Canon 5D Mark III Experience to confidently use the ones that turn your Canon 5D Mk III into an image capturing tool that works best for you and the photographic situations you work in. 1.1 Take Control of Your Camera Since the camera is a tool to take the images you want to take, you obviously can’t always allow the camera to make decisions for you. You have to take control of the camera to ensure that you capture exactly the images you intend - by autofocusing precisely where you wan

Canon 5D Mark III Experience Taking control of all of these functions will enable you to consistently create the dramatic and compelling images you envision. Learning to use and get the most out of a highly advanced digital SLR (dSLR) camera like the 5D Mk III takes time, practice, patience, mistakes, and experimentation. If you have upgraded from an older dSLR such as a the original 5D or 5D Mk II, an EOS 60D, 7D or one of their predecessors, or from a Rebel to the 5D Mk III, you are

Canon 5D Mark III Experience 2. MENUS and CUSTOM FUNCTIONS Setting up the 5D Mk III The Menus and Custom Functions of the Canon EOS dSLR cameras allow you to have greater, more precise control over how your camera functions. They are an important part of what makes the 5D Mk III a more powerful tool than a camera such as the Canon 60D, and they allow you to customize the camera to work for you, to work how you work. I highly recommend that you dig into these menus and change the setti

Canon 5D Mark III Experience Release - This option will prioritize shutter release, or immediately capturing the shot at the possible expense of exact focus. AF Priority - This option will prioritize focus for the shot, ensuring that the subject is in focus before the picture is taken. This may cause a brief, perhaps micro-seconds delay while the camera confirms focus before releasing the shutter. AF4 Lens Drive When AF Impossible This setting tells the camera what to do when it

Canon 5D Mark III Experience 61 Points - All 61 AF points are available to manually select. This is obviously a lot of AF Points to click across to reach your desired AF Point, but it can be relatively quickly done and will potentially allow you to find a point at or near your subject, thus minimizing any required recomposing of the frame before taking the shot. The 61 Points setting should be taken advantage of for shooting action situations and tracking moving subjects. Use it in co

Canon 5D Mark III Experience With certain lenses (listed in the Canon manual as groups F to H on pages 83-84) the number of available AF points from which to manually select will be fewer. Also note that with the settings that limit the number of points to less than 61 Points, the AF Point Expansion and Zone AF Autofocus Area Modes will still function and take advantage of all 61 points. You may find that a combination of fewer AF Points (41 or 15) combined with an AF Point Expansion A

Canon 5D Mark III Experience Bracketing Sequence This setting determines the sequence of exposures when using Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) or White Balance Bracketing. (Remember that the 5D Mk III can bracket either 2, 3, 5, or 7 shots, not just the traditional 3 shots - number to be set with the next menu item). The bracketing sequence setting depends how you like to order your bracketing, and this may be important to you if you do a lot of HDR work. Setting “0 - +” means the “c

Canon 5D Mark III Experience 4.3b Spot AF (Manual Selection) If you need to focus on a precise area that is smaller than the Single-Point AF area, you can make use of Spot AF. This will not necessarily make your focusing more accurate in general situations just because it is smaller, but rather it is used to address specific autofocusing challenges. For example if you wish to focus between the parts of a fence or cage to a subject beyond, you may find that Single-Point AF searches back
