#CANON EOS R PROFESSIONAL SERIES#

: Canon EOS R5 C training series is released. Focus will be locked on your subject and metering will take place from the center of the scene. When the center of the scene is where you want it to be, then release BBF and take the shot. While still holding the BBF button, I would recompose the shot to place my metering point in the center of the screen.Īs you recompose, AF should stay locked on your subject. I would lock focus on the subject first using your BBF button. How would I take the shot? I would use a Zone AF and Servo AF. When there is not active and locked AF point then metering is performed from the center of the scene, almost equivalent to Center-Weighted Average. It is crucial that both conditions be met. When you have an active and locked AF point, then Evaluative Metering will bias the exposure settings to properly exposure the subject at the active and locked AF point. I must use it 100% of the time when shooting handheld. Evaluative Metering may be the least understood of all the metering modes. The next thing to look at is how metering works. Servo AF locks exposure when the shutter is fired, which can be used to your advantage. It seems to me this the central issue that you are attempting to work around. One Shot AF locks exposure when focus is locked. I would use Servo AF with Evaluative Metering, and leave both metering and focusing on the Shutter. It seems and sounds like you are using One Shot AF and Evaluative Metering. I would do it the other way around.īut first, I would need to know what AF Mode and Metering Mode you are trying use in order to advise you. You are metering in one area of the scene and then locking focus elsewhere in the scene. I think you are over thinking and over complicating what should be a uncomplicated technique.

Maybe I am misunderstand the what end result you are seeking. Aim your camera at your dark area and take your picture. It doesn't refocus until you release it and hit it again.Ĥ. If you are in One-Shot, holding down the AF-ON button won't matter. At just 660 grams, the EOS R’s body is lightweight yet provides a. Compact camera size and lens compatibility. After the rain, ordinary sidewalks turn into giant mirrors that reflect ambient light for more artistic shots. If you are in Servo mode, holding down the AF-ON button means that the camera will be continually focusing, which is not what you want, so the Depth of Field Preview button might work. Colours become richer and more saturated when it’s raining. The other one is the Depth of Field Preview button on the bottom of the camera. If you want to 'lock and hold', I know of two buttons that will do that. Exposure lock will only lock the exposure for about six seconds. Using a half-press of the shutter, aim your camera at a bright point in your frame, half-press your shutter to set the exposure and lock it with the * button.ģ. Assign your exposure lock to the * (asterisk) button.Ģ. As Trevor suggested, separate your focus from your shutter button and use back button focus. One approach might be to set your focus point first. I have a T8i, so I can't swear that your camera works the same way, but.
