Software & Accessories / Re: FoCal Pro Beta for 5D MK III AFMA

« on: April 11, 2012, 05:33:38 PM »

I purchased the Plus version yesterday and tried to use it with my new 5D Mk3 but it says the camera is unsupported.  EOS Utility can successfully remotely control the camera to take shots.  Focal appears to "see" the camera because it shows up in the GUI as a 5d mk3, but it says "unsupported" and I can't do anything beyond that with Focal.  Yes I closed Canon EOS utility and had the camera tethered before launching Focal.

Canon 5D Mk3 w/24-105 kit lens
Latest Focal version
Windows 7 64-bit

I sent Reikan an e-mail and am eagerly awaiting a response (unless one of you have some suggestions).  Any ideas?

Here's a shot of a 5D3 with an Eye-Fi card in Direct Connect mode sending pix to my old iPad.

Lightroom is a standalone product.  You can read all about it at www.adobe.com.

Lightroom 4.1 RC is already available from labs.adobe.com and supports the mark 3.

Works fine too.  Tried it this week-end and seem to work fine with mkIII files...

Is Lightroom a stand alone product, or is it an add-on for Adobe Photoshop? What is the difference between the two products?

Thanks,

C

I leave my lens attached.  This reduces the amount of time that the camera innards are exposed to the dusty environment.

I use it when performing macro shots from a tripod to get the absolute sharpest photo possible.

Did you format the cards in-camera per the User Manual instructions?

I don't agree with Jeff's "almost silent" comment.  It's more like "not as loud".  Don't get me wrong, it's a great feature but to call it "Silent" mode is very misleading.

I got an Eye-fi card to use in my to-be-delivered-today 5D Mk3 kit but I couldn't wait to try it out so I put it in my Rebel T1i and used the Direct Connect mode to stream photos directly to the iPad.  I even powered off my wireless router to verify that I can stream directly to iPad regardless of where I am.  It works great!  About 7 seconds to stream a photo.  I was impressed with the product.

Took a quick look at the user manual.  Looks like it has to be connected to a computer to transfer any files to it.
