EOS R7 How to take multiple pics

et2mom — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 13:05:16 GMT

Hello all I am new to this web sight, I am also new to the Canon EOS R7 coming from using a Rebel T5 for a long time. I am dyslexic so reading the manual is hard for me. So I thought I would reach out with a few questions but not all at once, LOL!! How do I set my R7 so that I have multiple pics with shutter speed??

Hi Et2Mom:

Welcome to the forum! 😊

My concern is that we will write extensively and because you are dyslexic, you will find that challenging. So, I am going to suggest initially watching the following tutorial video, that may make things easier. I suggest that you turn the playback speed to 75%, as the presenter talks very quickly.

Then you can come back with more questions!

Here is the link to the video

" How do I set my R7 so that I have multiple pics with shutter speed??"

I'm not following. Can you explain exactly what you mean by that question?

Here are a couple of links to 7D Mark II instruction videos. The first one is from Canon. It’s short and runs for less than 7 minutes. The second video is not so short.

Try doing a search on YouTube for “EOS 7D Mark II Instructions”. These two videos probably represent the two extremes when it comes to total typical runtime for these types of instructional video tutorials.

et2mom,

I'll pass along a tip that someone gave to me that made my life a lot easier.

Download the pdf version of your manual, and using the search function in your pdf reader (like Acrobat), search for whatever you are looking for. I'm assuming you are trying to figure out how to take a burst of shots.

This will probably be under something called Drive mode.

Bill, are you confusing the 7DII with the R7, which is what the OP actually has?

Greetings et2mom. Are you referring to doing continuous shooting or how to set the shutter speed? There are a few ways to do continuous shooting with the EOS R7. You can set the camera to the Kids mode or Sports mode, and by default, these modes use high-speed continuous shooting while you just hold down the shutter button. In other Creative modes, Fv, P, Tv, AV, or M, press the M-Fn button on top of the camera, and then turn the dial on the back of the camera to select the Drive mode item. Then turn the little dial on top of the camera to change between the single and continuous shooting modes.

Steve -

Thanks for the tip but with my dyslexia it would not help me very much. Even searching for the subject of what I need to know. It is the reading that I have a hard time with. But thank you for the tip
