    Managed Color for Unamanged Software

    I have calibrated my monitor and preserve the ICC profile from my R5 and for most things this is great: I get accurate color ignoring uncalibrated devices my pictures look more or less the same everywhere. Everywhere, except a small image-sharing website: Instagram. Perhaps you've heard of it...

    Locking Exposure in Manual

    I have an aging 70D and I find shooting on Manual particularly tricky when I want to change aperture -- I always fumble counter-rotating the shutter-speed dial to keep my exposure constant. I'm considering upgrade options and wondering if there's a feature of a newer camera that makes this...

    Low-Light Autofocus Performance

    I was at a wedding with an old 70D and a new 35mm F/1.4L II and noticed when the lights dimmed for dancing I had a real tough time locking focus for stills (I had a Speedlite so the actual shots were properly lit). As I process my results I'm left wondering how modern cameras would handle that...

    On-Board Radio Transmitter?

    The ST-E3 RT radio transmitter was released 7 years ago and no camera body has been released since with a built-in transmitter. I find this baffling. People have suggested that regional differences make it hard to get approval for the radio frequency bands used but I'm not sure I believe that...
