    DPP and Lens optimizer issue

    Hi Jay, I have the same problem with my 70-200 + x2. I can see in the EXIF the lens used, but no optimization in DPP. In fact, the lens data has to loaded in the body (using lens registration tool and body connected to the PC by USB). When I has a look, there was all my lenses but not the combo...

    Which do you prefer?

    On the left images, there are stare-cases on the diagonals, as if the image has been upscaled by bicubic. On the right images, there are a lot of moskito noise on the transitions, as if the image has been highly compressed. The color noise and drift is also far more important on the right...

    Canon MT-26EX-RT

    What is the interest for a macro flash to be RT compatible? It has to be closed to the subject, then closed to the lens, then a wired connection is not a problem... Or I missed something... May be RT compatible as a master?

    Why are sensors rectangular?

    Thanks a lot dadohead for this detailed explaination. Just a small correction: digital NTSC (720x480) pixels are not square, so even if the definition ratio is 1.5, the picture ratio is still 1.33.

    What were your first Canons? Analog and or digital?

    My first camera was a AE1-Program in 1983... Then the 30D in 2007. Wahoo, the AE1-program has worked during 24 years! And the 7DII since 2014

    7D built in flash as master showing up in pictures.

    I think that even in this mode, the built-in flash needs to fire to trigger the external flash at the correct sync. Otherwise, how would the external flash know when to fire? A pre-flash before exposure and a delay inside the external flash may be not enough accurate for a 1/250s exposure...

    New memory card for 80D and 7D Mark II

    http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/canon-7d-mark-ii/fastest-sd-cf-card-comparison/ There is no interest, even big drawback, to use UHSII cards in cameras that not support it. The best way with SD Card is to stay with the Sandisk Extrem Pro UHSI 95MBps. And yes, a low level format is needed every...

    Disintered Canon EOS 500N (Rebel G): any suggestions?

    Concerning ISO set-up on Film camera, you can adjust it with a reasonable difference compared to the film native ISO. With HP5 films, I already set my camera at 1600ISO. The result was so-so, quite grainly... But 2 things are mandatory: - Never change the ISO seting in the middle of the roll...

    AF problem at BIF 7DII

    I had similar problem with my 7DII. Only few images in a burst sequence of a moving subject were sharp in focus (using 70-200F4LIS). I sent the body with a memory card showing photo samples. They kept it about 2 weeks and sent it back to me. I don't know what they have done, no way to have the...

    SD CARDS UHS-|| and CF Cards

    Hi ronaldbyram, The 7DMarkII is not compatible wih UHSII. The card will work in UHSI and the performence may be very low compared to a lower cost optimized UHSI card. See this site for optimum cards used with 7DMarkII: http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/canon-7d-mark-ii/fastest-sd-cf-card-comparison/

    Besides Eye-Fi, what other options are there to transmit photos wirelessly?

    I'm using the app DSLR_Controller with a cheap TP-Link TL-MR3040 portable wireless router updated as indicated in their website: http://dslrcontroller.com/guide-wifi_mr3040.php I think, for no professional usage, it's a cheaper solution compared to Camranger.
