      Hi, yes the height is totally flexible from the minimum height of 75cm (29.5in) to the maximum of 1.45m (57.1in). I am currently shooting some interviews at the Edinburgh Festival and using it every day. I like the ease of lifting up and down as well as having the legs on the bottom to leave the monopod standing with my 100-500mm while I am shooting wider angles on my 24-70mm. If I was buying again, I would go for the SVM-165 and have the extra 20cm of height, but can still recommend.

Through the viewfinder of a mirrorless camera, it is WYSIWYG ( what you see is what you get)! So, to me, aperture is about turning the dial. I just turn the dial to get the right balance between in focus and bokeh to sit my composition. Why do I need an app for?

    What ever stated in the camera guide is correct - it is not lie. I can argue the you statement on the "acceptably sharp" for the last shoot is not sharp to my needs (as if you pixel peep you will see the actual truth). The camera manual cannot be a photography teaching book - it is technical manual. I guess you did not learn photography with your camera manual? You read many other books that describes this specifics that call "lie". It is not a lie - it is a fact that is not explained in a great details (that it is dependant on the focal length on the lens and the distance of focusing point). Also - that too small aperture creates less sharp images - due to diffraction. This is another lie for camera manufacturers when they design their lenses...

      Read your manual and you'll find who doesn't tell the whole truth. E.g. Canon R5 Manual - A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. Example 2 - Nikon Z50 Manual - Aperture - use to blur backgrounds or bring both foreground and background into focus. If you teach beginners, as I do, they get frustrated that the camera doesn't "do" what the manual tells them it should do.

      @@edinburghphotographyworkshop I have never heard such utter rubbish. Canon and Nikon are not lying at all. For any specific focal length of the lens the effect of aperture is exactly as Canon and Nikon describe it. The manual is for the camera body. What lens is attached, if any, is completely open. The same holds for the distance between camera and motive. Lenses of different focal lengths lead to different DOF situations. So what? The same holds for distance to the motive. In general turning the aperture control on any body, that in turn adjusts the aperture of the attached lens, has the effect described by the manufacturer. It is fully clear that if you attach a 16mm you will not get a narrow DOF. On the other hand, pointing any focal length at all to the Milky Way will lead to a DOF only measurable in parsecs or lightyears. What you have not mentioned is that apart from *aperture of the lens, *focal length of the lens, *distance to the subject, the size of the camera's sensor determines the DOF. It seems to me that YOU might be the beginner struggling to grasp a few optical basics.

      Interesting, I hadn't seen this when the R6 was launched. Looking at the manual, it looks like you are able to access the four other modes (P, A, T and M) by just using two dials with the added benefit of making compensation available through the eye-piece. I can definitely see the benefit of that from a workflow perspective. At the end of the day, though, it is still the equivalent of the M mode if you have the ability to change all four attributes and the way we consider exposure is still relevant.

    "Correct exposure" never was put into a standard in the first place. The ISO institute still does not do it with their "ISO" [1] unit. ASA didn't do it. Din didn't do it. I still remember an Agfa executive complaining about being measured against Kodak's choices by naive independent reviewers. The difference was almost marginal and in the case of "positive" (aka color reversal) film completely understandable. Conceptually, the triangle becomes interesting if we turn it into a triangular pyramid. Where the light level - the ambient - is the pyramid's top. That must be balanced by the choices in the ambient and the photographer's opinion on what exactly is "correct". If we mirror that pyramid with the triangle in the middle, then the other top can represent the light level of our artificial lights (like strobes). And we have said nothing about correctness. [1] "ISO" is a word derived from the classical Greek "isos" that means similar, equal, equivalent. So, when you say I-Ass-Oh, you know you're doing it wrong. And, it's only about "equivalence" in amounts of energy. In Western languages "iso" has an old history, for example in combination-words like "isotherm" or "isobar" - nouns that reference lines in a weather map of equal temperature (iso therm) and equal pressure (iso bar). We would measure "density" in the film days as function of "log i*t" (where "I' = intensity and "t" = exposure time). That "log" was a 10-base so if you read an old book on densitometry and think that a contrast envelope of 4.5 is "not a lot" then you need to be aware that EV relate to a 2-log scale. Note that 10-log 4.5 gets you in the 32000 ballpark and 2-log 15 gets you in a similar ballpark. Treating the triangle like a concept, I would replace "aperture" and "shutter" by the i and the t. And ISO by "sensitivity". What the triangle tries to do is work the "EV table" of exposure equivalents into one graph with sensitivity. The assumption in here is that sensitivity is not impacted by i becoming very small, or t becoming either very small or very large. If you need to fill a bucket of 10 with water that has a pressure of 1, then you can opent the tap a bit and need a long time to fill it, or you can open the tap completely and it takes much shorter. The triangle relates the opening of the tap i to the time t needed to fill the bucket in relation with bucket content 10. Not specifying correct exposure means that ISO does not say what the i*t should be for each sensitivity - bucket content. This makes correct exposure an opinion of the photographer and the photographer's relating the ISO sensitivity number to i*t then is an opinion as well. In the film past, we had worldwide almighty Kodak setting the standard. That's no longer here and if it lives on, it will be in the Sekonic light meter. But measuring light is another can of works like correct exposure. It is good to be aware that this means that measuring light with a Sony camera and then setting a Canon to that exposure manually, is asking for problems for two reasons: (i) You measure through a lens at an aperture value but do not know that lens's T value (how much light it transmits) if you only know the f/number and (ii) you don't know how much the lens is aperture-breathing when set nearer by than infinity. In old-school large format photography we had to take this all into account or waste a sheet of film and its processing - today a single shot at 8"*10" involves between US$10 and US$20 for the film plus the processing. When a Ytoober test-reviews cameras and measures with one and next sets that to the other brand/lens combination, so as to next look at the images and say that one over o under exposes, you now know they are incompetent.

    I'm not buying it either. I have the R5 which is adequate for pretty well all my still image needs and 8K video if I ever need it. Especially since I also have a DJI OSMO Pocket 3 for video and vlogging and a smart camera for astro and tracking wildlife, a Dwarf II(soon to be III). As far as the R5 II is concerned, the differences are very marginal with the R5 in my opinion. The question is, will the differences really mean that you get that greatest ever picture that is pin sharp and award winning ? The chances are you will have the in-camera settings wrong, that you will be in the wrong place at the wrong time, the lighting will be off etc... If you are a professional and need efficiency and guaranteed results then it's probably worth the upgrade, after all you are already successful and rich and have a vast array of bodies and lenses. For the amateur and enthusiastic hobbyist it's a waste of money. Just get an R5, new or used, and decent lenses and shoot more images, you will have great images among those that you take.

      By the way, be sure to check the user guide when available because there are a lot of other features found in other cameras that came after the original R5 that will make there way into the mark 2, and maybe a few more (but unlikely a GPS won’t be added).

    9:45 on the R8 you can turn on the beep and then the electronic shutter makes a sound when set to high speed. And silent mode set to off obviously. I have a bespoke setup for high speed under C2, including beep on. For all other settings beep is off. Isn’t that the same in other R models?

      @@edinburghphotographyworkshop It doesn't really add a beep, it's more of a soft shuttersound when shooting at high speed. You can turn it on or off as the situation requires. You said you wanted some haptic feedback. Normally that implies some sort of feeling, like a vibration for example. I'm not sure it's a good idea to make the shutterbutton vibrate when shooting. Anyway, there is always visual confirmation you're actually shooting by quick blinking of the white cadre around the frame in the EVF and backscreen.

    I only care about doing portrait photography. It would be almost impossible to notice the difference in files image quality between the R5 and R5 Mark II. The only difference I see is the -$1394.25 more that it costs after sales tax compared to the R5 (brand new).

    I have to say NO. Underexposing a photo can be done with a camera with good dynamic range and ISO invariance. For example... I use a Pentax K1, if I under expose at -4 stops I don't have any problems because my sensor is ISO invariant and it has a great dynamic range, I also have a very good chance of shooting handheld most of the time! So underexposure is great if you have a great sensor and know what your camera can do,you must know your limit.

    Some good advice, but it does not apply everywhere. The problem is that you are providing context specific information without providing the context. Here are some contexts in which your advice does not apply: * When you want to give colors a bit of extra saturation in camera (Useful in nature photography) * When you want to protect highlights (for example you have large dark areas in the frame, that trick the camera into overexposing, or you just have a lot of contrast) * Low key photography * High key photography * HDR photography * The Film Noir genre * The Neo Noir genre What you are saying is perfectly fine, in some contexts, but it is not generic advice that fits in any context.

      Hi, theoretically, it should be able to, but it might be the distance between the bottom screw hole, and the ring is different and wouldn't work with the quick-release plate supplied. Unfortunately, I don't have an RP to try it out with. It looks like the hole to the front of the lens mount is 3cm, if that helps.

    • @edinburghphotographyworkshop
      @edinburghphotographyworkshop 28 днів тому

      That is correct, although with a little experience of reading the histogram on the back of the camera and comparing it to the Lightroom histogram, you can get a good indication if the image is being overly clipped. There will always be more data captured than is seen on the back of the camera histogram.
