How to Use the Canon R5 for Photography

The Canon R5 is an amazing camera. I'd say it's my dream camera at this point. I've bought Sony A7IV a few months back. It does a great job and is very portable with the Sigma 28-70 lens. But when I saw images that someone took of our Halloween party with the Canon was blown away. How heavy is the R5 with the 24-70 lens? That's the combo I'd get. Also, do you have any experience shooting with the Sony. I know that's 33 vs 45 megapixels comparison. A little unfair but do you think that spending about double the money on the Canon is worth it?

The bad of the camera is the ridicul@us expensive price, that's why Canon DSLR move to Sony Cameras. You have a lots of options on A7xxx and lenses.. I never return to Canon. RIP.

Awesome review. I’m subscribing 🤟🏾

thanks for the tips , but i have question regarding jpeg IQ , i find the 5D mark 4 jpegs having better details than the R5 ( using the same L lens with the R5 using adaptor ), BUT RAW looks better in R5 . . . ( i shooot both RAW+jpeg at the same time ) . . . for client work YES i use RAW but for everyday use i find the r5 worse than the 5D4 . . any settings recommendation ? many thanks

What computer do you use to edit your RAW files and more importantly the 8K video?

Which lens do you use

Thank you for the tips, just set my R5 with most of these settings!

The title says, "How to Use the Canon R5 for Photography." Whew! I was going to use it as a can opener. DING DONG!

I have used 5D like forever, now as you well said have moved on to R5C . Beast of a photo camera and video camera.

Thanks for the joystick tip! I switched from a 7d mark ii and I’ve been lost without my joystick focus points 😅

I can’t believe you was in London and I didn’t know! And right in my area too! Glad you could check out Gods own Junkyard, it’s a pretty nifty place!

Gosh, your videos are so good, helpful, and unbelievably appealing to the eye to watch. Thanks so much, Tyler!

oh damn i had no idea i could use it for photography, i was using it till now to hammer nails and yeet it at people, thanks for opening my eyes

Dude has always been a major Canon Fanboy

Switching from the 5DMKIV to an R5 this week, looking forward to getting it. Nice tips here, thank you!

Does the adapter create a crop factor for the lens?

thanks for the video, it was a good one and just what I needed.

Much appreciate these great tips, especially coming from a former 5D user. Could I ask a quick question re your 24-70mm f/2.8? You mention that you continue with it, despite it being not quite as sharp as the similar RF version. I have also heard other pros say that the RF is better, but not by much. Here's the Q: I have the Canon 24-70 mm f/4 L. I am considering whether to upgrade to the f/2.8. I like the lighter weight of the f/4, but if I knew I could see a significant difference in image quality, I carry that extra weight. I do love good image quality. I shoot flowers and landscape a lot, and edit on a good, calibrated monitor. I have a 5D4 and may get an R5. Have you had occasion to use the 24-70mm f/4? Do you have an opinion on this? I plan also to go to the camera store, take a bouquet with me, and using an f/2.8, shoot a couple of dozen shots of it at various apertures, and a few out the door of the shop also, and do exactly the same shots with my f/4, and study the results at home. Thanks for any insight you may be able to offer!

Half of the video about sponsors 🙄

New sub! Liked 🙏👍✌️

Since switching to heif it seems computer systems still don't have software updates to view them as easily as jpeg. Any tips on viewing and processing the heif files and possibly converting them to jpeg?

Would be nice if you go straight to the point.

Masterworks looks like another scam in the making. Better steer clear before dumping your life savings into it.

Could you do one for video?

Did you have to set up a special time to get into Gods Own Junkyard and use a DSLR? Their site says no go :(

Nice video Tyler!! I love my R5 it’s been so good to me for the last year. Keep up the great videos and the podcast buddy!!

Couldn't imagine having an issue with a SD card and having to rely on a backup of a medium JPEG over a second RAW file. May be usable for some things, definitely not anything with darks & brights though.

I have always been opposed to the "Grip Down" method for vertical shooting. Your hand does not fit the camera that way. Holding the camera horizontally your fingers, thumb, and palm fall right into place. Your finger is on the shutter button and your thumb is resting in its grippy trough just waiting to press any of the buttons surrounding it or either of the dials. Rotate the grip up to vertical and NOTHING changes. Perfect hand/finger/thumb placement remain and you are securely holding your baby.
Do the same but rotate the grip down and you have to completely reposition your grip, Your hand no longer fits the camera and you are really only holding it wellish between your thumb and 2 fingers on that hand and you HAVE to use your other hand for support to do the rotation. Going grip up you can go horizontal to vertical instantly one-handed.

Always wanted to do the joystick so instanly changed for photo and video! Appectie the tips!

Peak design cuff and clutch are very recommendable if you're tired of a neck strap (clutch has the better support for a heavier camera)! Been using them for a couple of years, really comfortable in my opinion :)

Masterworks just seems so wack tbh

My first thought on grabbing/hand below was a resounding "NO!" But you make a good point on being able to tuck in that elbow. Stability is a good thing, especially at low light and/or lower shutter speeds. As far as bumping into others... I just glare at them if they come near me.😅

I love my R5!

@tylerstalman. Tyler. Thank you for this. Now that you have had time w/ both R5 and R6 and the series of firmware updates, is the R5 today worth the extra $1200 for higher IQ and deeper Video capabilities?

So good Tyler. Very useful!!!! Thanks. When are you going to get any courses up?

When I see your Meike adapter it gets me so mad about Breakthrough Filters again...it's been nearly two (!) full years I'm waiting on my preordered drop-in-filter adapter from them and all they do is apologize once every solar eclipse for all their trouble, small company and all that...

Great video ☺️✌🏽
Gonna try that af joystick setting, I’ve been using face detection mostly and when that fails switching to center group af. I have however been using the cf b card as my main and Sd as backup because the upload speeds to my computer are the fastest I’ve ever seen, my only complaint there is the card and card reader so get quite hot.

The problem with the Peak Design strap is that it can activate the touch screen of the R5 And R6 which is annoying cause sometimes it moves the focal point or activates something on the screen menu when using it wrapped around a hand.I suggest to just buy the set that can attach to the original canon strap.

Great tips!
Heif files, copyright info, and joystick focus point are three things I'm changing asap
