Yes, great video. Actual tips 👍🏻

Really helpful, thanks!

Thanks, hope to use this when I buy mine :)

Great video Grant :) thank you

Learned a LOT! Thanks!

Totally freakin badass. I was actually googling for ages to find how to change my "internal mic into 25%", as I am using the Rode Pro. There is no tutorial on this and a keyword search comes up pretty empty. So I'd definitely add it in your keywords, that you include the option where to find it. Thank you thank you thank you Grant. You just upped my Vlogging game.

very fun when you throw away the manual. Nice video mate, thanks for share it

This helps a lot for taping auditions because I've been shooting in Auto and you can't adjust the sound level input in that mode so I was dealing with a lot of hiss.

yes sir thanks for details

thank you sir ,, will try it and let u know

great video.

G'day Grant. Glad I found you. You had me when you threw the instructions away! Just bought your course for the 70D.... Great deal! I just can't believe I paid actual money to learn anything from a bloody Kiwi. Thanks mate.

Great tutourial for a first time user. Wish me luck!

Love the intro, need a small get up short intro song for it🙌🏻

Thank you 🙏

Kiwi represent!

i like the tutorial thanks

Outstanding. tahnks!

Thank you !

Thanks for the insight 👍

Just found your channel. 😀 Great video. Thanks so much. It's 2016 and this video and info is still relevant and necessary. 👍

thanks Grant you are cool

Just bought this puppy today. Looking forward to more videos. Glad you're on RU-vid and not Vimeo!

Thank you so much!!

Being a novice, I did find your info very helpful. Thank you very much. Do you do learners courses?

nice to hear an NZ accent. thanks

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Perhaps you can do a video about the Picture Style and show examples of video with different settings without any Post edits.

oh man that is one good looking thing

I'm borrowing a 70D for a video shoot and I had to get it setup for video. Thanks Grant!

Hi Grant, I see a small delay in display ing my 70d, just on the screen, when playing or replaying everything right. Is it normal that small delay ?. I come from a t5i and I dont see delay in the display. You could tell me if it is normal on 70d ?. Greetings!

I love this video and have set up my 70D as you suggested but, how do I set up the other side, the camera side to get the best still photographs I can get from my camera. Thanks! I've been a subscriber for a fairly good while. Any information you can send would be great!

Thank you great video

Thanks for the info, can you talk about the settings for audio of you were using a rode video mic pro?

THANK YOU SIR

You are Excellent

Waiting for my 70D to arrive.Have previously used a Canon XM2 camcorder. Only SD but so easy to use when compared to using a DSLR. But your video will greatly assist, thank you. Have you used the non-manual LIVE view for video?

You need to disable the wi-fi on the first menu shown as well as movie recording does not work with wi-fi enabled. Video could do with some more details on setting exposure / ISO /f stop, I was looking for settings for nigh time video.

Hi Grant, just wondering after I've set these settings, can I switch back to Av mode? So that my shutter speed, iso, white balance etc is retained and I just want to be able to contol aperture? Best regards!

great. thanks.

Thanx soo much

hola queria saber si el curso que vendes lo tenes subtitulado ya que soy de argentina y no domino tanto el ingles saludos y gracias martin

nice work sir !! i hope this will work cause I'm having difficulty using this camera !

How do I use the flash while I'm taking video? I'm new with the camera and it won't let me shot video with the light on. I use manual

Hi, Thanks for your video. When you capture the video in Premiere (I have the CS4 version) which setting you use?

I'm going to be doing some shooting at night time in Times Square in NYC in a few weeks. Because of all the lights in Times Square, what settings for shooting would you recommend for that?

Great video but I must admit, other than the optional user neutral setting, I think these were all set!

I have the rhode mic so don't have it on auto? I really new to this.trying to figure it out.trying to make video don't know what the best sitting is.

when i vlog should i keep it in manual or automatic, i find it easier in automatic, and im wondering if i will lose quality in automatic?
