In this video tutorial, I will teach you all about the key buttons, dials, and menu settings for the EOS R6 mark 2, and then show you how to set it up, several different ways, for bird photography. I will also show you how to set up triple button autofocus, as well as dual back button autofocus (which I don't like anymore). It's a 2.4 hour video! So make sure you use the Table of Contents below if you don't need all the information presented here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments down below :-)
