5D Mark III copyright information

5D Mark III copyright information shows up in the metadata but the copyright notice needs to be turned on manually in photoshop for each file. Is there anyway to turn it on with the automatic copyright within the camera?

I assume that the manual step you mention consists of copying the copyright notice from Canon's vendor-specific metadata to the corresponding IPTC field. The camera is ignorant of IPTC conventions; so if there's a way to perform the step automatically, I think it would have to be a setting in Photoshop.

Having issues opening raw files from Canon 5D Mark iii in Photoshop CS5

I cannot open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop CS5. I get an error saying "
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
Documentation seems to be no help.
Any ideas?

You can download the updates manually and try to install them Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh

My 5d Mark III raw files are showing up as CRAW2 not CR2?!

I have tried resetting my camera settings to default, formatting the CF cards, using multiple card readers...nothing is working and I can't seem to find any information on what a CRAW2 file is. I have also tried using a DNG converter to convert the files but that doesn't work either. No program recognized the raw file type.

Camera Raw Defaults are per camera and perhaps they are set strangely for the 5D.3 on your client’s computer. In particular check the Green channel in the Point curve in Toning Curve. I can easily create a very-magenta image by setting the toning curve to Point and selecting Green rather than RGB for the Channel and dragging the center of the curve all the way to the bottom to remove all green from the image. The camera profile might also be corrupt, which can be tested by switching to some of the others to see if they look ok.
You can isolate whether it is your camera, in particular, or any 5D.3 raw file by having your client download and look at a RAW file from the following page—by clicking on the word RAW under the 5D.3 image at the top left of the series on this page:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii/28
This is the direct download link to the ISO 100 studio image for the 5D.3 is:
http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/canon_eos5dmkiii/5D3_5199.CR2.zip
You might also try converting one of your CR2 files to DNG and make some adjustments, then update the preview and metadata into the DNG, so your client will be using your settings, rather than the defaults.

Problem with ACR 7 support of Canon 5D Mark III

Just purchased LR4 with ACR7 (upgrade from LR3.6 - not happy about that either, but I am mostly over it) and tried to import photos from my Canon 5D Mark III. Import feature sees all the .CR2 files but when I try to import them it complains that it does not recognize that file format. Not happy.

Unfortunately two important cameras, the Canon 5D.3 and the Nikon D800, came out during the transition between LR3/4 and PS-CS5/6 so Adobe released beta versions of LR and ACR to help tide people over, but what gets released when is kindof messy during the transition.
A major version release requires debugging and testing so the functionality, including new camera support, must be frozen earlier as compared to mid-version camera-support releases that have minimal coding changes. ACR7-beta functionality was frozen back in February so has even less camera support than ACR6.7 beta, which confused PS-CS6-beta users as well.
Just so you’re aware, there is a bug when doing extreme adjustments in the new toning model and geometric lens-corrections have been applied, so be careful with that in the new LR4.1 RC2. Eric Chan has said the bug will be fixed in the release version of LR 4.1. The same bugs exist in the final ACR 6.7 that came out within the last week, so it is unclear what the status of a bugfix is for PS-CS5 users.
Here is a forum post with more information. Also check out the other threads people refer to with other examples of the bug:

Canon 5D Mark III - underexposes

Hello,
I've noticed that my Canon 5D Mark III underexposes somewhere between 2/3 stops and one stop.
I've taken a test photo and I've attached the histogram and the exif. I photographed a white sheet of paper
Is this behaviour normal or is there a problem in the camera's metering system?
Thanks,

You are in partial metering mode, which is fine if you are shooting a plain white piece of paper. However most of the time I'd recommend either Evaluative instead, or if you are more accustomed to it, Center Weighted. Or use Spot Metering in some cases. Partial is sort of like a "Large Spot Metering" mode.
Evaluative has the advantage of putting extra emphasis on the area right around the active AF point, i.e. presumably around your subject. The rest of the image area is considered, too, but more weight is given to the active AF point. Center Weighted metering doesn't do this (it's sort of an "old fashioned" method of metering, but some people are accustomed to it from using older cameras.)
Do a Google search on Expose To The Right (ETTR), which is a common technique used by Canon shooters. Like hsbn mentioned above, I think Canon is a bit conservative about their metering, erring a little toward underexposure to "protect the highlights". This was a good practice back in the days of slide film, but is just the opposite of what you want to do with digital. To minimize noise in images, it's better to slightly overexpose and pull the exposure back down a little in post processing. Not a lot... just +1/3 to +2/3 stop. Here is a link to one of the better descriptions of ETTR I've seen. There are other tutorials and discussions about it other places online, so do a search if you wish.
Oh, and there was an exposure issue with the 5D III early on. The problem was a light leak near the top LCD, that would cause underexposure from additional light reaching the metering array in the viewfinder. Canon did a recall made some changes to fix the problem. Yours would have to be a very early production camera that was never fixed under the recall, to have this problem. The problem would vary, depending upon how strong light was striking the top of the camera whle shooting. Outside on a bright sunny day would cause more error than shooting indoors in low light.

EOS 5D Mark III - Serial Number EXIF Error

Hi,
I just enquired of PhaseOne as to why their DAM & RAW processor does not show the Camera Serial Number and I received the following reply:
"The simple reason for this is that the 5DmkIII does not write it in the standard EXIF data which the 5D and the 5DmkII did.
I have attached a EXIF extract from a 5DmkII and a 5DmkIII to show it.
This essentialy is a Canon firmware issue or feature depending on how you see it"
Is this going to be corrected in a new Firmware release or is it a feature of the 5D Mark III?

I guess the question is, "Is there a "standard" location for the camera serial number in a RAW file?" Or is the author of a RAW processor responsible for knowing where it is and handling it accordingly? With the exception of a few artificial outliers like Adobe's ACR, aren't all RAW formats camera-specific?
Hi,
Yes there is a standard promulgated and agreed to by camera manufacturers from The Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA) which produced the initial definition of Exif. Version 2.1 of the specification is dated 12 June 1998. The latest, version 2.3, released on 26 April 2010 and revised in May 2013, was jointly formulated by JEITA and CIPA. Exif is supported by almost all camera manufacturers.
Unfortunatly though, camera vendors also store important information only in proprietary makernote fields, instead of using available Exif standard tags. An example for this is Nikon's ISO settings tag and now it seems, the Body Serial number tag on the Canon EOS 5D Mk III is used for something else.
It leads me to believe it is a tag error because my other Canon cameras don't have any problems.
Don.
Maybe they put the serial number where they did in order to make it more resistant to Exif-editing software. If so, maybe it's a feature rather than an error. It will be interesting to see where the serial number appears in RAW files from the 7D2.

EOS 5D Mark III Firmware Update: Clean HDMI Output and AF Improvements Explained

Canon has released an important firmware upgrade for the EOS 5D Mark III that will undoubtedly benefit DSLR cinematographers and still shooters alike. The 1.2.1 update enables the camera to record clean, uncompressed digital video data (YCbCr 4:2:2 8 bit) with encoded time code over the HDMI output, while simultaneously displaying video on the rear LCD and recording internally to CF or SD cards. This adds an enormous amount of flexibility to what is already one of the world’s top DSLR camera choices.

Hi,
I am using my 5D Mark III with the Black Magic HyperDeck Shuttle 2 and I can't figure out how to get the camera to trigger the deck to record automatically.
Any ideas? I thought I set all the menu settings correctly in camerra with the new firmware.
Thanks,
Mike

Why does my 5D Mark III suddenly stop shooting pictures?

Every so often when I am shooting a lot of pictures with my 5D Mark III, once I release the shutter button I am unable to focus or take more pictures for a few seconds. I thought at first this was because it was writing information to the memory card but that does not appear to be the issue. The screen also does not indicate that it is busy or writing informatoin to the card. This issue does not happen on my 7D or 50D.

So, I need to make a correction on the Compact Flash Card. The card I am using is a SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB Compact Flash.
I am wondering...I was shooting a wedding this past weekend when this was happening. The card is rated at 32GB however, the formatted space shows approx 29GB. The total space used for pictures was just over 27GB. Wonder if it was stopping because the card was getting low on space?
What lens were you using? My 70-200 f/2.8 has two modes. In one of them it focusses faster, but doesn't let you get as close to the subject as in the other mode. If you're in that first mode and you get too close to the subject, the resulting behavior is as you describe. I doubt that that's your problem, but thought it was at least worth mentioning.
If the card were out of space, it would tell you. You wouldn't have to guess.

5D Mark III firmware suggestions

Hello,
Could Canon team give us their positions on these suggestions please ?
1) The Auto ISO is far from being convenient.
- Could we specify the min shutter speed instead of being limited to a restricted number of predefined values ?
- When shutter speed is set to "auto", could we set a priority as regards the one-over-the-focal-length rule thanks to a slider ? This is exactly what is so WELL done for some autofocus settings, so why not extend it to the "auto" value ?
2) When we switch the lens to manual focus, could you make the focus grid and red blinking vanish ?
3) Could you display the focal length on the rear LCD when reviewing a picture ? Presently, only aperture/speed/ISO are displayed when you click on "Info".
4) This last one might sound like a gadget... Would it possible when pressing the M-Fn button (or other) to set the focus to the hyperfocal ? Nowadays, there are no more indications for this on the lens barrel. And it is so useful for street photography and landscape. The camera knows the focal length and the current aperture. There are tables that give the relation between aperture, focal length and hyperfocal (as simple as a rule of thumb). So this should work, no ?
Maybe I am alone here to think that this would be welcome additions (#1 top priority) and will never be heard by Canon's dev team... But I would really appreciate having their answers written down here. Thanks for your consideration on this matter.
Cheers,
Yoms

We agree with all of these suggestions.
And we will also add the following suggestion than CAN be implemented via Firmware Update.
PLEASE CANON consider these requests, and forward them to the right department:
1- Could we enable AF points blinking in red even when the sccene is light?
Currently they only blink red when the scene is dark, even if you set the View Finder to always be illuminated.
This is VERY useful because in lot of situations the black overlay AF points is not very easy to see in light scenes.
2- If possible: also make them more visible (blinking red) in AI Servo, because they're currently hard to follow in lot of situations.
3- Could we assign different functions to the RATE button? It's currently almost a waste of button for only a couple of functions.
4- Please implement a "Hot / Sutck Pixels" REMAPPING function to let the user tell the camera to hide these deffective pixels in stills and video mode.
This is ESSENTIAL in digital cameras (every sensor has deffective pixels, most of them "mapped" in factory to be hidden, but not all). Digital sensors may even show more hot/stuck pixels over time. It could work in similar way than the "Dust delete data"
5- We expect an Option for CLEAN 4:2:2 HDMI output as promised by Canon, besides the current Full HD HDMI output option with shooting information, which is essential for using external monitors.
6- PLEASE, could Canon implement PEAKING in Video mode? The 5D Mark III is a $3,000+ camera.
There are currently cameras by other manufacturers with Peaking, 1080p60 for less than $1,000...
The 5D Mark III had strong advertised aimed towards the video market, yet it doesn't have this basic feature for filmmaking & video.
7- Please, could Canon improve the ALL-I mode?
It delivers poor quality (considering the BIG memory space required) when there are low motion scenes, showing more macro blocking than IPB and a noticeable "fizzy" noise, even at Low ISO.
8- Please, improve the Sharpness algorithm in Video mode, to get SHARPER images when setting it higher than zero.
Currently it produces noticeable halos, making it almost unusable for professional work.
The list could be longer, but all these improvements are VERY important and CAN be made via firmare update and would make the 5D Mark III more competitive and a higher value.
Thank you very much Canon!
We really hope you listent to your customers.

Canon 5d Mark III. I am using a 50mm 1.2 L Lens and cannot achieve focus

I just bought a Mark III. I could not achieve focus. I used the microadjustment dial, and had to adjust it all the way to -20 to get it to focus, however that only works for objects approximately 8 feet and closer. With anything further away I cannot achieve focus with this setting and have to erase the microadjustment. This doesn't make sense and I cannot be constantly checking my focus and readjusting the microadjustment when I am shooting a session.

Well, the 50mm 1.2 L is a bit notorious for focusing issues. However, the 5D mk III works very well with it.
On a prime lens you should not have to set different micro adjustments for different camera to subject distance.
Needing to use the micro adjustment function is very helpful and there is no cause to worry if a lens and camera body combination require micro adjustment for optimal focusing, but if you need to go all the way to -20, it is probably time to send the body and lens to Canon for calibration/adjustment. If it is new, you should be able to get this done at no charge to you. Call before you send your equipment.
Realize that the depth of field at f1.2 is VERY small - at 3 feet the DOF is about 3/4 of an INCH. At 11 feet the DOF is about a foot. But if your 5D will not show a focus lock-on, then there is something wrong with either the body or lens. Do other lenses work OK? Do you have another body to try the lens on? (maybe you can borrow from someone local).
More information may help us help with your problem.

Canon 5d mark III tethered to Lightroom 4

Any info on when canon 5d mark III will be able to worked tethered in Lightroom 4

You know Adobe needs to give money to the camera manufactures so they can have access to a special SDK's that allows ADOBE to develop software that the manufacturers are not willing to develop themselves. The ability to tether in Lightroom with my 5dMKIII is just one of the features that I am missing out on. I have a cobbled workaround, but it is lame. Capture one can tether a 5d mkIII but they have some weird stipulations, for example they cannot bring a Raw M or Raw S file into the application. The Canon SDK for the new gen of Cameras is really a tough nut to crack, so it seems. Speaking to Julieanne Kost in person she say the tethering option is not available and she does not know when it will be available. She didn't give me specifics, she did say if more customers complain about not having the feature that the Lightroom team would make it a priority. So Here goes, Dear Lightroom Team Please get your stuff together and make tethering in Lightroom 4 a top Priority!

I have the latest update. The camera is shipping. When will we get the update for this camera?

Here we go again
This question gets asked over and over every time there's a new camera out.
Three to four orderly releases of Adobe Camera Raw per year have been promised. Beyond that, there's no guarantee that your camera will be supported in the very next one.
Pressure Canon to share the necessary information in its entirety and in a timely fashion.
Frankly, I never cease to be amazed at folks who buy a camera without checking whether it is supported by their preferred software or not.

24-105mm f/4 L IS USM white box lenses from 5D Mark III kit

There are 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lenses being sold in many places as being seperated from 5D Mark III kits in white boxes with no warranty card. What is the official status of these lenses? If they truly are being removed from the 5D kit they should be covered under warranty by their serial number as they would be if purchased with the kit, correct? What should I look for prior to purchasing one to assure it will will carry a Canon USA warranty? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
ps- if a kit is purchased does it include warranty cards for both body and lense?

Hi Tycomps!
If a US model lens is purchased as new from a Canon authorized dealer in the USA, a one year warranty card will be included with the lens. A warranty card is included with all new products sold by authorized dealers. Here is the link to the list of authorized dealers: http://www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/dealer/CanonAuthorizedDealers.pdf.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my Canon Mark III 5D Camera.

Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge does not recognize the raw files from my new Canon Mark III 5D Camera. How can I get my files open to view and edit? I am using LR3, Photoshop CS3 and Bridge CS3. Do I need to upgrade these programs or is there another way to get these programs to recognize my files?
When I try opening the raw images in Lightroom, the thumbnails say "Preview unavailable for this file" ... when I click "import" an error message pops up that says "The files are from a camera which is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom."
When I try opening the raw images in Photoshop, an error message pops up saying "could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
When I try opening the raw images in Bridge, it just shows an icon with the file name and CR2.
Please help!!!

Unless I missed an announcement, today, LR6 isn't available, yet, right? Only Adobe employees and beta testers would know what LR6 does differently at this point and they're all sworn to secrecy.
LR5 is available as a standalone version.
PS-CS6 is available as a serial-number-licensed version.
PS-CC + LR5 are also available as a Photography Plan subscription for $10/month with a minimum OS versions of OSX 10.7 (and probably 10.8, soon) and Windows 7.
Bridge is part of PS, not a separate program.
LR5 standalone and LR+PS-CC plan are both available on this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software.html
PS-CS6 can be found on this page: Creative Suite 6 which can be found by searching www.adobe.com for Photoshop CS6 and clicking the Buy link in the on-the-fly search results.
As with any new Adobe software, it might be wise to run it in trial mode for a few days/weeks to see if it works well with your computer, before purchasing and finding out you might need a new computer, first.
