are you listening hi guys welcome to video number nine for the canon eos 5d mark ii and in this video we're gonna have a look at the camera setup or the spanner dole menu number two and first off its LCD brightness we've mentioned this before that you can change the brightness level of the LCD okay when it sets a manual I leave mine in the middle or you can have it set to automatically adjust according to the brightness of the conditions that you are in pointless feature because it messes up how you perceive your exposures to be on the back of the camera yes you can check the histogram for quick previews it'll mess you up and so I would leave it on manual choose a brightness setting and leave it there now if I can't see the back of the screen say on a bright sunny day and I'll stick the camera under a cover under a hat cap or on them a t-shirt to sort and see the screen and so that's fine there now date and time is fairly obvious we can set the date and time okay so we'll go back out of that we can change the language as well I'm pink for a lot of different languages some of which I have zero idea what they are okay now you can change the video system as well from NTSC so for the United States and other parts of the world Europe would be Pao okay the frame rates that you get in these will be a little bit limited in terms of the choices that they're compared to later dslr's like a 5d 360 d7 today it's a 1080p camera and that's it and you even get 25 frames a second or 30 30 being on NTSC 25 or 24 point whatever it is on POW but that said it's not a limited video camera really given what it's been used to do in films and TV and what it's not got the frame rate and resolution options of the later models so sensor cleaning also cleaning enabled that will automatically shake dust off the sensor when you turn the camera on or off works ish kind of sort of bought it will need manually cleaning eventually anyway and I clean my own sensors I've got the kids to do it you can take it to a shop pay 40 50 pounds to have someone professionally do it no thank you I'd rather do it myself save something we can tell the camera to clean now and there it is you can have it there shaking dust off or trying to shake the stuff oh we can go into clean oops manually and click that's now the mirror up leaving us access to the filter not the sensor directly but the filter and so we can clean that if we wish with cleaning products and solutions now to reset this turn the camera off and back on look there we go sensor cleaning you've just done that and there we go now a big part of this menu is the live view and moving function options like I say is limited on the choice of frame rates and the resolutions compared to all the DSLRs and it's 1080p and that's it but that's fine now if we go down to the live view and movie function settings one over Y View button is here okay and we can start recalling your movie molding manual by pressing the set button at any point okay we'll go into there we can tell the camera what live view functions we want active so we can either have it stills and movie so you can work stills plus movies if you wish stills only or have live view disabled which and public set because my nose sometimes catches that and turns it into live view when I'm shooting stills and I don't want it to go so my view I've rarely if ever use live view at all so let's call batter stills and moving if we go set next okay we can tell it to display the movie display info expose your simulation okay or stills display information only so you can customize and what is shown there for you we will have a quick look in more detail a quick look in more detail that make sense we'll have a further look in more detail at the movie mold in a later video so I won't delve into this too much just now okay there we go now good display and this is where we can change the overlay okay off grid we can either have the grid off so it shows to the rule of thirds and we can have the small grid or the more complex grid that we can see there if we go and change it to the smaller one my view grid yeah okay you've got the rule of third grid there and all you can have it turned off if you wish if you find it distracting and you know to each their own so we'll go back in now silent mode yeah okay you've got silent mode one for live live view and movie shooting silent mode 2 or completely disabled I'll disable that and there's very very very little difference in the audibility and loudness okay so it's more quiet than general shooting stills we all know that the 5d mark ii those are the clack okay that's because that was in live you say that out of live view okay he goes are there quite a clock normally so it is quieter than that in kind of caution the mirror movement or watch the mirror up in position so that's completely open all the time and it may be useful for you when shoot wildlife of course and you're using live view or you're shooting landscape with wildlife elements in there and you don't want to disturb them with the big clack of the 5d shutter okay so go back into their meeting timer now this can either be set for 30 minutes 10 minutes 1 minute 30 seconds 16 or 4 seconds so when you're shooting movies in Auto essentially or one of the semi auto modes where the camera does the exposure side for you and you can have it review the metering certain time periods have it set so it stays as is and changes less it will still shift exposures somewhat but you have a bit more control seriously if you're gonna be shooting movies not gonna be on the shooting in also also anything you want to lock it down in manual and for much more control so that's set to 30 whatever did never use it AF mode now quick mode you've either got quick bold live live mode or live face detection they also focus on the fancy soaps anyway and and its really slowing Live View because it's using phase detection autofocus rather than just the contrast base that's normally using and so it does take longer to focus in Live View and but have a look at those settings yourself see which one you prefer I don't shoot a whole lot of tripod based off still life landscape stuff so I don't really bother with these settings myself but the best thing to do would be to see what suits your kind of shooting and then you know go with that yourself okay we have here movie recording sighs okay we have 1920 by 1080 30 24 frames okay Barry matters is set to NTSC okay or 640 by 480 we don't get any 720p settings and but you've got VGA 30 frames a second net should you wish to okay welcome back to the movie side of things later on now sound recording within here we can tell it now to do sound recording levels and made to turn the sound off in the camera say it to auto so the camera deals with the gain of the audio level or we can sell it tell it to manually have whichever audio level that we wish I've got something similar set on the 60d this record in this video at the moment originally the 5d ii didn't have this feature on though there was a firmware update as well as a few other fixes and so it's worth checking that your 5d mark ii has the latest firmware most of them are what imagine given the edge of the camera probably will have and although i do know one that doesn't care okay so that's the setup menu number two looking at the brightness of the LCD date time language video system sensor cleaning and the wide view and movie function options there again we will come back to the movies part of it in a little bit more detail later stage so don't forget to like share and subscribe with these videos if you find them helpful or you think they will help something else and we will see you in the next video you
