Canon Rebel T3 EOS Flash and Auto Mode Problems: Help Me!

I recently got a job as a photographer for the nightlife in my city. I went out and tried to shoot the other night. My camera isn't broken, but I had it in auto (green rectangle) and when I'd hit the shutter button, it would just flash, looking like it was having a seizure, and not take the picture. It eventually took the photos, but it flashed in their faces like 3 times before it actually took the photo. People cursed me out and it was awful. Why won't my camera just take the picture the first time??? Why does it say it's "busy" and how do I know when to take the photo to avoid pissing people off? Also, when I went to the "no flash" seting, it took the picture with no problem, but I absolutely NEED the flash to work. Please help me!

Bob has nailed it.... when auto-focus is enabled and the camera is using "One Shot" mode (the default focus mode), the camera will NOT take a photo until it can confirm that it was able to lock focus.  To help the camera focus, it will attempt to use the pop-up flash and strobe it very quickly to create something which is more-or-less about 1 seconds worth of continuous light. You'll want an external speedlite flash for two reasons... 1)  Several external flash models include a "focus-assist" beam.2)  The external speedlite models are significantly more powerful than the built-in pop-up flash and can handle subjects at much greater distances. Normally I'd suggest a Canon Speedlite 430EX II... but Canon recently announced it replacement will be available in mid-septermber.  The 430EX III-RT ... and it's the same price (the new model has a radio receiver and can triggered via radio instead of optical (optical triggers require line-of-sight... radio does not.)  I'd much rather have the radio-eqiupped version. The focus-assist beam in the flash illuminates a red-pattern momentarily while the camera is focusing.  This beam allows the camera to focus even in total darkness.  It doesn't have to pulse the flash to work as a modeling light to achieve focus (it's actually much better than the 1-second long burst of light.)

    The Video automatically stops recording after a few seconds. I have a PNY Performance 16 GB 3.5hr HD VIdeo it also says 4 with a circle around it and I don't know if that means Class 4 or not ? I just got this camera a week ago. Can you please help ?.

    Good luck!  Incidentally, Canon does not specifically recommend a brand... but the SanDisk and Lexar brands seem to be the best (and even within these they have a variety of performance specs.)  e.g. "SanDisk Extreme" or "SanDisk Extreme Pro", etc.  
    I do see enough posts from people who have cards which are supposed to be fast enough... but sitll give them problems.  But the problems tend to go away when they buy a high quality brand.  For this reason, I tend to not mess around with budget cards -- sometimes saving a few bucks just isn't worth the grief.
    Glad you are liking your new camera!

  • Canon Rebel T1i External Flash

    Hey,
    I was looking into buying in external flash for my Canon Rebel T1i and was wondering if the Canon - Speedlite 600EX-RT External Flash was compatable or what everyone else recomends.  Any help would be great.
    Thanks.
    Chris

    I say.... YES, get the 600ex if can afford it.

    I use the Nikon version, but flagship flashes give you
    added power for bounce lighting, diffusers, or light modifiers
    servo's that can change/focus the light pattern for zoom lenses
    more drop resistant than regular lenses
    ability to plug in external batteries for quicker recycling
    The only time when I won't use a high-end flash... is when I need added power of a "barebulb" like my Quantum Trio.

    Hi

    Check in BIOS the temp to which the fans are set to increase. If it is low (30-40) increase it to 45-50c.

    iMac Sleep Problem Waking - Screen Black & Pixelization
    Have a new BTO 27" iMac I received a couple of weeks ago. Of course it is running Lion 10.7....
    I am having a screen problem "waking" my iMac. (I also have this problem randomly on my MB Air - mid 2011 model)
    After the iMac is in true sleep mode
    (I have it set to enter a password after sleep mode)
    Screen is blank/off
    I "wiggle" my mouse or trackpad
    Screen is still blank (sometimes it may display my screen saver, but the screensaver is frozen)
    If I start moving the mouse or trackpad, it starts "un painting" the black screen. You can see whatever is supposed to be on the screen, such as the logon "button".
    It is really wierd. Like a black "overlay" is painted on the resume from sleep screen. As I move my mouse or trackpad, it is basically erasing the black, to show what is underneath. Each movement of the mouse, erases a small black square.
    I usually move my mouse around the middle of the screen to uncover the logon button. Press the logon button. The screen magically reappears as normal. I enter my password and system logs back on normally.
    It only seems to be when the iMac is in really deep sleep mode. If the screen is just blank for an hour or so. I move the mouse/trackpad, and the logon screen is immediately displayed normally.
    Any thoughts or recommendations?
    Thanks to all in advance.

    Still experimenting.
    If certain programs are running (ie Firefox), then I don't have a problem coming out of deep sleep. It gives me a message when I reenter my password, that Firefox prevented the system from logging off.
    Does that additional information help? It is a really annoying problem. And since I have it on my MBA, I am concerned it is more widespread. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Black Screen and "Erasure" with Mouse.
    I am having this same problem. I am using the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, not using a screen saver, and it happens sporadically upon trying to wake my iMac from sleep mode. The screen is black, and as you move the mouse over the screen, it "erases" the black, like the opposite of a blackboard, to reveal the login name and picture underneath. After that everything works fine. There is no pattern to this that I can discern (e.g. - happens every fifth time, only happens when a program isn't running etc.). It appears random, but is uber annoying, and behaves like a virus. I have Norton Antivirus, and it updates daily, and upon scanning states no virus is found. I also do system scan with MacKeeper, and it scans, says system is excellent. Something is definitely going on, I just wish I knew what it was. If anyone has any knowledge of this, any solution or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    That's because there are no Mac OS X viruses. You should uninstall Norton. You don't need 3rd party antivirus apps to protect your Mac from malware. Macs are not immune to malware, but no true viruses exist in the wild that can run on Mac OS X, and there never have been any since it was released 10 years ago. The only malware in the wild that can affect Mac OS X is a handful of trojans, which can be easily avoided with some basic education, common sense and care in what software you install. Also, Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Lion have anti-malware protection built in, further reducing the need for 3rd party antivirus apps.

    You don't need MacKeeper, either. You really don't need "cleaner" or "maintenance" apps to keep your Mac running well, and some of these apps can do more harm than good. Most only remove files/folders or unused languages or architectures, which does nothing more than free up some drive space. It will not make your Mac run faster or more efficiently, since having stuff stored on a drive does not impact performance, unless you're running out of drive space.
    Mac OS X does a good job of taking care of itself, without the need for 3rd party software.
    Your problem, and the OP's is a graphics problem, likely having to do with the screensaver, not a malware problem.

    Norton Antivirus, and what does it mean?
    I suppose one reason I developed a concern that there was more here than meets the proverbial eye, so to speak was a message that I have received through Norton on multiple occasions. The last message of similar stated messages reads as follows (Norton Antivirus 2.2.1 (5) ): "Vulnerability blocked, December 13th, 2011, 8:57 P.M. When I click on "View Recent Activities", a window is opened that is titled "Activity Log." There, four columns are listed, titled from left to right "Date", "Event Type", "Result", and "Details." Under the December 13th episode, It lists "Portscan" under Event type, "Result" gives an IP Address (192.168.x.xxx), and "Incoming" under details.
    I am admittedly a neophyte in the Mac world, having switched over from Windows 7 to Mac recently, but am intent on educating myself to the not-so-subtle differences. The above information that Norton displayed would lead one to believe that their antivirus software is protecting my iMac, and that its subsequent removal would have perhaps disastrous results ( i.e. - my iMac would be susceptible to said "Vulnerability", whatever it is, and that "Incoming would NOT be blocked). I had a conversation with Norton because previously, every time the stated "Vulnerability" attempted access, I was interrupted by a pop-up screen informing me of this. The Norton representative was able to turn off the pop-up screen notification, but stated that it would continue to log episodes of the "Vulnerability" when it attempted to portscan and access. So am I to understand that uninstalling Norton would leave my computer no less vulnerable to this vulnerability? It is confusing to me.
    Furthermore, I suppose I did wonder if this vulnerability threat had anything to do with the issue of the black screen erasure with the mouse. I will attempt to post a picture of the screen as it was being erased with the mouse, and perhaps a short movie as well. As previously stated, I do not have a screen saver enabled. Thank you for your input, any information is helpful to me! _

    Ditto & FYI Workaround
    UncHeel...
    Thanks for posting the picture. It is same as my iMac problem. On my iMac, it happens 100% of the time. On my MBA, it happens randomly like yours.
    I began to notice if certain programs were running, when it went into screen saver and sleep mode, this didn't happen. And when I woke it up, I got a message that said "could not be logged off due to Firefox or Sketchbook Pro, etc. So that got me to thinking. So....
    Over the weekend, I disabled "logoff after xx minutes of activity" in system preferences. That seems to fix the issue. I still have it set to require a password after the screen saver/sleep mode kicks it. But I disabled the logoff toggle.
    Still not sure what this is an issue, but seems to be a work around. I just want to make sure my iMac is still going into sleep with these new settings. Including the monitor sleep.
    Any thoughts based on this new information?
    Thanks again

    You have to remember that many antivirus apps consider cookies to be a "vulnerability" or "threat", when they're not. The only malware in the wild that can affect Mac OS X requires the user to actively install it. As long as a user is reasonably careful about where they get software, there is no need for 3rd party antivirus apps to protect Mac OS X from malware. Just make sure your firewall is enabled (System Preferences > Security > Firewall), and disable Java in your browser (Safari > Preferences > Security > Enable Java (uncheck))

    You can let it sleep without logging off. That way, your apps/documents are still open when you wake it up, rather than having to relaunch apps and reopen documents. Recovery from sleep is much faster than from logging off.

    I have had the same problem on my mid-2010 iMac since upgrading to Lion and it's been driving me nuts. The relation to automatic Logoff makes sense to me now that I look at my settings. The logoff was occurring after sleep and it's the only thing I haven't tried yet. I had previously thought it was related to Sleep but it never occurs if I force it to sleep. It only occurs after the system was left unattended and went through it's normal steps of screensaver then sleep. I'll try disabling the automatic Logoff and see if it fixes the problem for me too.

    I can only declare partial success with unpicking "logoff after xx". It solved the pixelated screen issue but now the computer is not sleeping. I guess I'll have to uncheck file sharing now.

    I can't seem to pin down the cause and have tried the steps suggested previously. Thanks!

    Still having the same issue here as well.
    Have any of you tried a clean install of OSX?
    Before I try a full reinstall I did an install on a external drive with no aps, just the bare install and I could not replicate the issue.
    I continue to question if this is a graphics card firmware issue or and OS issue.
    A reinstall (overlay) of the OS did not resolve the issue.
    I have screen shots as follows:
    1) Paint pixels on screen

    Having the same issue
    I have four MacBooks and a MacBook Air. I am seeing this issue on two MacBooks both running Lion 10.7.3. One is a newer i5 MacBook the other is an early 2010. The only common denominator I can think of is they are both set up with Parental Controls and they are set to logoff after X amount of time. The other MacBooks don't have this "pixel painting to revel the login screen issue" I also don't see it on our iMacs or the MacMini. Only the two with the issue are set to auto logoff. So the above poster is most likely on to something. I will give it a try by turning off the auto logoff on the two MacBooks in question. If that solves the problem then I will assume its a bug that needs to be addressed.

    wchp - Thank you for following up and posting the screenshots. They match exactly what I was experiencing (and what UNCHeelYeah reported previously). I can confirm that I experienced the issue even following a clean reinstall of Snow Leopard on my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011).
    jrobin - "I will give it a try by turning off the auto logoff on the two MacBooks in question. If that solves the problem then I will assume its a bug that needs to be addressed."
    Good thinking! Thanks for taking the time to test with your machines. This will help provide further validation of what gswilder (OP) tried as well in reply #6. Interesting about Parental Controls, too.
    Side note:
    Since I recently joined the Apple Developers program, I did a clean install of SL on my MBA then upgraded via the App Store to Mountain Lion to "kick-the-tires" if you will. Interestingly, I've not yet experienced any issue related to waking from sleep with a black screen and pixilation, even while running all the same apps I had previously. I'll report here (and file a bug report with Apple) if I do see this issue pop-up in ML. I'll be reinstalling SL in a few weeks and will report back if/when the black screen and pixelation issue reappears. I'll be sure to note the applications left running at the time the computer went to sleep.

    I have experienced the same issue with my brand new MBA Late 2011.
    I recently found out that this only happens when DISPLAY is set to go to sleep minutes before the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity". I had "Display sleep" option set to 5 minutes and "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity" and this causes the display to go to sleep first (screen goes black) and then, 5 minutes later, it logs out.
    If "Display sleep" is off and "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, the issue does not replicate. So Im thinking it has something to do with the screen being black at the moment it logs out. Can you try and replicate that?
    Thanks

    Just tested this premise and yes, you are correct.
    IF: Screen saver ON after 5m AND require password immediately AND Sleep (Display) after 30m AND Logout after 60m I am able to reproduce the problem.
    IF: Screen Saver ON after 5m AND require password immediately AND Sleep (Display) after 30m AND Logut after xx NOT enabled, problem goes away
    IF: Screen Saver ON after 5m AND require password immediately AND Sleep (Display) OFF AND Logut after 60M enabled, problem goes away
    So on my machine (iMac 27, 3.4/i7, 16GB/1333, Radeon 6970m/2048MB, OSX 10.7.3
    It would appear that if I am running Monitor Sleep and it kicks in prior to LogOff then I am able to reproduce this artifact. Only Display sleep with immediate login OR Loguot should be used but not both.
    The only other thing to test is is I leave display sleep on, and screen saver on but with NO immediate password and enable logoff if the problem goes away.
    Testing for another day.
    I have linked this entire thread to a Apple support ticket and will report back on Apples response

    Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
    Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
    I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

  • Canon EF-S 18-55 random auto focus problem

    Hello I have been working with Canon EF-S 18-55 NON IS lenes and have found a problem I can't seen to solve. The problem is that I do get auto focus but at certain points it will not focus. I have changed the board with a known good one, The motor assembly, The contacts with good looking ones from working units but not the contact strip as they look good. The assembly moves freely with little resistance. I have also seen this problem on IS versions too but mainly on the non IS versions. I'm looking for any other suggestion that might solve the problem.

    Yes I do and have had very good success in repairing them but I have a few that just defy me and have this problem.

BUT if i moved the (thing you see where you are on the timeline in need of a better name) it started loading a little more and then it stoped again.. so after alot of problems and moving i managed to make a RAM preview of the whole composition..
    now the real problem: when i was done with my project and i was going to reender i did like this: i added my composition to the render queue, chosed my render settings and started to render, after exactly 37 frames it stoped and no window or anything poped up, the only thing that was telling me something was wrong was the render status, and it said: ''failed at 0;00;00;37'' that's not even a second! and BTW when i render after effects only uses 12% of my 6GB RAM memory.. i dont know what to do! i've tried other render settings but the same thing happens! can anyone help me?
    BTW i'm swedish and only 14 so i might misspelled something..

    Start here and make sure that you understand how RAM preview is supposed to work first:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/424030
    What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? What kind(s) of source footage? Has this ever worked before? What other software are you running? Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Are you rendering with OpenGL?
    What are your Memory & Multiprocessing settings? Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?

  • Battery for canon Rebel xti eos 400D

    where do I find the battery that runs the date and time?

    Hi gorja55,
    Thank you for the post.  The date/time battery is inside the battery compartment of the camera.  If you remove the battery that powers the camera, along the front edge of the battery compartment you should see a slide out battery holder tray that has "CR2016 3V" written on it.  If you slide the tray out, you can replace the CR2016 lithium battery that holds the date/time settings in the camera.
    If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

  • KT6V and AGP mode problem

    Hi,
    I have MSI KT6V motherboard and I'm using latest bios version(2.0) with it. Problem is that I have MSI Radeon X1950 pro AGP card that won't work AGP 8X mode(it's same thing with 3 different other motherboards that I have used, with different chipsets etc. On AGP 4X mode it works like a charm).
    With this motherboard I can't change AGP mode. It's always on AUTO(option is "grayed out" and cannot be changed). So is there anything that I can do? From my earlier experiences I know that graphic card works but only on AGP 4X mode.

    What PSU have you got?
    What is the GPU temp.?
    But in fact I think the problem is with driver. Like been suggested Fast Write off.
    Right now I using Antec True 480P PSU. Other component are:
    -MSI KT6V
    -AMD Sempron 3000+ with Thermaltake Extreme Volcano 12(default clocks, temp about 40°C under load)
    -2XCORSAIR DDR 512MB 400MHZ CL2.5
    -Leadtek 6600GT 128Mb
    -Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (80 Gt, 7200 RPM) ST380215A PATA
    -SB Live!
    -XP Pro 32-bit SP3
    Everything works just fine. When I change video card to MSI X1950 Pro everything seems to be working until I try to launch any 3D application(game, 3DMark etc.) the screen goes black(no error message, no reboot). I have used many drivers, like Ati 8.7 or Omega. I have tested them and they work with that card in other configurations.
    "Black screen" could be related to insufficient PSU but believe me, it's not the case with this one. That video card have always behaved like that with every motherboad that I have tried(ASRock 775Dual-VSTA/939Dual-SATA2 and couple of others) regardless what other components there are(PSU, memory etc.). Problem occurs only when using AGP 8X mode. If AGP is lowered to 4X problem disappears.
    That's why I'm so obsessed with this AGP mode issue. I have tried clear CMOS but AGP mode stays greyed out(actually is "blued out") and cannot be changed. Other AGP options, like Fast Write have always been OFF.
    If I remember correctly, with some older bios and Radeon 9000 Pro, I had an option to change AGP mode. So maybe one possibility is to flash it back to older bios.

  • Wmode transparent and blend mode problem

    Dear all,
    I'm stuck with this problem so far, got headache after searching many days on google without solution. Our designer using blend mode: screen (in flash) for some movies and the flash's transparent to save the file size display and then ưe are using html background. All'r working fine for wmode transparent but in Internet Explorer, it's not working to display the blend mode and appear the black background. You can check the image below to see what happen:
    Loading the movies within blend mode screen
    Transparent's working fine with the normal transparent
    Test blend mode with opaque wmode to see how it will display
    I've tested with IE7, 8, 9. I'm using window 7 Ultimate, 64bit, Flash player latest version. (And my clients, friends, also got that issues when seeing it with IE).
    My embed code:
    <object width="1000" height="600" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" > 
    <param value="high" name="quality"></param>
    <param value="intro.swf" name="movie"></param>
    <param value="opaque" name="wmode"></param>

    </object>
    We can solve it manually that put the image background into the flash but it's not the good way to do it in our modern web industry.
    Any solution?

    dont why i can't submit in the bugbase, it's just hanged out though i submit all the required information T.T
    Update: the bug only with IE9. (i concerned IE 7, 8 because i've tested it by IE9 development tool, not real IE 7, 8). Today i've tried testing with real IE7, 8 and it's working fine.

  • Cache as bitmap and blend modes problems

    Hello,
    I have little problem here. Let's say I have movieClip mc1 and inside it has movieClip mc2 (nested). If I set any blend mode to mc2 and then turn cacheAsBitmap on for mc1, the blend mode is not displayed at all. I have noticed this problem in flash cs3 as well as cs4. Is there any workaround how to make this work?

    regarding your second question:
    -according to the docs, yes it should be the same. but according to some users opinion here on the forum, no. Aparently there is a performance difference if you set the cacheAsBitmap property on a Bitmap.

  • Flash Player Auto-update problems

    Hi,
    In our environment we have Win 7 64bit Pro PCs, IE10 and users are NOT administrators.  We install Flask Player 11.8.x using the MSI silent switches, with the autoupdate service disabled, the scheduled task for auto-update deleted and the MMS.CFG file configured to AutoUpdateDisable=1.
    My current problem is that some users have now been prompted to upgrade their Flash player.  This occurs during logon with task manager showing "FlashUtil32_11_8_800_168_ActiveX.exe /update activex" as an active process.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing the autoupdate?  IS it possibly casued by Internet Explorer initiating the ocx? Any ideas welcome.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Andy

    I should have also mentioned that if a user clicks [Install]
    and follows the instructions, after being taken to the Flash
    download page and trying to install, our own Flash detection code
    no longer works. This means our users are prevented from launching
    our app.
