In this HD video I have done a super deep and comprehensive dive into the Canon EOS R7 with regard to bird photography. It's almost a two hour video! I am putting together a good table of contents down below, so feel free to jump around as needed. I have also explain things very slowly, so you don't have to be an expert photographer to learn from this video – beginners are welcome. Enjoy and leave questions or comments down below, and I'll make sure they get answered :-)

Expensive birthday present..😂🎁
There is a great deal of tutorials on YouTube about the R7 but yours has been a life saver, your breakdown of the camera is easy to follow & very accessible..📷👍.
I take my camera everywhere, even on the Ambulance as I’m a Paramedic based in Yorkshire, UK,🇬🇧.
You never know when there’s something interesting to snap..& I mean the wildlife not my patients..😮📷.
Thanks for your help..📷👍
