Your full frame journey begins with the Z 5. Simple yet sophisticated, compact yet powerful, the Z 5 is built to
grow with you. It’s everything you’d expect from a full frame mirrorless camera —intense detail, expansive views,
brilliant low light capabilities, 4K video and more—plus all the innovative tools you need to push the limits of your
creativity.

Key Features:

  • Intensively detailed 24MP full frame images and 4K UHD videos.
  • VR image stabilization built-in for sharp, stabilized photos and videos.
  • Superb 273 point autofocus system that can focus near the edges, detect and follow eyes (people, cats
    and dogs) and track subjects.
  • Creative features built-in, including timelapse, multiple exposure, creative picture controls and focus
    shift photography.
  • Seamless connectivity between Z 5 and a compatible smartphone, tablet or PC for transferring images
    or controlling the camera remotely (with live image preview for photos and videos).
  • Dual SD card slots.

Camera Tips from a BCC Pro: Couples Portraits

Have you been struggling posing Couples? Try this technique!

Have you been struggling posing couples? Try this technique! When you pose a couple. You should always tell them to get in nice and close to each other. But when doing this most of the time, they almost always never get close enough to look “close”. There is usually always a little gap in between them where her head is not fully resting on his shoulder. Or there is a gap when their heads should be touching and so forth. I am sure if you go and look through your photos of past shoots you can find a few photos where you wished they were closer together. Luckily I have a quick fix for those issues! Next time you are posing a couple. Take a photo after you tell them to “get closer, get closer” and they move just a few inches but you still see a gap. Then take your camera right over to them and show them the gap on the back of your LCD monitor. Once they see the gap and realize how big the gap actually is when they thought they were already super close. They will instantly get in real close to one another and it literally will makes the entire shot for you. I can’t tell you how many times I have done this over and over and it always works fantastic. Now go out and give it a try! Let us see your images! We would love to see.

Till next time…

All my best,
