Especially with the 50/1.8 at f/1.8, you will see that something is sharp and in focus, while other elements of the picture are blurred. Autofocus can have trouble focusing in low light, but let's no go into that in the beginning.īeginners will sometimes confuse shallow depth of field with blur.
#CENON 350D MANUAL#
The manual (available online) should be able to assist you with that.
#CENON 350D HOW TO#
Make sure to set the lens AF/MF switch to AF and find out how to use the focus points correctly. Another remedy could be to add light, the camera has a built-in flash, and several speedlights are available.Īnother source of blur is missed focus. A tripod will mitigate camera shake, but can't help if the subject moves. If the scene is poorly lit or the aperture is very small (high f-number), this may not be possible. To remedy that, a shorter exposure time is key. Sometimes, blur is caused by camera or subject motion. The weakest point is low light performance, so if all your attempts are shot indoors, that may be the cause of your problems. While the 350D and the lenses you have is neither the latest nor the greatest, you have everything you need for learning the basics, unless of course it is broken.
I've done a lot of reading online and I can see pros and cons for Canon 250d, 850d, M50 and M6 mkiii, which probably just indicates that I don't have a clear idea of what would be best.Īnyway, apologies for the long post - any advice would be gratefully received! So, here's the question - should I spend some money and, if so, what on? Would a new camera be a good investment or should I stick with what I have and maybe purchase a new lens? As mentioned, I have the 50mm and two kit lenses that came with camera originally (18-45 and 35-80), so if I were to buy a new camera I'd like to keep them so I'm probably looking at a Canon DSLR rather than a mirrorless, but again I don't really know for sure and I can see the benefits of having a small, lightweight mirrorless. Eventually I'd also like to take sport, wildlife and travel photos too, so a bit of everything really. For my work, I'll hopefully be visiting more schools to hold interviews with teachers & pupils (I'll do the video work on my iPhone) and more shots in my partner's coffee shop/restaurant. I really want to improve and use a 'proper' camera more, so I'm considering investing a bit of money and time over the next few months to see where it gets me. In the meantime, I've learned a lot more about the different settings but I'm still very disappointed with all the photos I take - I might take 50/60 photos in the highest possible resolution and maybe 3-4 aren't terrible, which for the time it takes to upload them is very demoralising, so I end up not bothering and just using my iPhone 12 instead. At the time I was really disappointed with the results as I didn't really know how to use all the settings of the camera so all my photos were either blurry, underexposed or really noisy (I was only using the auto function, as I'd used a 600d in a previous job and that worked just fine in pretty much all conditions). I borrowed a Canon 350d about a year ago for a couple of work projects (taking photos in a classroom and a coffee shop) and on advice I bought a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens to help with taking photos indoors. The Digital Rebel XT is available in silver but due to demand is primarily produced in black.As the title suggests, I'm very much a beginner, but looking for some guidance to get started really. The previous Digital Rebel was originally only available in silver, with a limited black edition released. It uses CF cards for media storage and is powered by NB-2LH rechargeable battery.
#CENON 350D PROFESSIONAL#
The camera uses Canon's DIGIC II image processor, the same one used in their high-end professional digital SLRs. Its resolution is increased from 6 to 8 megapixels and now offers rear-curtain sync, mirror lockup, selectable autofocus modes, selectable metering modes, and many more new features.
The Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT (US) or EOS Kiss Digital N (Japan) replaced the EOS 300D early in 2005 as Canon's entry-level DSLR.
