    Canon ISO Multiples of 160 - 1Dx3

    In the past, Canon DSLR's have performed better in video mode with ISO's in multiples of 160. 160, 320, 640 etc... For example on the 5d2 or the 1dx2 this was the case. 640 was clearly cleaner than 500. Does anyone know if this is still the case with the 1dx3? I just picked one up, and...

    Exporting and Stock Footage with premiere

    Hello all, I have been getting a bunch of my footage ready for stock footage, and am having a difficult time knowing what the proper way to export the clips in adobe premiere would be. I am on Windows so Prores is out, so I have decided on DNxHR codec for my footage. When I go to export the...

    Underwater World - Filmed with 1dx2

    Auto focus isnt great underwater. I only occasionally use it for macro stuff, but it has to be the right subject.

    Underwater Critters with the 5d - Bali

    Hi Cayenne, I was using a 100mm macro lens the F2.8L I was also using wet diopter which is something you can flip over the lens for the really small stuff. This was when I was using a ikelite housing, but I now use a Nauticam housing with my 1dx2. I used a tripod in these shots. It has to be...

    60mm Macro lens equivalent for Full Frame

    Does anyone know of a good macro lens that would be the equivalent of a 60mm but for full frame? I shoot 4k video with the 1dx2. Which crops the the image about 40% I believe. So my 100mm macro lens is just too tight for alot of my subjects. It used to be fine using the full frame of a 5d...

    Can a Lens be damaged when....

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate. I had never even heard the term full time manual before. So thanks for the education. I had always just done that with this lens, as it never seemed like I was forcing it. So I figured it was okay. Thanks again for the info! -Dustin

    Can a Lens be damaged when....

    Hello, Can a lens be damaged when you switch the lens to autofocus on the lens itself, but then manually focus it? I am specifically looking at the Canon 100mm F2.8L Macro lens. I like to have it on auto focus as I can use the AF-ON button to get the focus close, and then manual to get it...

    Battery Issues - LP-E6N

    I am having problems with 2 of my LP-E6N's. They show a complete charge in both the canon charger, and a third party charger that I have. However, they won't turn on either my Canon 5d4, or work in my SmallHD 501 monitor. So this leads me to believe they aren't getting charged at all, and...

    Underwater Critters with the 5d - Bali

    Thanks for watching it. I used a 100mm macro lens, and the 16-35mm f4L. Getting critters to stay still is always a game of patience. With every great shot, is 6-7 bad ones. When you get one that cooperates, it is a win. This trip I did about 38 dives, and at an hour a piece on average. So...
