Tutorial: Canon EOS 5D Mark II - External Speedlite Controls (Part I)

[Nassen0f]

Super quality video... -.-

[lmbptrout]

Useless. Can't see the menus.

[vajmera]

Excellent tutorial thanks.

[zDrMajor]

If I had 1 buck for each pixels of this videos, I would have 10$

[Clickblade1]

Have your own 5D in front of you stupid

[sikkantdotcom]

maybe should have used the 5D to shoot this video.

[sjs2657g]

Excellent tutorial, but 240p? Can you reshoot in at least 480 so we can see and read what and where you are on the flash?

[geoffdoor]

@sjs2657g yeah good call you can't see fuck all - by the way i just had a great fart really wet and corked

[Clickblade1]

Why are so many stupid people about here

[geoffdoor]

@Clickblade1 oh take your thumb out of your arse i bet you ve never done a twelve hour days shift in your life ...

[Clickblade1]

@geoffdoor haha I love it!!!!!

[bigdima3]

How many zombies can i kill using the flash light ?

[depictora]

still love my aging canon 5d mark ii, all the L lenses

[eurodestination]

In there a multi-purpose lens you can recommend for the 5d mk2?

[polzowatel]

my uncle bought this camera, the one with huge battery on the bottom, i was disappointed with picture quality, so blury, so bad at lightening, so terrible at low light.. 

[thejeffreyguy]

@polzowatel well actually is your uncle a professional photographer or has some experience with DSLR's? Because i've actually seen the 5d produce wonderful images before. Even though mine sometimes end up blurry LOL. But just out of curiosity, did he buy it as an upgrade or something?

[polzowatel]

@thejeffreyguy yes he has 5D and he kinda knows how to use it but still most of the images when u zoom in on computer are just terrible.. either it has a bad focus or i dont know.. no what do u mean as an upgrade? he had SLRs before but he buys them more for a showoff -_-

[thejeffreyguy]

@polzowatel Oh, i think you might have zoomed in too much while trying to examine the picture closely or it wasn't you weren't holding it steady enough, ect. I meant upgrade as in like he bought it to replace an old SLR that he doesn't want to use anymore but i guess probably not lol. And your uncle must be kinda rich to be having a 5D mark ii plus other SLR's. :P

[sjs2657g]

@polzowatel This camera really is a lens destroyer. Actually not the camera, but the full frame sensor. If your uncle has lenses which are quality controlled to work on cropped sensors, they usually fail on full frame sensors, and the photos won't look good. Check out SLRGEAR.com and they will give you an indication on the limits of your uncle's lenses.

[polzowatel]

@sjs2657g eh i dont think he gives a crap he just likes expensive toys, if it was my camera i would definitely check it out, in fact ill save that link because i want an SLR camera as well so it will be useful, thanks for the link and a tip!

[glenjimenez1]

This was really helpful, except I'm not sure which setting you were on when you started this. O, CA, P, Tv, AM, M, etc. This would help. Thanks.

[yogakayak]

This is very helpful, even for flash control with my Canon T2i. I had no idea how much I could do.

[euseermide]

i cant change my WIRELESS, whats wrong?

[euseermide]

i do all these but the WIRELESS SET is grey, i cant open it, what do i do?

[LordZorak11]

What the hell ? All Slaves are not treated equally.. they are Slaves they could never be equal. I'm protesting !! lol j/k :)

[gadge1275]

Great vid but do you need to keep a speedlite on the hot shoe to fire slaves. The 7d has this function but I did not think the 5d has? Or do the flashes off camera have to be mark 2? I have the 580 mark 1 and has to be on the hot shoe.

[desmonds22]

I'm new to photography and owning nice cameras. Can anyone recommend a good online resource for someone who's just starting out?

[MHM4V3R1CK]

Thank you for this video.

[thereallsyes]

7d eos music video...Ls Centz i lost my baby..continuation of Ls voicemail on youtube...My second video i ever shot using canon 7d eos did it in one day check us out

[julioleitao]

Can you tell me how to set the 5D Mark II ISO below 200 and Auto? My camera does not give me the option to go below 200 or Auto.

[007Fortis]

Where are good places to buy this camera?

[leslieupham]

Does the speedlight have to be a certain model? I have a Sunpak Power Zoom 4000AF that says it is made for Canon, but not all menu options are selectable.

[Robmin1337]

Useless to show the menu without HD :/

[fstopthirteen]

@Robmin1337

OR you could follow along with your camera. The menus aren't as complex as you may think.

[Senegal01]

And I thought my 20D had lots of options?

Looking forward to soon owning the 5D Mark II. I love all my Canons. ;)

[polzowatel]

get nikon its more professional and better for night shots

[chow3000]

True, some nikon bodys (may) take better night time shots than from some canon bodys but canons lens definately take better and sharper images than nikon lens... (fact)...

[gibor4975]

@chow3000 I've seen tons of sample images of canons and nikkor lenses on the web. most of them proves nikkor's are way sharper than canon's.

[PitboyHarmony1]

@gibor4975 - not the F2.8L's, the differences are negligible, and certainly nothing the eye could pick up. At the non L or less than F2.8's it depends on the exact lens comparisons.

[gibor4975]

@PitboyHarmony1 thanks. im a canon owner now. cheers!
