what's going on you guys my name is daniel and welcome back to the channel where you think
mirrorless canon cameras today we're going over things on the r6 and the first settings
that you should be changing when you pick it up in my opinion there's some pretty good ones
let's get into it first off i already have another video over here on how to adjust all
the settings inside your viewfinder to make it as optimized as possible for your own use
for whatever situation that you're shooting using histograms levels grids and stuff like
that you can check it out over there we're not going to go any further into stuff like
that with that being said there is one that i left out and it is the adjustment compensation
and the af touch and drag and we're going to go over those two right now all right what af touch
and drag does is it allows you to move while you're up in the viewfinder it allows you to
move around the focus point using the screen as if the screen were a joystick it's pretty useful
pretty neat and the way to set that up is you go into the af file number one and the very bottom
touch and drag settings enable and then absolute and i have mine set up to the right hand side
absolute and relative what that means is that it's going to be absolute position that you put
your finger or the relative as if you're just swiping it will go in that direction
then the active part of the screen that is workable i put it to the right hand side so that
my face isn't actually touching the screen and moving my focus points this is something to play
around with and see if it's for you or not if not you know at least do something new you tried next
is adjusting auto iso and the compensation thereof i find that my pictures tend to be a little bit
brighter than i would like them to be when i'm in auto iso so if you go into your info right in here
and this this screen that just popped up we'll talk about that in a minute how to make sure
that you're actually writing to both cards so when you have auto you go down to this q in the
right hand side make sure that your iso is on auto and then you're allowed or then you can
adjust this exposure compensation and this will mean that instead of being exactly in the middle
where it normally would go it is going to then bring your iso down a little bit so you don't
overexpose and i put it down by one stop all right next up we're going to go into how to get
your camera to write to both the cards because i shot at wedding and they were only running to
one of the cards when i thought it was running to both the cards and that's not a very fun situation
to be in when you finally discovered that only one of your cards has all your photos on it so in
the tool number one you go into record function card and folder select so you go under to your
photos and then record to multiple just like that standard will only write to the original one in
card slot number one and you can do the same with your video recordings as well next we're going to
go into stabilization of the camera because the r6 has a wonderful i think it's five stops of
stabilization inside with ibis and this will turn off every time unless you select it to turn on
always when shooting photos so under the camera red seven you go into is image stabilization mode
and then you do still photos is always on only four shot yeah so always on and that will keep
the digital stabilization on and on and on so that you're getting this because it's awesome
and it's useful unless you're on a tripod that is pretty much the only time that you
want to turn this off next is the red beam of death turning it off for when you're shooting
live living subjects because they don't like having a red beam blasted into their face
while you're taking photos of them so to turn this af assist beam firing off
you just simply go into af purple number two and af assist beam firing and turn it off
i find this to not really be all that useful even when you're not shooting living subjects
