Aperture Canon 5D MK III

I am getting unsupported images error. Is this because an Aperture RAW update is needed to support the new camera?

See his thread Canon 5D Mk III - RAW update?

  • Canon 1Ds Mark III and Aperture - MJK

    Just starting using new Canon 1Ds Mark III with Aperture. I am a new APerture and new Apple user.
    Photos import fine into Project. When I do any adjustments the photo gets completely distorted in the viewer. It is mostly white with pieces of the photo. Completely jumbled with mostly white space. Photo still emails fine, can't get my Epson 2400 working yet, so not sure about print. Anyone have any answers?
    THANKS!!!

    Hello:
    Today I experienced same problem with the pictures. Happened right after I downloaded pictures (RAW) I took today. I used a Canon 20D. The problem went away when I shut down Aperture and re-started it. Hope it works for you.
    Dex
    P.S. In my case, Aperture keeps getting buggier and buggier.

  • Is anybody using the Canon 1D mark III with RAW and Aperture?

    Hello,
    Is anybody using the Canon 1D mark III with RAW and Aperture?
    JO

    I'm using a 5D with a G5 and having nothing but problems. I have aperture installed on my Powerbook and don't have any problems. Upload fine and everything. But as soon as i try and upload photos on my G5 it's terrible. They preview fine before import.
    but afterwards they're corrupt.
    any help....

  • TS4256 I have got a Canon 5 Mark III, but aperture generates previews instead of of using the embedded previews. What to do?

    I have got a Canon 5 Mark III, but aperture generates previews instead of using the embedded previews of my Camera. Who has got an idea? Thanks

    The built-in previews are ONLY used initially for speed.
    If you have this set, then turn on quick preview and you'll be able view your images when the embedded previews.  But Aperture will not use these previews *forever* - it's only to be faster during import.
    You may be misunderstanding what this feature is for and how it's meant to be used.  It's to make import and initial photo editing (picking your best shots) much faster - along the lines of the speed of Photo Mechanic, which it is.
    It is not intended to permanently use the camera generated JPEG preview a the preview.  That woudn't really make sense as it doesn't represent how it looks.

  • Canon 5D Mark III Raw Files Not Viewable in Finder for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    System specs:
    Computer: Mid 2008 Mac Pro - Dual Quad Core
    OS: OS X 10.6.8 (includes the most recent Digital Camera Raw Updates)
    Camera: Canon 5D Mark III
    Problem:
    Finder can not preview the thumbnails from this camera.  While not that big of a deal (I can use Lightroom, Bridge, etc to view these) it is a bit of an annoyance when transfering files around from one volume to another.
    According to this Apple support page -   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   -  I may need to update iPhoto, in order for the Digital Camera Raw Updates to work (specifically 3.12 from last year that addressd the 5D3's raw files).
    As a pro photographer, I have ZERO use for iPhoto.  But, I would be willing to spend the $15 for the newest version of iPhoto, if I knew that would solve the Finder thumbnail problem.
    I would love a definitive answer, without having to call Apple and paying the "per-incident support fee."

    I manually installed the latest RAW update (3.13 I think - for 10.6.8) .... worked for me.
    (auto-update didn't do **** about raw update)
    now aperture and os-x (10.6.8) show the 5dmk3 raw's.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Will Canon 5d Mark III Raw files work with Lightroom 3

    I have just tried to upload Raw files from a Canon 5d Mark III to Lightroom 3.  The file were not recognised.  I believe there were some update issues but my Lightroom 3 is updated.  Do I need to get Lightroom 4?  I need to know urgently as I have a shoot tomorrow and will go back to my Mrk II if I can't get an update for Lightroom 3.

    LR3 DOES NOT support Canon 5D3, 1Dx, Nikon D800 or Nikon D4.
    Newer cameras wont work in it, and require LR4 for RAW processing (Tethering in LR4 STILL is not supported)
    However,
    LR4 is massively buggy, and slow to a point where it is practically unuseable for anything other than a handful of images to edit.
    Also, LR4 will not tether to the new cameras (for that, try ANY of the competing professional software, Aperture, Capture One - They work just fine)
    You can, convert your 5D3 files to DMG, and then open them in LR3 that way, or you can get LR4 and deal with it's massively awful slow issues that Adobe has still not resolved 5.5 months after launch, or you can use other software.
    Those are your options.

  • Canon 5D Mark III back screen is dead after tethered capture with Lightroom 4.3

    I was successfully shooting tethered using Lightroom 4.3 (PC laptop with Windows 7) and my Canon 5D Mark III, however when I disconnected the cable I was no longer able to see anything on the back of the camera, no image playback, no menu, no live view, nothing.  How do I recover the functionality of the camera's back screen.  I tried removing the battery for a while, replacing the battery, taking out the memory card.  Don't know how to "reset" the camera.  Note the top display on the camera and the view finder display work fine, I can change settings with my dials.  Was working in Manual Exposure mode, and also tried Aperture Priority.  If I reconnect to the laptop I can still work in tethered mode, but after disconnecting the camera back is still dead.
    Was I somehow supposed to disconnect the camera from tethered capture before disconnecting the cable? 

    It is probably not related to your tethering session in Lightroom. It is also unlikely to be related to the order you unplugged things. (Unless you yanked the cable and damaged some electronics).
    Have you tried pulling both batteries for 30 minutes (The regular battery and the quarter-sized watch battery)?  Pull those and the memory card. Unplug all cables and let it sit for a while and then replace the batteries.

  • Help with focus on Canon 5d mark iii

    the answer to my question is probably pitifully obvious so i acknowledge my limits
    I'm having a terrible time focusing with my canon 5d mark iii.  i primarily use a 35mm 1.4L and an 85mm 1.2L, and use back button focus with ai servo mode.  i also usually manually select a single focus square. 
    its a bit bizarre, but there are days where i constantly nail focus, but then there are days when i miss on 85% of my shots, but i dont think anything is changing (settings) between the shots.  the problem arises across a broad aperture range (meaning its not only if shooting at 1.2 or 1.4i don't understand what is happening, and hope someone can help.
    the problem arises with both stationary and moving targets. 
    i would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand how to improve.  some questions include:
    1.  is it possible there's a flaw with the camera itself? 
    2.  how do i best use back button focus?  should i, for exe, hold down the focus button constantly, or only depress it long enough to focus, release, then snap?  what about for moving subjects?
    3.  should i be using a different auto focus mode? 
    greatly appreciate the help.

    You should use "one shot" focus when your subject distance is not changing.  You should use "AI Servo" when your subject distance is changing.  
    Canon doesn't actually recommend just leaving the camera in "AI Servo" mode (it seems like it would be a good catch-all focus mode, but they claim it's not.)  The issue with "AI Servo" is that the camera actually expects that the subject actually is changing distance and it's trying to evaluate that in order to use predictive focus.  When it turns out the subject is not really moving, they claim it can throw the camera focus accuracy.
    When using back-button focus you can press and release the button at will.  That's actually the point of it... it was created for situations when you're tracking a subject, suddenly a distancting object enters the frame and you do not want the camera to switch focus to that other object... but then the object passes out of frame and you want to resume focus on your original subject.  So you could press-and-hold... and when the distraction shows up in frame just let go... until it's passed and then you can press-and-hold again to resume AI servo focus.
    The 5D III has an amazing focus system.
    Canon does have a great guide explaining how it works and how to adjust settings and tune it in great detail.  You can find it here:  http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2012/1dx_guidebook.shtml
    This same guide is titled for the 1D X but if you read the intro they explain that it's really for both the 1D X and the 5D III which have nearly identical focus systems.
    There's a PDF in the lower-left area of that page that you'll want to download -- which is the 47 page guide on the focus system.

  • Canon 1DS Mark III

    Does Aperture support the newly released Canon 1DS Mark III (which is different from the 1D Mark III)?

    welcome to the forum ...
    unfortunately no one will/can tell you when it will come ... you will have to be patient or as you say change to Lightroom ...
    it will come when it comes ... and as you can see in the D3/D300 thread (as well as the 40D threads of past months) no amount of clamouring in this forum will change the way apple communicates about aperture ...
    please use the feedback to request support ...

  • EXIF and "Flash" field with Canon 1D mark III

    Hi,
    I have two Canon 1D mark III.
    I'm shooting RAW without a flash attached to both cameras.
    But if I look in Aperture in the EXIF data of the two cameras, then one camera is showing the value "16" in the "Flash" EXIF field the other is showing "0" as the value in the "Flash" EXIF field.
    What does this field mean, why are there different values for the same shooting conditions?
    Thanks
    JO

    But there was no flash on any of these two cameras, so how can this then be different?
    Most cameras will let you change some flash settings whether there is a flash attached or not.

  • Tethering for Canon 1D mark III

    Hello,
    Is there any chance, that we will get the Tethering Function in Aperture for the Canon 1D mark III series added during one of the next Aperture updates, soon?
    Regards,
    JO

    There haven't been any announcements by Apple so who knows.
    The issue isn't a trivial one, though -- the "standard" tethering protocol used by Aperture for tethering to older cameras does not exist on Canon's newest cameras. So Apple would have to do a lot of work specific to the 1D* Mark III cameras to support tethering.
    I'd love to see it personally (I can tether with my 1D Mark II, but not my 1Ds Mark III), but don't know if/when it will happen.
    Definitely submit feedback via Aperture. The more the merrier!

  • Does PSE11 show HDR exif data for a Canon 5D Mark III?

    I have taken some pictures with the HDR feature on my Canon 5D Mark III. The HDR image that the camera creates does not show that it was created using the camera's HDR feature when viewed with PSE11. The Canon Software that came with my camera is ImageBrowserEX 1.4.0 and it shows these data: HDR Shooting Enable, Adjust dynamic range +-2, HDR Effect Natural, Auto Image Align Enable. Is there a way to show the HDR exif in PSE11? Thanks, Anne

    Thanks -- I should have mentioned in my original question that I had already looked at File>Info. The usual stuff is there but nothing about the image being created from the HDR camera function, or at least that I could see. I went through all the tabs including Advanced and just don't see it. I will try to figure out how to ask Adobe Technical Support and how to request that they get that info included if it's not there. Anne

  • When will finder show a thumbnail or preview of the raw file images from the Canon 5d mark iii?

    I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).

    I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

  • Camera Raw 7 does not recognize Canon 5D Mark III RAW files

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed and I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop nur Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, though it says on the Adobe support site that the camera is supported since Camera Raw 6.7
    When I try to open the .cr2-File I get the message "Photoshop cannot open the file".
    I use Win7 (64 Bit).
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    Its a known issue as the PS CS 6 was launched with ACR 7 however the support in Photoshop CS 6 would come with ACR 7.1 update which will be live soon.
    You are completely right in saying that Canon 5D Mark III was supported in ACR 6.7 but it was only intended for >PS CS 5 & 5.1.
    In the meanwhile if you want you can download the RC version of ACR 7.1 from labs.adobe.com.
    Thanks
