Sony has announced a new version of one of its key lenses for professional photographers, videographers and content creators. The FE 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master II standard zoom is smaller, lighter and faster than the original 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master. At 6

As accurate as autofocus is, over time there are shifts in the optimal focus position of a lens’s optics. This can mean that, when using AF, the focus position is not perfectly placed at the desired subject distance. If you have a DSLR, you can use i

Electronic shutters are an exciting prospect. The the removal of a physical moving part allows much higher effective shutter speeds and silent shooting options. However, this technology is less suitable for shooting fast laterally-moving subjects, as

Modern digital cameras are marvels of imaging technology. Over the past 20 years, there has been a revolution in what sensors are capable of recording, both in terms of light-gathering capacity and detail capture. At one time, seemingly not too long

Resolution is defined as the ability to determine discrete points as separate in an image. Image stabilisation systems are meant to help improve sharpness, but if left active when you’re shooting from a tripod they can introduce vibrations, which deg

Digital sensors are covered by an array of coloured filters (a Bayer filter) that allow your camera to ‘see’ in colour. To better represent human vision there are twice as many green filters as blue and red ones, and this can cause issues when you’re

Lenses designed for APS-C or Micro 4/3 sensors have smaller image circles, allowing for a reduced size and weight. If these advantages are not important to you, pairing a full-frame lens with a smaller sensor improves the apparent corner and edge per

Exposing ‘to the right’, or ETTR, is an established digital technique. It ensures that images contain the minimum of noise, and captures better colour information, due to the way sensors gather image data, making fuller use of the gamut. However, usi

Another common misconception is that the hyperfocal focusing method is the best procedure for front-to-back image sharpness. The mathematics used to obtain the hyperfocal values are rather outdated, and are based on the concept of ‘acceptable sharpne

Shooting JPEGs isn’t advisable if you’re after maximum sensor potential, but in-camera NR can speed up the output process. At medium ISO settings or in good light, this can balance detail and grain for immediate image usage. At higher sensitivities,

While Lightroom profiles have become a giveaway option for influencers, camera profiles form a more integral part of colour and detail reproduction. A manufacturer’s colour science is not always built into the raw file, and some applications have the

Not every camera performs the same. Get to know how your camera responds to temperature, and changes in exposure or sensitivity, for predictable results. Even pro-quality filters reduce image quality. Keep the light path as uninhibited as possible fo

We’re so used to the idea that increasing the ISO raises noise levels that we can become preoccupied with keeping the sensitivity close to the base setting at all costs. However, read noise is not something we can control, so it will exist regardless

1 HOUR When you’re photographing landscapes, the sky will usually be much brighter than the landscape below. In this situation, it’s common practice to make use of a graduated ND filter: dark at the top and transitioning to clear at the bottom, these

Gradients are often thought of as primarily a tool for graphic designers. After all, why would photographers need a tool that creates a straightforward blend between one colour and another? When they’re utilised in the form of Gradient Maps, however,
