+scz67 Thank you

+Tom Hennrey it's a handy feature

i just watched a review by jared polen saying the markiii didn't have that function and that now markIV has a button dedicated just to do that change. Seems pretty easy in the mark iii to set up.

Nn

Ya I’ve never thought of that before, very useful indeed

+foxtowerphotography Thank you

I think in a lot of cases that shooting in manual mode is purely based on an expression of arrogance. When you have time to compose a shot, compose all the settings, to force your camera to produce a result different to what your camera wants to do, then great...go manual. But when your results are going to be no different between manual and any other setting (from semi auto such as TV or AV to full auto) then why complicate it? And especially why complicate it at the risk of not being quick enough to adjust settings correctly to create a photo and miss the photo all together. Get over the arrogance, and understand that modes other than manual have their place. Ever tried to shoot 300 vastly different photos within a sporting event in manual mode? You would end up a chaotic mess, and there is n way you would get all your settings spot on for each photo. Instead, use TV, adjust this ONLY as needed, set ISO to auto and so on. That way, you are going to take care of what should be the highest priority in a sporting photo - shutter speed -(funny that...perhaps that's why it's called shutter priority?) and have your photos turn out crisp in freezing the motion. Yes, you may miss some opportunities of manipulating the creation of a photo by being in this mode - instead of say needing out of focus/in focus the way you want, but you are going to capture more overall opportunities by being in this mode! And if you DO want control of depth of field, then set up an AV setting too, and if needed, switch between your preset AV and TV settings as needed! No arrogance. Easy. And above all WORKS!

thought the same thing

If you're already using back button focus to focus the camera, you need the DOF button to change from one-shot to A1Servo, no?

there you go mate

+Scott Duncan Thank you, glad you found it useful. Im sure theres plenty more that this camera can do :-)

+ozbod54 Yeah that is a great feature!

Cheers

Dahiya Studio cheers

genswarc great point, we do use Highlight Priority, it is a great tool as a quick reference to see what is blown out or not.

f14media I mean, in the menu, turn on Highlight Priority option, and it will care about more the white dress! More detail you save with it! The ISO settings will start from iso200 with it, you gonna see a "+" mark! In the menu: 1st section, 3rd page, under Picture Style! :-)

genswarc Ah I see, great suggestion. I will give it a try, thank you :-)

Is this the highlight tone priority?

Thank you

It will still go higher if you are using Auto mode?

+Avinash Bhasi Thank you

+Peter Csongedi Cheers

Just shoot RAW only mate I think you’re JPEG’s are slowing it down

@@nathan_woodgate ok sir will try it thank you

+Jon - Erik Velasquez No problems, glad its helped you out

Unfortunately we are not allowed to use flash inside the church

frubo Thank you

+zion darl The camera will take 2 different types, CF and SD card. What type of card you need can all depend on what you are shooting. Burst shooting of sports needs a high speed read write to be able to keep up with the image processing. If you are more of a portrait photographer and have a smaller budget, a less speed read write are cheaper. But remember when it comes to downloading the images, the higher the speed card the better.

thank for your reply. just bougth the camera last two days. i want to use it for video shooting. can you recomend any one for me that will suit video shooting

zion darl f*** you can I

+scz67 Yes that is true, when using our flashes we normally use either full manual mode or AV mode but we set the ISO manually. The flash is always on ETTL unless we want more control and then we switch it over to manual.

great instruction, thanx a lot, just got my new 5D, your video gave me a place to start :-) however, was thrown away when using on camera flash (600ex-rt) would love to see your approach on on camera flash. i usually volunteer to shoot for experience at our local church mass weddings ceremonies, where couples who are on a tight budget would come & have a mass wedding (about 15-20 couples all at once) & would all have a common hight tea there after (sponsored by the church) at the church premises, these have multiple rooms & the lighting conditions changes from one room to another, anyway would appreciate it if you could shine some light on this matter. thank you

Yes in the "Record func+card/folder" (Yellow section) menu select the record function "Record Separately". You can then chose what records to each card.

+Colin Johnson Hi unfortunately we no longer have these cameras as we have changed over to Fuji

+stanley mccaskill thank you

Thank you Ian

Nice explain

+Yesenia Gonzale Hi, that was just really for in the ceremony. We have now moved onto Fuji cameras and set the ISO manually. If the light will remain constant in the ceremony it may be easier to set the ISO manually but if the light is changing constantly then auto ISO is very useful

The Photography Team : I am using a canon 70d so the best setting will be manuallt for the ceremony if the light is constant and when I go outside to shoot the couple it will be better to set it auto since the light changes correct?..also one more question when you are focusing with AI servo where do you place your focal point when the couple are walking down the aisle?

+Yesenia Gonzale yes that's correct, I normally use AV mode outside. If you are able to it's best to place a focus point on a face. However I also use zone tracking and let the camera automatically focus on the moving subject

I have both 5d mark 3 and 80d. If I got rid of the 5d mark 3 would I be missing something? I normally shoot video but on occasion I'm asked to shoot wedding pics.

+DSLR Cinema Movies Unforunataly we have never shot with the 80D, however I think you would miss the full frame sensor

Huey P Productions sorry but I haven’t used Canon now for a few years so couldn’t say, I normally used to use single point and focus/recompose

Hi unfortunately we don't shoot canon anymore so I am unable to check. I never used to create lots of folders so don't have any experience of this, sorry buddy

+Kylie Hughes Nice feature

Sidhartha Mishra If the subject is moving then use a fast shutter speed, if that means cranking up the ISO then so be it 👍🏼

thanks sir..I know about sutter.. but many times focus is not sharper... if subject come forward so many time subject out of focus

thats what the AI Servo option is for to have a continuous focus without having to continuously press the AF Button, if its still out of focus then maybe your glass is dirty? lol

Glad it helped

srinu siddu You need to edit RAW files with a program like Lightroom and then export as a JPEG

sir i know but the picture quality is like an artistic blurred content sir what should i do sir

srinu siddu sorry no idea??

It shouldn’t have a colour cast. Unfortunately I haven’t used Canon now for some time so can’t compare it.

I half figured it out, I was on auto mode, which mode / dial do you use?

+WorkJoker I mainly use AV mode

You have your camera set to RAW. You need to change your image quality settings on the camera to JPEG

+The Photography Team :) lol ha ha ha..Well said!!! Also there are tutorials online that will show newbies how to use a DSLR :)

I think if there is not enough light then the camera has to reduce the shutter speed. I suspect this is only when your ISO is maxed out

Yes, outside I'm normally on AV mode and manually setting the ISO to the conditions.

I use all the cross top points and use which ever one suits each scene
