Caution 1 Canon EOS Rebel T2i 550D Guide 2

Fri, 11 May 2012 17:50:33 GMT

One thing to keep in mind when redefining the behavior of controls including other controls that can be modified within the Custom Functions menus is that any non-standard customization you do will definitely be confusing to others who use your camera, and may even confuse you if you've forgotten that you've changed a control from its default function. 0 Disabled.

Poring Over The Picture Nxx Canon EOS Rebel T2i 550D Pictures

Thu, 10 May 2012 13:56:01 GMT

Visiting a place like Angkor Wat is like a dream come true for a photographer. There is so much to point your camera at that sometimes it can seem a bit overwhelming. On this particular day I was walking around one of the walkways around the outer edge of Angkor Wat when this gentleman just appeared in the walkway that I was photographing. His appearance made the shot. The pillars running down the left side create a tunnel leading towards the man. The longer focal length of the lens compresses...

Full Auto mode Canon EOS Rebel XSi 450D Guide

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:31:09 GMT

In Full Auto mode, the Rebel XSi 450D automatically selects all the exposure and camera settings. This can be a good mode to use for quick snapshots. However, keep in mind that the camera defaults to using the built-in flash in low-light scenes, although you may not want or need to use the flash. Also remember that in all modes, the lens that you choose enhances your creative control. In Full Auto mode, the camera is set to AI Focus AF mode, which means that if the subject begins moving, the...

Focus Modes Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i 500D Companion

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:51:37 GMT

Canon calls the type of focusing we've been doing so far one-shot autofocus. No matter which focus point you're using, you set focus once for your shot and then take the picture. If you're shooting a moving subject, though, especially one that's moving toward you, then you might have to refocus several times. Remember when you focus, you're focusing on an object that's at a specified distance. If that object moves closer or farther, then your focus will no longer be accurate. If it moves side...

Basic Zone shooting modes Canon EOS Rebel XSi 450D Guide

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 19:51:59 GMT

The Basic Zone shooting modes are grouped together on one side of the Mode dial. They are the modes denoted by pictorial icons and by a green rectangle. The icons depict commonly photographed scenes or subjects. For example, the mountain icon denotes Landscape mode and gives exposure settings that provide acceptable sharpness from back to front in the image. To do this, the XSi 450D sets a narrow aperture large f-stop number based on the light to provide an extensive depth of field. Each of the...

Nearing Human vision or surpassing it the interchangeable lens Canon FD Lens Guide

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:28:44 GMT

The human eye is the all-purpose lens it focuses precisely on whatever it chooses. Interchangeable lenses make it possible for the photographer to come close to duplicating even surpassing this capability. That's why Canon provides almost 60 different inter-changeable lenses for just as many different applications. Standard lenses give a natural-looking perspective which closely approximates human vision. These have large apertures, which make photography in dimly lit rooms as well as low-light...

Zoom lens disadvantages Canon EOS Rebel XSi 450D Guide

Sat, 07 Apr 2012 19:46:36 GMT

Although zoom lenses allow you to carry around fewer lenses, they tend to be heavier than their single focal-length counterparts. Mid-priced, fixed-aperture zoom lenses also tend to be slow, meaning that with maximum apertures of only f 4.5 or f 5.6, they call for slower shutter speeds that, in turn, limit your ability to get sharp images when handholding the camera, provided that the lens does not have image stabilization IS , a technology that is detailed later in this chapter. Some zoom...

The latest Canon EX-series Speedlites employ E-TTL II technology. E-TTL stands for Evaluative Through-the-Lens flash exposure control. In simple terms, E-TTL II technology receives information from the camera, including the focal length of the lens, the distance from the subject, the exposure settings including aperture , and the camera's built-in metering system to balance subject exposure with the ambient light. Although E-TTL II works with all lenses, not all Canon lenses communicate...

Using Normal Lenses Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:07:47 GMT

Lenses in the 45-55mm range are considered normal lenses because they render the spatial relationships of objects similar to the way your own eyes do and are perhaps the most-often-overlooked lens in the entire range of lenses. This lens, long the primary or only lens that photography icons of the past used, remains a classic lens that provides outstanding sharpness and contrast. Normal lenses are small and light, most are affordably priced, and they offer fast and super-fast apertures, such as...

Learning about Color Spaces Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:59:07 GMT

The term color space refers to the range of colors that can be reproduced and the system that a device such as a digital camera, monitor, or printer uses to reproduce color. Of the two color space options offered on the 5D Mark II, the Adobe RGB color space is richer because it supports a wider gamut, or range, of colors than the smaller sRGB color space. In digital photography, the more data captured or, in this case, the more colors the camera captures the richer and more robust the file. The...

One of the major advantages of owning a digital camera such as the 5D Mark II is that Canon often posts updates to the firmware the internal instructions for the camera to its Web site. New firmware releases can add improved functionality to existing features and, in some cases, fix reported problems with the camera. Two problems noticed immediately when the 5D Mark II shipped in November 2008 were that under high magnification, small black dots would appear to the right of spectacular point...

Noise reduction techniques Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Guide

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:17:45 GMT

There are many noise reduction choices, and you just have to try them out and see what works best for you. If you use the latest version of DPP 3.4.1 at the time of this writing , the noise reduction is very good. I'm also a fan of Noise Ninja, which you can use in both Photoshop and Aperture. Capture One 4.5 has much improved noise reduction results, to my eye, compared to earlier versions. A new program, Topaz DeNoise, shows great promise of pushing the limit of possible noise reduction.

Using Telephoto Lenses Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

I nearly always choose a telephoto lens when shooting studio portraits but also to capture distant subjects, such as racecars, landscapes, wildlife, and close-ups, and it's simply a must for shooting sports. Telephoto lenses in the 85-100mm range are ideal for shooting portraits, whereas longer lenses 200-800mm allow you to photograph distant birds, wildlife, and most sporting events. When photographing wildlife, these lenses also allow you to maintain a safe working distance from the subject,...

Ensuring Accurate Color with RAW Capture Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

If you're shooting RAW images, the easiest way to ensure accurate color is to photograph a white or gray card in the same light the subject is in and then use the gray card to set color balance when you process the images on the computer. Gray cards are specifically designed to render accurate color by providing a neutral white balance reference point that you can use during image-editing to color-balance batches of images. Once an accurate gray point is established for an image, all other...

Ring Lite Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS 1000D Pictures

Sat, 29 Oct 2011 04:32:21 GMT

Canon's Ring Light, MR-14EX, like the Canon Twin Lite, is built to fit onto the 58 mm front of the 100 mm macro, but you can buy step-down or step-up rings so that the flashes can be mounted on lenses with filter diameters other than 58 mm. Because it can act like a continuous flashtube around the lens, it can produce a beautiful, virtually shadow-free light onto any subject. However, the strobe tube is not a single piece, but rather two semicircular tubes that can be proportioned against each...

Wide Shots Canon FD Lens Guide

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:12:38 GMT

Exaggerate perspective with wide-angle lenses. The foremost feature of the 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm family of wide-angle lenses is their broad field of view. With a 28mm lens, the amount of area included in the image is 2.5x that of a 50mm lens with a 24mm lens, it is 3x. This is decidedly useful for scenery shots or for indoor photography. And since wide-angles also provide an exaggerated sense of depth, they can be used to alter the appearance of foregrounds or, when held at high or low angles,...

The huge physical size of large buildings, often without room to back up, as well as the physical limitations of small interiors with the same problem of not being able to get back far enough, often combine to demand a very wide-angle lens, yet come up with an image without the distortion that is typical of wide-angle lenses. Aim for optical perfection. Architectural images should be as optically perfect as possible. Some of these areas of perfection include the following Straight...

Motion And Depth Of Field Canon EOS Rebel T2i 550D Pictures

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 06:46:20 GMT

There are distinct characteristics that are related to changes in aperture and shutter speed. Shutter speed controls the length of time the light has to strike the sensor consequently, it also controls the blurriness or lack of blurriness of the image. The less time light has to hit the sensor, the less time your subjects have to move around and become blurry. This can let you control things like freezing the motion of a fast-moving subject Figure 2.9 or intentionally blurring subjects to give...

Understanding Canon Lenses Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:13:31 GMT

The 5D Mark II Is compatible with the Canon EF mount lenses but not with the EF-S lenses designed for the cropped sensor cameras from Canon. The 5D Mark II has a full-frame sensor that's equivalent to a 35mm film frame, 24 x 36mm, or simply a 2 3 ratio. There's no focal-length multiplication factor, so wide-angle lenses are truly wide angle, and telephoto lenses are true to their focal length just as they would be on a 35mm film camera. Although this full-frame sensor allows you to use the lens...

To ensure a viewfinder that's as bright as possible, the T1i keeps its aperture open as wide as possible all the time. Even if you or the camera have chosen a very small aperture, the aperture stays open all the way until you actually take the picture. Then the aperture closes down to the specified setting, and the sensor is exposed. In addition to letting as much light into the viewfinder as possible, the fact that the aperture is always wide open means you're possibly seeing less depth of...

Today's external digital light meters are miracles for photographers. All of the good ones are able to read in increments of 1 10 of an f-stop and, when they're properly calibrated to your equipment, will yield exposures that are impressively exact.

This type of lamp generates light through an electro-chemical reaction that emits most of its energy as visible light, rather than heat, which is why the bulbs don't become as hot. The type of light produced varies depending on the phosphor coatings and type of gas in the tube. So, the illumination that fluorescent bulbs produce can vary widely in its characteristics.

Exposing So That Black Looks Black Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i 500D Companion

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:28:14 GMT

Black objects are more likely to trip up the T1i's meter than are white objects. Again, if you point the camera at a black object, it will assume that the object is actually 18 gray and so will concoct exposure settings that will properly render that object as gray. Consequently, black objects can sometimes appear ashen. For instance, in this shot of a black car, the blacks are not as black as they could be, because the meter assumed that the car was actually gray and so chose exposure settings...
