I can’t say for sure, but I think I had my hand on the zoom ring. The moon will still be full enough tonight perhaps I will try again. I looked up “Focus Breathing” and I am not sure what it is really talking about.


Canon EOS R50 is unexpectedly zooming back out Can anyone tell me why?
I was attempting to capture the full moon tonight using my Canon EOS R50 mounted on a tripod. I had a telephoto lens attached to the camera via a Canon adapter, as this lens was originally designed for my father's Canon Digital Rebel and had an incompatible mount for the R50. While zoomed in on the moon to fill the frame, I observed an unexpected behavior: the camera appeared to automatically zoom the image back out. I was under the impression that the camera itself lacked the capability to adjust the zoom setting, but the viewfinder clearly indicated a change in magnification Update: In case it is important, the lens has image stabilization built in, but I have it turned off as it lets me set focus and recompose better.

Canon EOS R50 custom menu - What's on yours?
Mine: ISO, Drive Mode, Battery Info, Digital Zoom. I have 2 more slots. Does your camera provide this feature? What is on your custom menu?

Thanks for your detailed reply!

We have CVS locally but I don’t remember them doing photo-printing. We also have staples, and they have a corner of their store for copy/fax/printing, I think. Were you just describing Meijer or should I stay away from Walmart for this sort of thing?


On Digital Picture Printing
Hi fellow photographers! - Do you render your digital pictures on paper (print)? - Do you use a printer in the home for it? - What printer do you use? - What printer would you recommend with cost vs quality in mind? (8.5 x 11 prints would be fine) - Do you send your pictures to a commercial printer? - Do you goto the nearest Staples or Walmart and use the printers there?

Advice Request - Lens question
First, please let me apologize for my lack of proper vocabulary. 😃 I have a Canon EOS R50 with the stock 18 to 45 lens. I need a stronger telephoto capability, to take bird pictures, the moon, get that lone oak tree out in a field etc. There are devices that one can place between the lens and the body to <<telephoto more>>, right? Would it be better to get one of these or to buy another whole lens? I am assuming the adapter would be less expensive. Money is a factor. (isn't it always?)

Can I put focus on the “record video” button as I do not use the video features of my camera? Just not into video.


Thanks!

I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.


I see - Getting that shot is a lot harder than mine - trees and flowers don’t move as fast as racecars. My eye is especially pleased by shots that use depth of field.

So there might be a way for me to designate a subject and then have the camera watch that subject while it moves through shadow or bright light and also maintain proper focus while I decide the proper framing and the moment to record?


I put the focus marker on the subject where I want the focus to be, then I would hold the shutter button down part way and re-compose the shot, then press the shutter button the rest of the way to shoot.


I just checked to see if Touch and Drag was on - it was off. I turned off “whole screen servo”, but I am not sure what that really is, I thought it was for video.


Canon EOS R50 Autofocus question {solved-unknown solution}
New camera, nube photographer. In my R50 the autofocus area can be selected and moved around, but can it be locked to the center? I currently have it set to the point focus, so the smallest focus area, but I find that the box that shows where the camera is focusing moves around (no faces involved or vehicles) Usually the focus square jumps up and to the right, and sometime moves around while I am trying to compose the shot. Is there a way to lock it down so it will stay in the center? Update: I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.
