Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Here today with the canon EOS M5 and the 24 millimeter
EF-S lens that's a f/2.8. Curious to see how the autofocus is with this camera
and this lens. Because I am adapting. So far it seemed a little slow,
but we'll find out throughout this video.
Gonna do a custom mode really quick.
It's pretty bright out, so I don't have to keep changing the settings too much.
See this little moth here...
Autofocus was really lagging that time.
With these flowers sometimes I go
downward, to the side. Just pick different angles
so it looks a little different between the photos. Later on
you can tell which one you like the best.
Autofocus does feel a little slow here. The camera not pushing the motor fast
enough, or it's just not as confident as the M50...
Right now I'm using f/5.6. I don't see any reason to go
any wider.. larger aperture. It is very bright in this area
I like going for the underside of leaves such as this.
Because you get a nice glow under there. Especially true if you get the blue in
the background.
It would be nice if Canon releases an improved M5.
Something actually a step up would be nicer...
because I could go for a larger viewfinder, like physically larger.
Maybe a taller camera. Of course, things like having the card
slot on the side instead of the bottom would also be great.
But I don't have any expectations of them doing that.
If you're concerned about power lines this is not a spot you want to hang out in...
Sometimes foreground objects can be interesting to a scene.
So if you do have some plants in the foreground but your subject is a little
bit further back. Try it out and see if you like it. those are nice!
These are really nice for the shape of them because you can do a lot with it.
Just get the angles.. go in.. go kind of inside there or just
go around the shape of it.
That looked interesting. A defocused photo...
gets some shape to it, but still you don't really know what it is.
When you're dealing with wind, of course the thing you want to do is
maximize that shutter speed over everything else.
When we're in bright conditions like this it's not an issue.
Someone left a little surprise in the ground.
Let's try to get some texture on this power line.
Of course there's graffiti on it.. of course..
This is nice. Yellow flowers and a big bunch. You could do a lot with that.
In this case I'm just doing f/5.6. I want something to be
in decent focus. When I'm moving around plus
small subjects it just makes it easier.
Now if I want to go this way or the large path.
Problem with this one is that if someone shows up there's not much room.
Let's see what's over this hill. Might be interesting.
I did bring water, but it is in the car. This bag that I brought
isn't great for holding it, so I was thinking.. ehh.. whatever.
Always bring water. I wouldn't say this is an amazing combination because
you're getting some of the negatives of the M5 with some of the negatives of
the EF-S stuff adapted to the EF-M system, but it does work
decently well. Of course, nice super bright conditions. I didn't have any big
issues with focus or anything like that. But I could tell in some situations.. had
quite a bit of lag to it. Of course, this is the official
adapter that I'm using and generally okay but not
as good as you can get with something else. That's it for this video on the
Canon EOS M5 with the 24 millimeter f/2.8
EF-S lens in a photo walk, photo outing. Whatever you want to call it!
Hope you enjoyed the video.
