PLEASE WATCH THIS MORE IN DEPTH UPDATED VERSION (2024) AT THIS LINK:    • 2024 Canon R5 Setup Guide for Wildlife / B...   In this video, I'll slowly take the beginner through all the settings that need to be changed in the R5 or R6, in order to photograph birds. I'm also going to explain and "double-demo," via the use of a screen recorder (I can share my viewfinder with you), the amazing Canon autofocus system, including showing you how and when to use each of the 8 autofocus modes (akas, system, menus). I bet even some of you experienced users will learn a thing or two from this video:-) I'm also going to explain the 5 different case modes and tell you which one is best for different situations.
