Is higher ISO better?

Choosing a higher ISO setting is best when the light is low or you are not able to make a long exposure. Higher ISO setting means your camera’s sensor is more responsive to light, so it needs less light to reach the sensor to create a well-exposed photograph.

What does soft focus look like?

A soft focus lens deliberately introduces spherical aberration in order to give the appearance of blurring the image while retaining sharp edges; it is not the same as an out-of-focus image, and the effect cannot be achieved simply by defocusing a sharp lens.

In other words, the faster the shutter speed the easier it is to photograph the subject without blur and “freeze” motion and the smaller the effects of camera shake. In contrast, slower shutter speeds are suited to suggesting the motion, such as that of flowing water or other moving subjects.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Because EF-S lenses protrude deeper into the mirror box than EF lenses, and yet have the exact same distance between the throat and the focal plane, such an adapter must include corrective optics to adjust the back focal distance so that the lens focuses properly at infinity.

What is EF and EFS lens?

Canon EF lenses are designed to work with full frame and APS-C DSLRs from Canon.They were designed to cover a 35mm film frame.
