What’s the best feature of your mirrorless camera? Let us know, and which camera you use!
Probably the position of the knobs and dials; once I got use to their positions it is such a breeze to make changes even multiple without even thinking about finger placements.
I like the weight but I think the best feature might be the color reproduction and the instantaneous way I can change it. I use the Fujifilm X-H2S, X-T5, and X100V.
I use the Canon RP and like the auto focusing features the best.
eye focus.
I wear glasses and reviewing pics in the viewfinder is a big plus, not having to plop my glasses down from my forehead every time to check my work
i might not have money to buy one but watching these videos is so fun
Simon does a great job with his video's.
Too kind!
Same! I want the R6 II, but I’ll have to wait for the time being…
I'm working damn hard to save up for a sony and a pair of lenses... Probably a Sigma 14 1.4 and a 60-600 ... Might take me almost a year but I'm sure it will be worth it. I recommend you to work harder and save up for it. You will like the results!
@@drummersanonymousThe wait is half the battle and makes getting what you want all the more worth it. Keep stacking money and once you have what you want, you'll be happy. Plus, when you're ready to upgrade, you can take what you've invested in and sell it and combine that with the other funds you've saved.
Everyone has to start somewhere. Very few just have the cash to go out and get everything they want. We all have to save and budget and that makes this whole hobby ever more valuable and enjoyable.
I couldn't help but notice you always stayed focused on the Nova Scotia logo on your t-shirt. What a great ambassador you are for your home province.
I usually set a 2s timer for long exposures (even those on tripods) so that I can freely push the shutter button without worrying about the press-release action causing camera shake.
I do this too! I discovered it by accident when self-shooting photos with my wife during my honeymoon.
Wait wait, people don't do this!?
I started in wildlife photography using mirrorless and got some great shots, but ultimately found that I enjoyed being able to observe the subjects through the actual lens more than some of the benefits of mirrorless tech. For me, it's not just about getting the shot, but also about observing and enjoying the feeling of connection with the subject. Thank you for another great video.
I love the fact that you don’t have YT ads in your videos starting up
Me too
There's a lot of debates among photographers but one thing that really can't be argued when it comes to the Digital format the mirrorless options available are the clear winners. Personally I use 4/3 to gain the advantages of weight and reach options but mirrorless full frame I also recognize has the best potential for image quality. I think I get more "winners" that can be easily used online than most "professional" photographers using full frame but they beat me in terms of getting more images that can be more easily framed and sold online. That being said what type of photographer are you trying to be? If it's just a hobby look into 4/3 mirrorless and I promise you won't regret it. I can backpack with the equivalent of a 840mm 5.6 aperture lens paired with my OM-1 that has focus abilities that rival any camera made. Plus incredible macro potential and with the 1.2 prime lens they offer very close to matching landscape and night photography of the very best. Anyways just wanted to drop that free advertising for anyone thinking of making the switch. For travel 4/3 mirrorless is easily my favorite choice. Thanks for the great videos and being such a wonderful instructor Simon!!
Hello,
I enjoyed, thank you.
I am totally amateur and not yet mirrorless.
My Nikon D3500 APSC gives me two things I appreciate and miss with mirrorless:
- optical viewfinder: I prefer aiming a subject, not a screen, but that's just me and I accept the risks and failures linked with a more "thrilling" approach,
- I don't have to care about battery life,(OK, extra batteries are not a big deal).
Thinking about a D7500 as long as they are available.
But I understand the benefits of mirrorless you clearly expose.
Have a nice day.
Frank
3:45 Yeah, I remember having a beginner DSLR were all the focus points were close to the middle. I figured out the thing with focusing at the center and dragging the subject to wherever I need it in the frame to compensate for that. Thought I was the only one who does this stuff, now I see that's a real technique. 😄
The advantages of mirrorless cameras vs the DLSRs were well explained. Tips and techniques were excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always a professional and thoughtful production Simon. I can remember my amazement with my Canon A-1 from the early 1980s, how the mirror flipped at 1/1000th. Such a paradigm shift to mirrorless and I was initially hesitant as I loved my 5d III and EF lenses. However once I moved then I was sold along with the development of the modern sensors, IBIS, eye detect etc. Real game changers as you set out. I have utilised the IBIS for handheld 1-sec waterfall shots and have used 1/10th handheld with the 100-500mm at 500mm for wildlife keeping the ISO lower. Truly these are huge benefits with the mirrorless. Hats off to you for your 3.2 sec dusk shot Simon. I need to try 👍
I love the ability to take longer exposures with mirrorless cameras without a tripod. I was recently taking candid photos on a group tour inside a dark observatory lit only by starlight and dim red flashlights. Tripods would have been a trip hazard in that scenario so were prohibited and I used electronic shutter to not disturb others in close quarters. I was only able to get down to about 1" shutter speed on my Sony A7IV without excessive blur but at 35mm F/1.4 and ISO 12800 I still got decently exposed images that weren't too noisy to recover in Lightroom.
as he said, ibis is not exclusive to mirrorless cameras. Most recent DSLRs have it too. It's a really useful feature though
@@namenloserflo the main mirrorless exclusive feature that enabled me to get the shot was the evf (i had to have the back LCD off) showing me a bright image with a histogram and manual focus highlighting.
@@MSGordon33 The electronic viewfinder definitely makes life much easier on a mirrorless but it always depends on what you like personally.
What makes a dslr for me is that you actually see what's out there and you're not a looking at a "replication" on a screen. It's also never too dark for a good dslr as you can see what your eyes normally see which can be advantageous in some situations
@@MSGordon33 if I want some of the features of a mirrorless camera I just turn on live view. It's not an elegant solution as I like to use the evf almost all the time but it enables me to use focus peaking with vintage lenses and a histogramm. Some dslrs even come with an electronic shutter option in lv. Mine sadly doesn't so I'll have to live with an extremely loud shutter at only 6fps.
Hi Simon. Good explanations. When I was young I could take pictures with my Canon AE and 35 mm with a shutterspeed of 1/8 or even lower. Now at 68 years old I am very happy with the IBIS in the Canon R6M2 and there stabiliteit in the RF 100-500mm and the RF 24-105 mm l-lenses. Greatings Leo
São duas as grandes vantagens das DSLRs:
1- baixo preço do corpo e das lentes;
2- maior duração da bateria.
Então é aproveitar ao máximo as DSLRs antes de ser obrigado a mudar para as mirrorless.
Olá. A diferença na duração da bateria é realmente perceptível?
@@kevinleite6309 sim, a diferença é enorme.
nossa, eu não imaginava... além da câmera cara, ter que comprar lentes compatíveis você precisa gastar com bateria extra... tá difícil comprar equipamento novo...@@user-JM1967
The power of mirrorless is for sure the electronic view finder showing what the sensor is seeing not only through the lens but also with respect to exposure settings. The only reason for not buying a mirrorless camera today is to preserve an investment in lenses which is something you have already said may be a deciding factor for a camera purchase. Also, I can’t help but think that DSLR encourages chimping for exposure which encourages the bad habit of chimping simply to view images to see what you’ve just captured. I don’t know this for sure as my photography path went from film to point and shoot digital cameras and now to mirrorless photography in retirement. Anyway thankfully my eyesight is too poor to get much image-review-value from a back LCD screen as compared to a 19” computer monitor lol. Cheers Simon you have the best photography channel week in and week out. Your content is always educational, thought provoking and very informative.
When I went from twenty years of crop-sensor Canon DSLRs to a crop-sensor Canon R7 mirrorless last summer, I got an EF to R mount adapter with the control ring included on all RF mount lenses, which allows me to set the aperture on the lens. (I originally come from forty years of 35mm film photography.)
That mount adapter preserved my investment in my lenses, which I then replaced individually with RF lenses, selling my DSLR lenses on eBay as I went.
At this point, I have two left - my 10-18mm EF-S (for shots wider than my RF 16mm), and my 18-135mm EF-S with the Power Zoom adapter (for shooting video, which I've done precisely never in the two years I've had the zoom adapter.)
I use all my old Canon L series lenses on my Sony A7R with a single adaptor. The AF suffers a bit if you close it down past f8, but I'm a portrait photographer so that's rarely an issue. (And you can just shoot in manual with focus peaking) Otherwise, the lenses work just as well as they did on my Canon bodies, but now they have the benefit of eyeAF.
Having said that, I did buy the cheapest Sony 85/1.8 lens and it blows every one of my Canon lenses out of the water when it comes to contrast and sharpness.
I have a Nikon D5300 I got from my brother but I often find it too heavy and bulky to lug around with everything else in my backpack, which is making me consider a mirrorless more and more.
As a casual hobby photographer I don't actually think I'll push a camera's capabilities to its limits but just being willing to carry it around everywhere will be a huge plus.
I cut my teeth back in the 90's on a 35mm Canon EOS 650, after many years with a Zorki 4 and a Brownie box camera as a kid! The bulky camera bag led me to compact Powershots, then my phone and recently I decided to get back to cameras. I have a Lumix FZ2500, which I love, but for low light performance. It's amazing in it's capabilities and portability. I have recently purchased the Lumix S5 ii, with Panasonic 20-60mm, Sigma 17-24mm and the awesome, but HEAVY, Sigma 60-600mm! I use that camera when I really want those special shots and can carry my backpack. The IBIS and lens stabilization is amazing. Not got a long exposure time yet.
My biggest 35mm frustration was waiting for the processed print, only to find it was out of focus, or composed badly. I love today's technology with instant feedback and the ability to post-process to your heart's content, also with effects like sketching.
Also, today, you can learn so much quickly from experts like yourself. What took me years, reading books and magazines plus trial and error, can now be learned in hours.
Much appreciate all your superb advice. 👍👍👍❤️
I just recently noticed this channel. You explain everything so good and encourage the use of the gear that you already own. Really like that. Also very admirable how you respond to so many comments :D
Welcome aboard!
As much as I like your channel, this almost sounds like an advert for Mirrorless Cameras!!
They do have some benefits, and why they’re so popular. i think I still give DSLRs their due. .
This is such inspiration to level up and to clean up my channel.
You are so easy to watch. Love the wildlife shots ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mirrorless has many advantages over DSLR (IBIS, EyeAF etc) but there are two advantages that have changed the way I shoot, and have elevated my photography as much as my switch to digital:
1. Smaller flange distance - Allows the use of all my off-brand favorite lenses I have collected over the years as well as the old vintage lenses I could never use on a DSLR.
2. Electronic viewfinder - While zebras, focus peaking and magnification is useful, the ability to see the photo just taken, even in bright sunlight is a definite plus. But the ability to hand the camera to the model and let them scroll through the results gives them further confidence and turns the process into more of a collaboration.
I had to use a DSLR the other day, and couldn't hand it back to its owner quick enough. Horrible thing it was. :)
I've a Canon 7D Mark II as well as another Canon DSLR (dedicated to only macro work), three Canon lenses and a Tokina macro lens, not to forget Canon EF mount Kenko extension tubes I'm not ABOUT spending thousands on a mirrorless camera and lenses, etc.. My needs are met, I do not need nor want anything else, including another "learning curve". Yes, technological progress is being made, but my Ford Ranger stick-shift pickup truck gets me to every desired location (and the stick-shift acts as a theft deterrent these days!).
Always an informative video, thank Simon.
Hi Simon, really useful video as always. I would find useful a video with tips about how to prepare the gear for flights (baggage, what to put in cargo, suggestions, etc)
I get so excited when Simon uploads 🎉
I'd be very grateful if you did a video about the exposure and how to read the histogram:) and more about of the beginner mistakes in general.
And thank you so much for this fantastic, informative channel!
I did make one about the histogram a few months back
Once more good clear sound advice which when applied in the field will boost hit rate, allow for capture of those fleeting moments and improve the overall quality of one’s images. I’m a relatively experienced photographer but still find the advice and tips offered invaluable.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the great videos, I really enjoy them!
Having a 3 second timer on the long exposure also greatly reduces shake. I often have burst enabled so i get multiple pictures and can choose the most steady one.
I really enjoy your films Simon, the feature where you highlight the different manufacturers nomenclature at the bottom of the screen is genius!
Back when I got my Olympus E-M1 (about 10 years ago) there was a lot of competition to do hand held shots at slow shutter speeds. Back then the best we could do was 1 or 2 seconds. When the E-M1ii came out we were routinely shooting at 6 seconds. We all kind of got bored with it and the competitions stopped. It wouldn't surprise me if the OM-1 couldn't pull off close to 10 seconds.
As it turns out the smaller sensor is a big advantage with IBIS, there is a lot less mass and it has more room to float. Having less mass means the coils can react faster to motion.
BTW, Olympus/OMDS added another trick called Live ND that takes this to a whole other level. It uses an old photography trick where you take a burst of images and then in post you align them and average them. The result looks very similar to a long exposure (but not quite) for water it works good, people, not so much. But here's the fun part, the Olympus/OMDS cameras can assemble the image as a RAW in camera in a few seconds. Oh, it also works great for handheld shots.
Another great and helpful tricks.
Thank you very much
Amazing video as always. Your videos are always so detailed and yet easy to understand.
Another very informative Video
I can't wait for good mirrorless to become more affordable even if 2nd hand.
I watch (too) many TH-cam videos, but yours are the only ones I really look forward to every week (or so). Thanks again for another great video. I've been shooting mirrorless for over 10 years and enjoy the advantages. Long exposures also work really well on modern smart phones (although I assume most use digital stabilization).
Excellent tips, Simon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Merci Simon !
Another great video, Simon D'Entremont; Clear and easy to understand !!
I knew that your channel was going to explode one day, easy terms with simple explanation is the key.
Though i consider myself technically advanced when it comes to the inner workings of a camera i still watch and enjoy your videos, you should consider narrating some audio books Simon 😅.
Haha thanks.
Thank you so much as you gave much more than just one bonus tip 😊❤
Love my R5... this was very informative Simon, Thank you !!
For me it’s the (animal) eye detection!! Coming from an old Canon DSLR I have been having so much fun (and much sharper and better photos) with my mirrorless Canon R6 mark 2 and RF 100-500mm lens. Thank you for your great videos with amazingly clear information!!
Very interesting video, thank you!
Thank you Simon for sharing all of the great details on the differences between the DSLR and the Mirrorless cameras! Simply amazing. So much more than I imagined. 😲
Your content is real deal.
Very well explained 😊 thank you for the advice I watched alot of videos on the topic and none explained in such detail, I immediately subscribed!
Really like the technical nerd detail 👍
Great videos! I know it's not as common, but would you considering including Olympus settings as well as the more well known (i.e, Canon, Nikon) camera brands? Thanks!
I switched to mirrorless 8 or 9 years ago when I bought a Fuji XE2, and stuck with it when I bought an XT5. Battery life on the XE2 was poor even when new but the obvious answer is to carry a spare battery. I regularly exhaust the first battery way before ending a day out but have never ran short with the second battery. Even the old viewfinder on the XE2 is very good. In fact the only reason I bought a new body is the old one is now rather tired, the LCD screen is kaput and it has started suffering gremlins but other than that it still meets my needs. And that's an antique in mirrorless camera terms. For all that, and that I am an advocate of mirrorless I have had an urge to get something like a Pentax K3 as I miss the OVF and SLR experience as an option.
I own a Canon t5i and am very satisfied with my results. I prefer buy lenses than another camera. The image quality is much superior than the smartphonea. I don't like to shoot raw and I rarely edit my photos. I am not a professional photographer, but I put a lot o effort to use all the equipment has to offer me. And it doesn't make sense change camera if I didn't learn all fundamentals photography theory yet. Now I am focus on learn more about light. I bought two books recently. After I learn everything this equipment has to offer me, then I might think of changing it.
Always an interesting, helpful and enlightening experience watching you're videos
Glad to hear it!
Your videos are extremely inspiring for me to start taking photos with my gx80. I love the way you motivate us to take more photos.👌
Love your content ❤
Excellent graphic overlays
I just got my R10 and youtube brought me to your videos. Watched a few of them and they all are very educational and straightforward.
Over a thousand views in an hour. Great to see. Always look forward to your videos. Always great content.
Much appreciated!
Done the job nicely.Thanks.
Most welcome
Nice 1 Simon
A great informative video as usual. Thanks! I cant wait to start using mine. It's always great to know more!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Simon❤ What makes this channel better is it does not "bash" other brands. It shows them as equals 😊 XT3 user here, moŕe than a year nnow
Great cam, my neighbour has got one and often shocks my Canon-FF-Heart with his results! 😜
Great tip for "Back focus" before "eye focus". Thanks a lot👌
As usual another great video, thanks for the content!😁😁
Thanks again!
The focus issues mentionned are not present with a D500. I just move the spot autofocus where I want and aim. I do have to pre-focus when I switch from distances that are far appart. This often happens when i shoot ID pictures at flying birds that are very far away. Anyways, your videos are very usefull, i live them!
Thank you for your videos! They’re really engaging.
Glad you like them!
Love the way you present.
Thank you! 😃
Even though I have been an enthusiast for many years now, this is such a great basics reminder.
Another Master Class on photography technique this time on going mirrorless. Congratulations. As an accomplished wildlife and landscape photographer, it would be very interesting if you could summarize specific differences (and maybe gear) in technique when shooting wildlife vs mountain landscapes, woodlands, seashores, etc. And include the big topic: composition!
I love your videos, very informative and easy to watch and listen to 👍
Glad you like them!
I like the way you articulate and the pictures inbetween the videos.
Pl post more pictures
You are one of the best Simon! Your videos are so rich in content. Thank you
Glad you think so!
Simon, this is a great summary of both good technique and the many advantages of mirrorless cameras. I have found the eye detection autofocus, the digital viewfinder view of the actual image prior to capture and the fast frames per second to be the most invaluable features of mirrorless. Your video objectively explains to those who are still using mirrored systems why so many of us have switched. One can take wonderful photos with mirrored systems no doubt. It’s just that mirrorless cameras have made some aspects of making photos so much easier. Well presented. No question why your channel is headed to 200k subscribers soon. You’re still the best out there!
Thanks!
Well done, as always. Lots of great information.
Thanks again!
I recently went back to DSLR after six years with a Sony mirrorless. Admittedly, it was more because I missed using my old Nikon lenses rather than any problems with shooting mirrorless besides the specific Sony Alpha I had, which was already 6 or 7 years old when I bought it, showing its age. I still have the Sony if I want to shoot mirrorless but it's a very early mirrorless and doesn't have some of the features more modern mirrorless cameras have to make them feel closer to DSLRs, especially the viewfinder screen.
All of your videos a very informative Been watching several of them to learn and improve further Looking to upgrade my camera for hybrid indoor and also landscape photography
I enjoy your videos, Simon. Great of you to share your experience with the world. I recently transitioned to mirrorless for much of the reasons you highlight. (But I wish there was a faster way to switch between animal and human auto-eye focus!) Re: stabilizating for long exposures, I've had success using a 1/4" eye-bolt screwed into the bottom of the camera with a long enough string to reach from the camera to the ground so I can step on it. A little bit of tension helps to steady the camera. Also, the snipper technique of slowly exhaling (instead of holding your breath) during the shot helps a lot. I haven't tried long exposures on my mirrorless yet, but I'll let you know how it goes! Cheers!
thank you for your videos. I almost always learn new practical things I use in my picture taking.
Happy to help!
Your background color grading is cool
Thoroughly enjoying your videos, Simon, and learning a lot. I have a good eye for photos and have just bought my first good camera (mirrorless) and you’re helping me to take photos the way I actually want them to.
Fantastic!
Another tip for longer exposures that I remember doing with my other cameras, is using a neck strap to sort of pull it away from your body, but that tends to be better for videos when you need to move with a subject. I still tend to do the trick of finding something to rest my camera on when possible. I got a cool pic of the moon with the Canon 800mm f11 lens, and that thing is so long that I found a chair to rest it on, and used the screen to find what I was looking for. It wasn't a really long exposure as the full moon can be quite bright, but it showed me just how important it is to use the environment to your advantage. I did get some decently long exposures of Canada Day fireworks where you see the trails of smoke in the sky. My favourite one was at 1/15s f4, 24mm, but 3200 ISO because I wanted to see the blue of the sky with the red and white fireworks over it rather than just a black background. That was with the EOS R, which doesn't have the best ISO, but I find Canon's photo editor is pretty good at reducing extra noise, and it's way better than the non-mirrorless cameras I had before.
I’m
Great vid - many thanks for making it! For what it's worth, all the Fuji cameras with which I'm familiar use terms "AF-S" and "AF-C" for single and continuous autofocus respectively. Best!
I bought an entry-level DSLR & it was heavy, clunky, noisy with autofocus the pace of a snail. Bought an entry-level mirrorless and the autofocus is lightning fast. Plus I prefer that it's lighter, quieter & more compact as I like to take spontaneous hand-held pics during walks. It almost seems to easy now, like a robot could operate it.
I need autofocus as I have eyesight issues, even with prescription lenses. Plus, I like taking bird pics with lightweight gear.
Very nice!
Wow, this is really one of the best channels concerning photography. I'm just an amateur and following different vloggers/photographs, but the densitiy and quality of hands down information and helpful "tricks" is amazing. Helped to improve my pictures so many steps on the ladder, when feeling stuck the last years. Thank you!
Welcome aboard!
You have a new sub ❤ love from Scotland 🏴
Happy photography!
Thanks for the sub!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Thank you again and again for sharing your knowledge with us. Each new video is a welcomed part of my day. I have a Nikon Z6 with a 24-70 and 100-400mm lens (used to own mirror Nikon DSLRs) and have so much fun learning more and more how to use all the amazing features. Hopefully by the time we go on safari next July, I’ll be ready with quick decisions and adjustments. I’ve been taking pictures for decades but there is always some wonderful new technique or tip to learn from the pros like you!
Welcome!
Great video, as usual. I learned some things. Is it more difficult for a long hand-held exposure with a crop sensor (APSC) camera because of the crop factor or is it strictly a function of the lens? Thanks again. I enjoy your videos.
Getting a R5 for my birthday at the start of August so this is really well timed.. thank you. Have an R at the moment so really looking forward to the better autofocus etc. Thanks for all the tips...will watch this video a few times while holding my new camera....thanks for the help. You explain it very well.
Happy birthday!
I'm just coming from DSLR Now I understand what happens with close focus. I thought was my camera or lense. Thanks so much for sharing this video
Some great tips, I'm really enjoying Nikon's Z6 at the moment. The silent shutter modes and IBIS really do help me get fantastic shots especially with my existing F mount lenses!
Caught this one early! 😊 Still getting used to my new R5C. Trying to set up a menu for small photo and video gigs. Thank you so much for your work it has helped me more than you could know.
Have fun!
I'm just getting started. I got a used a6000 and your channel alone has already given me so much knowledge in the last couple weeks. Thank you so much.
Happy to help!
It is important to only upgrade if one's current gear is taken to the maximum of its designed capability and yet more is needed. Otherwise it's luxury. I am still with DSLR and perfectly satisfied. Recently got a new manual focus lens. For my purpose it's more than adequate and I have no reason to upgrade, let alone an excuse 😂
You can miss a whole lot of technical improvements that way!
True but I'm good with that. I can't stand the ergonomics of mirrorless designs. All of them.@@jmhatyoutube6283
Pressing the shutter button very softly reminds me of a similar technique in archery, where with a release aid you pull back the string slowly until it releases by itself, like a surprise, to avoid basically "punching" the trigger. Doing a similar thing for photography definitely also works 👍
Nice to see an archer in the comments of a photograpy channel. Archery and long exposure photography defenitely have some things in common as you have to be highly concentrated to minimise shake. I'm more into traditional archery though and I like to make the bows by myself. I'm sadly still an amateur at shooting them
Former archer myself! Where do you think I got it from!
@@simon_dentremont I was thinking the same thing but with firearms cuz I'm American lol. Everything from the arm posture (holding an AR close to the body) to squeezing the trigger so it's a surprise when it goes off, all applicable for shooting.
@@rjbiii yep marksmanship principles apply just as much to a camera as they do a firearm
Thank you and greetings from Germany 🤗👍
Hello there!
Every time I dig out my old 1Dx, it feels prehistoric in use. I realize how nice mirrorless is to see what you get. The 1dx needs me to take a few pics while changing settings to get it right. Mirrorless have spoiled us. I considered upgrading to a 1dxmark 2 but forget that. I am trying to decide if I want a R6II or pay twice the price for the R3. Leaning toward the R6II with a RF 28-70 f2.
On wider angle primes, the Olympus OM-D cameras can get really sharp images at 8 seconds or more. I have an EM1 mk2 and 8 is about the record for me :)
Great Video. I love how your explanations are simplified in your videos. I was curious, do you use Back Button Focus in your Mirrorless cameras? Thank You!
I do! I have a whole video on it.
@@simon_dentremont I will rewatch it. I didn't know if you stepped away from it now because of the new tracking abilities with mirrorless. Thank you!
I don't know if any DSLRs had this, but a couple of mirroless Shutter features you may have missed are faster shutter speeds, like 1/16000 and I think some have 1/32000. And some offer the ability to fine tune to help with flickering lights or screens.
But one of my favorite new features in my Canon R8 is the pre-shooting.
I have the Z9 and I’m excited about the pre-capture feature.
Amazing channel
Thank you so much 😀
That being said, i have had issues with non-native lenses on an adapter for my nikon z6ii.
I have had to actually go in and fine-tune two older lenses for better focus. Tamron specifically, my 35-150 2.8-4, and my 100-400 4.5-6.3
