@@moneyty1137 In addition to using the built in flash, you can use the AD-E1 adapter from Canon. which will allow you to use third party flash systems like Godox.
Excellent video, was thinking of buying one for a cheapish travel camera and now you have pretty much sealed the deal. Really surprised by the quality photos you squeezed out of this little camera. Very enjoyable watch and really informative, ty.
Hey Kevin, I absolutely love your videos! I have a Canon R50 and photography started out as a hobby. I want to make photography into a side hustle. I'm in high school and want to make some extra cash, and possible save some up for college. Is this possible to do with a Canon R50? What set up should I have? What lenses should I use? How much should I charge starting out? Thank you.
The R50 is a solid choice to start out with. It's more than capable to make you money as a side hustle. The autofocus in it is incredible. The lenses you should buy depend entirely on the genres you want to shoot. Since you're commenting on a video where I talk about setting it up for portraits, I'm going to assume you want to shoot portraits. Lenses I would get for the R50. RF50mm f/1.8 RF28mm f/2.8 RF16mm f/1.8 I think those three will get you covered for all your ranges and the lenses will let in a lot of light and give you great subject isolation. As far as what to charge, that's hard to say without knowing your market. But since you're starting from.scratch and are in high school, I would practice with some friends to build your portfolio so you can show prospective clients. After you get that done, I would charge as much as you can get away with. At least charge $100 starting out. You're shooting AND editing. You should get paid for all the time you work, not just the time you're shooting.
How do you set up your Canon R50 for portraits? Tell me about it below!
Thanks enjoyed.
@@22HCA you're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Can you use this camera with a flash when taking portrait photography?
