I just bought an R7 this week. You've saved me countless hours and doubtless considerable frustration. I can hardly thank you enough.
-
Very very happy to come home, relax with coffee, and see this video!!! Thank you so much for this!
-
Hi Jan - happy to have your video as I'm shooting on the R7 as well. A note on the topic of "saving battery": I have configured the Mf-n button with the stand by function. For example, when I'm walking around, I can easily put the camera into sleep mode, which saves battery, and quickly wake it up again with a simple click on the shutter
-
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always Jan, keep up with the awesome content ππ€
-
Thank you ! Thank you Jan .You and Duade have helped me overcome my frustrations with my R7. I now look forward to shooting because I have methods I can use for making adjustments. Thanks again I am grateful.
-
Iβve just been checking out my R7 learning how use it effectively and jan wegener Iβve learnt a lot re settings so definitely want to watch more of your videos to get the most out of my R7 you are amazing for sure.π
-
Thanks for sharing your settings, Jan.
-
At 5.45 you talk about the noticeable blackout between frames in the viewfinder when using EFCS. You can fix this by setting High Speed Display to On (red menu 8). This turns on live view between each shot in continuous mode so that the display is essentially continuous (it flickers slightly). Note that it only works with certain settings (limited to the H mode, not the H+ mode, shutter speeds above 1/30s and apertures larger than f/11).
-
Thanks so much for all your hard work figuring out what all those settings do. You've saved me a ton of work!
-
Full agreement, I use almost the same settings from the beginning and have little to no problems. As always, you have brought this well to the point!π
-
Thanks Jan. Great info. Having moved from the 70D I must now try back button focus
-
Thanks for sharing this information Jan! When I use raw burst mode the action I want is always right before I hit the shutter so I only do a short tap on the shutter. The buffer fills much more quickly since I'm only capturing a couple of shots from after the shutter was pressed and I only have to wait a second or two before I can use it again or use a different mode. I'll get all those pre-capture shots and just a couple from after that.
-
Excellent tips. Thanks for putting this together. I look forward to trying these settings.
-
Thanks for repeating this so I can benefit from your great experience again. / Per from Denmark
-
Amazing and very helpful video Jan. I did all changes you suggest and can't waint to go to the field and test the new settings.
-
That was great thanks Jan. I also set up te left button to activate shooting mode selection and the Up button as you did for ISO, but I usually use AUTO ISO
-
thanks for this great guide. I just received my r7 and had a great time following along. I cant believe all the settings available in this camera. I feel like I'm off to a great start here.
-
Geweldige informatie. Veel gebruikte TIPS! TOP Jan.
-
Jan, that video is incredibly clear and helpful. Thank you.
-
Most of these setting suggestions work for my R5 and R6, too. Thanks!
