A NEW VIDEO: The best default settings for your Canon DSLR!

For many years now, whenever someone has asked me to help them with their Canon DSLR camera, there are some changes I make immediately, before even giving instruction. Now, finally, I have made a video to help everyone make these changes to your cameras to help you get better photos. Regardless of whether you just got a brand new Canon DSLR or have had it for many years and never bothered to change these settings, this video will help.

Here are the key tips:

* Turn off the "Release shutter without card" feature
* Change focus points to one center focus point
* Turn on Highlight Alerts
* Turn off Auto rotate on the camera (but leave it on for the computer)
* Set your time and date correctly
* Learn to customize the "My Menu" section of the camera

I hope that these tips help you take better control of your camera.
