It will come without the need to create a DNG when using Denoise AI, similar to ACR. Finally. Several other goodies as well. Info is just starting to leak out here and there but no official announcement yet. Might be a few more days.

Travel insurance will cover it Edit so I had to use rf 100-400 just didnt acquire focus as well but worked it out to a ok level son playing football on a very rainy day Weird artefacts in pic one hand near his knee and his boot

I recently had the bit of cerebral flatulence that I ought to try and recreate what I believe to be my first photo. In 1979, I bought my first camera - a Yashica FX3. I immediately went to a nearby county park and took an image of a waterfall. (🙄) I took the film in for processing and anxiously awaited the return of my pictures… When they came back, they were flat, mushy and boring. 😢 Yesterday I went to the same park to try and take the same shot again - this time with an R5 and a 50mm...

I have some bursts that I took with the R3 that I'd like to make a video out of. These are RAWs at 195 FPS but they are not in a RAW Burst. Doesn't look like there is a way in DPP to make a movie from them. I do have an old copy of Photoshop, so making an animated GIF is a possibility. Are there any other common options? I see there's a way to do it in iMovie but I don't know how fast they can switch.

Most likely not recommended but I decided to filter my new Mac Mini. Since dropping Amazon it has been more challenging to procure items. I got mine from Ebay UK which cost me a bit more. Here is the Amazon link. https://www.amazon.com/Lvseeman-Suitable-Dissipation-Accessories-Aluminum/dp/B0DSBTWYMT It came with an extra screen so I can swap it out monthly for cleaning or if I notice the temps go up. I did get an app to monitor temperature. I didn't want to control the fan speed, just...

The specs on the Canon USA page list the EV for the Canon R5 Mark II at -7.5. Looking through the HTML instruction manual reveals the EV to be -6.5 in the specs page. Anyone have any insight into which number is correct? I have been trying to see if a firmware update might be the answer. I am preparing to purchase some Canon gear and noticed the discrepancy.

I have had my R100 body for a few months now. I'm sure I will upgrade someday, but it does everything it is supposed to do well and has met my expectations. I have no regrets. One thing routinely annoys me. I have large hands, and with the smaller R100 body, I frequently bump the Flash Button with the heel of my hand. I rarely, if ever, use the flash. I recently found a solution, and the problem has been eliminated! On some camera function buttons, Flash is one of them. In the options to...

hey all, i've been shooting with two R5 since Sept '22 and I am still flummoxed occasionally by the AF of the camera. when the light is good, AF eye focus is unbeatable, but i mainly shoot musicians and the combo of crappy and unpredictable stage lighting and performers' motion, coupled with long hair that can obscure faces and/or higher contrast items in the frame like mic stands means that the camera sometimes assigns the AF point to the wrong thing. i've got my AF-ON button set to Eye AF...

I dont but often considered them. Thought gimmicky when they first came out say 10/15 yrs ago but sure they've caught up now in quality and actual practicality.

Hi to one and all. After returning to photography after a very long lay off due to ill health, I treated myself to an R7 and RF 100-400, which I'm very happy with, but still learning some of the settings for the camera. I am in the market for a replacement for my EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6. I'm looking for a faster lens, not only for general landscapes, but for astrophotography. I have researched and researched and this lens keeps coming and with some very good reviews, and it's the Tamron...

Looking to start recording videos with my R7. There are Movie settings on the RED menu Tab 10 when in photo mode. When setting custom config (C1-C3) these are saved. However, there are also separate menus for video when in video mode. This can be saved to the C(v)1-3 configs. These do NOT appear to override the saved RED tab 10 C1-3 settings! I read somewhere that when in photo mode just pressing the red record button on top uses the settings in the C(v)3 custom config. I assume that when...

😮 As we look to cement UK-US relations (at least in our family) it's looking like we will be shortly visiting the US for the first time. (The plan is sketchy and fluid, but we should be looking at 2-3 days exploring Boston ahead of a 5 day chill down in Orlando). Suggestions for interesting venues to consider visiting in either location are invited along with any 'how to survive the US' tips. (We have done a fair amount of world travel - though it's been a while now as we hunkered down...

I finally got my camera back from Canon. They were able to replicate my issue with the camera firing after I take my finger off the shutter button as described in previous posts. The repair ticket states under Service Details: "Your product was examined. We are aware of the issue accruing with the shutter and is being investigated. Currently there is no fix for this issue, we are working to provide a solution. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. Thank you...

Had a call from local newspaper about recent tornado trip in USA must have been a quiet week:rolleyes: Anyway he asked what inspires me to take photos sort said, just enjoy being out there and capturing the moment errr think he was hoping for a awe inspiring comment. How do you measure improvement and does updating gear help that crikey wrong reply again, just said well my photos from when I started to now are in my opinion better and thats all I worry about and gear told him not super...

I recently published an article exploring ways to add more blur or replace the background on flora photographs. I am posting a couple of photos, before and after, as examples. If interested, you can find it on the following link. https://www.keptlight.com/simple-background-fixes-in-photoshop/

After a real 'rookie error' at the last race meeting where I didn't factor in the sun position I ended up with a lot of shots with the windscreen's blown out completely - after 16 years I have taken the plunge and bought a CPL filter for the RF100-300 - a 112mm monster . . . . still not sure how or if it will work as expected but time will tell - no racing for a couple of weeks. So question for the guys that do use a CPL. . . . .do they work and what should I be prepared for? guessing I...

Question for the board... The manual states: "With this feature, automatic shooting in continuous shooting drive mode is already in progress before you press the shutter button completely, after you have pressed it halfway for a moment. [Pre-Continuous Shooting] is displayed on the shooting screen during pre-continuous shooting." Is there any way to move this function (pre-continuous activation) to the AF-ON button (like Sony & Nikon)? Thanks!

Seems to me photography transcends all people and physicalities race, politics, abilities and is non judgemental. A great night out with no bells and whistles club. We dont have constitution competitions hierarchy even a president just a bunch of like minded individuals. And there's some cracking photographers I learn each meeting. 15 members out on a chilly night. And a recent duststorm this week . Edit you may ask why the fast shutter speed during dust storm I could hardly stand up 80/90...
