Canon EOS 5D was unveiled on 22 August 2005. It is a 12.8-megapixel digital single-lens reflex body. It is priced just above the EOS 20D and below the EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II. It accepts EF M lens mount lenses. Among its most notable features are Dual Pixel CMOS AF and High Density Reticular AF systems.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF system
Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus is Canon's new technology. Dual Pixel CMOS is a technology that uses two independent readouts to each pixel in order to process millions and produce a smooth focus effect. Phase-detection AF is great for use through the eye level viewfinder, but Dual Pixel CMOS AF takes it to a whole new level. This AF system is capable of three things:
High Density Reticular Air AF system
Dual-line sensors are used for all AF points of the 61-point high density reticular AF system. This ensures superior focus performance in all situations. The camera will automatically adjust focus to match the light source and determine whether the subject's in focus. This technology also applies to Single Point AF or Single Point Spot.
24-105 mm lens
The Canon 5D Mark IV is a top-end camera that features a 24-105mm lens and exceptional low-light performance. The powerful 4K video and still photography camera comes with a brand new 30.4 MP full-frame sensor CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6+ image processing. The combination of these three aspects yields photos with excellent balance between fine detail and resolution, sensitivity, and low-light performance.
Rolling shutter
Although it is not new technology, the Canon 5D rolling shutter was rumored for quite some time. It is the same technology used in the Canon F55 camera, making it an excellent upgrade for 5D. The rolling shutter is one of those great features that would make a camera more fun to use and much more affordable than previous models. Canon has been known for not being innovative in recent years. However, this new technology is worth looking at.
4K video recording
The new Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR has an impressive list of new features, including 4K video recording. The new 30.4 megapixel dual-pixel sensor of the Canon 5D Mark IV increases the size to 6720 x 4880 pixels. Dual-pixel sensors make great videography tools because they allow you to capture two images simultaneously using slightly different focus points. The two images can be merged in post-processing.

How To
How to Take Pictures of Yourself

But now, you want to capture something more. It's easy for people to forget how fun it is to take photos. These are some tips that will help you get started.

Be sure to have sufficient light. The best time to shoot portraits is early morning or late afternoon. If you use flash, make sure there is no direct sunlight shining into your face. It will wash out details. Also, avoid taking photos at midday. Too many shadows will result.

Make close-ups. Closeups can be very useful for showing detail. But they can look fake unless you've got a good eye. Pay close attention to people's eyes and noses. Are you noticing anything odd? Are glasses worn by someone? Are there freckles on the nose of someone wearing glasses? These things add depth to a person's appearance.
