EOS Bodies - For Stills / How do I set spot AF only on 5d3?

« on: April 18, 2012, 04:47:11 PM »

Im curious as to how I use spot AF on the 5d3? I went to the menu and took the check mark off everything but 'spot AF' and the one next to it. But for some reason the one next to it I can't uncheck. So when I go to select an AF point when shooting, instead of selecting a small dot, Im only allowed to select one of the squares.

Seems as though everyone is enjoying their new equipment. Thats a good thing to hear. For the user who asked what I ordered, I got the body only.
Whats funny is, I've never made money from my photography, but I was just asked to shoot a few music videos(cam hasn't arrived just yet) Pay=1300

So theres a little over a 3rd of my cost of the camera :-)
Hopefully I can get the rest recouped sooner than later lol

Adorama. They are shipping out almost immediately on the body only. Im not sure of the kit. You should check with them. You'd probably get it this week if you ordered by tomorrow.

EOS Bodies / Re: When will the next 5d mark iii batch be shipped?

Cancel your order and purchase it from Adorama, this is my first time using them, I ordered on saturday and it was shipped today. It would have been shipped the day I ordered had it not been for their holiday... If you order it from them tomorrow, you'll more than likely see it before the week is over.

Finally purchased this 3500 dollar camera from Adorama friday. Says it will ship on monday and I should receive it by Thursday at the latest. Hopefully it's a purchase that I won't regret. I dont get paid for photography but I've found relief in it. Maybe one day I can get paid from another passion of mine. Everyone got the 'soft' issues worked out right? Hopefully I have no issues with mine

Im located in Illinois, and would NOT like to pay taxes on this item. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

They seem like a sneaky company. If you search for the 5d3 body only you will only find one result. It is priced at a little under 3400. So I called and asked about it and he gave me a code to search for body only and it was 3700. I asked the difference between the one he showed me and the one that pops up in the search and the 3400 dollar version is an import. I didn't clearly see it say that on the website. So if anyone is concerned, I would NOT get the 3400 dollar body as it does NOT come with a manufacture warranty.

EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: Is Continous Autofocus a big deal for those who shoot video

« on: March 27, 2012, 09:06:12 PM »

I dont see why autofocus is such a big deal when these movie studios spending 100,000+ on cameras are still MANUALLY pulling focus. Professional studios don't use auto focus. People shouldn't rely on the software, rely on the trained eye instead.
