How to use
Turn the camera on and use the touchscreen to select video or photo mode. For standard high-resolution clips select 4K recording; choose 4K 60p for smoother motion or Full HD 120p for slow-motion. Enable Canon Log 3 when you need greater dynamic range for post-production grading. Use the vari-angle screen for framing selfies or vlogs and connect an external microphone if improved audio quality is required. Transfer files via Wi‑Fi or USB, and use the live-streaming plug-and-play function to broadcast directly from the camera.
Usage recommendations
For best results, stabilise handheld shots with the camera’s image stabilisation enabled, choose Canon Log 3 when grading footage, and use an external microphone with headphone monitoring for critical audio capture. Keep an eye on battery level during extended 4K recording and use active cooling features when available to avoid overheating.
