Canon 6d trigger flash photox5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Natural beam of light coming through trees. ![]() This is when using the focus assist beam on your flash or switching to live view would come in handy. You can nail the focus but it had a little harder time. The worst was in low light situations, which is difficult really for any camera. In backlight, it did ok but we still tried to focus on something that had contrast and then recomposed. In contrasty (new word!) light, it focuses fast and accurately. One of the main reasons why we switched from the Canon 5D Mark iii was because of focus. PLUS: The focus does seem faster then the original 6D. We tested it all out and still just went back to the using the center focus point. So if you only want to move it with in a certain smaller area in the frame instead of the entire frame you can do that. You can keep the focus points within a range in the frame. If we wanted exact control over the focus on the outside of the frame, we would just use the live view touch screen.Ĭanon did make it easy to toggle between 3 focus setting areas. We’re focus-and-recompose shooters, so we always leave our cameras on the center focus point. All we really want it just one that works. Simply put, this is not a deal breaker for us. Now how did we find this to be in camera? It’s true the Canon 6d Mark ii has 45 focus points less than the 5d Mark iv has. MINUS: Now, on the flip side, one of the most frequent complaints we hear is about the amount of focus points because it has less than the latest 5D. So now that we got that off our chest, let’s get into this Canon 6d Mk ii review! Like the expression goes, and for the millionth time, the camera doesn’t make the photographer. We just think all photographers and customers need to be aware of what you’re investing in and see if it truly does justify the cost. Like we said in our back story, the advances in the camera industry have contributed a lot to our success as professional photographers. Now, we’re not saying don’t buy professional equipment. We love to use buzz words like “game changer.” Sometimes we think that the camera companies are the ones winning the game and we’re just playing it. The thinking that whatever gear just came out will make our images that much better or make taking photos that much easier. We feel like camera companies take advantage of the consumer’s eagerness to want the “latest and greatest”. Settings: Canon 6D Mark ii, Canon 35mm, f/2.5, 1/650th, ISO 2000Ĭameras are ridiculously expensive. So needless to say, when we heard the Canon 6d Mark ii was coming, we were pretty excited.Ī bridal portrait exposing for strong highlights and still keeping some detail in the shadows. It’s quick, it’s light, has awesome ISO performance and of course, that’s one heck of a price tag. What we love about the Canon 6D is a lot of the same things you will love about the Canon 5d Mark ii, if you choose to get one. (Critics will now start to mumble things that the Canon 6D doesn’t have compared to the 5D…read on!) We’ve shot close to 100 weddings with them. We felt like it was a professional grade camera for a cost we could justify. As our tax dude said, “That’s a good return on your investment.”Īfter just a short period of time with our new Canon 6D’s, we became super advocates for this camera. We bought 3 Canon 6D’s for the price of one Canon 5d Mark 3. One light set up balanced with the setting sun. Portrait of Chiney Ogwumike shot for ESPN. ![]()
