All Cameras Should Have This Mode! Canon's FV Mode

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The new FV (Flexible variable) mode on the latest Canon EOS M6 mkII and the EOS R range opens up an excellent way to shoot still images with full control of Aperture Value. Shutter Speed, Exposure Compensation and ISO all from one on screen menu.
In this video I introduce the FV concept however a full write up appears in my photography blog www.grahamhoughton.com/tech-t...

    Confirms my trust in the EOSM system. I started with an M, then an M3 with the viewfinder kit and ended with an M5 body which is excellent. Is it worth the final upgrade to the M6 mk 2? In reality are the extra pixels worth it?

    I was using FV mode on the canon R7. But now, when I use the phone, we are to move it from shutter to aperture to compensation or ISO. It says locked. How do I get it out of locked mode?

    Remarks from using Fv on my Canon EOS RP: To correct the Tv or Av settings quicker, press down the shutter first half way down. Now you can adjust from the automatically chosen value up or down. When the camera is not in measuring mode, the values start at the "left" most values, resulting in 30" for Tv or the open aperture of your lens for Av.

    Can you change the minimum shutter speed in the menus to keep this from going all the way to 30"? If you change the minimum shutter speed to, say, 1/200 of a second, you would probably be closer to the speed you would want to use.

    The one mode I wish my cameras had, is a mode that allows me to set the aperture and shutter speed, and the ISO mode changes to give the correct exposure.

    Pentax Cameras used to (and may still) have this mode, I haven’t been into photography for over a decade but I clearly remember this mode on the GR pocket camera with APS-C sensor and the KR models of the DSLR.

    That's exactly how the my Lumix g9 works. I just leave it in manual with auto ISO, then choose any aperture / shutter speed combination. The great thing is, I can still use exposure compensation if needed. It simply modifies the auto selected ISO. Of course you have to be sensible with selections to avoid the camera trying to select unrealistic ISO values.

    There are so many possible reasons - however with the Fz80 it is important, especially in low light, to keep the camera zoom to the widest setting at around 20mm - that opens the lens to its brightest setting allowing maximum light to reach the sensor. As you use more zoom the lens will close and reduce the light causing the camera to use a high sensitivity (ISO) value and this causes more noise in the video. Smartphones normally have a fixed wide angle lens with an aperture allowing twice as much light as the FZ80 and that makes all the difference

  • @GrahamHoughton12

    P mode only allows you to "shift" the aperture/shutter speed combination whereas Fv mode allows you to treat aperture and shutter speed as separate items as in M mode.

    The camera will automatically reset either the shutter speed or the aperture (or make no change at all) depending on which one you change, using a type of optimizing AI. In manual mode you are the AI, so only the ISO changes automatically - or not.

    I guess Manual or M mode with Auto ISO does not allow Exposure Compensation that the Fv mode allows. I may be wrong here.

    What if you want to switch to allowing the camera to set the shutter speed or the aperture. You have to switch to a different mode. With FV you do not need to switch the modes ever. You can do all with the two wheels and the trash can using the viewfinder. The four mode setting is simply obsolete and comes from the film era when you could not just set the ISO. Also manual with to ISO is as a concept stupid. It is not manual.

    Lets say you are in Tv but realize that you need to stop the aperture down. You either need to switch to manual or use ISO as a proxy. With FV you can just set the aperture. When you are done, press the trans can and the aperture will return to automatic. Simply put FV makes the mode dial obsolete and unnecessary.

    @@okaro6595 Yeah, maybe. I am still not used to it. I am a retired sports photographer. It was easy, it is normally just speed. I have had a 10-year break, and now I have bought a 6D Mrk II. I am impressed by shutter speed and ISO performance, compared to 10 years ago. FV don't really impress me, it is very hard to get used to.
