Thank you! Have had issues with my R5 just shutting off. I send to just grab my old 5Diii. Giving it a whirl tomorrow with some senior portraits. Good tips 😊
You have to use a wide aperture (lower f stop number) and also a mid to tele lens. For example an f stop of 1.4 or 1.8 will produce blurrier background than f/8 or 11.
Wait until you use the RF 70-200 2.8 It's the only RF lens I have since there's nothing wrong with the EF lenses and adaptor. But the new RF 70-200 is smaller and lighter and just beautiful. I hear the f4 is also fantastic and even smaller. But I like the 2.8.
@@PeteCocoPhoto I filtered the last 36 months in LRCC by lens used and by far it was the lens I use the most in my work. So that’s how I picked my first RF lens. I’ve already picked up 8 portraits used on a business magazine cover with that lens.
As the back-up photographer for a friend's wedding (and coming from a landscape only photography background), I appreciate the info and did learn a few things about my camera I didn't know before. I'm sure my photos will come out much better thanks to your tips. I'd recommend a few more tips (R5 specific) - make sure your autofocus priority is set to 'people' instead of 'animals', and bring extra batteries as the R5 is notorious for draining batteries quickly. Thanks for the tips!
I totally agree with your judgment about Servo. I was terrified of this setting with the DSLR bodies that came before the newer EOS R bodies. Now, I use it constantly. Great advice on all the topics! Glad I found you from my Apple News feed and FStoppers
Thanks for sharing. I've set up my camera and I'm ready to shoot..I'm going to be doing "this and that "😂. Remember the camera where the photographer looked down on the top of the camera?? I love that style. 🫶
