情態副詞

The Canon 5D Mark II was truly a revolutionary camera.

佳能 5D Mark II 確實是一款革命性的相機。

Now, I know this word is being thrown out a lot these days, but trust me, it was a revolutionary camera.

現在，我知道這個詞最近被經常掛在嘴邊，但相信我，這是一款革命性的相機。

Came out in 2008 and it was the first DSLR to film full HD 1080p video.

它於 2008 年問世，是首款拍攝全高清 1080p 視頻的數碼單反相機。

It enabled photojournalists, photographers and newcomers to start making videos.

它使攝影記者、攝影師和新手能夠開始製作視頻。

It let filmmakers achieve that filmic look in a relatively small and inexpensive body.

它能讓電影製作者在一個相對小巧和廉價的機身中實現膠片效果。

Everyone was talking about how it was used to film some parts of House, the TV show.

每個人都在談論它是如何被用來拍攝電視劇《豪斯》的某些部分的。

Vincent Laforet's short film was a viral success, showcasing what this camera can do.

Vincent Laforet 的短片在病毒式傳播中大獲成功，展示了這款相機的功能。

It was basically shot on iPhone before shot on iPhone.

基本上是先用 iPhone 拍攝，再用 iPhone 拍攝。

But it wasn't Canon's marketing strategy that did that.

但這並不是佳能的營銷策略造成的。

It was the community that embraced this new tech.

In fact, it was so well-received, it took Canon by surprise.

事實上，它受到了如此廣泛的歡迎，令佳能公司措手不及。

It even convinced the company to spin off specialized cinema line of cameras.

它甚至說服公司分拆出專門的電影攝影機系列。

The 5D Mark II changed industries and changed my life too.

5D Mark II 改變了行業，也改變了我的生活。

It was my second professional camera and I feel like I owe a lot to it.

這是我的第二臺專業相機，我覺得我欠它很多。

Some of my favorite photos were taken on the 5D line.

我最喜歡的一些照片就是用 5D 系列拍攝的。

I filmed some of my first YouTube videos with it, which I'm too embarrassed to show you here.

我用它拍攝了我在 YouTube 上的第一批視頻，不好意思在這裡給你們看。

I used the Mark III to take photos of sitting president and I took thousands of product photos for The Verge with the Mark III, the Mark IV, even Mark II as a few years ago.

我曾用 Mark III 為在任總統拍照，幾年前還用 Mark III、Mark IV 甚至 Mark II 為 The Verge 拍攝了數千張產品照片。

This camera line truly holds a special place in my heart.

這個相機系列在我心中確實佔有特殊的地位。

And since then, the 5D line became the R5 line, a mirrorless equivalent.

此後，5D 系列變成了 R5 系列，相當於無反相機。

And today, in my hands, I'm holding the spiritual successor to the 5D, the R5 Mark II.

今天，我手中拿著的是 5D 的精神繼承者 R5 Mark II。

But can this camera have the same cultural impact as the revolutionary 5D Mark II?

但是，這款相機能像革命性的 5D Mark II 一樣產生文化影響嗎？

This camera is a long-awaited successor to the R5.

這款相機是 R5 期待已久的繼任者。

An R5 is the camera which marked a new age for Canon.

R5 相機標誌著佳能進入了一個新時代。

And the Mark II comes with some new ideas and a familiar look and feel.

Mark II 既有一些新的理念，也有熟悉的外觀和感覺。

The R5 Mark II can film internally in 8K.

It has a stacked sensor, 45 megapixel photos, eye-controlled autofocus.

它有一個堆疊式傳感器，4 500 萬像素照片，眼控自動對焦。

It has 8.5 stops of IBIS, 30 frames of continuous shooting, and so on.

它具有 8.5 檔 IBIS、30 幅連拍等功能。

It is an impressive camera with impressive specs.

這是一款令人印象深刻的相機，其規格令人印象深刻。

But what made me enjoy using it wasn't all about the specs.

但讓我喜歡使用它的原因並不完全在於它的規格。

It's been out for a few months and there are many great reviews out there.

它已經上市幾個月了，有很多好評。

Instead, I want to try something new here.

相反，我想在這裡嘗試一些新東西。

I will pick three of my favorite photos that I've taken with this camera and tell you what each photo taught me about the R5 Mark II.

我將從用這臺相機拍攝的照片中挑選三張我最喜歡的照片，並告訴大家每張照片都讓我對 R5 Mark II 有了哪些瞭解。

So personally and professionally, I switched to a PSC sensor system for a number of reasons.

是以，從個人和專業角度考慮，我出於多種原因改用了 PSC 傳感器系統。

Smaller bodies, smaller lens, lighter gear, good enough quality for what I need.

更小的機身、更小的鏡頭、更輕的裝備，但品質足以滿足我的需求。

But astrophotography is one area where I find that system lacking.

但天體攝影是我發現該系統不足的一個領域。

So here are some photos taken with my various Fuji cameras over the last few years.

下面是我在過去幾年中用各種富士相機拍攝的一些照片。

它們在社交媒體上看起來會很棒。

But once you start pixel peeping and processing these photos, you start to see its limitations.

但是，一旦你開始像素偷窺並處理這些照片，你就會發現它的侷限性。

Going back to full frame sensor made me realize how much I missed it.

重新使用全畫幅傳感器讓我意識到我是多麼懷念它。

This is my first photo I wanted to highlight.

這是我想重點介紹的第一張照片。

A cold, quiet, windless night on top of a winding road overlooking the Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe.

一個寒冷、寧靜、無風的夜晚，在一條蜿蜒的公路頂端，俯瞰太浩湖的翡翠灣。

Soon enough after taking this photo, I was very okay with the extra weight of the camera and the lenses.

拍完這張照片後，我很快就適應了相機和鏡頭的額外重量。

In fact, that argument isn't even as strong as it was a few years ago.

事實上，這種說法甚至沒有幾年前那麼有力了。

The difference in weight aren't that big. 660 grams for the Fuji X-H2S compared to the R5 740 grams for the body alone.

重量差距並不大。富士 X-H2S 660 克，而 R5 僅機身就有 740 克。

But ever since that first photo, I just kept going out every night to keep taking more and more astrophotos.

但自從拍了第一張照片後，我每天晚上都會出去拍更多的天體照片。

A man taking his cigarette break on a rainy, cold night, exhaling smoke out of his nostrils.

一個男人在寒冷的雨夜抽菸休息，從鼻孔中吐出煙霧。

And here I want to talk about this camera's autofocus system.

在這裡，我想談談這款相機的自動對焦系統。

But from just my everyday experience and using many, many cameras, I still find it just a bit less accurate than what I get with a Sony camera, specifically when it comes to video.

但就我日常使用許多相機的經驗來看，我還是覺得它比索尼相機的精確度要低一些，尤其是在視頻方面。

This was also evident in some more challenging environments, like the silhouette of a person taking photos of a sunset.

這在一些更具挑戰性的環境中也很明顯，比如拍攝日落的人影。

It just kept drifting in and out and hunting focus more than the Sony would.

與索尼相比，它只是不停地偏移和對焦。

When it comes to photos, I did find the system extremely reliable.

說到照片，我確實發現該系統非常可靠。

There weren't many situations where the autofocus stopped me from getting my shot, including this photo.

自動對焦阻止我拍攝的情況並不多，包括這張照片。

I kept my camera down near my hip, kind of sideways, had subject detection turned on, I snapped a few photos, hoping my framing was correct and that the autofocus would do its job.

我把相機放在臀部附近，側著身子，打開了主體檢測功能，拍了幾張照片，希望取景正確，自動對焦能夠發揮作用。

The only thing I do wish was better is this eye-tracked autofocus.

我唯一希望改進的是眼動自動對焦功能。

Basically, how it works is, when you're using the electronic viewfinder, the camera will focus wherever your eye is looking at in the frame.

基本上，它的工作原理是，當你使用電子取景器時，相機會對焦你眼睛所看到的畫面。

I absolutely love this idea in theory, but in practice, it just wasn't as reliable as I was hoping it would be.

從理論上講，我絕對喜歡這個想法，但在實踐中，它並不像我希望的那樣可靠。

Although I can't wait to see this stuff improve, because those kind of features are really mind-blowing.

雖然我迫不及待地想看到這些功能的改進，因為這些功能實在是太震撼了。

And lastly, for my third favorite photo, I'm picking this one of the Golden Gate Bridge.

最後，我最喜歡的第三張照片是金門大橋。

I was hoping for a bit more of that famous fog rolling through, but sometimes you just have to work with what you get.

我本來希望能有更多著名的霧氣飄過，但有時你只能將就。

Small, tiny cloud passing over the bridge.

Similarly to my first photo, it is a nice reminder of how nice and crisp full-frame photos are.

與我的第一張照片類似，這張照片很好地提醒我們，全畫幅照片是多麼漂亮和清晰。

The 45 megapixel photos from a stacked sensor gave truly beautiful results, even in non-landscape photos.

疊加傳感器產生的 4 500 萬像素照片效果非常漂亮，即使是非風景照片也是如此。

And another side effect of moving back to the Canon system for the time being is that I rediscovered my love for post-processing images.

暫時轉回佳能系統的另一個副作用是，我重新發現了自己對影像後期處理的熱愛。

I've gotten a little bit lazy lately, since all my Fuji's photos are just mostly unedited.

我最近變得有點懶，因為我所有富士相機的照片基本上都是未經編輯的。

Ultimately, we have so many options in various cameras nowadays that a choice of which camera to use often comes down to smaller things like ecosystem, reliability, form factor, batteries, and just picking the right tools for the job.

歸根結底，如今我們在各種相機上有如此多的選擇，以至於在選擇使用哪種相機時，往往會考慮到生態系統、可靠性、外形尺寸、電池等較小的因素，以及選擇適合工作的工具。

For beautiful landscapes, this camera did fantastically well.

對於美麗的風景，這款相機的表現非常出色。

I set up this question at the top and I already knew the answer for it.

我把這個問題放在最前面，我已經知道答案了。

I don't think the R5 Mark II will have the same cultural impact as the 5D Mark II.

我不認為 R5 Mark II 會產生與 5D Mark II 相同的文化影響。

You can argue that there's only one camera with similar impact since 2008, and that was the iPhone.

你可以說，自 2008 年以來，只有一款相機具有類似的影響力，那就是 iPhone。

Or any smartphone camera, but let's be real, it's mostly the iPhone.

或者任何智能手機攝像頭，但實事求是地說，主要還是 iPhone。

But using the R5, just like the 5D, still felt like riding a bike.

但使用 R5，就像使用 5D 一樣，感覺就像在騎自行車。

一輛非常現代化的改裝自行車。

And it's also super fun to look at these two cameras and compare them and see how the world, our needs, and our culture has changed in 16 years since.

此外，將這兩款相機進行對比，看看 16 年來世界、我們的需求和文化發生了怎樣的變化，也是一件非常有趣的事情。

The R5 now has 5,850 autofocus points with subject detection versus only 9 in 2008 without any subject detection.

現在，R5 有 5,850 個帶主體檢測的自動對焦點，而 2008 年只有 9 個沒有主體檢測。

Autofocus became such a big deal for companies to work on.

自動對焦已成為公司的一項重要工作。

This camera now takes 30 photos in a second versus 3.9 back in the day.

這款相機現在一秒鐘能拍 30 張照片，而以前只能拍 3.9 張。

It also has a flippy screen because we're all kind of content creators now making blogs, so we have to film ourselves.

它還有一個可翻轉的螢幕，因為我們現在都是製作博客的內容創作者，所以我們必須拍攝自己。
