....doesn't really work all that well....:rolleyes:

I see a similar question was asked, however am interested in what people shoot RAW or CRAW. I shoot mainly wildlife, birds and birds in flight on an R5 Mkii. Is there any real downside to using CRAW over RAW, understand file size is smaller so doesnt fill up the buffer so quickly when using CRAW. I think my main question is, is there any degradation in quality. I have no doubt some of you will have looked into this quite deeply and can give me a definitive answer. Thanks in Advance.

Hello RF shooters. I bring another consult to you. I've notice that in the AF menu TAB 1, setting 6 of the R8 and R6II is an option that remains available in photo and movie mode, and i wonder, does it apply for both?. I ask because for example; the focus cases only are available in photo mode, and the movie servo AF track sens. Is only available in movie mode. One would think that these options could be used on both modes. Does anyone have knowledge of this?

Hello friends. Can you please help me decide if raw burst mode is worth using? I know that raw burst mode will save the group of photos as a special file that we must open to review the burst, select and extract the ones we like as a JPEG, hief or raw. Also pre-capture is only available here, with the huge downside that while the buffer is clearing, take additional photos is not allowed, no matter if you took 15+1 photos or 15+45 photos. Now, high speed continous offer us 3 burst modes...

...but a neat one, nonetheless.

Hey there! Going on a once-in-a-lifetime photo safari to Botswana. I have an R7 and have RF 100-400 and RF-S 18-150. Also have 16mm and 50mm but don't plan to rake those. I originally planned renting another R7 body so I can have both lenses to hand easily. Lately I think I have been over-thinking things (a life-long habit!) and worrying about lowlight issues that I may encounter. Drives/boats tend to be early morning and late afternoon. So I have been kicking around renting to try and...

As some of you already know I also run a memory card store here in the UK. I'm currently offering the Delkin Devices 512GB POWER 4.0 CFexpress Type B Memory Card for £148 reduced from £189.

That's the score given by The Photographer to Canon R1. Here is the issue I have with this review: 1- The complain about AF failing to detect dark skin people. Contrast Detection and Low-Light Challenges Contrast-detection autofocus (CDAF) works by analyzing the difference in light intensity between adjacent pixels. It continuously adjusts the focus until it finds the point of highest contrast. However, in low-light environments, overall contrast is reduced, making it harder for the...

So I am curious to get some suggestions for a small roadblock I am hitting. To get the quick questions out of the way Using R5mkii shooting in RAW always utilizing Lightroom mostly but also Photoshop when needed Let me quickly explain one of the things I do with my photography is I donate it to my states local motocross series. I used to race for many years and wanted to give back so I provide free photography for all the racers at every race. It is very important to me. That being said...

Well most likely Canon will come out with an improved R7 in the future, perhaps by the end of the year. Canon Rumors mentions it, I found the blog on the topic a bit more enlightening as far as guesses on what it will include. https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/threads/is-a-canon-eos-r7-mark-ii-coming-this-year-cr2.43271/

I'd love to see Canon come out with some fast wide angle L series prime lenses. Something like a 14mm or 16mm, even a 20mm would be nice. I know they make all kinds of L wide zooms but for me there is something old school that feels good with a good prime lens. Or at lease allow a 3rd party like Sigma to make some in the ART series. Anyone else?

@ctitanic posed the question about "opportunistic" shooters and I need a ruling here. As I headed out the door yesterday, I just happened to notice a "treelet" in my side yard, in a sea of snow, with some soft shadows and I thought about going back in the house and grabbing the camera. That's "opportunistic", right? Then I decided to wait until later in the day, when the shadows were longer and more pronounced, which I did...so that's a "planned" shot....? Should I have taken both, just to...

I've been using my "-meh-" shots for editing practice - what I refer to as "polishing turds". The goal is not to "save" them, just to see if I can improve them. That way, if I ever get a good image, I'll know what to do with it! This one - and a series I took the same session - has been giving me fits. As shot, I got a weird bluish cast. If I get rid of that, I end up with nuclear greens and/or neon reds. I tried pulling saturation back a touch of both colors, which sort of works, but...

Got about half done then some help to finish tidy up. Wix reasonably easy that’s why I chose it. https://www.facethewindphotography.net/

This is a questions that I do not know how many times I see popping up. This time the question came in an article posted at The Photographer. According to Google AI: "Art is a creative expression that can be a physical object, experience, or skill. It can be beautiful, thought-provoking, or emotional. Art can be created through a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, music, dance, and photography." Google AI goes deeper by saying that photography is an art because: According...

Didn't see a thread for the RF 85 f/2.0, so here are a few pictures. Some of the Marco shots are focus stacked.

Always used R6 or R6ii for equine but used second hand R5 yesterday sharp, easier cropping but eye tracking just not as good search for many things before locking on. Sometimes doesn't lock on at all. Same settings as R6 even tried R6 and locked on fine not sure what issue is will go through all settings. PS love the camera and output will work it out im sure and yes BBF

Lightroom Classic v14.2 - mainly 'performance improvements', 'bug fixes' and new lens support, though Adaptive Profiles (raw files), Focus Point Selection (when tethering) and Catalogue Back-up management options (via Preferences) are new features. Anthony Morganti goes through the changes on YouTube - click Here. (Camera Raw has also been updated to v17.2). Phil
