Today I'm gonna go over questions comments in my Youtube videos..
different places as well. But first I'm gonna start off
with Mcdonald's my usual cheeseburger no
onion and apple pie.
In the fujifilm x10 video someone said are you
saying "salad"? "One of their earlier models in that retro
solid feeling camera." Actually, midwestern English
has a lot of words that are like neaaah. Maybe if you have seen videos from Caleb
Pike. I don't know personally, but we have a similar way of speaking. So
if you can pick up on that you might start to notice this region's English.
Here's a nice one. I appreciate the positive comments.
Said he enjoyed the video. Your style is very inspiring relaxing,
but never boring. Which, I'm sure that's up for
debate sometimes. But yeah, I appreciate the positive comments all
the time. Every one of them. Here's one on the M50 and M100 AC
adapters so that's LP-E12. There is LP-E17 which is effectively the
same thing, but with a different dummy battery those are called DC
couplers. The official adapter is insultingly
expensive. Which is the case with all of the camera
companies. They always overprice the any type of AC adapter. The main
issue I have found is that it is very difficult to find a good
third-party AC adapter. I have one that works really well. But
then I bought two other ones recently that are bad. And even before
the good one I had bought two other ones that were bad. I actually bought
a multi.. a super cheap multimeter recently.. And I'm probably going to make
a video on testing the ones that I have and seeing
what the voltage is. When it's not in the camera. I actually
do have an official adapter now. That is a big problem with third party ones.
I personally don't trust any of them at the moment.
You might get a good one you might not. I've made quite a few videos on
lower cost entry-level cameras. So we're talking like 1/2.3 inch
sensor cameras. Such as the Sony HX80, which is a small compact camera. Does
have a flip of screen which is nice, but it has the small sensor. It does not have
phase detect on the sensor. So auto focus, especially
in video, is not going to be amazing. A lot of
people are asking does it work for vlogging? Does it work for
Youtube content creation? ...type of things. Yes, it can work but
you're not going to get the best out of a camera like that.
I personally would use a smartphone. Hopefully camera companies will improve
the situation. And yes, you can get by with them if you
work with it and work with the flaws and the difficulties of the
type of camera. On my somewhat recent canon EF-S 24 millimeter f/2.8
and the 30D video. Maybe making photography using the
M50 would be worth that 30D. I'm not sure exactly what you meant.
I did release the M50 video with that lens.
I filmed quite a few of them with the 24. I think I have two out and two that are
still needing to be edited. But I try to use
all the combinations and eventually make videos on all of them. Here's one on the
Manfrotto compact light tripod. This person said that the joint
where you screw in to tighten the ball head
popped out on him. The plastic broke, which I could see happening.
I haven't had it happen to mine, but you don't want to use large heavy
cameras on that tripod. I use the M50 and M5.
This tripod is the one that I've used for 20.. 30 videos now.
And it's it works well enough if you're careful
with it. Here's another one on the EF-S 24 millimeter
f/2.8 with 30D video. They were saying they're debating between the 24 and the
22. I do have footage that I did a photo
comparison with those two lenses. So that one is in the works, in a way.
But I don't know when I'll get to that one. With those two different lenses
you got the more expensive 22, but it's small and it's
native. And you have the 24 which is small but when you have the adapter it's
pretty large... in comparison at least. The photos that I
got out of the 24 so far look nice. I think they're both decent
enough. Here's one from the Fujifilm fine pix XP120 hands-on video. I did
that at the camera shop. Don't you make any free giveaway camera?
I really want to have a camera, but don't have enough budget. My channel is
not going to be one for contests. Maybe very very rarely I
might try one out, just to see how it works. But the problem
with contests is once you start doing contests people expect it, from what I've
seen of the people that do the contest.
Even if I did a contest it would only be in the United States
because there were a lot of laws related to contests. And trying to deal with the
laws and following them to the to the letter...
Would basically mean I would only do it in the United States,
if I were to do a contest. So I really don't think this person would
be in in in the United States and so you wouldn't
be eligible anyways. The amount of money I make on each video
unless it does amazingly well is a little tiny bit. It would not pay for a
camera. This one has some misconceptions or not enough information about lenses
and registration distance. They're saying
they want to use the EF-M lens on the EF mount.
If it is technically possible it would need elements inside the adapter.
If the registration distance is like this for EF...
Just imagine the EF-M is way up here. So that you put the adapter in, you fill
that distance. But if you are starting here and your
registration distance for your camera is way back
here. It's not going to work without doing something optically. So
it's.. I... highly doubt you'll be able to do that.
Someone asked me in one of my M50 videos... He saw that the camera was at iso 100
and in his camera it's stuck at 200. There's probably some type of
highlight priority tone HDR mode. Something that
is forcing the iso up. And it looks like he might
be using that cine style video profile, which you can push into the camera.
I haven't used it but I can assume that if it's trying to
mimic a log format. They would usually up the iso. Here's a comment on one of my
older videos. the auto Chinon 55 millimeter f/1.7
M42 mount lens. Said they notice yellowing.
Is that a radioactive lens? I don't know if that specific one
is, but it could be. That era of lenses had radioactive elements or radioactive
coatings in them. At least a few did. So there is a
pentax lens which I have the 50 millimeter f/1.4.
But it's the older version that does not have the radioactive element
in there. But the updated version of that lens
of that time period did have the radioactive
element. Here's just an interesting thing I noticed. The
Nikon Coolpix W300, the person said with the Nikon
25 second slow shutter speed, whereas the Fujifilm XP
120 can only do four seconds. So waterproof cameras are really limited
most of the time with what they can do. It's nice to see that at least
it has a longer shutter speed for that Nikon.
On the Nikon Coolpix B600 video, said can we make short films
using the camera. You can use any camera that has a video mode to make
films. If you want specifics like if it would work well. I don't think it would
work very well. One, it's the tiny sensor. Two, it's the slow lens. Three,
it's the contrast detect autofocus. This Specific
camera, from what I can remember, doesn't have
any type of manual settings. So it would be a very poor choice
for doing video work. I've seen this commenter post a few times about
uh this request.. Zizzy says hopes to one day see me do street
photography looking forward to scenes of town cities from your angle.
I did the video with the Endurax backpack, which I went down to
a city area. Took some photos there. So if you're interested that is
one video. I do have a video with my friend.
We went to a city market took some photos, actual street photos,
so that would be a good one. Mostly his photos, not mine.
The main issue is logistics with tripods.. or.. because I'm filming myself.
And also there are some hassles related to just going
with a bunch of.. around people.. uh.. especially now with the COVID situation.
When I did that video on the backpack I had two people...
Basically, one asked me for a lighter. He didn't get very close, which was fine.
And another one was the asking me for money. It honestly happens to me a lot
and I've even had a person come up to me when I was
sitting alone in a fast food restaurant. Act like he
knew me and eventually get money out of me.
It was because I wanted him to leave and I just followed along with this little
thing. So doing city stuff sometimes is not
great considering hassles like that. But I might eventually try to do some more,
we'll see. Here's one on the Canon EOS M50 issues quirks and
missing features video. Said my M50 camera captures black photos
at higher shutter speeds. Chances are you're using a manual mode.
And if you adjust your shutter speed too high you're not going to have enough
light coming into the camera. So the photo will effectively be black.
Now, you could pull it into an image editor
and lighten it up. You'll see something in there. But basically you need to
learn how to use the exposure triangle. Shutter speed, aperture, and iso.
Using those together. Using the meter in the camera to make sure that you have a
decent enough exposure. Or just use one of the auto
modes. Here's an interesting one with the
action photography settings with the Canon
EOS M50 camera settings talk video. The person said that they put the viewfinder
switching button to the trashcan shortcut button. it's.. I
guess maybe it's a little easier to press
down there. Which that's a good idea. I haven't tried it but
I might try it out to see how easy it is to press.
Here's a good one, the person was saying they're interested in buying either the
M5 or the M50 but they're focused on quick
photography. So in this case I think you should go with the M50.
The M5... the autofocus is good enough in my opinion. There are situations, especially
with adapted lenses, that the M5 will not feel prompt.
However, in my opinion, not having custom modes is a big drawback.
Having less buttons to control stuff directly is a big drawback.
So at least what I would do is I would get the M5 but if I was doing action
photography either is not amazing. There is the M6 mark II...
of course, which is a quick camera. I haven't
used it personally, but definitely good for higher frames a
second better tracking. Hopefully we will get at least one more
EF-M really functional quick camera, we'll see.
I do get a lot of comments on the A6100 video
where I compared it to the M50. If you want to do straight photos mostly go
with A6100. I think the sensor is better. You'll get
better low light. You'll just in general.. uh.. considering that but
With autofocus, especially at 1080p video I think
they're a toss-up. One more comment this will be the last one.
If this person sees this, please don't take this wrong...
It was amusing how you worded it and the question itself.
So I'm just gonna have a little fun with it, but.. uh.. hopefully you understand what
I'm saying. He looked at the video with the Yongnuo 100 millimeter f/2 lens.
"I just want to ask if this lens can manually zoom" It's a prime lens so
manually zooming is going to be with your legs so... uh yeah...
That's a common joke. With prime lenses, you have to zoom with your feet.
Basically he has a yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 and he's trying to do street
photos. He wants more blur in the background.
It would be good to get a longer focal length like you're trying to find.
You were saying zoom lenses are better for what you're doing. So yeah definitely
go for the type of lens that you want. But then he mentioned later on that
price is a big issue. Longer focal length, in my opinion, is not
good for traditional street photography. Because you're getting too close to the
subject. You're not getting any context, which
kind of.. in my opinion.. kills the idea of a street photo. But
yeah so of course you can zoom with your lens.. leg...
So you can zoom with your legs in a prime lens you can
crop in. You can use.. some cameras have a digital zoom
feature to it. Um but yeah. Probably get a get some type of zoom lens.
So I really do respond to a lot of the comments, at
least as I'm able to. Uhh, that really depends on how much
traffic I get. But yeah, anyways hope you enjoyed this
video and found it useful.
