My first digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera was Canon’s EOS 10D, which featured a 6.3-megapixel chip. For my next camera, I moved up to Canon’s EOS 20Da, which the company opti- mized for astronomical photography. This 8.2-megapixel camera integrated a special filter that increased transmission of the Hydrogen-alpha line, a wavelength many nebulae emit. The result was better images of red nebulae.

  • Understanding the EOS RP
    Understanding the EOS RP Especially written for Canon EOS users A fast track guide to understanding how to use the EOS RP’s key controls and functions Contents include: • Camera layout • Exposure modes • AF controls • Key camera overrides • Menu options in-depth • Customisations • Custom functions Written by Nina Bailey About this book PREVIEW EDITION The EOS RP is the second model in the new R system of full frame mirrorless cameras. Going to full frame is a aspiration for many photographers but they have been put off in the past by the size and weight of the system. With new mirrorless technology reducing both size and weight of the new models, full frame digital photography is now within everyone’s reach. I have historically produced two separate books, when covering a camera of this complexity. However, what I am finding is there is a significant amount of repetition needed to ensure that someone only getting one of the books has all the relevant information they need to operate the camera. So with smart devices now having more storage and download speeds getting faster all the time I have combined what was two volumes into a single book, which does allow me to provide better navigation around the book using hyper links. It is designed to present the information in a much more accessible way than is found in the manual and is liberally illustrated throughout with screen images and also images to show what the features actually do to the images that you take. There is also a companion Pocketbook available to provide a small A6 size guide that is easy to take with you when shooting, to help you remember how to set the key features on the camera.

  • Using a Canon EOS M50 As a Dedicated, Afocal, Microscope Camera Steve Neeley (USA)
    Using a Canon EOS M50 as a Dedicated, Afocal, Microscope Camera Steve Neeley (USA) From Wikipedia: “Afocal photography, also called afocal imaging or afocal projection, is a method of photography where the camera with its lens attached is mounted over the eyepiece of another image forming system such as an optical telescope or optical microscope, with the camera lens taking the place of the human eye.” Except for a very few hours experimenting with a borrowed Canon 40D back in 2011, I had no experience with coupling and using a camera with my Leitz Ortholux I microscope. But I was able to get surprisingly good coverage of its sensor – which was encouraging. Above: Phase Contrast Image of a diatom strew slide from experiments with a Canon 40D in 2011. Recently, in trying to rekindle and expand my hobby, I bought my own camera -- a Canon M50 -- to use as a dedicated microscope camera. This article shares my experience in coupling and using the M50 on the Ortholux. Disclaimer. As a colleague often says, “I’m not buying or selling here” – meaning, in this case, that I did earnest, but certainly spotty, research before buying the M50, and it was only after I had it in hand and could work with it on the scope, that I finally understood some things, as in ‘Oh! NOW I understand.” I bought what I could afford, not what was the absolute best solution for my priorities. Not ‘selling’ you on the M50 – you might find something better. 1 Priorities 1. To share my hobby in ‘live view’, on screen, with family so they do not need to use the eyepieces (this is especially hard for children).

  • Canon EOS R 5 a Field Review
    Canon EOS R 5 A field review All text and photos © SimonDP/Actionimage 2020, unless otherwise noted (web: www.actionimage.co.za email: [email protected]) INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Canon EOS R5 continues the newer direction that Canon is taking with their full-frame mirrorless range of cameras using their RF lens mount system. Along with the previously released R and RP, Canon now offers the R5 at the upper end of the scale in terms of features, performance and pricing. This camera also came with the lens mount adapter, of which three different models are offered, to make the RF mount compatible with the current huge range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses. The standard EF/EF-S to RF adapter was provided boxed with the camera. Standard disclaimer: I do my reviews in the way a camera is likely to be used; out in the field, real life conditions with real life subjects. There are enough intelligent guys out there for the lab tests and special sensor resolution tests etc. What I present is how the camera fared under certain conditions using typical lenses. If a parameter does not work for me, it does not mean it won’t work for someone else. We all have our own requirements and preferences when choosing camera equipment. When I reviewed the Canon EOS R some time ago, it initially left me a little cold, and warming up to it after some time using it. But I never got really intrigued by the EOS R to the point where I wanted to go out and buy one.

  • EOS 5D MARK IV CANON LOG V1.Pdf
    SUPERCHARGE YOUR MOVIEMAKING The new Canon Log^ feature enables the EOS 5D Mark IV camera to record 4K and HD video files with expansive dynamic range and wide exposure latitude, making it simple to coordinate colour settings with other Canon cameras in multi-camera set-ups. It’s ideally suited for extensive post-production processing. ^ The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera does not come standard with Canon Log. The Canon Log feature can only be used with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Body with Canon Log option or using an upgraded version of the current EOS 5D Mark IV camera. IMAGE CHARACTERISTICS Canon Log helps record images for post- processing that feature a wide dynamic range. Captured 4K and Full HD video files feature suppressed contrast and sharpness and increased dynamic range of up to 800% or 12 stops (at ISO 400 or above). This means more detail in the highlights, enhanced details in the shadows, and because of its balanced image quality – the flexibility to work with colour saturation and tone to create a specific look, or to match other recorded media. A View Assist setting provides a preview on the LCD monitor of how an image may look with post-processing characteristics. LOOK UP TABLE The Canon Log feature includes two Look Up Tables (LUTs) that correct the recorded image’s gamma and colour space when viewed on an external monitor. With Canon Log 10 to Wide DR LUT, the video file is converted to Wide Dynamic Range gamma, with well-preserved highlights and shadow detail.
