what's going on my name is Daniel we're going over five settings to step up your
photography game with the EOS R day and we were out here with our wonderful
model Julia hi so before the video even begins go ahead and drop down in the
comment sections what your favorite settings out of the EOS R are to use and
what type of photography you do okay so first off is actually pretty simple
you're going to want to make sure that your back screen is lit accordingly to
where you're at so you're if you're indoors and then bouncing outdoors and
backing back indoors you're gonna want to make sure that it is set accordingly
so that it's not so over blowing your images and you're thinking they're
either perfectly exposed or underexposed when they're actually not okay in the
next tip for your settings is to use your histogram on the not only the back
screen but you can use it inside your I feel finder your EVF so you're able to
press info info info when your faces up to the viewfinder and it will show you a
level and it will show you the grid and it will also show you the histogram so
it's almost impossible to mess up the perfect exposure that you want when
you're looking at a histogram through it and it's actually not too distracting
and you can adjust how big that histogram is as well inside your camera
and the next one to make your portraits so much easier is to actually use face
detects and I detect you really make sure that you get the perfect focus on
your subject because the goal is to focus on the eye and sometimes just
having the focus point right on their face is not enough and you'll miss it
just barely especially when using something as sharp is like 1.8 down to
1.2
so it was pretty simple and it's just to go in and enable highlight alert and
that'll will flash anything that's been overexposed in your image and really
help you know that you've overexposed like the sky or something you need to
drop it down so you can bring back some of the shadows later rather than having
a totally over baked part of your image so another one is the exposure
simulation now your camera should come with it turned on it's not you need to
go turn that on because it's what makes mirrorless cameras so great is that you
can see exactly what the photo is gonna look like before you actually take the
picture and it's reduced so much of my time that's not the real reason I bring
it up is that exposure simulation could be really good but if you're doing it in
low-light situations like this obviously isn't right now but if you have a Flash
attached it can make it very difficult for it to actually focus on your subject
quickly so go ahead when you're in dark situations using a flash or in a studio
usually when using a flash though you're gonna want to turn off the exposure
simulation and it'll work more like a DSLR the nice sides and the perk size is
that if you're using like f-22 or something for some studio shoot and you
really do need those flashes then you're gonna be able to see and focus on with
is there otherwise if you have exposure simulation turned on it's gonna be
nothing but black or just a bike on a on the roof of this place coffee something
the other one of the other things that you can use is the F V I've said it
wrong like four times and that allows you to pretty much use TV AV and auto
all at the exact same time so you can take advantage of some of the wonderful
technology that's gone into nailing exposure and in comparison of the 60
which is what I used to have the autofocus the ISO Auto has gotten so
much better and sometimes it's just so much easier to use that as you run a gun
and try to get like all sorts of different photos like all these little
birds that are over there and different stuff like that so mess around with that
I know it's a new setting and I was a little bit skeptical at first and
really know how to use it but all you have to do is go in there and then you
use what would normally be your aperture control to move left and right and then
the regular toggle to control it and cleared out you just use the little left
button on the little dial that's there there's a whole bunch of other things
that I really didn't cover because they're so very basic like using the
exposure simulation actually using raw photos taking raw photos using the level
inside here and then a whole bunch of other different things that are in
Lightroom rather than settings inside your camera oh if you enjoyed this video
