2 Reasons to Go Mirrorless

How to Use A DSRL Lens On A Mirrorless Camera Body?

-While there are so many advantages of a mirrorless camera over a DSLR, you only need two reasons to go mirrorless.


Outline:


1) Sofia (00:00)


2) Intro (00:27)


3) Reason 1 (1:33)

-Improving the composition & exposure (which is so obvious)

-Why is it super important in portraiture?

-Why is it essential in street and landscape photography?


4) Reason 2 (2:50)

-Eye AF

-Having the eye af is a gamer changer

-You'll never believe until you try it!


5) Behind the scenes (3:39)

-Music only

-Before and after of a color graded photo (Sofia's hair is so pretty, a real life Rapunzel!)

-The edited photos


6) How to attach a Canon DSLR lens to a EOS R mirrorless camera body? (4:29)

-Use a mount adaptor

-This mount adaptor works on both EF and EF-S lenses


7) Buy a EOS R or EOS M mirrorless camera? (5:12)


In next episode, we are going to make sense of the 5 Canon lens mount: EF, EF-S, RF, RF-S and EF-M.


Other advantages of a mirrorless camera over a DSLR (not in this video):

-Shorter flange focal distance, resulting sharper images on a wide angle lens

-Having the electronic shutter

-Lighter

-High video quality

-More focus points

-Faster focusing as a mirrorless camera captures images electronically.


*By the time this video is released, the R8 and R50 cameras are out in the market already.*



My equipment:


-Camera: Canon R5

-Lens: Canon EF 85mm F1.4 lens

-Video: Sony a7iii + 24-105mm Lens

-Gimbal: DJI RS 3 Mini
