The Canon EOS 5D is a 12.8-megapixel digital single lens reflex camera body that was announced on 22 August 2005. It is priced slightly higher than the EOS-20D but lower than the EOS-1D Mark II/EOS-1Ds Mark II. It is compatible with EF-M lens mounts. Among its most notable features are Dual Pixel CMOS AF and High Density Reticular AF systems.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF system
Dual PixelCMOS AF is a new technology in the Canon 5D. While phase-detection remains a popular technique, it's still a very popular one for photographers. This technology makes it possible to process millions of pieces and combine them into a seamless focus action. Phase-detection AF is great for use through the eye level viewfinder, but Dual Pixel CMOS AF takes it to a whole new level. This AF system does three things in post:
High Density Reticular Air AF system
The 61-point high density reticular camera AF system uses dual line sensors for all points. This allows for exceptional focusing performance in all shooting situations. Whether the subject is in focus or out of focus, the camera will detect the source of light and adjust focus accordingly. This technology is also applicable to Single-Point AF and Single-Point Spot AF.
24-105 mm lens
Canon 5D Mark IV is an excellent high-end camera, with a 24-105mm lens that can be used in low light conditions. The powerful 4K video and still photography camera comes with a brand new 30.4 MP full-frame sensor CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6+ image processing. The combination of these three aspects yields photos with excellent balance between fine detail and resolution, sensitivity, and low-light performance.
Rolling shutter
Although the Canon 5D rolling shutter has not been officially announced, it is rumored to be a popular technology. It's the same technology that makes Canon F55 cameras great and would be a great upgrade for the 5D. The rolling shutter is a great feature that will make your camera more enjoyable and less expensive than the previous models. Canon has been known for its inability to innovate in recent times, but this new technology might be worth considering.
4K video recording
The new Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR has an impressive list of new features, including 4K video recording. The 30.4-megapixel dualpixel sensor in the camera increases the resolution of stills from 6720 x 4480 pixels to 30.4 megapixels. Dual-pixel cameras are ideal for videography, as they can simultaneously capture two images with slightly different focus points. In post-processing, the two images can be combined.

Why use Light Room to enhance your pictures?
The best way to ensure you have the perfect photos for your project is to start early. It's better if you take as many shots possible before you decide on the ones that give the most value.
Lightroom makes this possible by showing you how different settings affect each photograph. These settings can be changed on the fly, without needing to return to Photoshop. This allows for quick experimentation with what looks good or not.
What is the rule or thirds?
The rule to thirds is a great way to create interesting compositions. It divides your photo into nine equal parts horizontally as well vertically. This creates three main areas in which you want your subject. These areas are the top, middle and bottom. These areas are useful for positioning your subject in your frame.
The rule of Thirds helps you avoid placing crucial elements too close together. If they are too close to each other, it may be difficult for them to make a strong visual impression. If they are placed too far apart, it can cause them to lose focus.
Which Lenses Do I Need?
The most common question beginners ask is, "what lens should I buy?" Because there are so many options, it can be difficult to choose.
You don't have to buy a brand new lens each time you purchase a new camera. You can always add lenses later.
There are three types possible lenses.
-
Wide Angle Lens (14mm-24mm): These lenses offer a wide field of view that allows you to capture more detail. You can zoom in, but not lose image quality.
-
Normal/Standard Zoom Lens (28mm - 70mm): These lenses allow you to change focal lengths while maintaining image quality.
-
Telephoto Zoom Lens (70mm–200mm) : These lenses are ideal for photographing distant subjects. These lenses let you focus on the subject even if they are small.
These lenses can be combined in a variety of ways to create new effects. You can use a normal lens for close-up detail and switch to a zoom lens to capture distant objects.
How do I get started with digital photography?
First, you need to decide what type of camera is best for you when you first start digital photography. There are many options: DSLRs (digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras), point-and–shoot compact cameras or camcorders. Each offers different features and benefits. DSLR cameras, for example, offer superior quality images but are heavier and larger than other types. Point-and-shoot cameras tend to be smaller and lighter, and may have automatic settings for specific situations. Camcorders offer excellent video recording capabilities, and may also have still photo shooting modes. Smartphones are light and portable and can be carried around easily.
After you have decided which type of camera you want to purchase, you need to decide if you prefer to buy a new or used model. Used cameras can be found at reasonable prices, especially if they were purchased within the last few years. Because of the large amount of money that manufacturers spend on new technology, older models are more expensive.
Next, you will need lenses. The quality of your photos is directly affected by the lens. You can adjust the focal length of the lens to allow you to zoom in on the scene without losing focus. Some lenses include built-in flash units. Others require external flash. There are many brands that offer a wide variety of lenses, each with its own unique characteristics.
You will also need memory cards. Memory cards are used to store images taken with your camera. You can store hundreds, thousands, or even more pictures depending on the size of the card. Multiplying your memory cards is necessary if you are going to be taking lots of photos.
Do I Need A Tripod?
This is one those questions that everyone has to ask. A tripod isn’t always needed, but it can be very useful.
A tripod allows you to stabilize your camera when taking photos at slow shutter speeds. A tripod is a great option for landscapes and other stationary subjects.
However, using a tripod to photograph moving subjects like people or sports can result in blurriness. How can you tell which situations call for a tripod and why?
A tripod is useful when you need to photograph stationary or fast moving subjects. Examples include:
-
Sports
-
People
-
Landscapes
-
Close-ups
-
Macro shots
Do this test to see if you are unsure if you require a tripod. You can hold your camera still while you look through the lens. If blurred lines appear or you feel movement, you will definitely need a tripod.
A tripod won't make any difference if there is no blurring.
These are just a few tips to help you decide whether or not to purchase a tripod.
-
Smooth legs are a must for your tripod. This helps prevent vibrations that could shake your camera.
-
Make sure you choose a sturdy tripod. Some tripods made of plastic may not last very long. Instead, choose a metal tripod.
-
You might consider purchasing a remote control. Remote control allows you to remotely control your camera. It can automatically fire the shutter when you press the button.
-
Try to find a tripod with a head that rotates 360 degrees. This makes it easier to position your camera vertically or horizontally.
-
Be aware that tripods are not cheap. Expect to spend between $100 and $200. However, you'll get lots of value for your dollar.
-
Accessories such as filters and memory cards should be considered.
-
Before shopping online, be sure to visit your local shop. Many retailers offer shipping free of charge.
