BRIAN WORLEY
Lens quality is better at the centre of the image, so will image quality be better with a camera with an APS-C crop sensor than a full-frame camera?
I plan to update my EOS 750D and wondered if a mirrorless camera would be a good choice, if so which one?
BRIAN WORLEY
Is Manual mode the best way to work?
How can you stop a lens from changing focus when the EOS R5 camera automatically powers off, even with manual focus?
Is it possible to keep the display of my Speedlite 430EX III-RT illuminated when shooting at night?
A professional photographer explained how to back up camera settings to a card, how do I do that with my EOS R6 Mark II?
Why can’t I manually select ISO100 when HDR shooting HDR PQ is enabled on the EOS R10?
Why does my EOS mirrorless camera take a photo when I touch the screen to set the AF point?
I used closeup mode, but my EOS R10 won’t focus any closer. Can you help?
Why does the viewfinder show the previous image before I shoot again?
I have too many settings available when I press the M-FN button on my EOS R6 Mark II – can it be simplified? Edward Gray, Chichester
