My Canon EOS M Menu Settings (step-by-step tutorial)
My Canon EOS M Menu Settings (in-depth tutorial)
Happy New Year everyone! Hope you're all well-rested from the holidays and are ready to crush it this year by achieving all your filmmaking goals!
In this video, I walk you through the entire central menu of the Canon EOS M mirrorless camera and show you what settings I personally use. Just a heads up—I don't cover the menu settings of the Magic Lantern firmware. This only focuses on the EOS M itself and its internal functions.
This was requested by Charlotte Driweave. Hope it helps!
And thank you Eugenia Loli for the special tip on highlight priority!
It's pretty long video, so timestamps are listed if you want to jump ahead at any point.
If any of you have any tips you’d like to share on how you set up your camera, drop a comment! It helps me and other viewers.
