But the positive point is that you will find “the shot” somewhere in the sequence, and that’s what it’s all about. And at those rates, there is a tendency to shoot many more frames than expected, and that means a lot of extra editing. It is a bit unnerving to depress the shutter and hear no capture-confirming sound in response.
However, when working with flying birds at 20 fps, I saw no evidence of rolling shutter. For those concerned about rolling shutter that may occur with rapid electronic capture rates, I did find it present in macro images of flying insects such as bees, where the rendition of the wings can be distorted. The electronic capture is silent, which can be an important asset when working with wildlife in the field or from a blind. Frame-capture rates are really important to wildlife photographers, and the Canon EOS R5’s capabilities are significant, with 12 fps using the camera’s mechanical shutter and up to 20 fps with its electronic shutter. Handheld Canon EOS R5, RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM lens and RF 1.4x extender (700mm). Sunrise silhouettes a great blue heron as it downs a tiny tadpole. In the EOS R5, this feature is instantaneous, high resolution and flawless. While this is an obvious benefit, in some previous iterations, the display was slow to respond, resulting in missed opportunities to capture ongoing action. An essential element of mirrorless technology, the electronic viewfinder allows us to see the image the camera is going to capture with the settings in place at the time.
Here are the major attributes of the EOS R5 that changed my photographic approach and improved the outcomes in all these environments.Įlectronic Viewfinder. Even in this very unusual year of limited opportunity to work far afield, my location in central Oregon has offered a variety of subjects: documenting the progression of a family of rare Oregon tundra swans from hatching to fledging following the flight of herons, falcons, hawks, hummingbirds and other wild birds capturing newborn fawns and velvet-antlered bucks immersing myself in fields of dahlias, cosmos and wildflowers and generating high-resolution floral studies in my studio. I’ve been working exclusively with the Canon EOS R5 since mid-June.
#Viewfinder photography upgrade#
Here’s why the EOS R5 system is a huge upgrade for me-and for any Canon-based nature and wildlife photographer. In this piece, we’re going to talk about Canon’s latest expression of mirrorless and the achievement of a milestone in the history of photography that is nearly as significant as the transition from film to digital capture. If you’re new to mirrorless photography, you might want to review that earlier article for discussion of how mirrorless differs from DSLR technology. Animal and eye detection functions helped to target the autofocus. The light weight and long reach of the EOS R5 and RF800mm F11 IS STM lens and RF 1.4x extender (1120mm) combination allowed me to approach this female Anna’s hummingbird as she rested on a branch and photograph her, handheld, at the closest focus point of the lens.
