EOS R SETTINGS - LIFE WITHOUT A JOYSTICK
If you're considering purchasing a Canon EOS R, but have reservations about the absence of a traditional joystick, then this video is for you. The EOS R introduced some new technology to the market, most notably the Multi-Function Touch Bar, which replaced the beloved joystick. In this video, I'll make the argument that the joystick is an outdated technology, and why the Multi-Function Touch Bar is a game-changer.
While it's true that the joystick has been a staple of camera design for years, it's also true that it can be slow and inefficient when it comes to adjusting the focus point. The Multi-Function Touch Bar, on the other hand, allows for pinpoint accuracy when it comes to moving the focus point, and is much faster and more efficient than the traditional joystick.
In fact, once you get used to using the touch screen, you'll find that the joystick is much too slow, particularly when shooting fast-paced events like weddings. You need to be quick to get the shot, and the touch screen definitely helps you get your focus point to where it needs to be a lot faster.
The Multi-Function Touch Bar is located on the back of the Canon EOS R, just to the right of the viewfinder. This touch-sensitive strip allows you to adjust settings such as ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, with just a swipe of your finger. Additionally, it can be programmed to control a variety of different functions, depending on your shooting preferences.
While the loss of the traditional joystick may take some getting used to for longtime Canon users, the Multi-Function Touch Bar is a worthy replacement. With its intuitive touch screen and lightning-fast focus point adjustments, it's a game-changer for photographers and videographers alike.
In conclusion, if you're considering purchasing a Canon EOS R but are hesitant due to the absence of a traditional joystick, don't be. Give the Multi-Function Touch Bar a chance, and you'll quickly discover why it's a game-changer. The days of the joystick may be numbered, but the future of camera technology looks bright with advancements like the Multi-Function Touch Bar.
