6D Vs T3j

1. What is the difference between a Full Frame Camera and a Crop Sensor?
full frame captures more in the frame rather then a crop sensor, the crop sensor limited the mount that is captured in the frame by cropping it.

2. What are five advantages of the 6D compared to a T3i?
lower noise at high ISO range, better image quality, larger viewfinder, better color depth, more dynamic range, less startup delay, weather sealed, better maximum light sensitivity, GPS, longer battery life, pentaprism viewfinder, Higher true resolution, Better boost ISO, Better viewfinder coverage, Shoots faster, and Significantly thinner.

3. What makes the auto focus of the Canon 5D Mark III better than that of the 6D?
The Canon 5D Mark III has 41 cross-type AF points available rather than 11 AF points in the center like the 6D has, this allows the photographer to capture a more in focus photo with less difficulty.

Glamour style.

Basic Flash Process



  • Every Flash photograph is two exposures in one.
  • Fill flash can be used when subject is backlit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows
  • Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed.
  • The flash exposure and the effective range of your flash unit will be affected by aperture and ISO settings, but not the shutter
  • Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance
  • Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately 
  • With Automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed , and the flash output is adjusted accordingly
  • Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed.
  • Harsh Lighting, washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing.
  • Is it possible to change the order of when the flash fire using "Rear Curtain Sync".
  • Removing the flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate the red eye and unflattering shadows .
