In this video I'm going to help you get set up as quickly as possible so you can get ready to shoot photos or video. The first thing you'll need to do is charge your battery. I got a lens that came with it a lens kit, I got the Leica 1260 so I attached the lens I got the lens hood on. We also need to insert some memory cards. There's dual card slots in this camera which is very nice. If you run out of memory on one card it will start to record on the other you'll need to turn on the camera and flip the display out.

Now, if you're new to this camera and you just want to get started shooting nothing too fancy. What I would do is look at the right wheel, and set it to. Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay is the equivalent of automatic mode. If you're familiar with slrs and take a photo, you simply press down on the shutter and you can select on the lens if it's autofocus or manual. And then just press halfway down the shutter and press it down and take a photo, just like you do with SLR cameras. To record video, you'll see the button with a red dot.

And you can press that to record video, you'll see the red dot flashing, or the second interval incrementing up to let you know that you're recording video. And you'll also see which card slot it's recording too. If you look on the screen, okay, if you Want to check your videos, you can select the Preview button over here. And you can see the other videos I've done you can just slide through that's touchscreen. If you want to see the rest of your clips and photos in tiled form, you can click that. And if you want to get back, you can always just press that.

And that in a nutshell is how you can shoot in auto. The controls are not the most intuitive, but I think you can get used to them to shoot some basic shots. So let's look at something a bit more advanced. Let's go Over to manual mode. So to go to manual mode, we're going to select the wheel to m. Now if we look at the screen over here, we can see that we have a aperture of F 2.8. So we can adjust that by using the wheel over here.

So the top wheel at the front the top right, this little just the aperture. So I have an aperture f 2.8. And if I want to adjust my shutter speed, I use this wheel at the back on the right side to adjust my shutter speed To adjust the ISO, there is a button at the top that says ISO. And to adjust the value, I use the back dial here. So a little bit different than it is for Canon. But that's how you can do it in manual.

And once you have your value set, you can select ISO. And let's just say we want to record something over there, let's just say that monitor so the lens is on autofocus so we can just hit record. So you can see we're doing a recording there. Alright, let's say we're doing manual, so I'm going to switch the lens over to manual setting Now, when I'm filming in manual mode, you'll see that it automatically zooms in so that I can adjust my focus on the display which is very nice. And then once I started recording, it goes back to the regular view. So that's if you're in manual focus mode.

The other mode that there is, is the creative mode. The major difference I found between these two modes is that in manual mode, your photo shutter button will still take photos and the record we'll do videos but in the video Your creative mode, it's going to do video. Even if you press the video button in the creative video mode, even when you press the photo shutter button, it's going to take video. What I really like about this camera in manual and video modes is that if you put your eye to the viewfinder, this sensor here will actually detect that your eyes there so then the display over here will now shift inside which is really good if you want to focus on something doing video, especially if it's bright outside. This really makes a huge difference and this is a really nice feature one of my favorite features about this camera.

Alright, so we We've covered our basics here. I'm assuming you have some knowledge of ISO, shutter and aperture for video. If not, please check one of my other videos to explain those fundamentals. But this is how you can set it up on the GH five
