EOS Bodies / New 5D3 firmware but now no Focus point grouping option.

« on: May 02, 2013, 02:15:18 AM »

So I updated my 5D3 with the new firmware and now I can't seem to select any focus point groupings other then: "Single-point AF.  I can move the Single-point AF around but I can only select the "Single-point AF" ( the little soft cornered square).  I have poured over pages 72-73 of the manual but nothin'

Am I the only one?

This helped me a lot. Great demo and explanation. 

I guess I don't know how to post the link but copy and paste this:  philipbloom.net/?p=24586

He does other video comparisons between: 5D3, D800, D4.  Yet other video reviews of 1DX also 1DC both way out of my price range but also worth a look.

I liked seeing what other similar cameras do - you get an idea of the range of what to expect.

Also known as "how good is your montior"? 

I was wondering about that.  I normally have my monitor set to Adobe RGB, cuz' someone told me to-can't remember why.  But I changed it to sRGB because the color looked more saturated.  I don't have the patience to switch it back and try again

I think this is an "In a Pinch" solution.
It worked for my 7d and a 10-22mm I had. But I have to agree Clean them proper when you get home.

When did yours show up?  I ordered almost a month ago and mine still isn't here.

I got mine on about Jan 5th.  But I preordered in December.

« on: January 03, 2013, 06:35:44 PM »

Same boat.  Strange thing is that for a while mine would disappear intermittently too but now it stays. I think its some combo of info settings before you press rec-but I can't figure out what. 

Here's to hoping Canon includes this in the April firmware update.
