Nice info. Im starting to use a Sony a6600 with the Sony 90mm macro…in the way of use the settings you recomend…when preparing for shooting intraoral…the screen of the camera gets too dark…not letting me to focus…especially when using f22. While looking at your videos…i could see that your preview screen of your sony a6400 was very clear.
I love you videos and thats how i learned dental photography ♥️ but may i ask something.... In my sony alpha 6500 i cant bring my iso tp a 100 the lowest is 800 and wne i choose 100 it send a message on the screen saying This operation or setting not available as follows and it gives u 2 options gamma and s-Log3 What am i supposed to do 😅😅
Thanks for those information filled video! I had a question, I have a canon 700D, it has an inbuilt flash that pops up when I chose Flash mode on, is that enough for dental photography as a beginner or do I get extra flashes to along with it? TIA xx
my work place is using a stock Sony camera, meaning no ring or twin flash. its just the default flash at the top of the camera. Do i just continue applying the same flash settings?
Hi there! This might be a dumb question, but I have adjusted our Canon r6 Mark ii camera to these exact settings and the ISO seems to be too low for our camera to capture anything. When viewing through either the viewfinder or the screen, everything is extremely dark, to the point I can barely see anything at all, even when pointing at a bright light. We have the exact same lens/twin flash that you had recommended. Thanks in advance for any help!
If it's too dark when trying to take the photo when looking through the viewfinder or the screen I recommend you turn off "live view display". On the back of the camera, you should find a button with a camera icon and a small red dot. This is the Live View button. Press it to turn off live view. Let me know if that helps 👌🏼
I love you. You held my hand through stormy weather, you were there when I was afraid. You are the dad I never had. Know that when I die all my leftover sectional matrix bands will be left to you
Great videos ! Is there a diffuser that can be used for the ring flash? I currently have the Canon 40D with a ring flash and 100mm macro lens. I was thinking of upgrading the body to the 77D.. in case I want to step up to using wireless speedlites for softboxes and also need wifi functionality. Would you recommend this body?
When shooting flash, speed has no impact on brightness unless you're playing outside under a tree doing portrait. When indoors, like in the dentist chair or at home, sync speed only impacts fill light. We're certainly not wanting "fill" light which very often is not on the same colour wavelength. Incoherent and not true for macro unless there's a nice landscape you want sunlight to come in from. Personally, I don't think there's such a thing in my mouth, but I could be wrong who knows. Maybe there's a magical forest up down there inside I never noticed. That explanation was ok if you were teaching someone about general photography. Not medical macro. Also, with the length of the macro lens you positively do not want to go below 1/250th of a second, as the slightest bit of imperceptible shake from the camera holder will render un-scientific results. Nice clip though, everything else is great. There's always that one thing you slip on in two-on-two videos watched today :) Thanks again though, this helps better understand dentist language as I will be giving a private class. I wanted to "speak their language" and adapt to mine :p
Amazing video. I have a question. You have recommended canon speedlite 270ex ii in your blog. But that one doesn't have in built screen to change mode to Manual as shown in your video at 6:25. Please help with that. Thank
The canon speedlite settings can be changed via your camera if your camera has wireless flash capabilities. If your camera doesn't have wireless flash capabilities then you need to buy a canon flash trigger and control the flash settings with that. Hope that helps 🙌🏽
@@TwoDentists thank you for your reply. does canon 600d have that wireless flash features? I have seen few CZcams video showing some kind of wireless feature but not sure thats the one we need to connect speed lite.
I want to buy camera , but not sure which better for orthodont, canon 850d or 250d or nikon 5600, which one do you recommend ?lens as you explained sir have to buy without auto focus like 100mm 2.8 canon usm ? (Is usm) no need for dental photos? And flash twin godox mf12 , thank you .
Hello! Have a look at our vlog post for our recommendations. The mf12 flash is great! www.twodentists.com/dental-photography-equipment-ultimate-guide-2021/
would you recommend buying a plain Nikon D3500 for dental photography if i cannot get lens or flashes, at least right now? or should i stick to mobile camera instead?
That flash is not suitable for dental photography. You can only get portrait shots with that. Have a look at our video on dental photography equipment: czcams.com/video/-YG_xCA7Fww/video.html
Hey, yeah if it doesn’t go any faster than that (about 1/125 or 1/160 etc) the shutter will remain open for too long and let in A LOT of light, making your image always look over exposed. If your set up really doesn’t let you increase the shutter speed, I’d try to play around with the flash settings (make it weaker), and reduce the aperture (increase the F-stop number) to darken the image. I don’t think that will work though to be honest and you might need to look into changing your set up. Hope that helps
7:37 Wrong. When taking a flash photo, the shutter speed does not affect the brightness. This means that it doesn't matter if the shutter speed is 1/200 or 1/125 or 1/60 sec. During flash photography, we can change the lighting intensity by changing the aperture, changing the flash power or distance, and changing the ISO value. Not with the shutter speed.
I hope you can agree if you have set your iso, aperture and manual flash settings, changing the shutter speed WILL change the brightness as the shutter is open for longer/shorter allowing more or less light to be taken in by the sensor
@@TwoDentists Incorrectly. What you said only applies when you are shooting in ambient light. When shooting with flash the only light the sensor will register at aperture 22 , ISO 100 and shutter speed 1/200 will be the flash light. The flash lasts 1/10000 sec which is about 50 times faster than the shutter speed and it doesn't matter if the shutter speed is 1/200, 1/125 or 1/60 sec. I think this explanation will help you realize that you were wrong. In any case, you can check what I wrote you with a educated photographer and then we can continue the discussion. Best regards !
Thank you for your reply! And you may be correct as you are a professional photographer but when I have iso 100, f22, flash at 1/2 power and then I change my shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/25, the photo is brighter :)
@@TwoDentists Of course, increasing the time of shutter speed will result in greater brightness, which I already wrote about, but then other problems arise. The first problem is that there will be mixing of the ambient light with the flash light. This means that you will not be able to achieve an equal white balance. The light quality of the flash is at the level of natural daylight, but the quality of the light in the room is not. Another, even more important problem is the shutter speed of 1/25 sec. This is the speed at which you cannot shoot "handheld" because the shot will be blurry due to hand shake. If you are taking pictures with a full frame camera with a 100 mm focal length lens, the shutter speed should not be longer than 1/125 sec. If you use the same lens to photograph with a camera with a crop sensor, ( for instance crop factor 1.5 ) the shutter speed should not be longer than 1/160 sec. That's the rule. ( shutter speed = 1/ focal lenght ) Greeting !

You will definitely need to buy extra flashes as the flash on top is not strong enough:)
Thanks for replying :D @@TwoDentists

Unfortunately the flash on top of the camera is not good enough and I recommend you purchase a ring flash or twin flash with a macro lens 🙏🏼

Hands down one of the best comments we've ever received hahaha!
do you have the settings for a sony alfa 7 with a godox lixlite flash,, would it be possible to im me ??
Any chance you have settings for the Sony A7iii, using a the FE 2.8/90 Macro G OSS lens, please and thank you!
yeah, I explain all the settings in this video, it will be similar to the settings for the A6400: czcams.com/video/CrdeiiXNpxY/video.html

check out www.macrodiffuser.com and www.flashkap.com for ring flash diffusers. And the 77d is a fantastic body with wireless flash capabilities!
I want small and fast focus set up to capture my implant surgeries can you advise me, is compact cameras or action cameras good?
Do you mean for photos or videos?
Thank you
