As I have been looking around today the AE lock button is supposed to lock in the focus and exposure settings (aperture and shutter) so that the picture can be recomposed before taken. I also believe …

For fit: Short answer: YES. Longer answer: Each camera has a type of mount and is part of its specifications. All modern Rebels (yours included), XXD (60D/70D/etc), and 7D cameras are EF-S mounts. Fu …

STM is really only useful for video. If you have no interest in video then there's not much value in the STM feature itself. However, you may want to look into the quality of the STM lens vs the the …

Reference page 314 of your manual for how to use Auto Focus Micro Adjust (AFMA). Each camera and lens is built to be within certain tolerances. If the camera and lens are on the edge of acceptable t …

USM is fast, STM is smooth. For still images (particularly with sports and wildlife) it is important that focus tracks quickly whereas in video the quick movements of a USM lens make the video feel je …

There are a lot of options on Amazon, like this one. The basic idea is you put the camera in bulb mode and use the intervalometer to control the shutter. Some may have AEB settings, or you can adjust …

Right off the bat I can see that there's a difference in the direction of light. Your model is in shadow while the man is being lit from the side. You have soft lighting which is usually preferred for …

I buy filters for all of my lenses as a means of protecting the front element. Yes, it will slightly degrade the IQ (not sure it's perceptible, though), but it's a peace of mind; I'd rather replace a …

In AV all the camera is trying to do is get the exposure correct (18% grey across your metering area) whereas Auto mode is trying to take a nice picture. Either your metering area is different (becaus …

What lens you should buy depends on what pictures you want to take and how your current lens won't take them. With your current lenses you're covered for quite a wide range of pictures. The only thing …

One thing to note about the 50mm F/1.8 is that it's a fairly cheaply constructed lens. If you touch the focus ring you should notice that there's some slack in it whereas if you use other lenses of a …

I use a 32GB card, but I feel that was a mistake. If I could do it again I would've purchased multiple smaller cards. If I had more than one card I wouldn't suffer from a single point of failure in th …
