are you listening hi guys welcome to video number 8 for the canon eos 5d mark ii okay in this video we're gonna have a look at the settings menu or the spanner menu gold menu number one try not to leave them a voice here so the first option we have is power off or auto power off options and we can set these by pressing the set button and using either the job stand dial there or well link up and down using the wheel and two you know the time spans that you can see there all the way up to thirty minutes or if it's off it never goes into standby mortis or power saving mode mine lives on four minutes never felt the need to change it next we have auto rotate and i have that set so it's only four they can on for the computer so it doesn't rotate on the camera and otherwise what happens is when you've got a portrait orientation which will be that way up shot it just displays it across the middle of the screen wasting all this space at either side and so what I tend to do is make sure it doesn't rotate until it imports basically and so I can have a full preview of a file there I mean the screens are small enough on the cameras for judging image quality so why make it more difficult so next one is format where obviously we can format the card which I'd don't want to do on this one so what cancel out of that and we have the file numbering options where we can set continuous auto research so it resets the counter each time okay continuous will run from zip from file 0 0 0 0 1 or however many guys how many however many zeros all the way up to 9999 and then it will reset automatically what the auto reset will do it will reset for each chute so each card automatically resets so I'll just let the camera cycle through and use up the number range if you will and then we got onto the card and of course you can have it manually reset as well if you want to reset it back to zero I'm sure you wish to you might want to do that if you're shooting with 2 bodies may be a primary body on a secondary body with different lens setups on and you want the file numbers to be different so you know that your primary body starting at file number 5000 and your new body reset to 0 so they're not going to overlap within that wedding that event whatever they doing so it could be useful for that so that's a quick look at the camera settings menu number one sorry missed one select folder almost visual in Goodman okay am select folder you can pick which folder you want to save files to review files in and of course you can create a folder should you wish to separate images per shoot per event the path of the day may be that you're covering and so if you're fair I would probably rather put in a new memory card okay now create folder 1 0 2 and we can see that 1 0 or 2 1 0 or 1 have zero files in 100,000 50 files in like I say I'd rather put in new cards so that when you're not risking one card calls pod you lose the whole lot I will be changing cards per different times of the day for an event like a wedding or something like that I'm just a bit of a safety net really you would lose some files yes but not absolutely everything ok so that's a quick look at now that's a quick look at the camera setup menu number one so the spanner menu number one and in the next video we'll have a look at the menu number two before we get into the further options like custom functions you
