Of the numerous Youtube channels I’ve watched, a surprising number of them are from the UK. They always pronounce “Nikon” as “Nickon”. Here in the states, I’ve always heard “NY-con”. (And Paul Simon can’t be wrong, right?). I’ve always wondered which pronunciation is correct. Today, through the magic of the Al Gore Rhythm, a video came up in my playlist where a Japanese woman was talking about “Brand names Americans mispronounce”. There in the thumbnail was the familiar black and yellow...

I need two monitors for the R6 MarkII, I mainly record cooking videos for youtube but I need a bigger screen than whats on the cameras. Thanks in advance ATx

Playing with a shot I took today of an old barn, in a driving snowstorm. I don't usually use the presets in Neo, because they're usually cheesy, but I will occasionally mouse over them, just to see what they do. Sometimes I see something I didn't notice or it gives me an idea for a direction to go. Somehow Neo got the idea that my completely white sky and snowy ground were clouds....and I give you "Barn Floating On Air".

Canon has announced the RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM, a fast wide-angle full-frame zoom with a slightly more budget friendly price tag of $1,149.00 in the US or £1,249.00 in the UK. The lens is constructed from 16 elements in 13 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses and 4 UD elements. At its long end, it has a minimum focusing distance of 0.2m (7.9"). The lens is weather sealed to provide some protection against dust and moisture. A lead-screw type stepper motor is used for focusing and it also...

Hi All Question: I have the Canon ST-e3-RT, and have purchased a Godox Flash Kit, with 2 x Godox SK400II-V*2, question is can i trigger these flashes with the Canon Trigger. This is my first foray into studio flash, and am struggling to get them to trigger, or is the answer to get the Godox trigger? If it can be done i would appreciate a few pointers to get me up and running Thanks

When lenses fail, do they fail slowly or all at once? I took my used 17-40mm to Europe last year and it worked great on the R5m2. Today I took the lens off the shelf for a spin, and It fails on both the R5m2 and the R7. And it fails with both of Canon's EF-RF adapters (with control ring and without). When connected to the R7, it hesitates for a long moment and then appears to enter Manual Focus mode. But the image on the LCD screen is static - as if it's in permanent photo preview mode -...

The hobby has grown enough that I’m getting jobs on the regular, ie turning into a real baby whisperer. All the Moms are talking and I’m the topic so I figured I better make it legitimate. Introducing: Profiles & Light Photography www.profilesandlight.com I figure it’ll be easy enough for this to cover a vacation and some L glass every year. I’m not posting as self promotion as I think a lot of members are international, but I’m pretty proud. Happy to receive any feedback on the site...

I primarily shoot wildlife, and over the years, I’ve changed my shooting approach multiple times. Initially, I shot in manual mode, but I eventually transitioned to Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority. In both modes, I decided to leave ISO on Auto. This configuration allows me to focus on other aspects of photography, such as composition and white balance. At first, I set the maximum ISO to 1600. Over time, I gradually increased it to 3200 and eventually to 6400. These changes didn’t...

Bonsoir a tous, Je me promene beaucoup dans Paris avec mon RF 6 Mark ii et un objectif EF 27- 70 2.8 avec la bague d adaptation RF, je trouve que c'est tres lourd pour se promenade.

I'm not much of a nostalgia person, but I just started my 2025 folder and it made me wonder what I thought was THE photo from last year. I think it was this one, from last February - which sort of means I was wasting my time the rest of the year. :p I asked myself what was the WORST one, too but then I realized all the truly awful ones went in the bit bucket...so I looked through for the biggest disappointment. There were a bunch that made me ask myself "Why does this exist?" but I...

I want to get one of the RF extender units to use with my RF100-500 lens. Will mainly be used for solar and lunar photography. I doubt I would use it for much else. But with my R6 mkII, which do you think would be best? The 1.4x would give 700mm plus the 1.6 crop would effectively be up to 1,120mm. Or the 2x would give 1,000mm plus the 1.6 crop would give 1,600mm. But losing the 1 vs 2 stops of light, for solar eclipses I don’t think it would matter. For lunar photography, would the 2x...

I have been thinking about getting a Sigma 150-600 C to paired with my R6. Anyone using this combination? I’m worry about AF performance considering that the primary use will be bird photography.

Probably great for serious pro photographers with thousands of images a day https://www.chargerlab.com/first-and-fastest-review-of-zikedrive-usb4-ssd-enclosure/

Received this from Canon USA this morning. Not an issue for me, but may be for some. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/canon-product-advisories/Corrupted-images-captured-with-EOS-R5-Mark-II-and-certain-SanDisk-SD-cards Not much information at the link - it's essentially a note letting you know that certain cards can result in corrupt images, so don't use them (Doc, it hurts when I do this. - Then don't do that!).

I'm just glad this JPG file isn't any bigger. Lightroom was having a FIT on my poor OLD laptop.

I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for good online tutorials that would help me learn more about video. Of course, I’m interested in learning more about the video features of my R5, but also just understanding the different codexes and settings et cetera. So does anybody have any good recommendations for Tutorials to up my game in the video realm?

What have I turned on accidentally for life of me can’t find it. Or maybe it’s always there I always look through eye piece. It doesn’t show then. Two brackets?

Last few days I have had this really strange 'urge'. . . . HELP I have no idea where it came from, but I woke up and searched on-line and now ads for it are popping up everywhere - it's not even a motorsport set up so WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME????? can I just blame it on the flu / fever and hope the urge goes away

Hi—I am trying to understand the odyssey that involves the new Canon EOS R5 II’s autofocus functions. Is it possible for anyone to “translate” this entry (especially the highlighted text). What is meant by “any other setting box other than [AF area] whole area tracking off [key icon]”? and I do not see how you choose this.
