Canon t5i, 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8??

Hey guys im new to DSLRs. I recently bought my Canon Rebel t5i with the 18-135mm lens. Now i wanna upgrade a bit to take photos of family etc. I dont of to buy the 50mm f1.4 or the 85mm 1.8 please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try before you buy. Take your current lens and spend part of the day shooting it at only 50mm and then spend another part of the day shooting at only 85mm to see which focal length you prefer.
In my experience 50mm was stil too long for general indoor shooting on a crop camera like your T5i. I traded my 50mm 1.4 for an 85mm 1.8 and used it as a fast indoor sports lens and also for tight portraits.
The EF 85mm 1.8 has a much better build quality and faster AF. It is also better able to get you that shallow depth of field that many people want.

How to open Canon T5i Raw files in Photoshop? [was: need help]

I have purchased CS5 quit some time ago. I recently got a Canon T5I and CS5 doesn't recognize the files. But Light room does. So talked to Canon they say it is an Adobe issue. So downloaded the DNG converter 7.4 and it doesnt recognize the files either. So i thought i would up grade to the Photoshop CC but it wont install correctly either.

Recently purchased a Canon T5i and now my Elements 11 will not work. Just purchased this program before I updated my camera. Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

How do I get my Canon T5i to work with Photoshop Elements 11? Do I need to update? I just purchased 11 just before 12 came out so am not that anxious to purchase the new one.

Hi Kathy,
If you do have the MAC App from the Apple store, you can always download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your CR2 file to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 11.
DNG Converter 8.4

Alternatively, you could use the Canon software (DPP) to conver the raw files to TIF files and use them in PSE 11.

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video

Camera wont capture when Tethering Canon T5i in Lightroom 4.4. Tried with and without card.

I just unboxed a Canon T5i (700D). I've been shooting with a T2i for the past three years tethered to LR4 with no problem. Now with the T5i, i connect the camera, set up a new tether session and LR detects the camera in the pop up bar, but the sections for Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO are blank. The capture button is able to be clicked, but the camera does not respond. When the shutter on the camera is pressed, also no response. I have tried this with and without the SD card. I have used three usb cable and two different computers. I have checked for updates and my firmware is current. The camera is set to manual mode in the on position NOT the video position and I am tethering to a Windows 7 computer. Please help!

You will need LR5 for that camera to be supported for direct tethered capture. Or you can use the LR "Watched Folder" feature and use the EOS Utility or other tethering software packages. Here is a list of some options - http://www.tethertools.com/plugging-in/software/

Elements 10 won't recognize my RAW files from my new Canon T5i. What can I do?

Which operating system are you using?
Other than upgrading to photoshop elements 12, you could use the adobe dng converter 8.6 to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 10 should then open.

I am a novice. I have a few thousand iPhotos stored on Dropbox. But now I have a Canon T5i camera and want to get more involved in photography. I want to open a Lightroom and Photoshop account. I have a Windows desktop and an iPad. Will I have any compatibility issues with PC and Mac? Can I store my photos in Lightroom and eliminate my Dropbox account? Thanks.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. But you don't store images "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to wherever the images are on your system. You might like to watch a few videos that can help you understand how Lightroom works.

My raw files from Canon T5i isn't being recognized?

I am getting this message:
PS could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the install version of Camera Raw.
Presently I have Photoshop 5.1 and won't read my RAW files from Canon T5i, although read my earlier Canon Rebel. Do I need to update? Which will bum me out as I just spent a lot of money for the new camera. Is there a work around to getting at my RAW files? Thanks for all your support and suggestions.

Presently I have Photoshop 5.1 and won't read my RAW files from Canon T5i,
I assume you mean Photoshop CS5.1?

The T5i was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is only supported in CS6 and later. There is no version of Camera Raw for CS5.x which will read T5i Raw files.
Your options:
Pay to upgrade to CS6
Buy Photoshop Elements 13
Join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T5i Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in CS5.1

Canon FD 50mm 1.8 Lens Profile for Canon 60D

I've created a lens profile today for the Canon FD 50mm 1.8 on a Canon 60D using the Fotodiox adapter. I sent it to Adobe for posting publicly. If anyone would like to download it in the meantime you can find it here:
Please click this link
I might have messed it up. It's my first time creating a profile and seemed to work fine for me in Lightroom. Let me know if there are any improvements to be made. I used f5.6 since that seemed to be the sweet spot on the lens and the imager was about 5 feet from the chart.

JPG lens profiles are distinct from RAW lens profiles because cameras can fix things with the camera-produced JPGs that the lens profiles also fix and you can get double-corrections by using a raw lens profile with a jpg, but it depends on the capabilities and settings of the particular camera.
If you are sure your camera isn’t correcting geometric and vignetting issues with your JPGs, then you can hack the lens profile you downloaded to use it with JPGs, by editing the .lcp file with a text editor and change the flag indicating it is for raw files from True to False. I forget what this flag is called, exactly, but it is obvious and near the top of the files.
On Windows, the lens profiles are downloaded to:
C:\Users\--username--\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
AppData is a hidden or system folder so you’ll need to unhide such folders in the folder options in Explorer or just type in the path an hit Enter in the address area of Explorer.

Cs5 not reading raw from canon t5i

CS5 is not reading my raw files from a new camera Canon T5i. I read in a forum or somewhere to download camera raw 7.4 update. I did and installed, but it's still not reading my raw files. I also have lightroom 4, so I updated lightroom 4 and that does read them. My CS5 appears up to date saying updated and no new updates available and again, downloaded camera raw 7.4 with no success. But I prefer to do much of my processing in CS5. Can anyone please help. Thanks so much~Jennifer

Thanks so much. I purchased and installed the upgrade to CS6 via download, but it still doesn't seem to read the raw. I have not yet unistalled CS5, I thought the one would override the other, but I must have to manually unistall CS5. Do I need to do that before CS6 works correctly? I also did a manual update for Camera Raw and it apparently didn't find any updates. I also extrcted that update 7.4 update DNG converter, but perhaps I don't quite understand the digital negative files, but when I asked it to search my image folders, it also said files not found. Any additonal help would be much appreciated. Thanks again!~Jennifer

My canon T5i raw photos won't load into PS CS4 on my Mac with Yosemite

I Recently got a new Canon T5i. I also had to get a new hard drive for my Mac, it came with Yosemeti on it. I am unable to open RAW photos in my PS CS4. I downloaded the 7.4 update but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, photoshop cs4 can only use up to camera raw 5.7, so you can use the 8.7 dng converter to convert the canon T5i files to dng copies which photoshop cs4 should then open.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

Hi,
I created a profile for my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, uploaded it here: http://ul.to/copxok
Maybe someone finds it useful.

Hi, could you clarify what camera body you used to make this profile.
The main reason I ask is, this is an EF lens that is mountable on full frame as well as APS cameras.
The distortion and vignetting will be quite different in the two use cases.

Canon T5i - How would I turn continuous AF in movie mode?

Canon T5i - How would I turn continuous AF in movie mode? My current settings require me to push the shutter button to adjust focus. I can also push the video screen to adjust the focus point, but then I still have to push the shutter button. Thanks!

See page 196 of the manual and select Enable.
