Canon 5D Mark III "can't recognize card1"

Hi fellow canon user, I have problem with my 5D, I bought it like 6 month ago.
Now, my camera doesn't read any card. I tried to put a blank new SD card and it doesn't work at all. I've tried multiple times, but still doesn't work.
Anybody know what happen to my camera?
What should I do ? thankyou

The CF card is card 1. If you open the door to the memory cards and remove card 1, then close the door before you put the CF card back in it's slot, then the camera defaults to card 2, the SD card. The camera will then record to card 2 and card 1 it will be blank. I normally shoot to the CF card first and when I remove it to download the pictures I try to remember to leave the door open until I replace the CF card. I have more than one CF cards so what I have started doing is getting a spare card CF card ready, remove the CF card from the camera, insert the spare CF card, then close the door. The camera is still set to record to card 1. After I have downloaded the files from the CF card I delete the files from the card, format it, and put it in my camera bag ready for the next change.
I don't know why Canon designed the firmware this way but as far as I know there is no way to change it. It is one of those mysterious and frustrating things that manufacturers do to us.
The way to prevent that is to have only one card in the camera at a time. It won't switch over if it has nothing to switch to. But I agree that the fact that it doesn't notice that you put the first card back in is confusing and annoying.

Canon 5d mark III does not recognize the Canon Speedlite 580EX II is connected

When I choose External Speedlite control/ Flash function settings on the 5D.
I get a dialogue that says
This menu cannot be displayed. Incompatible flash or flash's power is turned off.
Flash is on. If I take a photo, flash fire's. Pictures are ALWAYS over exposed when using the flash.
Does the 580EX II work with the 5D Mark III?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The loose foot plate is a fairly common issue (and easily fixed).
But also keep in mind that there are 5 metal contact pins on the foot of the flash and these mate with the 5 pins on the camera hot-shoe. The 6th contact is the hot-shoe itself (the metal foot plate is actually the ground contact and it mates with the rails on the camera hot-shoe to provide the ground connection.)
Those 5 pins are spring-loaded. If you push them with your finger tips, they should push in and spring back out when you release them. If a piece of dirt manages to get widged into the pin, then it might keep it from springing back out properly and prevent it from making a good connection to the camera. If this happens, the camera may believe it does not have an ETTL flash connected. The pins would need to be cleaned (Do not oil them... that would only attract more dirt. The pins have a loose fit that requires no lubricant. Just clean out whatever dirt may be present if the pins are not performing as they should).

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

I have CS4 and was using a Canon 5D Mark II with raw photos. I just got the Canon 5D Mark III and CS4 now can not read the raw photos. It has raw version 5.7.0.213 and CS4 version 11.0.2. Can anyone help?

The 5D Mark II was first supported by Camera Raw 5.2 which is compatible with CS4+.
The 5D Mark III was first supported by Camera Raw 6.7 and 7.1 which is only compatible with CS5 and CS6.
So the CS4 will never be able to open Raw 5D Mark III files.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

Purchase CS6 full version (CS4 is too old to qualify for an upgrade)

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

Just got me a new camer canon 5D mark iii and now I can't send the images from lightroom to open in photoshop anymore

Hi Mark, I have lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and worked with it with my old camera, Canon 60D and had no problem
now I got me a new one, Canon 5D Mark iii and I can import the images into lightroom but I can't not send it from lightroom to photoshop. Also tried to drag and drop the picture image directly into photoshop but it wouldn't allow me to do so.
What do I have to do to get that working?

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations

Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

The above contradicts with this:

I am downloading images through the Canon EOS Utility manager and have to import the photos in a folder into Lightroom.
So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

Can Premiere Pro smart render footage from a Canon 5D mark III ?

I already read that Premiere Pro can smart render certain codecs. But I want to know exactly: Can it smart render the video from a Canon 5D mark III?
In case smart render is not very specific: I'm asking if it can export the footage after cutting without rencoding it by just saving the individual frames into a new video container with the same codec. This should increase export time alot.
I'm asking because I have Premiere Elements and this feature would be the only reason for me to switch to Pro. I currently need 40 Minutes to render 10 Minutes. As a journalist I need to be faster.

Do you have any other tips how to boost export speed? I don't need the video to be small. I only do a raw edit where I cut out the junk. Quality loss should be minimal and speed ist most important.
Its hard to know if your export speed is normal or otherwise without some detail from you for comparison.
Hardware, system, OS and current export settings and times etc..
Generally the system and set up will determine the speed and editing experience.
5D footage should be no problem at all to a decent system ( and setup)
If you do a test export for us...tell us how long the export takes for how much footage . eg 1 minute footage = X export time.
No Effects.

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!

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

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.

Documentation seems to be no help.
Any ideas?

How to import Raw files from the Canon 5D Mark III into PSE12? [was: cr2]

I have Photoshop Elements 12 and I can't import Canon 5D Mark III CR2 files.

Not sure what you mean by view the photos? Are they showing in the camera raw dialog when you choose a CR2 file from the menu in expert mode:
File >> Open
What computer and operating system are you using?
Can you try shooting a couple of new CR2 files and then put them into a folder on your hard drive rather than the external drive. Can you import from that location using the Organizer menu:
File >> Get photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders

Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw?

I Purchased the Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, Mac Pro server update to Lion, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw? My workflow has trippled in time because of this issue. I'm so frustrated with having to convert images in a slowed up piece of crap canon software package and then wait another decade for the newest LR to load the images I could crap fire! Come on Adobe, where's the release? After a few grand you'd think we'd get a better response time. As for Canon, they are not consistant with community software sharing and can kiss my *!! because to leave Adobe hanging sux!
There should be new laws that penalize jerks that screw with workflow!
Time is money, let's go Adobe!

"so there are no Adobe staff here to see your rant."
Oh, they're here and they see it...
BTW this might help?
