CANON 1100D PHOTOGRAPHY  

This depends on where you are from and the currency you use. Its a great camera but its 11 years old so dont pay to much.

The viewfinder is an optional way of taking photos.

@@CactusHugger1 its the main way of taking a good photo if u ever try

@@tutan0601 not on a mirrored viewfinder its practical to use the viewfinder if you shooot in all automatic but if you shoot raw amd in all manual you can get better more correct lighting and white balance

​@CactusHugger1 White balance doesn't matter if you shoot RAW. Optical view finder is fine and usually works faster also, especially on older camera's due to phase shift detection vs contrast auto focus. I shoot either manual or in any priority mode with auto ISO using the OVF 90% of the time. No issues. Live-view only has the advantage to do ETTR shots and manual focus peaking, but that last feature is typically only for more expensive models or when running Magic Lantern.

Look at the lens again. Auto focus was turned off

The lens was in manual focus mode.

​​@@CactusHugger1 The square in liveview for Canon only shows up if autofocus is enabled. The autofocus target was simply off target.

If I'm correct it's about £160 not sure what it is in Dollars

I have this camera…and its actually pretty good fir begginers…just buy with the 70-300mm lens

Я из России. У нас она стоит от 70 до 120 $

​@@WINDER_shorts What is the name of the camera, if possible, and how much does it cost?

Which lens u have

@@harrisflims729 18-55mm lens

when using the screen on this camera, autofocus is not very good, you must use the optical viewfinder (autofocus cannot be adjusted)

The lense is what’s capable of auto focus, all the camera does is power and controll it

​@@CactusHugger1 OVF uses phase shift detection Sensor uses contrast detection. Cheaper lower end cameras therefor have 'quick mode' autofocus that then temporarily uses the mirror to focus. (Works in one shot mode only.) More expensive DSLRs have phase shift detection on both modes. So yes, the camera does focus the lens. You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

yes

wdym?
