I have a couple manual lenses that I use occasionally. One is a 25mm f/1.8 Meike EF-M and the other is an old 35mm f/2.8 Hanimex M42 mount that I use with an adapter. With both lenses I've had issues with overexposure when taking outdoor photos in da...
I have an EOS M50 Mark II and an image.canon account, plus the image Downloader application on a Windows 10 PC that automatically downloads all the images I upload to image.canon from the camera. I like this because it means that when I'm on the road...
I have an EOS M50 Mark II and an iPhone XR with the Camera Connect app, which I like to use both for supplying location data to the camera as well as occasionally remotely operating the shutter. The problem I'm having, however, is that sometimes when...
I record photos with the highest-quality JPEG setting available in the camera, which leaves most photo files around 8-9MB in size. For photos of important events, I also save in C-RAW, in case I need to edit them later. When I do edit them in Digital...
I have an M50 Mark II and for important shots I record in both JPG and C-RAW (compressed raw - .CR3) format. I can use Digital Photo Professional 4 to make adjustments to these photos such as to adjust the brightness. What I want to know, though, is ...
It's too bad Canon didn't maintain the M series - it sounds like an M50 or a newer incarnation of it would have been a good fit for you in terms of price, capability and ergonomics. Because of the latter if I were to buy into the R series I would lik...
The M50 is a good camera, though as the others said it is no longer being produced. Whether it makes sense to pick it up depends on the price and your budget. If the price is low enough and you don't have a big budget you could end up with capabiliti...
Unless you're pretty far from the launch site, I think an 85mm on an APS-C camera will be too tight. I took that shot at 33mm and it filled the frame vertically. I was about 1/3 of a mile from the launch site. (I think 85mm might be a little tight fo...
I've been very happy with the EF-M 15-45mm "kit" lens for fireworks. Even if you can't get real close, I think this is one of those situations where it makes sense to take advantage of the high resolution of the M50 and crop to what you want. Here is...
Whatever else you discover or try, just be sure to put the camera in a mode that involves manually setting the aperture, such as A or M. In any other mode exposure will be unpredictable.
