This is just a short ‘how to’ that will help you set up your 5D Mark II to make your first 5D Mk II footage. We made it easy for you and sort it in a several steps, they’ll help you start making videos with your 5D in no time. One is to shoot still images with the intervalometer. The other is to shoot video at a reduced framerate. If you only need 1080p, this may be the easier way to work. I bought a Radian, which is a super simple way to get timelapse control, plus add some motion to your shots. There is one big issue with the Canon EOS R5. When filming, the camera tends to overheat. If it does, you won’t be able to use it until it cools down. That can take about half an hour. Canon sGt0F.
