Hello again for those watching my channel first time

Let's roll today's video! Well I shoot Cannon for 12 years now and I have this
big full-frame cameras like this one which is a Canon 5d Mark III and these are
amazing absolutely amazing for photography but not so much for video
unfortunately. I prefer autofocus and these cameras don't have it. I was so
thrilled when I learned about this camera Canon M50. I bought it, unbox it
and now I'm using it for a few weeks and honestly I only have to say good things
about it is becoming very quickly my most favorite camera by far. First of all
auto focus is amazing. There's also eyes in the focus feature. The weight of
this camera is only 387 grams which is really light. Honestly I cannot even
imagine me walking around with my full-frame camera trying to vlog. It's
just really heavy and I don't think my arms would like it very much. It's great
for guys with big muscles but hey my girl and I
like this this is really really light, so Canon M50 is definitely it for me.
When it comes to vlog, this camera is really easy to use and i'm very happy
that i can actually use my other Canon lenses with it and if I pair it with my
phone I can have fun taking a lot of selfies.
So let me show you my complete setup and sample footage of all individual lenses
and by the way all the gear, lenses and accessories when it comes to Canon M50
I'm gonna be talking about in today's video, will be linked in a video
description below so feel free to check it out at any time. So let me start with
the actual camera Canon EOS M50 and this one actually came with this lens
which is 15 to 45 millimeters the aperture starts at 3.5. Now, I could have
gotten with another lens which would be 18 to 55 millimeters but I decided to go
with this one 15 to 45 millimeters just because it's
gonna give me a little bit more of the wide angle. And now I know some people
might say kit lens you know what I tested this one out I took a lot of
photos with it and I'm really impressed. The photos turned out really nice so I
can highly recommend this and bonus if you're actually getting the kit if you
are getting this lens as a kit lens you are probably paying around $60 for this
but if you are buying this lens separately you're gonna pay at least
$300 so it's a good deal. So now that I set this up and I have the lens on and
the camera is on here's the actual sound and picture from this Canon camera with
15 to 45 millimeter lens and no external microphone. Next I'm adding this external
microphone RODE which actually came with this camera as well. So here's the
actual sound from this camera and 15 to 45 millimeter lens and external
microphone RODE which is sitting on top of this camera. Next step, I'm going
to grab ND filter which kind of works you know like your sunglasses. It will
actually block light on those really really bright sunny days. For photography
you can control the exposure so we can leave the camera with higher aperture
for a longer period of time. And for the video ND filter helps to keep the
settings so you can have this beautiful blurry background and crispy sharp
subject. So here's footage without ND filter and here is footage with ND
filter. So this particular ND filter I got is Pro Master 52 millimeter digital
HGX variable ND filter and to fit it on my 15 to 45 millimeter lens I'm actually
using step up a ring filter adapter 49 to 52 mm and again everything
I'm talking about in today's video will be linked in the video description below.
And if you add this Joby Gorillapod you end up with this beautiful very
lightweight vlog set up. Before we get to other lenses let's talk about the
batteries a little bit more. Now everybody needs extra batteries as we
know especially when it comes to mirrorless cameras they don't last for
too long. To save money you can go be the cheaper option you don't necessary have
to buy Canon battery like this one. I actually bought Wasabi power of
battery it's LP E12 battery and they come in two
and they can she came with this charger as well. The cost was $26 which is really
good. Now one more thing when it comes to batteries. When you stop taking photos it
takes some time before the camera shuts off. Now basically that is eating your
battery. To increase your battery you can tweak the button settings on this camera.
I saw somebody else setting up the trash button here to shut off the screen I
tried it I can highly recommend it it works great so that's why I'm including
it in this video. I'm gonna show you how to set that up. So we are going to hit
the menu button. Now we are going to function settings, custom functions.. You
will see the trash right here. Hit the trash one more time. Hit the trash again
and you will go down all the way to this one. Zzz
and hit set, OK, now when you're actually taking photos and hit
the trash button right here, the display shuts off. Now it's time to
show you my other lenses. Now I can fit them on Canon M50 with lens
adapter which is this one. Now you can get better from Canon but if you are
watching your budget just like me you can actually get this one.
I've got Commlite CM-EF-EOS M electronic out of focus lens mount adapter and it's
about $56 which is great. The first lens I'm going to use is 50mm Canon
portrait lens. It's only about $100 but it's just spectacular amazing little
lens and I'm going to mount it on this adapter. And I've got to say this is a
must when it comes to camera lenses you just have to have it in your camera bag.
I have this lens forever. I love it. And here's also sample video footage with 50
mm lens and the nice thing about is 50 mm lens that if you
already have the ND filter which you are using with the 15 to 45 millimeter lens
you can just take it and without the step up ring it actually fits on the 50
mm lens. Now I also have a macro extension for this 50 mm lens so
I can actually take some macro photos. So now that I put it all together here is
my 50 millimeter lens here is an extension tube which is for macro shots
and here is my adapter so now I can actually take some beautiful macro
images as well and here are samples of the macro images I took. Next lens I
have here is Canon 24-105 mm and again with this adapter you can use
it with Canon M50 so let me just adjust it all together. Here we go
so and still makes it pretty light you know it's a big lens but
this little camera makes it very very light and for this lens which is 24
- 105 mm the Canon lens I actually have and ND filter
as well and this one is a Tiffin 77 mm variable ND filter. So let me
go outside and I'll take some sample footage for you to see how it looks like.
The last one I'm going to show you today is this one. This one is very heavy
and it's 70 - 200 mm telephoto lens my absolutely favorite. Like I said
it's very heavy and this one has stabilizer which I really
love so if you are getting this telephoto lens make sure there is
image stabilization it's definitely worth spending the extra money on that. The
only thing I'm missing in my setup is gimbal to get this really beautiful
smooth crispy stable footage like I'm getting with my smartphone DJI Osmo Mobile 2.
gimbal. So right now I'm in a shopping mode I'm looking around I
am choosing between few different models and I will definitely let you know which
one it's gonna be. Last tip for today's video will be about the record button.
You can see his little red dot here and it's kind of hard to find it which just
makes more sense if you can start and stop video recording with the shutter
button. So let's tweak some settings on this
camera to change that so you can actually start and stop recording with
the shutter button. Go to shooting settings, click OK. Now you will find on
page 5 button function click on that and go to fully press and change it to start
and stop recording. Go back to menu and you're set. So now
actually when they are taking video all you have to press is this one to start
and stop recording. So there you have it. I hope you got a lot of information out
