Innholdsfortegnelse for Spring 2022 i PhotoPlus : The Canon Magazine

Here at PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine we aim to please all Canon EOS camera users, whether you’ve got a trusty ‘old’ EOS DSLR, or new EOS R series mirrorless. Every Canon user is welcome! In every issue we provide Canon techniques and pro insight using both Canon EOS R and EOS DSLRs, and Canon EF lenses and RF lenses. In fact, the vast majority of our content every month can be enjoyed and followed whatever Canon camera you shoot with! Inside this issue, I’ve been speaking to several top Canon professional photographers in their field about shooting long-term with EOS mirrorless, and why they love using their EOS R5 and R3 cameras. Along with inspiring imagery from landscapes to wildlife, ball sports to motorsports, the pros reveal their secret settings…

BUBBLE & LOBSTER THE BUBBLE and Lobster Claw Nebula. This super-long exposure and merger consists of two panel mosaics containing a total of 12 hours exposure time looking at hydrogen gas (orange/red) and oxygen (blue). GALAXIES COLLIDE THE WHIRLPOOL Galaxy is two galaxies that have collided in the past. This is a true colour image containing around nine hours of exposure time. ORION NEBULAR THE ORION Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebula you can see from the UK, and is a good choice for all budding astrophotographers. This version is looking at hydrogen and oxygen gas only and contains nine hours of exposure time.…

Some of the world’s best Canon pro sports, wildlife and landscape photographers reveal the true story after using the new EOS mirrorless cameras in a huge variety of testing conditions in the field. There’s nothing like using a camera day in, day out, to find out how it will perform in challenging locations; from bad weather to difficult lighting, super-fast sporty and wildlife subjects, to huge sweeping views. In our big Canon guide this issue, we’ve spoken to top pros who have switched to shooting with Canon’s top-end mirrorless cameras, the EOS R3 and EOS R5, to find out what they love about shooting with these class-leading machines. We’ve also asked the pros to reveal some exclusive and in-depth tips on camera setup – those secret settings they’ve learned from…

CANON EOS R3 & R5 / F1 RACING I am using the new flagship EOS R3 as well as the EOS R5 camera and, although I still have my two EOS-1D X Mark III cameras, I tend to use those as my backup cameras only. It took me only a few days to get used to the new EOS mirrorless system and to find my ideal settings, but once this was done I started to increasingly enjoy the tech advantages of the R System. What I love about it the most is the speed and how precise the focus is. The frame rate is just mind blowing and it helps you not to ever again miss the decisive moment. We photographers all know what it means to miss a great…

CANON EOS R5 & R6 / PET PORTRAITS As a pet photographer and tutor I end up pointing my camera at a wide variety of subjects, many of which don’t stay still for long. I have both my cameras set up for back button focus with the AF-ON button being normal single point focus, and the asterisk button set up for Animal Eye autofocus, this means that I can quickly switch from one focus mode to the other as needed. This, plus the amazing ability to put my focus point anywhere on the screen, has resulted in consistently pin-sharp images. Both cameras perform perfectly whether in the studio and on location. I always have my R cameras set up with different lenses: in the studio my R5 has the RF…

Medienhafen, Düsseldorf. 08:21 pm. 22 June 2011 Lens Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Exposure 1/8 sec, f/8, ISO100 When planning a trip, it’s very easy to fall into a dream of photographic success, but we all know that the result can be far from the truth. There we are imagining precious moments bathing in great light, with full flashcards and big smiles. These are the optimistic thoughts that keep us focused in those early planning stages, or when travelling to our destinations. Yet more often we get dealt a hand very far from this conception. I arrive in Düsseldorf in the grey. This city contains some of most interesting examples of modern architecture in Europe, with Neuer Zollhof, a trio of incredible buildings by one of my favourite American…

In the late ’70s I had a Kodak Instamatic camera and I fell in love with street photography whilst hitchhiking around Europe. I’m self taught and even set up my own darkroom, safe to say there were a lot of hard lessons to be learnt along the way and many rolls of film destroyed. I was more interested in people than the architecture of my street photos back then, I was also more shy and I’d tend to shoot with a long telephoto lens to take candid snaps without being spotted, I think both of these aspects have changed in my style over the years. Between the late ’70s and early ’80s I loved to get out with my camera. I was drawn to the characters in my hometown, Peterborough.…

In part 12 of our series: We explain all you need to know to take sharper shots with your Canon camera and lenses With the evolution of Canon-fit Image Stabilized lenses and the revolution of in-camera image stabilization in the new cutting-edge EOS R bodies, Canon has made it even easier to take sharp images when you’re shooting handheld. But even the high-level of stabilization that’s possible to achieve with the likes of the EOS R6 can’t make up for poor technique when shooting without a tripod. The shutter speed that’s used to take a picture is still important, both technically and creatively. If the shutter speed is too slow to freeze the subject then you’ll still end up with a slightly soft or a completely blurred result. As a…

“Whenever I use a cable release with my Canon EOS 90D the photos are out of focus, it seems like the camera doesn’t autofocus (AF) with the remote?”Jimmy Bradley, Cuxton BRIAN SAYS… The cabled remote releases have a two stage button that replicates the shutter button on the camera. This means that half pressing the remote release should initiate AF. If you have the audible beeps turned on, and use One Shot AF you should hear a beep when focus locks. It’s possible that the subject was not within the area covered by the AF points, so no focus was found. You could also have back button AF configured on your camera, which usually means you have stopped the shutter button half-press from initiating focus. If this is the case,…

Robin ANDREW DODSON, STOURBRIDGE SAYS… I took a shot of this Robin while walking to my local woodland. I used my new Canon EOS R6. I really liked the dead ferns, which provides a lovely warm background for my skittish subject. I hand-held the camera and the shot was taken at ISO6400. I do wish that I had taken an image at a lower ISO and shutter speed value, so that I could have compared the noise levels of the two images; that said I’m still happy with the overall photograph that I’ve captured. The shot was captured in Raw and only required minimal sharpening and light adjustment in Canon’s DPP4. BRIAN SAYS… You have captured a great photo of this robin in its natural environment, and you have a…

THE CONTENDERS Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM £249/£299 Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM £149/$149 Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM £129/$125 Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM £639/$599 Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG HSM | A £1269/$1299 Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | A £1149/$1299 Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | S £1179/$1499 Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C £849/$899 With all the focus on Canon EOS mirrorless recently, it’s easy to lose focus on DSLRs and how great they can be. There’s no denying the brilliance of mirrorless cameras like the EOS R5 and R6, with their in-body stabilization and ‘deep-learning’ artificially intelligent autofocus systems. Even so, Canon’s current and recent DSLRs are typically fabulous in terms of image quality and all-round performance, not to…

£149/$149 This Canon lens for APS-C format DSLRs has a pancake design that enables a super-slim profile, measuring just 23mm in length – just under an inch. It’s lightweight as well, tipping the scales at a mere 125g. It’s only about half the weight of the Canon EF-S 10-18mm here, which we’d class as lightweight. Shoehorned into the small build is an aspherical optical element, Super Spectra coatings and a well-rounded seven-blade diaphragm. As with the Canon 10-18mm and 50mm lenses on test, AF is courtesy of a quick and quiet stepping motor, with an electronically coupled manual focus ring. Due to the physically small design, however, the focus ring is small and fiddly. On the plus side, the aperture rating is wide at f/2.8. The 24mm focal length gives…

£2359/$2399 The high-tech optical path of this lens features no fewer than three moulded aspherical elements and three UD elements, plus Air Sphere Coating. Handling is enhanced by a customizable control ring, there’s super-fast Nano USM autofocus and 5-stop image stabilization, all of which are lacking in Canon’s equivalent EF 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for DSLRs. Ideal for video as well as stills capture, there’s a ‘de-click’ option for the control ring and virtually no focus breathing. Sharpness is superb throughout the entire zoom range of this lens, even when shooting wideopen. It easily beats the Canon’s EF lens in this respect. It’s an epic lens if you can see past the price tag.…

Canon’s own EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM is a great lens, but we like the Sigma even better for overall performance and image quality, and it’s far less expensive. The same goes for Sigma’s 14-24mm f/2.8 DG HSM | A wide-angle and 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | A standard ‘trinity’ zooms, which are also superb. For super-sized telephoto reach on a budget, try the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C. For a 50mm prime that works equally well on full-frame and APS-C format DSLRs, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM ticks all the right boxes and is terrific value for money, while the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM is the most attractive compact telephoto zoom. Specifically for APS-C format DSLRs, the Canon EF-S 24mm…

APPRENTICE NAME: NICK CLAYTON CAMERA: CANON EOS 5D MARK III BASED UNDER the sunny skies of Suffolk, England, Nick is a lover of the great outdoors and predominantly shoots wildlife and nature. He’s always wanted to photograph more landscapes, particularly at night, but has struggled with exposure and focus when the light dips. We’ve paired him up with Canon astro pro, Chris Grimmer, to show him how to take some wonderful starry sky shots at St Benet’s Abbey in Norfolk. CANON PRO NAME: CHRIS GRIMMER CAMERA: CANON EOS 6D, 7D AND 70D IN 2015 Chris was shortlisted for the Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year and was shortlisted twice for the UK Astrophotographer of the Year! It’s safe to say Chris knows a thing or two about capturing great shots…

CANON EOS R5 / LANDSCAPES Humans are always a bit fearful of change once we get set in our ways, and many champion the ‘if it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ mindset. I think that partly runs true with me to some extent; especially after all these years using SLRs. I was used to 35mm film SLRs when I was young and in the last decade I utilized Canon EOS DSLRs for my job as a photographer, so why change? The first Canon mirrorless bodies didn’t really catch my eye, so I happily continued using my EOS-1D X Mark II and 5D Mark IV to get the results I relied on. That was until the R5 was released, which triggered my interest. Now, after 18 months of using an R5…

CANON EOS R3 & R5 / SPORTS I have spent my whole life and career shooting with Canon cameras. We all remember our first Canon; mine was the Canon F1 and she was absolutely the love of my life! From those early days of 35mm SLR, through to the evolution of the EOS system – to the revolution that is Canon’s full-frame mirrorless EOS R camera range. As a Chief Sports Photographer for The Times & The Sunday Times, I demand a great deal from my cameras and using the EOS-1D X Mark III cameras has become so second-nature that I could use them with my eyes closed. When a camera becomes instinctive and ingrained it then allows freedom of expression through a creative style of photography. As a Canon…

THERE ARE a few tricks to getting the sharpest image from a zoom. As with prime lenses, there will be a range of apertures that will give you optimum sharpness, but the complex design of zoom lenses means that there are other factors to think about. As we recommended in Canon School part eight (PhotoPlus issue 186), it’s worth testing your own lenses. Mount the lens on a tripod, pointing at a flat, detailed target (such as a page of a magazine stuck to a wall) and take a series of shots at different zoom settings. You can then review the results on your computer to learn where you’re going to get the sharpest performance. You may discover that the lens is less sharp at each extreme than it is…

AS WE’VE covered in a recent issues, Canon’s RF lenses have a control ring that can be customized in a similar way to other buttons and dials on an EOS R body. On some lenses, the manual focusing ring also doubles up as the control ring. A useful option, when it comes to sharpness, is the ability to change the AF method using a twist of the ring – or by holding the metering button and the twisting the ring (which prevents any accidental changes to the setting). Customizing the ring in this way makes it easy to shift from a wider AF area to a single AF point when you need more precision. By reducing the number of AF methods that are available, you can make it even quicker…

If like many photographers you shoot in Aperture Priority, you’ll know that your camera sets the shutter speed for a correct exposure for your given aperture. In most situations this is easy as the wide range of shutter speeds allow a good exposure almost regardless of the selected aperture. It’s only when you shoot with a fast aperture lens wideopen in bright light that you might run in to the limitation of 1/4000 sec or 1/8000 sec shutter speed, especially if you’re not using Auto ISO. Shooting in Shutter Priority is similar, but the range of adjustment in lens aperture is less than shutter speed, so there’s more chance that your action freezing shutter speed will need the lens aperture to open beyond the maximum. In both situations an often…

01 Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless EOS R5 on steroids, with extra video clout £4299/$3899 www.canon.co.uk THE EOS R5 C is a video-first version of the standard EOS R5. It boasts internal full-frame 8K 12-bit recording up to 60p, has Dual Base ISO, and incorporates an integrated cooling fan – which means it has “no limitations on shooting.” Though similar to the standard EOS R5 mirrorless, it’s specifically a Cinema EOS product, meaning it has been designed as a cinema camera that also enables you to shoot stills. As such, the EOS R5 C operates in two modes. Boot it up in stills mode and it behaves almost identically to the R5, albeit without the same in-body image stabilization, and it possesses a slightly modified version of the R5’s Digic…

£2389/$2399 This lens doesn’t go quite as wide as the Sigma 14-24mm, but it stretches substantially further at the long end of the zoom range. That can be an important consideration if you’re shooting weddings or other events, and don’t have the time to swap lenses, or if you’re trekking into the hills for landscape photography and want to keep the kit you’re carrying to a minimum. Something of a techno-feast, the RF 15-35mm boasts a 5-stop image stabilizer, super-fast Nano USM autofocus, a customizable control ring and Canon’s advanced Air Sphere Coating. Two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) elements are also featured in this lens.…

As with distortion, colour fringing is of a low order with all of the lenses on test. Our test results concentrate on lateral chromatic aberration towards the extreme edges and corners of the image frame, where it’s at it worst. Even so, the figures are all impressive. Again, as with distortion, automatic correction is available for all of these Sigma lenses as well as for the Canons, in-camera and when processing Raw files with Canon Digital Photo Professional.…

STARTING SETTINGS TO BEGIN Chris set Nick’s camera to M on the mode dial (Manual), so he could take control of the three exposure parameters: shutter speed, aperture and ISO. This means these settings would remain the same between shots. The shutter speed was set to 30 secs to give the camera’s sensor enough time to pick up the faint light levels at our location. The aperture on his Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L lens was also opened wide to f/3.5 to suck in lots of light – a wide aperture with a wide lens at 16mm when you’re shooting landscapes captures more depth of field, it’s also less of an issue when your focal point is further away. Finally, the ISO was boosted to 2500 to make the camera sensor…

01 WINNER BUACHAILLE ETIVE MOR, GLENCOE BY JOHN CUMMINGS John’s captured an incredible shot of Glencoe here, which really shows off the best of Scottish landscapes. The crashing waterfalls make for fantastic foreground interest that instantly draw the eye and carry you through the image to the fantastic mountain, and dramatic sky looming in the background. It’s well exposed and nicely composed too. Lens Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Exposure 0.8 secs, f/13, ISO100 02 TRANQUILLITY BY DOMINIC BEAVEN Dominic’s turned this seascape photograph of three beach huts into an exquisitely minimal scene.

CANON EOS R, R3 & R5 / FAMILY PORTRAITS I have been an enthusiastic convert to the Canon mirrorless R system. I bought an EOS R on its launch, which I used with my two EOS-1D X Mark II cameras and then, in 2020, I switched entirely to mirrorless with two EOS R5 cameras. I have also been lucky enough to test the EOS R3 with its staggering AF system, the future for sports photographers. I use the Canon EOS R5, as I love the combination of the mirrorless technology with the stunning 45Mp files. It’s the perfect camera for a portrait photographer, especially one who regularly makes large prints from their work. I love the electronic viewfinder. I shoot entirely in monochrome and having the viewfinder set up in…

CANON EOS R3 & R5 / SPORTS & TRAVEL I’ve been working with the Canon EOS R5 for the last two years. Coming from the 5D Mark IV and then the EOS R, the EOS R5 was a camera that fulfilled all my dreams: a super fast and accurate AF that covers almost 100% of my frame, 20fps, 45Mp, filming 120fps in 4K and filming Raw in 8K, all that in a compact body. The EOS R5 was my workhorse for countless commercial photo shoots and a couple of overseas expeditions. When Canon announced the EOS R3 last year, I had the chance to test it before its official release. Canon EOS R3 – the speed king There are a couple of features that I love in the R3 and…

My love of photography began in my teens, while on trips around Europe with my Dad. We would set off with no particular destination in mind and he would stop when a beautiful sight captured his attention and therefore the focus of his camera. With no distractions, pointing, shooting and experimenting entertained me for weeks. I quickly swapped landscapes for faces, finding nothing more interesting than bringing out the best in a person and finding the most intriguing look in their eye. I love the very unique interaction that takes place between a photographer and a subject. There’s a kind of crash course in how to sink into the company of another person as quickly as possible. Connecting with people has always been one of the drivers of my creativity.…

The Canon EOS R3, EOS R5 and EOS R6 are each equipped with a 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) that physically moves the image sensor inside the camera in order to combat camera shake. Not only does this enable a more stable image with lenses that don’t have a built-in stabilizer, it can also enhance the performance of lenses that do have IS. It even works with EF and EF-S lenses that are attached to the camera via one of the EF-EOS R mount adapters, although the system uses co-ordinated control for a more sophisticated level of stabilization when an RF IS lens is being used. How much difference does the IBIS system make to image sharpness? A substantial amount, depending on the lens. IBIS is more effective at combating…

Focusing on the point that you want to be critically sharp in the frame is, of course, crucial. If there’s a person or animal in the frame, then that detail is likely to be the eyes. Cameras that come with advanced subject detection and Eye AF, such as the EOS R6 and EOS R5, can be trusted to take care of this for you. They are accurate at tracking the subject as it moves, and if they can’t pick out the eyes, they’ll prioritize the head. For total control over where the camera is focusing it pays to select a single AF point and use that to highlight the point on the subject that you want sharp. To do this you can press the AF point selection button to change…

Create vintage mono portraits Use Canon’s free DPP software to go back in time and craft an old-style B&W portrait Vintage style portraits are full of contrast and smooth skin tones, and you can readily process your Raw images with Digital Photo Professional (DPP) to create your own mono magic. An important characteristic of the images at the time was high levels of contrast with deep black tones and bright highlights. Lighting used whatever the movie sets had, typically large diffusion panels with small bright lights shining through them. Our portrait was taken in a large space and was lit with two lights on opposite sides of the model. The main light behind had a large diffusion panel to provide smooth but directional light, and the other from behind on…

WHEN DECIDING on the best cloud storage for photos, there are a few aspects that you need to consider. Are you simply looking to store your holiday snaps in a central location that you’ll always be able to find? Or are you a serious photographer that will need to be able to both store Raw files and quickly share images with clients? Depending on your needs, deciding on the best cloud storage for photos will be different for each person. Some Canon users will be very happy with a free service that provides limited amounts of storage. However, upgrading to a paid cloud storage service will be a better option for many, as this will give you access to not only more storage, but more advanced features as well. We’ll…

To test real-world performance, we use lenses in all sorts of lighting conditions, for indoor and outdoor shooting scenarios. We check for good build quality and handling, smooth and precise operation of all controls, and we test the speed and accuracy of autofocus. We typically test full-frame compatible EF lenses on a range of full-frame and APS-C format bodies, whereas EF-S lenses that are designed specifically for APS-C format bodies are only tested on cameras like the EOS 90D and 7D Mark II. EF-M and RF lenses are tested on respective EOS M and EOS R type mirrorless bodies. In-camera corrections for chromatic aberrations, distortion and peripheral illumination are disabled throughout all testing, to better reveal the true performance of each lens. We also run a full range of lab…

£129/$125 The latest and greatest in a long line of Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lenses for SLRs and DSLRs, the STM edition is by far the best yet. The previous edition had a noisy AF system based on a basic electric motor, and a 5-blade diaphragm. The plastic mounting plate was light, but not exactly robust. The STM edition puts all those wrongs to right. It has an STM (Stepping Motor) AF system that provides speedy yet very quiet operation for stills, along with smooth AF transitions when it comes to movie captures. The focus ring no longer rotates during autofocus, which improves handling, while also giving the bonus of manual override in Single AF mode. Further upgrades include a metal mounting plate, and a more wellrounded aperture based on…

All of the lenses in this group keep distortions down to pretty low levels. As you’d expect, the ultra-wide-angle zooms give the most barrel distortion at their shortest focal lengths. While the Sigma 14-24mm might look poor in close-range lab-tests, real-world performance is an entirely different story and distortion is remarkably minimal. Either way, in-camera correction is available in all current and recent Canon DSLRs, and it works with all of the Sigma lenses on test as well as for all the own-brand Canon lenses.…

£2729/$2799 With a design departure from other 70-200mm f/2.8 zooms, this one has a telescoping inner barrel that makes the lens remarkably short at the 70mm end of the zoom range. It’s also relatively lightweight at just over a kilogram so, all in all, very easy to live with. A downside though is that, unlike the vast majority of 70-200mm zooms on the market, this lens is incompatible with Canon’s tele-converters or ‘extenders’. Back on the upside, the autofocus system is amazingly fast and virtually silent, based on dual Nano USM motors. The five-stop image stabilizer works brilliantly well in all three operating modes and the sharpness is stellar.…
