r/Cameras

Got back from a trip recently that included museum/outdoor photography, where I used my Canon R100. The R100 has scene presets/filters that are built in, like specialized for nighttime photography or for artwork. When I use those presets, the pictures come out really clean and well colorized, and I'm happy with them. However, when I use any other format like auto or any type of priority (the "standard" camera), the photos look fine on the camera screen but come out really yellow/amber tinted.

Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Also is there a specific way to edit this out or is it just decreasing the warmth of the picture? I don't like them this warm-tinted but I also don't want to drain all that saturation out of them.

I tried to find the setting for high resolution for my Olympus E-M10iii. no matter how much I change from A,M,S,P the setting won’t show up. I’m new to camera so I’m sure I’m doing something stupid to the point all YouTube videos that I saw won’t even bother mentioning it might not show up.

Pls need help.
Thank you In advance!

Can anyone help identify this piece of equipment that I inherited in renting a new space for woodworking.

TY

I worked for a junk removal company a long time ago. I took this camera because I thought it was cool (and had a cool box) but I know nothing about cameras. over a decade later and I found it again in my things.

I was going to toss it in the electronics recycling, but Gemini claims there may be enthusiasts out there that would be interested, even if just for parts. Is that true? It looks to be an Olympus OM-2 that was possibly used in a dentist's office.

i bought this camera as is on a lot, cost like 10$, electronics work, but the aperture blades seem to be stuck closed. is this it? is there any salvation?

Today I got my Canon EOS 700D delivered from MPB. This is my first ever camera if you don't count mobile. Very excited!! Kindly suggest some settings I need to keep on this as I am new to Camera settings as well. Also please suggest 1 good lens for far zooming, currently I have 18-55mm IS STM. I want more zooming.

Thanks

This is the first time where I use my sony camera to take pictures of food with no prior experience. The pictures I normally take are portraits so I have done alot of flash photography. I recently got a Softbox for my portraits to go with my v1s. I since then upgraded to the AD300 Pro for 1500 sek.

Anyways I went out to take portraits and this restaurant approached me asking for pictures in exchange for a payment, I said sure why not but I don’t have ANY experience taking food photography. I arrive to the shoot the next day, take around 500 images, keep 60 of them and edit them the same day. They told me to return the next day to discuss a price, after that they said sunday and then monday. My friend told me to charge them 220 usd the first time, I said why not. They counter offered 120 usd but since they already time wasted so much I said why not.

They want monthly pictures and are offering 270 usd for 5 hours of work not including the editing and retouch. My question is does that even seem fair? I was thinking more like 370 usd. They also recommended me to other restaurants 🤔 (5-6)

Picked up an AF-1 for under $100 for for my wife. It has the same 35mm f/2.8 Zuiko lens as the Mju-II, a solid 80s build, and doesn't break the bank.

I put together a quick write-up with some sample scans if anyone’s considering one: 

What's your favorite budget point-and-shoot right now?

Found it at a flea market and took it instead of a canon t60

I have a canon M50 Mark 2 and recently the lens started malfunctioning and now it isn't working. I got a paid internship recently and I'm saving up to get a new lens and man, mirrorless lenses are expensive!!

I went down a rabbit hole and i found this lens and it's quite cheap. It says it's 9216 in INR (96.43 in USD) but I've never heard about this lens brand and I absolutely don't want to spend my internship stipend on a blind buy. So, help me out here please.

New to photography, indoor photos are fine, however when trying to take photos outdoors and I'm just getting a full white screen, is there any thing physically wrong with the camera or is it settings, any help would be much appreciated, many thanks.

Hello fellow photographers!

I somewhat regret taking all the photos from my last Japan trip on an iPhone. But I figured that if I get a decent camera setup now and develop some skills, I might be able to take some really nice photos on my future Japan trips.

I’m definitely no expert and only shoot for fun.

I mostly take photos of scenery, but I’d like to experiment more with shallow depth of field and take photos at night with beautiful neon lights and bokeh. I’m not really interested in photographing people, but I do enjoy taking photos of animals.

I’ve been looking at the following setup since both get recommended quite a lot:

Sony Alpha 6700 used – €1,108.59
Sigma 18–50mm f/2.8 – €489

I assume these would make a great combo, but maybe there are other camera/lens combinations that would fit what I like to shoot even better.

I’d love to hear some recommendations!

Budget: < 2000€

Country: Germany to develop skills. Maybe more lenses accessories later in Japan.

Condition: Used is ok.

Type of Camera: I guess Mirrorles

Intended use: Mostly Photography with some Video

If photography; what style: landscape, portrait, street, wildlife, etc.

If video what style: Capture a moment of the scenery

What features do you absolutely need: I think weather sealing would be nice

What features would be nice to have: Dual Sd

Portability: Portable so it can stay with me on a trip most of the time.

Cameras you're considering: Sony Alpha 6700

Cameras you already have: Iphone 17 Pro Max.

Notes: I love those Silver/Black Fujifilm camera body look, but I don’t think it would be the right camera for me

I've been looking at the Nikon z6iii but I'm just overwhelmed by the options in other brands - this will be my first digital camera (photos on this post are from my film camera).

• Budget: $3500 - $4000 for body + a good zoom lens 24 - 70 or 24-120(happy with f4)
• Country: USA
• Condition: Would prefer new but open to used
• Type of Camera: Mirrorless (ideally full frame for cropability and astrophotography)
• Intended use: Mainly photography
• If photography; what style: Mainly landscape, some street, portrait and astro (would like low light capabilities)
• If video what style: N/A
• What features do you absolutely need: Full frame, high dynamic range, not too noisy at high iso
• What features would be nice to have: good IBIS, fast readout / e-shutter (but don't care too much about this)
• Portability: Small bag - don't care too much about portability
• Cameras you're considering: Nikon z6iii, Sony a7iv, Nikon z8, Lumix S1R
• Cameras you already have: Nikon FM, FM2 - like them a lot! Just want to shoot digital

I think my use case is pretty specific - I want a high megapixel count and dynamic range for landscape shots and don't care too much about shutter speed etc. I would also love to hear recommendations for stacking images for resolution that brands offer (like pixel shift)! My main indecision is on which brand has the best (and ideally inexpensive) first party as well as third party lenses, before I get locked in.

Hello,

I've got an X-E4 for a couple of months now after trying Sony A6700, and various micro 4/3 cameras for a long time before that.

Some questions/thoughts for those that have used them.

• Not at all impressed with film sims and lack of controls over black point and contrast. Sony (creative looks) and Olympus do this better...Lumix and Nikon even better. I like SOOC for candid family shots, but I can't get anything I'm really happy with because I don't like yellow pee filter style. I may just go back to a mobile raw workflow with some presets in LR mobile.
• When I use the PZ 15-45mm, I have no idea what focal length it's set to. I like to put zoom lenses to common focal lengths, like 16, 18, 23, 35, etc... because I have an understanding of what distortion/compression and distance is like at them. I have to guess, or shoot and check the exif. Why why why can't the LCD display the current focal length?
• Changing metering is not an option when I have face/eye detect on? But when I do shoot with face and eye detect on Aperture priority, the exposures on shots are all over the place: https://i.imgur.com/43Xj9bW.png zero settings changes on those photos but the exposure is all over the place
• Autofocus is not great. I knew this going in but it's worse than Olympus' contrast detect. The tracking and eye detection is OK, but it just misses focus all the time on static subjects.
• The joy stick has a pause delay if you hold it, before it starts to rapidly move around, so you have to either anticipate that or just use it like a d-pad and keep clicking it over and over. It's my first camera with a joystick and I found it very un-intuitive because of that.

Anyway I'm thinking of going back to a small Sony camera like ZV-E10i or hold out to see if OM Systems announces an E-P8 or an older m43 camera like E-PL7.

Few SOOC shots I took over the weekend with the X-E4 and a recipe based on Pro Neg. Std: https://imgur.com/a/DK6YCV1

It's still run and readable. But, for long term, is it safe ?
