Menu Settings for the Canon R5

February 18, 2022

This video takes a closer look at some of the settings you should consider changing within the Canon R5 menu system for photography. This camera has quickly become a workhorse hybrid style camera. More than capable for almost any situation.

This is despite the negative feedback for certain issue like over heating, record times and noise levels due to the 45 mega pixel image sensor. However, I find all of these things can be mitigated, and there are certainly more plus points than negatives when using this camera on a regular basis.

Having bought the Canon R5 over a year ago now, I have had a chance to dig fairly deep in to the menu system. An amazing camera in many ways, great results so far. It’s been a fun camera to work with. However, setting the camera up with custom controls and functions will make your life much easier.

There are quite a few things that I would probably change straight away, if they haven’t already been set to default straight out of the box.
