Capturing photos and videos are one of the best ways to document and capture shared memories together – Every moment that’s worth creating is surely worth revisiting, as we once again experience the joys that they bring.

The post Canon Christmas Gift Guide 2023 appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

“With the increasing demand for our EOS R system, we are dedicated to broadening our cost-effective APS-C EOS R offerings. The introduction of the RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM enables APS-C EOS R photographers to span a comprehensive focal length, from ultra-wide to telephoto. This versatile lens is not only affordable but is also perfect for diverse settings, from indoor photography to landscapes and even vlogging. We anticipate it becoming a popular choice for many enthusiasts.” Said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore.

A Pint-sized Lens for Travel and Handheld Vlogging 

The RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is just 44.9mm long when retracted and weighs only around 150g, this lens is around 40% shorter and lighter than its EF mount counterpart, the EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM (approx.72mm, 240g), and trumps even the nifty EF-M11-22mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM (approx.58.2mm, 220g) in portability. Its size makes it easy to stabilise during handheld vlogging, with its ultra-wide angle of view capturing both the vlogger and surrounding scenery in the same frame, rendering a selfie stick unnecessary. 

Its featherweight and tiny size also makes it a convenient addition to a travel camera kit. While you may barely feel its weight on hikes and long walks, it will certainly come in handy for capturing the stunning view that awaits!

Sharp, Steady Images Even in The Dark

The RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM delivers sharper, steadier images even in low light condition. With built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS), camera shake can be reduced by up to 4 shutter speed stops’ equivalent (1), so images are less likely to be blurry even when the shutter speed slows. When combined with a camera with In-Body IS such as the EOS R7, Coordinated Control IS enhances the effect to up to 6 stops’ equivalent (2).

For video shooting, Optical IS coordinates with in-camera Movie Digital IS (3) to achieve steady, natural footage for shooting while walking, so you can film your travelog with minimal equipment. Three-way Coordinated Control IS with In-Body IS-equipped cameras further enhances the effect.

Unique Wide-angle Close-ups

Taking close-ups of small objects with background details is possible with the lens’ 0.14m closest focusing distance throughout the entire focal range, which achieves a maximum magnification of up to 0.23x when autofocus is enabled. One can turn off the AF at the 10mm mark to shoot even closer (closest focusing distance: 0.086m) and achieve half-macro (0.5x max. magnification) shots with the unique Centre Focus Macro effect.

Crisp Image Details Up to The Edges

Despite its lightweight body, the RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM delivers image quality that surpasses its bigger EF-S counterpart. The RF mount’s short back focus enables a lens configuration that optimises image quality while minimising the number of elements, keeping ghosting, chromatic aberration, and colour blurring well under control. Ornate details are rendered in crisp quality all the way to the edges. 

Optimised Focusing

Autofocus is driven by a leadscrew-type STM (stepping motor), which enables smooth, seamless focus transitions during video recording. The lens also supports Focus Breathing Correction, which digitally corrects the distracting changes in angle of view caused by focus movement when recording video.

Pricing and Availability

The Canon RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM will be launched at the recommended retail price of $529. The availability for this lens will be advised at a later date.

Notes:

1. Focal length 18mm, when using EOS R10, Yaw/Pitch axes.
2. Focal length 18mm, when using EOS R7, Yaw/Pitch axes.
3. On compatible cameras. When using Movie Digital IS, the shooting range becomes narrower.

TikTok

My entry into TikTok is a story on procrastination because I don’t really know how to leverage or differentiate TikTok platform and how this would fit into my social media/content creation setup. More insights can be read here on my TGH Technology and Business portal/blog article, where I wrote from a social media and digital marketing perspective.

TikTok would give me a new dimension in my visual storytelling through vertical videos format, together with YouTube. Here is my first TikTok video announcing my maiden launch on TikTok platform – TGH Photography and Travel Visual Storyteller and Explorer Series Production on TikTok, shot with the Canon EOS R50.

@genghuitan Welcome to my TGH #Photography and #Travel #visualstoryteller and #Explorer Series Production on #TikTok! I More stories, photos and short videos coming soon!

TikTok is unique in its own sense, style, character and following. They are more of an entertainment platform than a social media platform, even though they are a form of social media. Therefore, hopping onto TikTok would require a new and different set of social media strategies and direction.

A new content creator + visual storytelling approach and journey 

There are always be some points in our ongoing photography and creative journey that we have to refresh and rebuild (at some junctures too) the tools of our trade, that would allow us to adapt and meet the demands of a new era of living, digital world, social media and media consumption.

From a purist photographer, diversifying out into a content creator + digital agency/studio setup (TGH Digital Studio), complementing my TGH Photography business. All these didn’t happen overnight, they took a few years, the change wasn’t easy, it’s still ongoing amidst an ever-changing media consumption, digital transformation, social media and technological (cue Generative AI) landscapes.

While photography and visual storytelling remains my core and strengths, the diversification and addition of video, vlogging and TikTok would enhance and reinforce how I want to tell my stories in both photos and videos. 

Therefore, a new camera for the new future, for the hybrid content creator and visual storyteller has come into play, a favourite iconic camera that I used to associate/brand myself will have to leave. That story would be for another time, another place, in time to come, that fellow photographers would be to relate and resonate. 

A candle light lighting up another, passing the fire and spark to start a new content creation and visual storytelling journey ahead. 

The time is now, a new era has dawned.

TGH Photography x Canon EOS R50 Exploration 

Marking my first National Photography Month celebration, I would be showcasing some photos shot with the Canon EOS R50 that I am reviewing inside this article, published inside my maiden National Photography Month celebratory article. 

The #Canon #EOSR50 was recently launched in February 2023, a new compact and lightweight APS-C mirrorless #camera. Although the EOS R50 is an entry level camera, it is packed with fun, creative tools and automated features, allowing users to create fun and high-quality vlogs, as well as fun and nice photographs.

This Canon EOS R50 is your ideal daily camera companion, lightweight and compact with its kit lens setup, delivering both quality photographs and vlogs, and most importantly bringing you fun and enjoyment. 

You can now move into a new realm of fun and enjoyment  in both photography and vlogging with the Canon EOS R50.

Suggestions to Celebrate National Photography Month

Here are some suggestions to celebrate National Photography Month that I reckon would allow you to explore and have fun with your photography adventures during this National Photography Month and beyond.

Go out explore your neighbourhood with your camera

How well do you know your local neighbourhood? It’s time to explore and rediscover your neighbourhood, you might have been missing out some gems that you might not have realised it.

Go for a photo walk with your photography friends or join a photo walk outing

A photo walk with your photography friends can be a fun group outing with liked minded photography friends. Or you can join a photo walk outing and make new photography friends! 

Take a photo of your favourite pet (dog/cat)

Alright, you have watching cute and adorable dog or cat photos and videos on social media, you also love your pet dog/cat, take many photos of your favourite pet! For me, I have my cute and adorable neighbourhood community cats to photograph and enjoy my time with them!

Visit a photography exhibition, as well as arts, history, heritage and culture exhibition 

When was the last time you visited a photography exhibition, or an arts, history, heritage and culture exhibition at the museum? Check out your local museums exhibition listings or discover where local creative artists are showcasing their artworks, support fellow local artists too!

Embark on a new personal photography project

Do you have a personal photography project on your mind but you are hesitant and afraid to take the first step? What interests you or something that is precious and close to you, that you would like to document them via your photographs and stories?

We all have the fear and anxiety before we embark on a new photography project. Why not take this National Photography Month to break this chain of fear and embark on your new personal photography project? 

Publish a photo book or a photography zine 

Have you ever completed personal photography projects, or a series of photographs that you really like, and wanted to publish your own photo book from your collection of works? Are you hesitant and afraid to take the first step? I published my first photo book, a black and white Hokkaido landscapes photo book in 2015, I hope my story would inspire you to take the first step to print your photography works, and your first photo book. 

From a photo book, I went on to publish smaller photography works through the form of a photography zine. At that point in time, I was hesitant and afraid too. Slowly and surely, I overcame them, published two photography zines, first zine is “TGH Photography Zine Vol 1: SG55 Special Edition”, and my second zine is “TGH Photography Therapy Zine and Playbook”. 

If you like, they are available for purchase as physical copy and/or digital copy on the MagCloud platform!

Read a photography book (photography tips, photo book, visual stories, photoblogs)

There are a lot of photography books providing photography skills, knowledge and tips, there are also photo books of various photography genres and interest. National Geographic magazine visual stories and photographs have been one of my early key influences and motivation to enter photography, and they are the foundation to how I pursue my visual storytelling, as well as the art and craft of photography, that can be read on my TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog. 

Support your photographer friends

If you have photographer friends who are providing commercial/professional photography services, support them, recommend/refer contacts/business to them. As for those serious enthusiast photographers or those just starting out, encourage them and support them in their photography journeys! 

Enjoy and have fun taking photographs!

Whether you are a photographer with decades of professional experience, serious enthusiast or just starting off on your photography adventure, National Photography Month gives each and everyone of us photographers to celebrate our love, passion, dedication and flair for photography.  

Time to head out and enjoy having fun taking photographs with your camera! Happy National Photography Month! 

Oh, for all fellow Star Wars fans out there, it’s the month of May! You know the drill! May The 4th Be With You (May The Force Be With You)!

Whether you are a travel wanderlust, an explorer, a history and heritage lover, or a geek/nerd in transportation networks via land, sea or air travel modes, or a fascination for space and beyond, AROUND THE WORLD at Alliance Française De Singapour will definitely interest you to hop onboard a journey AROUND THE WORLD!

Pack your bags, it’s time to embark on a journey AROUND THE WORLD at Alliance Française De Singapour! Following protagonist Phileas Fogg’s challenge in the novel, you are now going to transcend through time and space, traveling around the world via air, land, sea or space.

Arrival at the Itinerary Office 

Upon arrival at the Itinerary Office, you will be greeted and invited to write your your thoughts and feelings as you prepare to embark on this highly immersive, interesting and engaging journey AROUND THE WORLD. 

The Alliance Française De Singapour AROUND THE WORLD travelers notebook/passport to France is your companion guide. When I returned home after visiting this amazing exhibition that brought out the travel visual storyteller (and wanderlust) in me, I took out my travel writing kit/ink stamps and travel accessories, and began my journey AROUND THE WORLD. 

When I started writing down my travel adventures journey AROUND THE WORLD, it brought back memories of “The Little Prince”, an exhibition that I visited some years back in 2018, held at the former Singapore Philatelic Museum.  Somehow, this kind of connects the dot together in my exploration journey AROUND THE WORLD.

There is no hard and fast rule on where and how you want to start your AROUND THE WORLD journey at Alliance Française De Singapour. You can start with air travel that you might be most familiar and comfortable with, or you might prefer to go on a historical and heritage approach from the Industrial Revolution, to the boom of world travel and tourism and beyond.

Around the World By Land

Discover France’s intercity TGV, an acronym for Train à Grande Vitesse. Duly named ‘high-speed train’, he holds the world record for speed and is constantly pushing the limits of high-speed rail technology globally. TGV M (“M” for modular), the newest generation of high-speed trains is also presented, providing a forward-looking lens into the future of higher energy saving and more cost-efficient modes of land travel.

Did you spot Singapore’s MRT train inside this land transportation segment? What is the relationship between our Singapore MRT and French transportation? I would leave it for you to visit and discover the answer for yourself! 

Around the World By Sea

Long before flying around the world becomes a common form of transportation, sea travel leads the way for movement and travels around the world. In this fascinating world of French sea transportation, check out a model of of the SS France, celebrating the epitome of French excellence, recalling how the longest Trans-Atlantic liner at the time, a record held for 42 years, charmed sea passengers in the 1960s with her luxury, beauty and grace, up till her very last journey in 1974.

Around the World By Air

Some of the most iconic aircrafts that have played a significant role in shaping modern air travel. Before you vote for the Airbus A380, check out the world’s first supersonic passenger-carrying airplane, Air France’s Concorde, which still holds the record for some fastest commercial flight journeys today, embodying French art de vivre at its finest. Guests are encouraged to reminisce the craft in its glory days through Concorde’s original menu, tableware or beauty pouch on display.

By the way, do you recall or still have the Singapore $20 note that has the image of the iconic Concorde soaring above Changi Airport? Do you remember when the Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 make headlines arriving into Singapore Changi Airport? 

While I may not have flown on the Concorde, I did at least flown once on the Airbus A380 from Singapore to Shanghai! Next travel wanderlust goal is to fly on the Airbus A350 to a faraway destination!

Around the World by Space 

The human race dreamt and wrote about traveling to space in the earlier centuries, today it’s a reality. Let’s take a journey beyond Earth and into vast expanse of space. 

Have a first-hand experience by entering into an immersive experience of space travel through a Virtual Reality experience, ‘Dans la peau de Thomas Pesquet’, literally in the shoes of Thomas Pesquet, allows them to explore space like never before, with the French European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut, famous for spending six months in the International Space Station.

Next stop: Space travel?

Exploring with the Canon EOS R50

The #Canon #EOSR50 was recently launched in February 2023, a new compact and lightweight APS-C mirrorless #camera. Although the EOS R50 is an entry level camera, it is packed with fun, creative tools and automated features, allowing users to create fun and high-quality vlogs, as well as fun and nice photographs.

I am currently reviewing this latest compact and lightweight camera, exploring with the Canon EOS R50 together with my visual storytelling.

This Canon EOS R50 is your ideal daily camera companion, lightweight and compact with its kit lens setup, delivering both quality photographs and vlogs, and most importantly bringing you fun and enjoyment.

The post Earth Day 2023 – Invest In Our Planet appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

“The new EOS R50 will deliver great outcomes for new users with smart features that enhance their photographs and videos. We want to empower content creators with the ability to focus on storytelling without feeling overwhelmed by the technical aspects of the camera. While equipped with strong technical functionalities from higher end models in our EOS R system, the new EOS R50 remains small, mighty, and simple to use.” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. 

High-quality Video Right Out of the Box

With the EOS R50, you can be assured of the high quality of the footage, giving you high-quality video right out of the box. 

24.2MP APS-C Format Image Sensor

The EOS R50’s APS-C format image sensor is 3X large than the 1-inch sensor on the latest smartphones. This translates to sharper, more detailed images and videos, and less noise (graininess) even in low light. Users can also look forward to beautiful, natural-looking bokeh (shallow focus) effects.

High-quality Video: First Entry EOS-series APS-C Mirrorless Camera to Produce 6K-Oversampled Cropless 4K

With the 24.2MP APS-C format image sensor, the EOS R50 is also capable of producing high-quality crop less 4K 30p video oversampled from 6K worth of data. 

What is oversampling? Oversampling means more information to reduce artefacts and other issues, so despite your blogging experience and skill, the image quality will look pristine and professional.

Designed for Intuitive Vlogging 

The EOS R50 is equipped with ample modes and features that simply shooting, it is designed for vloggers who want the image quality of a dedicated camera without the learning curve that usually comes with having to operate one.

It is lightweight, weighing at only about 375g (1), it is about the same size as the EOS M50 Mark II, making this camera perfect for blogging on the move!

Intelligent Focus Switching during Close-up Demos

The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, which detects and tracks people, animals (dogs, cats, and birds) and vehicles (motorsports cars and motorcycles) based on their characteristics just got even smarter. 

For close-up demos, the Movie for Close-up Demo mode quickly and automatically switches focus to the subject closest to the camera. You can showcase your new gadget or online shopping loot in one smooth take, with the focus where you want it to be. 

Support for focus breathing ensures that there are no distracting changes in angle of view that tend to occur during focus transitions when vlogging. 

Image Stabilisation Optimised for Handheld Vlogging 

Get seamless, steady footage even when shooting handheld: The EOS R50 comes with not just one, but two different Movie IS (Image Stabilizer) [2] levels (‘Enhanced’ and ‘On’) that digitally perform 5-axis camera shake correction, enhanced when combined with an RF lens with in-lens IS. 

When the monitor is in “selfie” mode, the default “Movie IS: Enhanced” mode optimises image stabilisation for handheld wide-angle shooting, correcting the unwanted motion that tends to become more obvious at the edges of wide-angle images. You can switch between two levels by simply tapping the “Wide-angle” button, to avoid excessive close-ups. 

Auto Leveling Mode (3)

For scenes and shooting angles where it is hard to keep the camera level, the auto level mode automatically corrects horizontal tilt. This would save time from manual correction in another app. 

Share Your Content Quickly: High-quality Livestreams with just one USB cable

Planning to do livestream high-quality footage (4) and audio from your EOS R50? All you need is one USB-C connection to your computer, it’s a plug-and-play with no drivers required. 

Straight from Camera to Phone

With Canon’s Camera Connect smartphone app, it is fuss-free to set up, allowing you to easily transfer videos and JPEG photos from your camera to a smartphone either through a wireless Wi-Fi or wired USB-C connection. As the camera supports transcoding, which makes 4K and Full HD video files lighter, even high-quality videos can be transferred and uploaded to social media smoothly.

Get Great Photos Easily

For those who are not too familiar with technical photography terms and complicated post-processing, the EOS R50 has a suite of new intelligent creative features that make it even easier to make the most of the camera’s imaging capabilities. 

Some notable new functions are:

• Advanced A+: Automatically captures and blends exposure-bracketed images for better night and backlit portraits, and focus-bracketed images for images that are in focus from front to back. 
• Creative Bracket: Automatically generates multiple versions of a shot taken by the user with different brightness and colour tone settings. The settings of the autogenerated shots are shown so that users can learn. 
• Subject blur guide: Available in the Panning SCN mode. Helps the user practice panning and improve the success rate of panning shots. 

RF-S55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM: Extend your Reach 

The RF-S55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM, a compact, lightweight, and affordable telephoto zoom lens, is the latest addition to the RF-S lineup. Providing a full-frame equivalent angle of view of 88 to 336mm on an APS-C image sensor, the lens is set to expand users’ creative horizons, allowing them to capture images that are difficult to get with a standard kit lens or smartphone. 

These include: 

• Sharp, high-quality closeups of subjects that are further away 
• More pronounced shallow focus effects 
• Images with compressed perspectives 

The lens also has excellent close-up shooting capabilities: its 0.28x maximum magnification at the 210mm end (more than the EF-M55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM) enables semi-macro photography at a relatively short closest focusing distance of 0.73m. 

Besides having a native 4.5 stops of image stabilisation, RF-S55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM is capable of providing up to 7.0 stops’ image stabilisation through Coordinated Control IS when used with EOS R system cameras equipped with In-Body IS. 

Initial Thoughts and Views from short hands on media session

EOS R50

During the media preview session, I had a short hands on session with the Canon EOS R50. It’s very similar to the EOS M50 Mark II that I am familiar with. A compact and lightweight mirrorless camera packed with creative and intuitive features that can up your social media/vlogging game without feeling overwhelmed.

If you are planning to upgrade from smartphone or compact cameras, looking for your first entry-level mirrorless, you can check out the EOS R50, your first entry-level mirrorless camera for high quality vlogging.

RF-S55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM 

A compact and lightweight telephoto lens for APS-C EOS R camera users, ideal for travel and shooting subjects much further away.

Here are some sample photos that I shot with the Canon EOS R50 pre-production set during the media preview session. 

Take Note: 

• Photos shared above were shot with the pre-production set during the media preview session. 
• The photos shot with the Canon EOS R50 pre-production set are shot as it is (jpeg and straight out from the camera with no further edits) and it’s not meant to be a review of the Canon EOS R50..

The above points are just my initial thoughts and views from my short hands on media session with the Canon EOS R50 and new RF lenses. I hope to go deeper into this Canon EOS R50 APS-C mirrorless camera some time down the road when I get the opportunity to test it out for review and I would be able to share more of my in-depth experiences, thoughts and views of the Canon EOS R50.
