what is going on you guys my name is daniel and welcome back to the channel
we go over everything mirrorless canon cameras and today we
are going over the viewfinder settings that are going
to help you take better photos in the r6 at the end of this video
you're gonna have to put a grid how to use a level
how to have a histogram how to change the size of that histogram
a simple trick on how to speed up your workflow and then how to adjust
power settings for your viewfinder for performance
or to save your battery life if you enjoy short videos that help you improve
your photography and videography skills with
canon mirrorless cameras don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel we
will be having more videos on how to use the r6 coming up
alright so if you only want to watch this video up to here i'm going to
you know make it pretty simple for you if you want to do just the basics basics
is just press info info info while you go
there and that will talk you through most of the settings that
i'm going to be talking about today now in order to customize these and make
them more personal or usually when the
histogram is there in factory settings it is very large so if
you want to shrink that so it's not obscuring your view as you're taking
these photos we're going to continue on to
how to do stuff like that but info info info will get you started
now the viewfinder and the back panel do pretty much the exact
same thing and but they're separate from one
another so whatever you have on here shows up there except for the settings
you can then toggle them as well by pressing info info
info to adjust these settings well let's first
first go over the exposure simulation which is pretty much
the reason why mirrorless cameras are so awesome so if you go into your menu
exposure simulation enabled if it's not enabled so there's
situations where you would disable the exposure simulation but those usually
are in studio settings and when you're using flash this allows you to see
exactly what the photo will be like when it comes out so as you adjust your
settings so your iso and shutter speed your photo
and it will show you exactly what it will be like so when you press that
button whatever was on the back screen will be your photo
that's what exposure simulation next up is photo review
so having the photo review up top
and this is all under the red camera number seven
the photo image review allows you to review
the photo inside the viewfinder it's normally set to disabled.
but if you don't want to pull your face away to be able to review your photos
every time this is how you do that next in order to
customize these settings that show up inside your viewfinder when you press
info info info you come down to shooting info display
go into that and then screen info settings and these
this allows you to toggle which ones you want to show up
i have them all selected because i end up using them if i was to take one off
it would probably be number five because i never go into
that larger screen because all the information is already there that was
more of a uh dslr function then you can come
down here to the grid and you can set it to whatever you want
off or the three by three then the histogram display is what's
most useful for adjusting it and that will be the
brightness or rgb which means you can see the red
green and blue which can be useful depending on what
you're trying to do but for the most part white balance is pretty good inside
this camera display size i always put it to small so
there's not as much obscuring the view and what that is if you come in
here you see how small this is in that corner and when you
adjust it to be the larger one it simply takes up a lot more room
inside your photo and the histogram is awesome
because you can see exactly where the exposure
is and if you're overexposing or underexposing because sometimes it can
be difficult to see exactly what it is from the
screen leading us into our next setting that we're going to adjust which
is going to be the brightness of the back screen or the brightness of
your viewfinder and this helps you so if you are chronically over
exposing or under exposing just putting the brightness to the other side of the
spectrum will allow you to be able to compensate
for that and take the photos more accurately and stop under an
overexposing as well the histogram helps viewfinder
brightness can be found in the wrench not under number three
and viewfinder brightness so if you go in there and you can adjust it
lower then you will be seeing a darker image which
will then usually push you to increase the iso
in your image therefore exposing it more and the vice verse is also true as well
you can select in this menu under the wrench number three under
screen slash views finder display if you go in there
right now it's automatically set up to switch between and toggle between the
viewfinder up top and the screen below so when you go into
viewfinder only or screen only then you will only
have the screen available to use or the viewfinder you use depending on how you
want to use your camera in that situation that is what it will
do next we're going to adjust the actual
performance of your viewfinder and that is done under
the red camera number eight so when you go into their display
performance you have a power saving mode and a smooth no this does this increases
the refresh rate on your viewfinder and this will
allow you to see more accurately during sports and stuff like that not
very useful for a studio but is very very useful for sports i'm
not exactly sure what they were i know 60 hertz was the max on the r i'm not
sure what this one was and then the last thing like i promised
a little bit of uh just helping your workflow when you were
taking photos what you can do all you have to do is
press this button right there and that will allow you to use this
joystick to move around the focus point and as well you can use this top one to
move it left and right so this has been how to use your r6 and
the viewfinder a lot better and set it up to customize your
