Canon 6D Back button auto focus and ISO settings

I was curious why when I am shooting in TV mode and I am using the back button auto focus that the camera will automatically change the ISO setting that I set. Is there something that I have missed in the settings or is this an automatic feature that can not be turned off?

Sounds like you have safety shift set in a custom function
Check C.Fn 1-6 Safety Shift - you may have it set to 2 - ISO Speed

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue?

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue? Or just return back to my very much trusted Rebels?

Very much appreciate your taking time to send a response. As a new user I wasn't sure if anyone would bother. Allow me to add a little more to my first post. I fit in that niche between amateur and a person with clients. For over 10 years I have covered events for a non-profit agency capturing the look and feel of 20+ events per year and was given permission to purchase a few cameras over the year. My decision from the beginning was to use the Canon Rebel. Images were spot on and only once did I have an issue with one of them (after shooting outside events in 105 degree temps for 3 days).
So, when I retired a year ago it was for me a pretty simple choice to get a Canon for myself - especially since at that time the 70D was on the cover of magazines and was very highly touted. I also did a lot of desktop publishing and photo editing which helped me realize I wanted the best sensor, sharpness, resolution and lens I could afford - the 70D. My post was actually a result of reading many online responses including your very informative replies about the 70D focusing issues. My biggest concern is that I will spend several hundred dollars and maybe, just maybe get back a camera which captures better focused images, but still not as sharp as the lower end Rebels I was using. I had hoped to purchase my first "L" lens and really get excited - not repair the most expensive camera I've bought to date.
Thanks again and before it gets noted by someone...yes, I should have pushed this issue sooner and then at least the warranty would have covered the cost. An expensivve lesson learned. But I will have to add that at least one authorized Canon repair dealer told me they have had several folks feel like I did - that it was the photographer/me as a new user having the issue and not the camera. I now know it's my camera.
Let me clarify that I don't own a 70D, so anything I say about it is from watching what others have said, mainly in this forum. But it is disconcerting to see so much complaint about a camera that's supposed to have an innovative focusing system. One is strongly tempted to suspect that they went overboard in trying to make the camera serve both still photographers and videographers.
That said, I'm not a great fan of the Rebel line, because they lack autofocus microadjustment and I have at least one otherwise excellent Canon lens that would be useless without it. (The 70D does have AFMA, a point in its favor.)
As far as spending the $280 for the repair, I understand why it's a hard call. If I were in your shoes and were convinced that Canon understands the issue and would fix it correctly and permanently, I guess I'd go for it. If you don't think they do, but fell that you need something a cut above the Rebels, this may be a good time to buy a leftover or refurbished 7D. Even though I now have a 5D3, I still use my 7D's a fair amount and have been very happy with them. And the 7D2 has gotten such a favorable reception that's it's almost bound to make more 7D's available at a decent price.

In the Navigation toolbar, the Forward/back buttons are dimmed, and the URL bar has "Search Bookmarks and History"

The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

Auto Sync and Sync Settings suddenly greyed out, not accessible?

Hello Folks
This morning I was trying to add some keywords to a library by adding them to one image and then using auto-sync to add to all images, but auto-sync and sync settings are totally greyed out.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I may have done for this to happen.
I am using LR3 on a iMac.
Regards,
Jim

LOL Well, it's a public forum, so consider it helping someone else out when they're not brave enough to ask the question.

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

How do I disable the reload on the back button of Firefox and have it display the cached/prior page version?

Every time I click the "back" button, Firefox reloads the previous page I was on. How do I disable the reload and have Firefox display the cached/prior page version? The whole point of going "back" is to see what we were just looking at.. I don't want a refreshed version of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am running version 3.6.12.

No problem. It's not a request that's been seen much if at all to be honest. I rely on them myself.
You can always feel free to provide feedback to Apple though.

IDVD'08: how to make back button, video chapters and stretch pictures?

Hi!
I am new to iDVD'08 so I have 4 questions:
1) In main menu I created a submenu called "video". It opens new screen with a list of videos. I want to have a back button on this screen too. It should return to a main menu. How can I make it?
2) I have one big movie in iMovie'08 and want to burn it in iDVD'08 with chapters. So that different events in this big movie could be easily selected. I dont want to crop with big movie into pieces in iMovie. So how can I create such a buttons that point to different parts of movie?
3) All that dropzones and buttons with preview are fantastic... But! How can I tune photo assigned to them? You know that picture tuning dialog: when you select photo and then can zoom in/out and move photo. Where such a dialog in iDVD?
4) If I create a button with preview (for example, with a shape of heart) for submenu than folder icon is displayed in that preview. Hoe to place photo or movie just on a preview zone of such button?

Q: I was curious is there a PRO analog of iMovie and iDVD like Aperture comparing to iPhoto.
A: Your only options of apple video editing software (with the exception of QT Pro) are as follows:
1. iMovie 7 (consumer grade video editing software)
2. iMovie 6 (Free Download from apple's web site assuming you own iLife'08)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovieHD6
Also consumer grade however this software is actually better for adding custom chapter markers, exporting back to the camcorder when needed, working with a Timeline, etc.
3. FCE (I consider this app as pro-sumer software mainly because it's better than iMovie and very much like FCP; with the exception that it cannot be used to open existing FCP projects. That can only be done with apple's FCS 2)
4. FCP (part of FCS 2) Apple's Professional / High end Video editing software.

Lost the forward/back button after updating and the home button how do I get back?

Firefox updated to 7 and I lost all of my add ons including the home button and the forward/back button. I was able to get all of my add ons restored except the home button and the forward/back buttons. How do I get them back? Wish now that I had not updated.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Canon camera for action and sports photography?that holds auto focus and more than 7 shots burst

I have been using the Rebel T4i. I've learned that I like action photography. The T4i sometimes misses the frame in burst mode that I would most like to capture..I shoot RAW so can usually get 7 shots a sec...also sometimes my best efforts are still in a soft focus, not crisp...Does anyone have some ideas for an up grade for me...

Just to verify something you may understand but have said incorrectly. The FPS for the 7D mark II is 10 but the BURST rate is listed at 31 RAW or 19 RAW + JPG. I'm just guessing here but I suspect it will also require very fast write speed memory cards to help keep things moving from the buffer to the card quickly enough to be ready for a second or 3rd burst when there's lots of action.
I shoot a lot of action (with a 1D4 but used to use a 7D) and you'd be surprised at just how quickly you can fill a buffer when things get busy.
"A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought."

I have lost the top three lines (toolbars?), containing File, Edit, etc; back button, home, etc; and most visited, etc. How can I get them back?

Somehow, I have deleted the top three rows from my home page. All I have left is the AOL home page. I need to get back the "File, Edit, View,etc." line, and the "Page back arrow, Home icon, etc."

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

FCP "auto resetting" and "current settings"

Hi there,
I am puzzled need help with two questions regarding FCP settings.
Let start with a clip that is shot aas 1440x1080 60i
I create a new FCP project with the following sequence preset :
Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 60i 48 Khz
then I drag my clip in the timeline and get the message telling me that the sequence and the clip settings are not matching and I am offered to "adapt" the sequence settings to the match the clip setting for best results.
First question :
Why is it doing so since I have used the same settings as those of the clip when I created my FCP project ?
If I proceed and then go to "export with QT"
I am offered to use "current settings"
Second question:
Is current setting referring to the "modified settings" that I accepted to match my clip or is it referring to the original settings that I used when I created my sequence ?
Hoping I am clear,
Many thanks in advance.
Ivan

Hi David,
Actually, I use "log and transfert", with "ProRes422" Setting to import the clips from my Sony camera connected with USB to the computer (see attached)
Does this help ?

Canon Auto Focus

Hi All, I was using my Canon 24-70 with the Metabones MK IV adapter. When I put the lense into auto focus and then use the push to auto focus button, the lense would rack focus back and forth but never grab it. Just curious if 1) Is this something that can even be done or does it only work with native E mount lenses and 2) If it should work what am I doing wrong FS7 has FW2.0 and Metabones has current FW. Thanks.

I can confirm that there is still no iris flicker problem with M/B (speedbooster) FW V4.1 PLUS FS-7 FW V2.1. All seems to be running smoothly, and with a snappier feeling menu access/navigation. If you read the thread about FW 2.1 'bugs' in detail, it seems as though almost all the issues were caused by good ol' operator error of some sort or another. I personally recommmend installing the FW update. Cheers, jason

Sometimes my back button is greyed out and does not show the previous page i was just looking at!?

This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.
All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.
However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.
I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site

My daughter downloaded BearShare and I think it corrupted Firefox. I have no bookmarks or Back Button.

I can not get rid of Bearshare. Now my Firefox browser has no Back Button or Bookmarks and Firefox is no longer my default search engine.
