[restoremaz]

Good vid, thank you.

[ZXAnimal]

you talk too slowly, it makes me want to kill myself and i cant get through more than 1min of the video =/

[MichaelTheMentor]

@ZXAnimal Please don't kill yourself.

[supakane]

@ZXAnimal Ask your healthcare professional if Ritalin is right for you.

[ZXAnimal]

@supakane no, im not american i dont need stupid drugs for imaginary crap

[jamespinderphotoman]

lol if anyone doesnt know what the shutter button does then they have just wasted £1,300 !! :LL

[mcriser]

The single most frustrating the on earth are arrogant engineers...These are the people who keep good instructions like this from shipping with their products. CEO's of the world, pay attention here.

[krazy4baja]

Thanks, Ive had my camera a while now and luv it.

[kljest98]

You're AWESOME Micheal! I just purchased your crash course on the 7D today and so far, I've gotten about one hour and 25 minutes thru your video & I've learned so much already! It was $37 bucks well spent!

[MichaelTheMentor]

@kljest98 Thank you so much! Love to hear that it was helpful- I work really hard on them! Best wishes!

[krazy4baja]

Which button is used to change shutter speed, Im not talking about fps but shutter speed such as 1/125, 1/250, 1/2500 and so on.

[x8fo5]

@krazy4baja you use the Main Selector.

[ukguy]

you spelled DIOPTRE as DIOPTER in your vid, sorry to be picky.

[MichaelTheMentor]

@phyrrusvox - Ummm...how would you describe the delete buttons functions to a beginner? On another note, how are you justified in writing off the entire "American way" based on 3 seconds from an 8 minute video? Are you from North Korea or something?

[banearu]

Okay I will try this DVD. If it is good I will make sure I let everyone know and if it is no good I will let everyone know. I feel that it will be worth the money can't wait to view it. Nice video

[anointedsword]

Notice, most of the time, it is the none doers that want to out wisdom you? :)

[FetishHero]

Depth of field preview button closes down the APERTURE blades, NOT the shutter blades. The Shutter leaf curtain exposes the APSC Cmos chip to light

[MichaelTheMentor]

@FetishHero Yes you are correct- Ive misspoken this and stand corrected. Thanks!

[snipingfox]

I think the most important external button is the on/off switch! LOL great video of a phenomenal camera!

[bintasyllah]

Raw is an adjective, not an acronym 2:44 (Why do so many people (unnecessarily) capitalize it? ;-D (I've been guilty of this myself)!

[MichaelTheMentor]

@bintasyllah All caps for RAW is correct when speaking about the format. This is how it is written in the Canon manuals.

[bintasyllah]

@MichaelTheMentor So is this the only reason it's correct? Aren't raw file formats proprietary, unlike the universal JPEG? Is it possible to have a universal RAW (Ready And Waiting) to use file format that still acts as a negative? My File type reads as: "Cannon RAW File (CR2)" So then, is everyone using the "RAW" even though there are are at least 50 different file extensions? Can you make a video about this matter to clear things up?

[drunky1022]

@MichaelTheMentor Hey I want to but your DVD but im curious to know first are you going to cover the video shooting mode. Cause I have this camera for making movies, but i wanted to make sure that you covered things for that mode, such as explaining the how to make changes to its settings and so on. =) thanks look forward to buying this DVD

[MichaelTheMentor]

@drunky1022 Yes video shooting is covered, including how to focus in video mode (which is not the easiest thing). Its nearly a 4 hour video and covers 99% of everything a beginner would want to know. Thanks!

[skatingwar]

you forgot the on button!!

[ptlofts]

this is basics for any Canon photographer.

[ironian24]

i got this guys dvd on the 7d and everything you need to know on how to use it well and it is fantastic and i have learnt everything i know about the 7d from this dvd.

[memo31]

Great lesson, thanks you so much for the video :)

[manofpics]

a great video. really helpfull for all

[toak20]

I never use the 3 buttons on the top or the top screen despite having used them all the time on my 20D. I use the new Q button - much easier to see (bigger icons), works in the dark, shows everything at the same time and doesn't involve tipping the screen as much.

[NEVER2BSY]

Amateur photographer here - Got my 7D last night. I've been eying this camera for about 2 months now. I cant wait to dig in.

[LXUndertakerLX]

@NEVER2BSY How have you got on with your 7D ?? are you using auto mode or into semi-auto or manual now??

[NEVER2BSY]

@LXUndertakerLX I am totally in love with my 7D. To be honest, I've never shot in Auto or Semi-Auto mode. I've always shot in full manual mode. I figured that would be the very best way to learn. I'm experimenting with different lenses now. Already bought a 50 1.4 and looking to buy a 70-200 in the very near future. I'm also considering buying another body. Not sure if I want the 5D or the flagship 1D just yet. Either way I know for sure that I will be getting a another body by the summer time.

[peanutapt]

Just got my 7D yesturday but guess what!?! NO FUCKING BATTERY!!!

[ILTERZOSOLE]

@peanutapt lol wtf..

[raymondigital]

very informative!

[dorykhen]

nice

[vivlan1]

vety good... thanks

[revup67]

Yeah - this is truly a great camera but also key is what lens you pick and what filters. I checked out phozone dot de not dot calm for lens reviews and settled with the 50mm f1.4 USM not the cheaper 1.8 - wow -what a lens - flawless - low distortion, low CA, low vignetting, etc and also the 15-85 IS USM and 70-300 IS USM. But beyond the lens is the filters - don't buy any cheap filter check out lenstip DOT calm - for best tested / rated UV and Polarizers - makes a big difference.

[monkeygard]

got my 7d best investment of my life XD

[TorkilDjurhuusVisual]

@monkeygard HAHAHAHHAHAHAH XD XD XD XD

[LXUndertakerLX]

@monkeygard same here bud, got the 7D and 500D as spare :)
