Canon Asia’s Snapshot site posted a helpful tutorial about how to best capture natural looking landscapes with the Canon EOS 80D.
The article discusses three techniques for capturing landscapes:
- Manually tweak the colour temperature to enhance the hue of the setting sun
- Carry out Live View shooting and use Magnification MF for a more accurate focus on flowers
- Use the Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) function when shooting scenes where it is difficult to determine the exposure
It won’t take much of your time and may give you some hints you didn’t know so far. The tips apply to other Canon DSLRs and cameras too.
According to DxOMark, the Canon EOS 80D features Canon’s best performing APS-C sensor.
