I'm trying to learn depth compositing in DPP4 and I have a question about taking the pictures.

amandalee_917,
Portrait photographers seem to fall into 3 categories - 135mm, 85mm, and 50mm.
135mm will give you head shots. 85mm will give you 3/4 body shots, and 50mm will give a shot of a person in their environment. It just depends on your goal....

athensboy,
There is another user on the General Discussion forum who is having problems with the R6III and Lightroom. Maybe you guys should get together and compare notes. Maybe something will come up.
