Best Canon 4000D or Rebel T100 set up video
[0]
Today I'm going to show you how to set
up the new Canon Rebel T100 or
[5]
or EOS 4000D as soon as you get it out
of the box.
[20]
Hello and welcome to Camerawize today
I'm going to show you how to set up your
[24]
Canon rebel T100
or EOS 4000D, as it's also called, right from
[30]
scratch.
But first let me tell you about the
[32]
guide that we've got for this camera.
It's a really useful introduction to the
[37]
camera
and it also tells you about other
[40]
similar cameras which are available
on the market at the moment.
[44]
It's entirely free for you to download
and you can click on the link in the
[48]
description below
and receive it absolutely free and
[52]
straight away.
Now first of all let me show you what
[57]
I've got here.
I've got the camera body, I have a
[61]
battery,
the Canon battery I have a memory card
[65]
and I have the lens. Now, I bought this
lens
[68]
with the camera it's the standard 18 to
55mm
[72]
EF-S kit lens
and I bought that to go with the camera.
[78]
And I'll put it on here and we'll show
you how to do that.
[81]
So first of all though we're going to
put the battery in.
[85]
If we go to the bottom of the camera
then we can see here
[88]
there's a battery door which also is the
door for the
[92]
card and as you can see this is a Canon
battery. It's got the Canon logo on the
[97]
top and a little arrow
helpfully telling you which way to put
[101]
the battery in.
If you put the battery in with the
[104]
Canon logo on the top then it will slide
in very easily
[107]
and click when it's in fully. This
little thing here this little clicker
[112]
here
merely holds it in place and if you pull
[115]
that latch back
then it will pop out again, so that's the
[118]
way you take the battery out.
also in here is where you put
[124]
the memory card.
Now I tend to use Sandisk memory cards
[128]
and most professional photographers I
know
[130]
tend to think very highly of Sandisk.
There are two reasons for that first is
[135]
that they're quite hard wearing cards
and secondly they often give you some
[141]
software
for retrieving files if there's any
[143]
issue with the card.
Finally they will guarantee the card for
[147]
life which is really very useful
however it's only the card so if you've
[152]
got a lots of files or lots of images on
there
[155]
and the card breaks or doesn't function
properly
[159]
and the software won't retrieve them for
you and you have to send it away to
[163]
Sandisk, all you get back is a new card -
you won't get your pictures back so if
[168]
you're going to
use cards like this then you must really
[173]
as a matter of urgency have somewhere to
keep your files your pictures and your
[178]
videos
safely usually an external hard drive or
[182]
at least
a computer somewhere so that they don't
[184]
sit on a single card
and risk being lost. If I have this
[190]
up like this and I push it into the
camera
[194]
then it will go in and again it will
just click slightly
[199]
when it's fitted properly and then we
can close that
[202]
door .Now,
let's put the lens on if you look at the
[208]
front of the camera here
you'll see that there is a white square
[213]
and if you look at the lens here you'll
see that there's a white square.
[217]
In order to put the lens onto the
camera you marry those two up and you
[221]
turn it clockwise.
As you can see also the lens and
[225]
the camera
are both have covers and this cover here
[229]
is to protect the sensor.
The sensor is the most sensitive part of
[233]
the camera
and you really don't want to get dust or
[236]
dirt in there.
So whenever you change lens always keep
[240]
the camera facing downwards
so that dust and dirt can't fall in by
[245]
accident.
So what I'll do now is I'll take this
[249]
off the lens and I'll take this one
off the camera and as I say I'll marry
[255]
up the two
white squares and turn it
[260]
clockwise so that it fits
on properly, and that now
[266]
is fitted on properly just put that like
that
[272]
and so now you're in a position because
you've got the battery,
[275]
the memory card and the lens fitted I'll
just take the lens cap off as well
[280]
to switch the camera on. Now you switch
the camera on as I've mentioned before
[285]
by switching it basically on the mode
dial
[288]
away from the offsetting. But in order to
make any changes
[293]
it's always a good idea if you're
changing the custom menus or any of the
[298]
functions,
to have it on M for manual, because that
[301]
gives you the opportunity to see
everything that's available to you that
[305]
you can change.
So I will switch the camera on by
[308]
switching it to M.
[312]
You access the menus by pressing the
menu button here
[317]
and you navigate round them ,either by
using the cross keys
[321]
here, or the rotate dial.
You confirm a selection by pressing the
[326]
set button in the middle of the cross
keys.
[331]
The first option that comes up when
you switch the camera on
[335]
immediately is the option to change the
time and the date.
[339]
This is also in one of the setup
menus
[342]
and you can go back and change it later
if you wish, but as it's
[346]
an opportunity to do that now then you
can do that.
[349]
You do that by using the cross key
pad which is on the back of the camera
[356]
and you can use the cross key to either
press set which is the middle key which
[362]
then
highlights the option that you've chosen
[364]
and then you can use the
up or down keys or the left to right
[368]
keys in order to move
and navigate around the options.
[373]
In time
you can change the time and the date
[377]
and then below that you can choose to
change it either to UK
[382]
time and date settings or American time
and date settings
[385]
and if you look at it now you can see
that it moves
[389]
as and when you change that option, and
the date and time
[392]
changes accordingly. Then you can set
it to
[396]
date saving time time saving time
etc and then when you're comfortable
[401]
with that you can choose
to press ok and that sets the time
[406]
and the date for you. Now the other
option
[410]
that you may want to look at is also in
setup three
[413]
and that's called language and if you
click on there
[417]
then you can see that there are many
number of languages
[420]
that you can operate this camera in and
again you use the cross keys to move up
[426]
or down
but as we want English we don't have to
[429]
go anywhere
and I can just press set. Now the next
[432]
option I take a look at would be image
size
[435]
and obviously with a camera of this sort
you want very good image size
[440]
and very good image quality because
presumably that's one of the reasons you
[444]
bought the camera.
So if you go to shooting menu one the
[449]
top option there
is image quality and if you select that
[453]
then you have a choice of various image
qualities
[457]
and compression qualities but I would
choose the quarter circle
[460]
and the capital L because that
represents the
[464]
best image quality and the best
compression
[467]
quality and that means that you get the
best possible
[471]
jpeg file that you can produce with this
camera.
[475]
Sometimes when you're working the LCD
screen will automatically switch off.
[481]
This helps you to save battery life but
it can be pretty annoying
[485]
to switch the camera back on press the
display button
[491]
to change this function go to auto power
off which is in setup menu 1.
[499]
As you can see you can extend it for up
to 15 minutes
[502]
or even disable it altogether but I
suggest extending it to one minute
[508]
now so that you don't take pictures
without the memory card in
[512]
there's a setting in shooting menu one
called release
[516]
shutter without card this should be set
to disable. Just above that in the menu
[523]
is the beep now beep is the sound
that is made by the camera when it
[528]
focuses if I can just perhaps use that
now
[532]
there you go you see
[537]
now that can seem to be very useful, but
after about five minutes
[542]
it's really quite annoying and so I
would switch it off.
[546]
As i say for that that is in
shooting menu one and it's just below
[552]
image quality
and I would disable it now.
[556]
The other thing you need to do which is
really important
[560]
is format the card and so if you go
up to setup menu 1
[567]
then the third option down there is
format
[570]
card now the important thing to remember
here
[573]
is if you've just put a new card into
your camera
[577]
you will need to format it just to
ensure that the card and the camera
[581]
are formatted correctly to work together.
But also you might want to format the
[586]
card
perhaps after you've
[589]
downloaded all your pictures
or if there's a read write issue that
[594]
that is affecting the way that the card
is working
[597]
so it's a useful thing to have. But it's
also
[601]
not a very good option to use
casually because when you format the
[606]
card you
lose everything on it even pictures that
[610]
you think you have protected
so formatting the card effectively
[615]
erases
everything on the card so
[619]
don't take that decision lightly. Make
sure that you've backed up your pictures
[624]
somewhere else if you choose that then
you can go in
[628]
and if you are happy to choose
ok you use the cross keys just to move
[634]
from cancel to OK.
Then press set and everything on the
[638]
card will be erased and the card will be
formatted
[642]
but as i say first time round you should
format it.
[646]
Finally I would go to setup
menu 3
[650]
and look at copyright information here
I would enter my name it's a bit clumsy
[656]
but I think it's worth it because every
picture or video
[660]
you shoot will have your name attached
to it as the copyright holder
[664]
and probably more important if the
camera is stolen at any point you'll be
[668]
able to identify your camera
because it will have your name in it
[672]
thieves rarely bother to go
this far into the camera settings
[677]
and that's the basic setup for the Canon
4000d
[680]
or T100. Thank you for watching this
