Setup the Canon EOS R8 for Bird Photography: A Deep Dive into the Buttons, Dials, Menu & AF System.

In this video I will do a deep dive into the Canon EOS R8 for bird photography. Specifically, we are going to go through all the buttons and dials, as well as all pertinent options in the menu system and quick control system. I will also spend a lot of time explaining the amazing, top-of-the-line, EOS iTR AFX autofocus system and show you key modifications to make it and the autofocus areas (aka, AF points, AF boxes, AF areas) perform even better!
