Canon 5D mark II firmware 1.0.7 OK in LR 2.2?

Can anyone confirm that RAW files created by this firmware behave the same in LR 2.2 as RAW files from previous firmware?
It's necessary to update Canon's apps in order for sRAW files to display properly. (Without the update, sRAW files may have a color shift.)
That makes me wonder if other subtle differences might exist in the RAW files which will cause problems in LR.

The only problem with that idea, nice as it sounds, is that it would leave to Adobe domination in most of the market. No, I for one would wish things to slide further in the opposite direction and to see a *real* competitor emerge in the RAW processing market. If that had already been the case we wouldn't probably be seeing these all too often no-good releases being issued. I for one paid good money for LR and am still awaiting a truly working application. This last release (2.2) with it's much reported memory leak problems defies belief, can only be explained by inadequate testing prior to release and in all probability would never have arisen had Adobe not had such a prominent place in the market. The really sad thing is that Adobe more often than not abuse this position and treat their customers in a third rate manner.

Canon 5D Mark III firmware wishlist/feature request.

Auto ISO one-touch Custom Control:
As a photographer my niche is in child and pet portraits. So I shoot Manual and fix my exposure at 1/500 shutter speed and f/2.8 aperture with Auto ISO. The SET->ISO custom control beautifully allows me to do exposure compensation in ISO because it only takes 3 clicks of the Main Dial to add 1-stop EV. But there is no quick way to turn Auto ISO back on.
For example, if Auto ISO is reading ISO-1600 it only takes 3 clicks to get ISO-3200 using the Main Dial and SET->ISO Custom Control. But it takes 17 clicks of the Main Dial with the top ISO button to turn Auto ISO back on. [Note: Auto ISO cannot be set with SET->ISO]
I am proposing a Custom Control for one-touch Auto ISO to provide a very fast and easy way to switch to Auto ISO.
This functionality could be included in the existing SET->ISO Custom Control:
1) Holding SET and turning the Main Dial selects ISO. [Current functionality]
2) Pressing SET selects Auto ISO
If this dual context in buttons is not possible then the Custom Control options could be any/all of:
1) AF-ON -> Auto ISO
2) * -> Auto ISO
3) Start/Stop -> Auto ISO [I think a lot of action photographers aren't using LiveView]
Thank you for your consideration.
-DS
Others all welcome to add their own wishlist.

please add exposure compensation when in full manual mode with autoISO enabled.
for example I set a desired aperture for depth of field and a desired speed to freeze movements and there heavily changing light conditions on a location with a lot of action - i will just use autoISO. so one scene might be evenly exposed, but when i turn around i have a heavily backlit person. so it would be super-practical if i could just overexpose by a stop or two via the back dial. if i would adjust the ISO the same problem as DeckardSolos arises.
apparently nikons have that feature.
edit - second request: enable main dial image scroll in review mode
i take a shot with image review enabled. naturally i review my image and often would like to compare it to the image i took just before. but i cant just scroll back with the main dial. i have to press play to get in "playback mode" and only then the dial will work. it would be very practical if the image pops up automatically for review and i could compare it straightaway to others.

Error (Err 02) in Canon 7D Mark II when doing image copy from SD to Flash card; is this a bug?

Using hardware and firmware as:- Camera: Canon 7D Mark II firmware ver. 1.0.4.- Flash card (1): Kingston 64 GB ultimate 266X- SD card (2): SanDisk 32 GB Extreme 60 MB/s Both cards where bought from authorized dealer, and looks genuine. Steps to generate the error:1: Test SD card (2) on PC with H2testw with no problems2: Format Flash card (1) in camera3: Format SD card (2) in camera, using low level format4: Take 1505 JPG images in high resolution to the SD card (2)5: Copy images from SD card (2) to Flash card (1) After copying of about 200 images, this resulted in error "Err 02", which cays:"Card2 cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card2 or format card2 with camera." The problem had occurred previously with a Lexar SD card, so the above steps were made in order to reproduce the error and describe the exact steps taken for the error to occur. Are there anybody else that experience the same error ? Does this look like a bug in the Canon 7D Mark II using firmware ver. 1.0.4, or is there a way I can make it work ? Best regardsMortenZdk

Canon 2nd level support contacted me yesterday.
They said that this issue was unknown in their system.
In order to proceed they needed to read out additional error information from the camera, and such read-out is only possible on an authorized service size, since the software for such read-out is not available for users.
Canon where not interested in providing me the software to do the error read-out, so I could send this to them for further investigation in relation to the support case.
I suggested that the support person should request that such software for error read-out is made available for the end user, in order to provide further information in relation to support case, but the support person was not interested in going forward with such an idea.
Canon were not interested in trying to reproduce the problem them self, even through I offered to send them the SD and Flash cards that caused the problem.
So all Canon could do was to tell me to spendt additional time and money sending the camera to a service size, and then having to miss the camera for 14 days during while the service site investigates.
I must admit, that this has left me with a bad experience in relation to buying a relatively expensive Canon camera together with high-end brand memory cards. In my opinion, it looks like Canon is not giving the end user any good ways of determined the reason for an error, which could lead to product improvement for example a firmware fix. All I can do, if I want to move on this this, and potentially help Canon fix their product, is to spend additional time and money sending the camera to a service size.
There is definitely room for improvement!

Easy Set-Up for Canon 5D Mark II Media

I was in the forum about a month ago, and thanks to you all I learned what I needed to know to transcode my Canon 5D Mark II media to FCE. But, now I am shooting with Canon's new firmware that allows to capture media at 24 fps. Now, I know that FCE is not optimum for this media, but because I don't use pirated software and I am low on cash what is the best Easy Set-Up for FCE. Now, I have it set at Format: HD ; Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ; Rate: 29.97.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Michael,
To answer you first question, I have FCE v 4.01.
I found the following video on u-tube very helpful,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRpUs_My-Oo, however make sure you follow the instructions given in the forum as to what values to place in MPEG Streamline. If you combine the two you should be OK. I am not sure I understand your second question, but I have not had to make a render step in placing clips in FCE timeline. But, I am not that knowledgable about FCE. I am still very low on the learning curve.... yet, I hope this is somewhat helpful...Good Luck

Canon 5D Mark ii Memory Card/CF Problem - Overwriting pic

Hello,
I have had my Canon 5D Mark ii for a year and a half now and love it. However, from time to time I have issues with the memory card/ memory card reader and it is really acting up right now. I have tried a couple of different memory cards, so I don't believe that the actual card is the issue. What happens is that the first pic comes out fine and then the next picture overwrites the one I just took and has a pink striped part through part of the pic. If I take a third pic it will overwrite it again and the whole pic will be very washed out and have that same pink strip through it. The only thing that works is taking out the memory card and putting it back in. I'm missing lots of pics lately though! See below for pic examples. In the second pic you can see the pink strip at the top. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? We are going to the beach in a few weeks and I really want my camera to work! Thanks!!! ~ Stacie

Stacie,
Almost always things like this are the fault of the CF card but not entirely. The things you need to know and do are....
Buy top quality cards like Snadisk or Lexar. Get them from known good retailers. Usually 4GB, 8BG or 16GB is best.
Only format the CF card with the camera, never with a computer. Format the CF card before each important shoot.
Have spares.
Another important factor is to set the camera back to factory defaults whenever you see someting you don't know how it happened!
You may want to reinstall your camera's firmware and this is a good time to make sure it is the latest from Canon.
Go to the 5D Mk II web page.
And card readers go bad. Get a new one. They are cheap. Even the USB port in your computer can fail so try a different port or another computer.
It is also possibilt that one or two of the very tiny pins in the CF card slot have been bent over. Use a flash light to see it they are all upright.
I use the entire line of 5D's and they are truly great cameras. You will love it.

H.264 mov files from Canon 5D Mark II running at incorrect speed?

What is causing the mov. files recorded at 25 fps Imported from a Canon 5D Mark II
PAL to run at 2.5 fps on the Timeline of Premiere Pro ? And it looks like it.This all happened after the Firmware Upgrade 2.0.4
The camera is recording at the right speed according to the LCD and it runs correctly in Premiere Elements ?.
Message was edited by: Bob Dix

Interesting approach., Canon seem to think it might be the camera ? Which I
doubt because the mov H264 files are easily opened in Premiere Elements and
work very well., I am reluctant to send it back as I think the Problem is in
Premiere but, where ?
Regards,
Bob

Ps . The problem is not fixed, Canon Australia is looking at the issue, the Canon EOS 5 D Mark II is recording at 25 fps. They believe the problem is within Adobe Premier Pro ? Perhaps even a computer problem any ideas.

My lightroom wont upload my images from my canon 5D Mark III

Im not sure which firmware update to use to fix this. Any help please. Thanks.

That message is correct. Version 3.6 is the latest version of Lightroom 3 so there are no updates to that version.
However that's not the whole story. You need to pay to upgrade (not update) Lightroom to version 4 or 5.
The Canon 5D Mark III was first supported in Lightroom 4.1. That camera will never be supported in Lightroom 3.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
So you need at least version 4.1 but Adobe only sells version 5.
So your best bet is to pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5.7 so you can open 5D Mark III Raw files directly into Lightroom.
FREE ALTERNATIVE
Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 5D Mark III Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 3.6.

Updating 5D Mark III firmware

I am trying to update my 5D Mark III firmware.The download is on the CF card but the camera cannot read it. What have i done wrong? I use an Apple iMac

When you download the new firmware, you should get a file named "eos5d3-v121-mac.dmg" on your hard drive (probably in your downloads folder.)
Open "Finder" on your Mac and double click that file to mount the disk-image (.dmg) file.
This will open a Finder window showing the contents of that .dmg file. You will notice two things:
1) A file named: 5D300121.FIR
2) A folder named: update-procedure-pdf
The folder contains PDF documents with instructions in several languages.
All you really need to do is copy the ".FIR" file to your memory card. The 5D300121.FIR should be placed in the top-level directory on the card (do not place it in a sub-folder.)
Eject the card from your Mac.
Insert the card into your camera.
Power up the camera.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTTERY (never attempt an update on a battery that's near empty).
Press the "Menu" button on the camera.
Use the front wheel to scroll to SET UP page 4 (gold "wrench" icon ... 4th page).
Use the rear dial to scroll down to the 4th row. This will show your current firmware version.
Press the "Set" button.
It will show the current version with a "Cancel" and "Ok" option. Click "Ok" to proceed.
It will check the memory cards for files in the top-level directory ending with ".FIR" and display your choices.
Since you'll only have one .FIR file, it should show an entry for "Cardx: 5D300121.FIR"
Highlight that firmware and press "Set"
It will confirm one last time that you want to upgrade from your current firmware to the new firmware. When you are ready, select "Ok" to proceed.
It will now begin the update. It will display a progress graph.
It will give you a message with explicit instructions to not touch any buttons or switches until it is finished.
It will tell you it is done.
Canon recommends you now POWER OFF the camera and...
EJECT THE BATTERY.
Wait 2 full seconds.
Re-insert the battery.
Power up the camera.
You're done!
That last bit about removing the battery is to force the camera to completely boot from firmware. The power swtich is really a soft switch... it doesn't technically deprive the camera of power. "technically" your camera is in a kind of power-saving sleep state.... except it will not be awakened by accidentally pressing a button like a true "sleep" state. That's why they tell you to remove and then re-insert the battery.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I have a new canon d7 mark ii and I can not get the raw picture to download in lightroom 6. Lightroom says it does not recognize the raw format. Is there a solution?

Lightroom 6 will not open raw files from my new canon d7 mark II camera. The program says "The files are not recognized by the raw format supported in Lightroom. The Lightroom 6 is up to date. Is there a quick fix to this issue?

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!

The program used to import and transcode the Can 5D footage but no longer does. The program freezes often and looses my projects as well. Hard to make a living when your editing program is on strike!
