Canon R6 Mark ii Tutorial Training Video - R6ii Users Guide Set Up - Made for Beginners

Great video - exactly what I needed after getting my R6 Mk II this week. I learnt so much, but so much information there I will have to watch again. Thank you.

very detailed and helpful

Is this about photography or about Canon R6 Mark II?

Thanks for the great video!! Is part-2 out yet?

Thank you for the info. Much appreciated. I must point out though, not every one shoots raw or crops later so the 1.6 x crop mode is awesome for many sports shooters. I mostly shoot field sports where we use jpg and print onsite at the events. There is no RAW and no editing. I choose my 7D ii over my 1DX ii currently purely for the reach on my 400mm lens. When I get my R6 ii it becomes both cameras in one and that's pure gold to me. When I shoot indoors, say Gymnastics, in lowish lighting, then full frame mode gives me some of the best IQ possible, but when I need the reach for field sports 1.6 x crop mode will help.. Its a win win :)

can the usb-c port be used to connect to an external ssd?

Hey, can u make a tutorial for Video settings for beginners? Thanks

Splendid!!! Worthy of another look.....

Michael, I went through so many videos about the Canon R6 Mkll auto focus system and your is the most comprehensive and educational one. I will refer to it until I have nailed the focus on this camera! Thank you!

I just got a R6 mk II and this is super useful. This is so comprehensive. Thanks so much for spending the time to create this video. 🙏🏼

Hi Michael, I got my R6 a few days ago and detected your tutorial by chance. Though I am not a complete beginner I found this video very helpful - especially customizing! Thank you a lot.

by far the best tutorial on the web...clear, concise and to the point! Thank you so very much for this

Thanks for the great video. I would like to be able to use the focus stack without having to select the front focus position each time. I have a small irregular item on a turntable and I want to set the focus in front of the object so with the stack, it focuses right through and out the other side. I have about 250 photos to take so not having to select and check the front focus position every time will help my workflow. Also is there an easy way to delete all the images apart from the focus stack result automatically? To do it manually isn't too bad because it auto-keeps the processed image when you select and delete one from the stack, but again, I just want to remove an operation. It's for photogrammetry.

thanks help me a lot good video

There is an icon I don't understand completely and couldn't find it anywhere. It makes my R6 Mark ii crop in on video mode. And it's not electric stabilizer. Do you mind helping me ?


It's like a frame with a person inside followed by the mm of the lens.

Too many buttons. Supposed to be a prosumer device, but has so many novice features.. Feels like it just needs FV, M & B modes and that's about it. Any of the creative stuff should be in post. Just seems unnecessarily complicated overall.

I have a question about focus lock for you, Michael. If I am in one shot, and I halfway press the shutter button or I press the AF on button, to lock the focus and fully recompose my shot I just continue half pressing the shutter or continue pressing the AF on button WHILE moving the camera, correct? For some reason this always confuses me and I wonder if I get it right. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why my screen is black when shooting manual in studio with pocket wizards and if there is a way to see my subject? Thank in advance.

tremendous

Just about required viewing for anyone, regardless of expertise, to get an overview of what the interface in this camera is about. I come from Fuji and Nikon - this is my first Canon; however, whether you are a beginner or a pro this is a wonderful introduction to this optical computer called a camera.

Fingers crossed for part 2 😊

If you were to buy a camera today for documentary/ vlog content, what camera would you choose, fx3, fuji
H26, canon 6 mark ii, or any other suggestions? I also occasionally take pictures of great content.

Awesome tutorial! I have not figured out why the focus keeps crawling/moving when I press the shutter half way. Even when I pick the focal point. TY!

Im here from the 90d video from a few years ago. Just prepping for my new cam!!!!!

looking forward to the crash course, have been checking your site weekly for months

Michael you are the best ! Tank you !

this is an excellent content!

What is the hydrogen-alpha light sensitivity for this camera for Astro photography?

This has been absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I plan to revisit a few sections because there's so much to know! Definitely interested in your crash course.

Great video. For some reason my camera won't let me modify how it writes to the card as you demonstrated in the video. On photo mode it shows I'm writing to card 1 and on video mode it shows I'm writing to card 2. It won't let me change anything.

I look forward to the crash course

Do u have any crash course for r6

Not understanding why you would use Aperture Priority and NOT use Auto ISO

Thanks for your R6 MKii help!

This is a wonderful video!!! Thank you!!!!

Exzellent! 👍

Thanks

I'm having issues with my R6II (and my R6 before that) in servo mode. It's continuously jumping and photos shot in a burst will go out of photos, back in and then out again continuously. Canon suggested not using servo for still subjects but I'm convinced it's an issue with the servo AF system.

Thank you Michael. In the space of two hours, I have evolved from a clueless newbie to a well informed aspiring photographer with this amazing R6ii. You have no idea how this video of yours have changed my perspective of being overwhelmed with the advancement of digital camera that a mere mortal can sensibly understand and work on. You have a great day ahead there. Cheers

Wonderfully clear, thank you Michael for taking the time to make this video. Has anyone figured out how to shoot tethered with the EOS R6 Mark 2? Every program I check, like Capture one, On1, Lightroom, and Smart Shooter, doesn't have this camera on their list of supported cameras yet. I tried On1 myself today, but the tether function in the program says "camera not supported." It's not easy to find Canon's own software list of supported devices, but a couple months ago I found it and they didn't support this camera either! Does anyone know when Canon will give these programs the necessary support to see this camera? Thanks, I will appreciate any information.

when i change iso, the info appears big and in the way on the screen. Is there a way to not have it pop up like that?

😳 So 😱 exposure 😳 comp 😱 ups 😳 iso 😱 omg 😳😱

Do you have a tutorial that focuses exclusively on autofocus for the Canon R6 Mkii? The autofocus menu is deep and I need to figure out best settings for run and gun type shooting. I am having issues with shooting wide on a gimbal and having stable autofocus as I move around. I've been having issues with the camera searching for focus from time to time as I'm moving around.

I just traded in my EOS R for the R6 Mark ii and spent a week or more ploughing through the 1074 page manual (this is insane), making notes and reprogramming the top-right buttons for my three primary Use Cases. However, I now realize I would have saved a lot of effort if I had known about your tutorial. Moreover, you mentioned several things I had missed when reading the manual (maybe I had nodded off?), such as the ability to use <Rate> to change the size of the AF area. Thus, I think you have made a remarkable job! Thanks.

I am an enthusiast and have the R6 Mark II on backorder no idea when I am going to get it. This is an excellent video and your explanations are clear and concise. I have saved this to review when needed, which will be quite often. Thank you for such a great job!

I shot with this for 3 days and it has a dog of a time. I see videos review persons effectively using eye tracking all the time, but i just couldn't get it to work. I''ll definitely be checking this video out asap

excellent tutorial. THANK YOU

Thank you so much for the tutorial!

How long has this camera been out? I know the original R6 has been out for some time.
