RE: Hurricane Dorian and My New Camera
Ah, yes. Raw is the only way to go for you to be making all your own creative decisions about each image. Just like Ansel Adams! Lol! I used spot metering all the time with my 5D Mk II, but have to figure it out with this one. Perhaps I ought to actually read the manual! Lol! Maybe I need 80D for Dummies too.
One thing I have noticed is just how noisy the shutter is. One picture of a butterfly and it’s scared off!!
I know it’s the mirror making that infernal noise. My 5D must have been more insulated.
I have to try to hack my editor to use RAW. I think it's a plug-in. It didn't work last time I tried, but I've updated since, so it's worth looking into again. It's not just butterflies, BTW. That noise alerts otherwise unsuspecting street photo subjects, which can be a problem ;-)
You can't use the Canon Raw software? I never use it because I like the Adobe one better because I have got used to it!
I've never had a camera that has such a clunky mirror sound, but oh well! It was half the price of getting one of the newer 5D models, which I just could not justify!
