You are proud and happy owner of Canon EOS M50.
You had it for a while and you've been playing with it for a while.
And now you are ready to move on from automatic video mode to a manual one.
So how you shoot it with EOS Canon M50?
All is coming up in today's video.
For those watching my channel first time, my name is Zdenka Darula.
I work as a photographer, I am a former model and few other things.
I make tutorials and fun vlogs so don't forget to hit the subscribe button.
Only a few months ago, I had the very same question.
How do you shoot video manually?
I found quite a bit of tutorials online explaining just that but I thought cool, but how do you
actually do it?
So let me grab the Canon EOS M50 and let's do this together.
I am back at the camera.
Set up my Canon 5D Mark III.
And I got to tell you, it took me about 25 minutes to set this up.
I just hate manual focus.
There is no autofocus.
This is the gold.
This has autofocus and it is so much easier.
You just pop it up and go.
No more trouble, like that.
Anyways, I am back.
Automatic mode is easy.
Just make sure that the dial is set to video and turn on the camera.
Done.
The problem you are going to get, is that when you shoot a scene, where lighting conditions
change, the footage will be going brighter and darker depending where the focus will
be at that moment.
To have really nice cinematic footage, you will need to switch to manual mode.
First I am going to show you how to set that up inside, in interior and once the weather
clears up.
Hopefully tomorrow, we will get some sunny day, I'll take you outdoors.
First you need to decide what frame rate you are going to shoot at.
I am going to shoot at the standard one which is 24 fps.
But, first you need to actually get out of the automatic mode so press Q, choose mode,
and hit the M, set OK.
Now let's pres Q again and let's get into a frame rate.
Now if you see 4K in 25p, and FHT in 50P, that means you need to change something again.
Go to manual, function settings, press OK, and at page number 3 you see Video System.
That means that you are set up for PAL.
Now, change that to NTSC.
Close the menu.
So now let's press Q again and look at the frame rate and now you can see 4K in 24, FHD
at 60, FHD at 30 and FHD at 24 and FHD at 60 fps.
So let's press Q button one more time and you have choices 4K at 24p or FHD at 24p.
I keep it at the FHD.
Sometimes, if I want to do 4K Broll, then I press the 4K button, but I am going to get
that crop.
So if I am filming myself, I just press FHD at 24 fps.
Next you will need to set up shutter speed.
Now here you have to remember, if you don't double, you are gonna be in big trouble.
So double trouble.
Since I am shooting at 24 fps, double would be here from my options 50.
If you shoot slow motion at 30 frames a second, you will set up to 60.
If you shoot slow motion at 60, you will set up at 120 and if you shoot very super slow
motion 120 fps you will set it to 240.
Simple right?
Next you want to set up the Aperture.
Now, if you are shooting yourself, or if you are shooting an object where you want yourself
or the object very nicely sharp and the background nice and blurry, you want to go with the number
all the way down.
So I am shooting at my lens 15 - 45mm so I am going to hit F button and I will go all
the way down, to F3.5 If I am filming for example large group of people, I increase
the number little bit to usually 5.6 and if I want to see even more sharpness, in a large
scene, then I go even higher.
Last thing you need to set up is your ISO to get the brightness just right.
Now I have ISO to 100 obviously it is dark so I have to move it little bit higher and
if I look at 200 it is OK, but if I go to 400 it will be about right in this situation.
Unfortunately the higher ISO you are going to set up, the more grain you are going to
get in your footage.
Just like I promised you, we are now outside, where is a lot more light.
And let's start with setting up a frame rate.
I am going to be shooting a standard video which means I am gonna be shooting at 24 fps.
Next I have to set up a shutter speed and since we are shooting at 24 fps, we already
know, I have to set up 50 as my shutter speed.
Next I am going to set up my ISO.
Because it is so bright, I know automatically, I am going to go as low as possible, which
is ISO 100.
To make the aperture right, I have to go a bit higher.
Now, I actually have to go all the way to 6.3 for this one.
If the sun would be out I know I would probably have to go even higher.
Here I forgot to mention something.
I am so used to setting up everything by simply looking at the screen but I totally understand
if you are new at this and if you are very unsure if the brightness is correct.
You can actually pull up Histogram on the screen in this camera.
Very simply hit the menu, then go to function settings, find page 4, where you will see
shooting info display, press that.
Then you go to screen info settings and choose number 3.
Press OK.
Now you see Histogram on the screen.
And now you have to make sure that all the data are kind of middle full.
Now back to Aperture.
So how do you set up that sweet sharp object and beautifully blurry background?
How do you bring the Aperture down on a very bright sunny day?
In my case it would be F3.5?
Well for that you will need ND filter.
It looks like this and it kind of works like camera's sun glasses.
So yes, if you are doing video outdoors, during bright sunny day, you will need ND filter.
You should have it in your camera bag all the time.
And to make it easier for you, I actually linked few ND filters in the video description
below, so check it out.
There are few choices for 15 - 45 mm lens and so you will need 49mm ND filter and I
also listed few choices for 22 mm lens which would be 43mm ND filter.
Well I promised you to show you some slow motion as well, so here is a Broll shot at
30 fps slowed down to 80%.
and here you have B roll that is shot at 60 fps and slowed down to 40%.
And finally here is super slow motion shot at 120 fps, slowed down to 20%.
Well that is it for today's video.
I hope you like it.
