<p>A new firmware update is available for the EOS-1D C. Firmware Version 1.3.x adds new functionality incorporating the following features and modifications:</p>
<p><b>Lens aberration correction with EF Cinema Lenses:</b> Communication between Canon EF Cinema lenses and Canon cameras has had a few effects on the operation of the EOS-1D C. The following features are now available as menu options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Peripheral Illumination Correction: This feature maintains even brightness from corner to corner of an image. This will virtually eliminate vignetting and any other unevenness of light across the image.</li>
<li>Chromatic Aberration Correction: This feature reduces color fringing in areas of an image with high contrast color. It reduces color bleeding, which is easily noticeable at edges and degrades perceived image quality.</li>
<li>In addition, communication between the lens and camera body will allow the F-stop to now be seen on the viewfinder. Focus position and F-stop will also now be recorded by the camera.</li>
<li>Flicker caused by manual aperture adjustment has been reduced with this update, this could cause slight underexposure which may result in exposure compensation in some cases.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Sound recording with Line input:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>After requests from users in the field, audio recording through a mini plug (3.5mm) connected to the external microphone terminal is now supported. This will allow for the recording of audio sources other than microphones, such as mobile devices or audio players. The standard input level is -8 dBV and can reach an input signal of up to +6 dBV. Sound recording levels are adjustable at 64 sound-recording levels.</li>
</ul>
<p>Service support start date is anticipated mid-October 2013. For information regarding the EOS-1D C firmware update (which must be performed by a Canon Factory Service center) please contact Canon Cinema EOS Support at <b>1-855-CINE-EOS</b> (246-3367).</p>

Yep, I'm sure this will be a problem with any tool that magnifies light (damn you physics!), but I'd rather fry my crappy old 430EX than my 300 2.8 II or 5DIII!RGF said:mackguyver said:Anything that won't burn holes in my gear (like the Better Beamer) would be nice![]()
If the device will focus the light from the flash to the subject it will also focus the light from the sun to your flash
Sorry, unless you have a 1 way mirror, you risk focusing the sun.
Of course you could always make sure that you are focussed in the direction of the sun.
AJ said:Those settings sound about right to me.helpful said:Nailed both aperture and ISO on my first guess... f/4 and 12,800.
Of course, there's just my word for that fact, but I felt pretty good so I posted this worthless post anyway. Fun challenge!
To the OP: be careful with the 50/1.2 Narrow DOF can be nice for video with actors who move carefully with pre-planned motion. But in the chaos of a pub crawl, you can end up with nothing but blur, giving your viewers a headache. I'd be on the safe side - stop down.
Rienzphotoz said:Hi chas113, I believe you've already made up your mind to go with the body upgrade ... 5D MK III is a fantastic camera I'm sure you will see a far much snappier performance in the way your f/4 lenses work on 5D MK III over the 5D MK II.
5D MK III is my first full frame DSLR as I upgraded it from 7D ... but I took a different approach i.e. upgraded my f/4 lenses to f/2.8 lenses before upgrading to 5D MK III ... no "scientific" approach, other than wanting to invest in f/2.8 zooms (16-35, 24-70 & 70-200) before I made the body upgrade, it took several years but I eventually did it.
Good luck with your upgrade ... may it serve you well.

The higher dynamic range of the Nikon camera's is what enables them to pull so much detail when they enhance their pictures. :![]()

Well I thought it was funny.
The magic they can do with photographs is only surpassed by the speed with which they can do DNA tests.

I would say that this person got a defective lens. Recommendation is to bring it back and exchange it.
..only that he has done that 3(!) times already...

RX1 & RX 100 II always amazed me...body size and IQ.
Just incase anyone interested to see the remaining photos:

1st picture was taken this morning, around 5:30AM California time, indoor,with little light at 3200ISO. The remaining photos were taken this afternoon with decent lighting, next to patio door. All jpeg files. Copied straight from camera - zero PP.
The RX100 II is a great small camera for this type of work. It fits in jean and shirt pocket well. It delivers great IQ, even in JPEG. I carry this camera to work everyday.
Ohhh...almost forgot, please excuse my crappy composition![]()

seasamshoot said:Thanks for all the advice.
How valuable is the IS on the Mark I? And is the F4 IS good for indoor portraits on a crop camera? Logic would suggest that it would basically be giving me a f5.6 depth of field wide open on the 70D. is that correct?
Thanks again.
Northstar said:I'm curious, did you try the 9 point expansion or the 5 point before exclusively going to center point only? And if so, are your results better now?
Thanks for this one - I had never seen it. Now I just need to remember my German - I grew up there, but haven't spoken German in over 30 yearsyablonsky said:there is a good German site http://www.traumflieger.de/objektivberater/index_canon.php
