These settings you shared with the neutral and sharpness will be a life-changer for me today shooting a small wedding in tricky bright light. Thank you :)
Thanks I hope it helped a bit
Thank you for your time & very useful settings .
Really useful thank you very much
Great Video Martin thanks very much
Glad you enjoyed it Ronald!
GOOD WORK
Wow this was really useful for me and I've been shooting for 3-4 years now. Learnt heaps about my Canon that I've never even known before. Cheers Martin!
Glad it was useful for you!
Thank you for your video, very useful to have.
Glad it was useful
Thank you, Martin, for your Very Informative notes on the 5d3 /4
You are welcome
thank you can you make a video about focus mode
and where to focus in couple
special when they walk toward you
and in family photoshoot
yes will do had this one planned pretty much
Love the video just wondering if I can use these settings on a canon 600d?
probably yes for most of them!
I'm wondering if you've switched camera brands because it would be interesting to see a Nikon vs. Canon for features and usability in your wedding work.
I own and shoot both systems, I will make a video for this it’s on the list 🙂
Hello, one question: Do you shoot the entire wedding on manual mode or automatic mode?
Thanks
Antonio A thanks for your question. I do a mix usually. Aperture priority for when I’m moving a lot and manual when I’m more stationary, roughly.
It would be helpful if anyone here could tell me what settings you use during the procession. I’ve heard people using back button focus while others prefer servo mode
There is no set way to do that, it depends on what you prefer, do you like to use back button focus or have the focus on the shutter button. In terms of servo mode or single shot, you can use either. I use single shot but you have to make sure the gap between focus and taking the shot is small as your focus isnt tracking. you could use servo mode if you prefer that though.
Just wondering what focus points do you use for a Mark IV to shoot for a wedding? Thank you.
I cut it down to the minimum number so the focus point moves quickly around the frame I can’t remember how many it is maybe 16 or something like that
Very helpful tutorial, even though I'm using newer entry level mirrorless. It's useful to see your camera settings for event photography. Thank you.
What custom settings would you recommend for outdoor portrait photography with one off-camera flash, shooting from just before and after golden hour?
I’d advise you not to use flash at that time you will make the photos worse not better. It looks a bit amateur the whole off camera flash at sunset thing.
@@MartinCastein Thank you, sir. Yes, I am amateur and I did notice the photos without flash looked nicer. Though I was using a small diffuser for fill light if the model was turned away from the sun.
If you don’t have the sun itself in the frame then normally the situation is low dynamic range and most cameras can cope with that. If you still want to use flash then under expose one stop and fill flash just enough to lift exposure on subject but keep fill flash low so the ratio of natural light to flash is very low
@@MartinCastein That's very good and helpful advice. Thank you for taking time to reply. 🤠 When using flash in dim lighting, such as after sunset, is it better to under or over expose? I was struggling with adjusting ISO and flash power, so as not to blow out the models. I tried to keep my ISO to 100-400 range, which wasn't enough for proper exposure post sunset. I tried to compensate with fill flash, but was cautious and underexposed my photos in RAW. (The model was evenly illuminated, but the background was too far away). Hopefully, I can get the exposure right next time.
@@actorjay you want to expose for the background first, so take some photos without paying attention to your people in the picture. Expose so the histogram just shows the highlights not blow but only just. So as bright as possible without blowing the highlights. Then add flash,. You balance your flash exposure by only adjusting the flash power, increase the flash till the exposure looks balanced and still no highlights are blown. Does that help?
Thank you
you are welcome!
Hey Martin,
Would you care to explain your reasoning behind shooting in srgb for weddings etc (printing, which is what I assume is the end goal here)? I've always heard one should shoot in Adobe RGB as that provides a more colour range and that printers (more professional ones at least) print Adobe RGB natively. I might be wrong, and this might very well have changed since I took photography classes about 15 years ago (how the time flies ey?).
Hi its because im shooting in RAW the colour space affects jpegs only 🙂
Martin Castein Photography Oh really. Didn't know that. By the way, now that I have your attention. I would really love to see a video of your 6d settings, or the way you handle it. I just bought one and I'm trying tobget used tobit. The workflow is pretty dreadful compared to the 5d classic in my opinion.
@@TheDavveponken well in much the same way, what part of it are you finding awkward?
Do you use AV a lot or just manual and
I use AV for moving around in diffierent lighting, if im static and pointing the camera around more then i will use manual, its a time thing basically, if i dont have time to catch a moment with the right exposure it means im moving and the lighting is always changing so use AV, ive shot many weddings in manual all the way through too though.
Hello Martin, can you shoot with creative auto or Manual only
I’d suggest you try aperture priority with auto iso and manual mode I probably need to do a video on this
Okay sir. while shooting cinematic photographs or video which settings is best to make it cinematic please can you do a video on that as well🙏
@@MartinCastein Most times I take pictures with creative auto so I don't bother Editing my pictures again in the system
What if my canon does not have RAW as an option? It only has the two L two M and two S options… am I looking in the wrong place or not pressing the right button?
hmmmmm what camera do you have?
What can I change to just hit button once instud of two times to take pictures and what about black n white?
how do you mean hit the button once? why do you have to press it twice?
@@MartinCastein I figured it out..thank u ,u do good work..
@@tonyc.3244 ok, glad you worked it out! and thanks
Is there a downside of using auto servo all the time
auto servo do you mean continuous focus all the time or did you mean auto iso?
@@MartinCastein focus servo
@@MartinCastein so my question is why not always use AF servo?
Johnny Fotografie it’s preference, you can’t focus and recompose with it if you don’t do back button focus, many don’t like back button focus including me and it doesn’t work with flash focus beam. But ultimately it’s personal preference. It really is what suits you. Nothing much at a wedding that needs servo mode but if you like it then use it.
@@MartinCastein I have always backbutton for focus and af servo on all the time... just not sure how reliable that is. So there for my question maybe you have a idea. Is one shot more accurate?
I’m filming a wedding tomorrow I’m so screwed
how did it go?
how did it go lol, you're a photographer and panicking what you'd have done!! 😭😭😭
am covering a wedding and am freaking out
Calm down and keep it simple
@@MartinCastein thanks 👍😊
