  • 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).

  • Digital Photography Basics for Beginners
    DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS FOR BEGINNERS by Robert Berdan [email protected] www.canadiannaturephotographer.com These notes are free to use by anyone learning or teaching photography. 1. Choosing a camera - there are 2 main types of compact cameras A) Point and Shoot Camera (some have interchangeable lenses most don't) - you view the scene on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, some cameras also offer viewfinders. B) Single Lens Reflex (SLR) - cameras with interchangeable lenses let you see the image through the lens that is attached to the camera. What you see is what you get - this feature is particularly valuable when you want to use different types of lenses. Digital SLR Camera with Interchangeable zoom lens 1 Point and shoot cameras are small, light weight and can be carried in a pocket. These cameras tend to be cheaper then SLR cameras. Many of these cameras offer a built in macro mode allowing extreme close-up pictures. Generally the quality of the images on compact cameras is not as good as that from SLR cameras, but they are capable of taking professional quality images. SLR cameras are bigger and usually more expensive. SLRs can be used with a wide variety of interchangeable lenses such as telephoto lenses and macro lenses. SLR cameras offer excellent image quality, lots of features and accessories (some might argue too many features). SLR cameras also shoot a higher frame rates then compact cameras making them better for action photography. Their disadvantages include: higher cost, larger size and weight. They are called Single Lens Reflex, because you see through the lens attached to the camera, the light is reflected by a mirror through a prism and then the viewfinder.

  • 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.

  • Press Information the Leica APS-C System
    Press information The Leica APS-C System: high quality cameras and lenses that impress with compact size, stylish design, intuitive handling and exceptional picture quality. Wetzlar, 21 November 2017. Leica Camera AG has expanded its APS-C System product portfolio. The Leica TL2 has now been joined by the Leica CL, a further camera with a high- resolution, 24 MP, APS-C format sensor. Also new in the system is the Elmarit-TL 1:2.8/18 ASPH. lens. This wide-angle offers imaging performance and compact dimensions that ideally complement both cameras and is available not only in black, but also in a silver anodised version. Thanks to these new additions, the Leica APS-C System now offers a diversified portfolio of cameras and lenses that combine compact design with exceptional picture quality and enable users to experience a truly special kind of photography. Both camera models, the Leica CL and the Leica TL2, are made in Germany. In technical terms, they are equals, but could hardly be more different with regard to their design and handling concepts: reflecting the traditions of Leica in the form of the iconic Leica CL and, in contrast, the futuristic look of the Leica TL2. The Leica CL is an intuitive tool, with all essential controls located on its top plate. In addition to the high-resolution electronic viewfinder, there are two dials for setting the aperture, shutter speed ISO value, and exposure compensation. Everything is so conveniently located that photographs can be made without taking the camera from the eye. An additional display on the top plate instantly provides information about all relevant settings and exposure parameters.
