Hello and welcome to GMax Studios studios. My name is Gorky M. And today we are going to talk about
two great features of the mirrorless camera system.
A short while back we had done a video
comparing dslr's with mirrorless. if you haven't seen that video,
the link is given in the description below.
And in that video we had compared a lot of stuff
but today in this video, I wanted to move away
from all the discussion about battery life, body weight and size etc. and focus only on
the two great features, which in my opinion, make the mirrorless system great.
WHY
MIRROLESS CAMERAS
ARE
AWESOME
ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER
Perhaps the greatest feature of the mirrorless camera system is the EVF,
or the electronic viewfinder.
One of the biggest problems that beginners in photography have,
is that they can't seem to make out whether their photograph
is going to come out underexposed or overexposed.
The EVF takes all the guesswork out of the equation.
Because you can see exactly what your photograph
is going to look like, even before you press the shutter.
In fact, you can also see all the effects that are built into the camera and while these
effects are applied only to the JPEGs, they serve as great reference points.
EVF AND CAMERA LCD ARE NOT THE SAME
while some might debate that the screen at the back of a DSLR essentially performs
the same function as the EVF, but in my opinion it is not the same
for two reasons.
First, if you shoot using the screen at the back of the DSLR
the shooting position makes it very unstable while shooting video or even while taking photographs.
In fact, it is quite intimidating for the subject as well.
If you shoot using the EVF, it gets you back to the classic stance
of holding the camera to your eye, thereby giving you
three contact points, and increasing
stability of your pictures and your video.
EVF EVEN WORKS IN DAYLIGHT
Secondly: the external LCD is practically useless if you're shooting in daylight
because you can hardly see what is going on.
With the EVF, you can put your eye
and see exactly what is gonna happen.
Because - you can not only use it to
compose and take your shots,
but also, to play back what you have shot.
It is like having your own private theater.
FLANGE DISTANCE MATTERS
The second advantage is that
due to the flange distance in mirrorless cameras being
shorter, it is possible to adapt
almost any kind of lens to be used
on your mirrorless cameras.
When I first started using mirrorless cameras,
I was not quite sure of the system.
And in fact, I did not want to invest too much
in lenses to begin with.
But it gave me great comfort to understand that I could
use my existing lenses via an adapter.
While this situation is not ideal
but it really opens up a world of possibilities.
These possibilities
also gave a new lease of life
to my old Leica lenses,
that I love so dearly.
HIGHER IMAGING CAPABILTIES
And of course, if you want the best in image quality,
it is also possible to adapt cinema lenses to your mirrorless cameras.
Something that was quite
unimaginable, till a few years back.
We are in the process of making a video which will talk in detail about
adapting different lenses to your Mirrorless cameras.
As soon as that is done, I will put
a link in the description as well.
In the meantime, do subscribe to our Channel GMax Studios,
and I will see you in the next video.
Until then, buh-bye.
