EOS 5D mark 3 exposure metering problem

Today, I got a problem with my 5D mark 3. I was using my 5D mark 3 and speedlite on Camera. After finished shooting, I took off the flash from the camera and shot it in Program mode (P) without flash, and auto ISO setting. I found out that my camera's exposure meter is getting wrong. The result image is too much underexposed even the metre show the exposure value 0. I changed the setting to Aperture Priority mode (Av), I still have the same problem. Then I tried the Shutter Priority mode (Tv), I still have the same problem, so I tried to shoot with Manual mode and I found out that I need to shot in five stop over to see the image. In other settings, Shutter speed is getting to high (or) the aperture is too narrow for the low light condition even when the ISO is 100.
Then I tried to shoot it while LCD is on. The exposure meter reading is correct and get the right exposure. No problem at all. But when I shoot while LCD is off, I got the problem again. Too much under exposed. I tried to shoot with flash. The result is OK.
I think my camera is still thinking that it's attached with the flash, but I don't know how to solve the problem. I tried to reset all the setting but I still got the problem. I couldn't find any post for that problem on internet (may be I don't know how to find).
Can anyone help me how to solve that problem ?
Thanks & Regards

Thanks for posting those images with EXIF data intact.
I recommend you contact Canon service to arrange for repair. Your "meter" believes you are receiving an extreme or possibly infinite amount of light and isn't just metering high (and underexposing by a stop or two.)
Here's why:
Your first shot is a "manual" exposure.
You used:
Manual
1/12 sec
f/4
ISO 10000
You would have to pick all of these settings.
Your second shot used Aperture priority. This means you get to pick the aperture, the camera will pick the shutter speed.
Aperture priority
1/8192 sec <- camera picked this value
f/4 <- you picked this value.
ISO 10000
As you can see, the camera pixed the fastest shutter speed possible. I suspect it would have chosen an even faster speed if only it were possible.... but 1/8192 is the limit for that camera.
Your third shot used shutter priority.
Shutter priority
1/21 sec <- you picked (you probably picked 1/20th but it got rounded by the EXIF data)
f/22 <- camera picked this... but note the high f-stop value. That's the smallest available aperture on the lens.
ISO 10000
As you can see here, the camera tried to constrain the light as much as possible by setting the smallest aperture opening (highest f-stop value) the lens can provide.
And that brings us to your final example... Program AE
Program
1/8192 sec <- camera picked this value
f/22 <- camera picked this value too
ISO 10000
As you can see... everytime you give the camera control over the setting... it does everything it can do to cut the light.
This is not merely an example of exposure compensation being a stop or two below standard... your camera thinks it needs to do everything it can to reduce the light. It's as though the meter believes it is getting an infinite amount of light.
This is not a camera setting we can "adjust" (we can control the meter within a few stops). This is an issue which would need professional repair.

How do I Remotely Control my Canon EOS-1D Mark II Camera?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a driver or a piece of software that I can download to remotely view and remotely control my Canon EOS-1D Mark II digital camera from my MacBook Pro? The drivers that Canon provides only work on PPC platform, not Intel (to the best of my knowledge), and I can't seem to find an alternative. I even tried the trial version of Phase One's Capture Pro, but it didn't work with the camera!
I know this may not be the correct forum to place this question, but didn't exactly know where else to go with it! Please if someone can please help I'd be eternally grateful! The way I have my camera mounted is nearly impossible to accurately view the object through the viewfinder without climbing up the side of a wall!! Any help, ideas, or suggestions will be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions
The PPC software should run on the Intel Machine using the Rosetta emulation. Try it and see. Some cameras can be controlled - at least pics can be taken - via Image Capture (It's in your Applications Folder). From the Image Capture Help:
Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
Connect your camera, and click Download Some.
Click Take Picture.
The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
If you don't see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the icon to the toolbar.
If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera does not support this feature.
This works with my Canon S2.

Opening EOS 5D Mark II is CS4?

I wonder if somebody could help me please. I would like to buy photoshop CS4 for my husband for his birthday (just a couple of weeks a way), but I don't know if it's the right thing or not. My husband has just upgraded his camera (from an EOS 5D to an EOS 5D Mark II), he's never had a problem opening the EOS 5D images in photoshop cs3, but can't open the EOS 5D Mark II images. I read that he needs camera raw 5, but that is only compatable with cs4. Is this true? What he wants to do is take a photo with his camera and then open the raw file in photoshop without loosing any quality at all (I guess this will mean keeping it as a psd?). Will cs4 do that?
Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions but I really want to get the right thing for him.
Thanks in advance.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Does the CS4 Master collection come with it? And if so, where can I find it? If not, is there a workaround to deal with the RAW files to be able to work with them?
Yikes, I'm caught! I admit, I personally haven't used the DNG converter, so I don't know if it's on the DVDs for the Suite. I would think it SHOULD be, and if it is, it'd be on the last DVD, probably in the "Goodies" folder. If not, there are a couple of workarounds: the main one is to grab the disc that came with your 5D Mark II and install DPP (Canon's Digital Photo Professional). It's the software Canon provides to work with RAW files. You can save the RAW file as a TIFF, then deal with it in Photoshop at that point. In fact, you can open Bridge, and tell it to open your new TIFF file in Camera RAW so you can apply many of the same edits as with a RAW file.
Just curious, can't you open your RAW files straight away with Camera RAW? You have the CS4 Suite, and that's compatible with 5D2 RAW files...

Canon EOS 5D Mark 111 camera and I currently use CS4 Photoshop/Bridge

I just purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark 111 camera and I use CS$ Photoshop/Bridge. Will I need to upgrade my software to make it work with my camera?
What do I do?

Adobe currently offers two versions of Photoshop:
CS6 (perpetual license: pay once, own forever: no upgrades)
CC (Cloud version: subscription only: all upgrades are free)
CS6 is superseded software. Adobe is no longer working on it. However CS6 is still being offered for sale for those who want it. However, since CS4 is not eligible for an upgrade to CS6, you're faced with paying full price for CS6.
The CC option requires a monthly fee but it's the current version. It's the next major version after CS6. New and enhanced features are added to CC regularly.
If neither the full priced CS6 nor the Cloud CC version are for you then the free DNG converter is your other option so you can continue using CS4.
You download the free Adobe DNG converter http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
Then you must open all 5D Mark III Raw files in the converter and convert to DNG. That adds an extra step to your workflow. Then you can edit the DNGs in CS4.
Quality-wise DNG files = Raw files. Raw files are manufacturer and camera specific. DNGs are open source. Any software which reads DNG files can read them.

•Canon EOS 5D Mark II Raw Files Won't Open?

I use PE 11 and normally shoot with Nikon cameras. I recently used a friend's Canon #EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon Raw files will not open. I found a Camera Raw plug-in (5.2) that addresses this but am concerned this plug-in will override the camera raw plug-in already installed to read my Nikon files. Is this a valid concern?

Thanks for your response. What I think the problem was had to do with a couple of corrupted files. The jpg versions displayed correctly but the raw files did nothing when they were selected. I deleted 4 files that would not display and then randomly selected another which did. All the remainder of 46 files display in PE. I might have a bad CF card on my hands even though it is new. I’ll send it to Lexar for examination.
Good to know the question forum works. Thanks.

How to define in different controls device and channels in a DAQmx function?

Hi,
I need to build a vi that permits the user to change the device of a DAQmx acquisition system, although I don't want that the user modify the input channels. I`d like to know if it is possible to define in different controls device and channels.
[]´s
Juliana

Hello Juliana,
What you would like to do is possible with some simple string manipulation. First you will need a Device Name constant from the DAQmx >> Advanced >> DAQmx Constants & Property Nodes palette. Right-click on the constant and turn it into a control. Then, use a concatenate strings function to join the device name with the rest of the characters you need to define your input channels. Wire the output of the concatenate strings VI to your DAQmx Create Channel VI.
Let me know if you have any questions on this.
Thanks,
Laura

Photoshop Elements cannot open Camera RAW from Canon EOS 7D Mark ii

I just bought Canon EOS 7D mark ii camera. I have Photoshop Elements 12. The program is unable to open RAW images.The message is "the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of camera Raw".
I downloaded 8.7.1 plugin but that is also not able to open the image.

You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7 Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in PSE12 (keep your CR2's as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

.mov files from - Canon EOS 5D Mark ll - iPod Nano

I am looking at purchasing both these items with their promise to
deliver video files in the .mov format.
I am wondering whether anyone can confirm that is a 1-step transfer
into FCP, or is there fine print I need to read ? I understand going in
that the video quality of the Nano will be what it is, but wonder also
if anyone has experience with the video coming out of the Canon EOS 5D
Mark II ?
Thanks for any help,

.mov Files from Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Ipod Nano

Let's get into a little more detail.
The moniker ".mov" doesn't really mean much. It means "a movie that QT can play back" - a very generic statement. Saying that a movie is a QuickTime movie is saying nothing of the underlying codec. You might have a hundred movie files with the ending ".mov" and they could all be using different codecs like: Motion Jpeg, DV, XDCam, DVCPro, DVCPro HD, H.264 and so on.... So to answer the question, "...Does the fact that it is already an .mov file make it more of a drag and drop thing?" The answer is, No. Here's why:
The 5D (and 7D) shoot a ".mov" file, yes. But specifically it's of the H.264 flavor. This is a burdensome codec. It's processor intensive. It's not meant for editing, it's meant for delivery. Furthermore, if there are going to be advances with it's native editability it's going to happen at the happen on hardware and software that are of the most current standards. And besides, that's still a big if.
There are no current machines that have true drag-drop-edit (without pain) the raw Canon .mov files. If you're thinking your current computer can't handle "hi-def footage" then it most certainly won't handle the (HD) camera native files. That doesn't mean you can't edit the footage. You'll just be back to what's been mentioned before: transcoding. You can always transcode to the highest quality codec that your Mac can handle and edit in that format. DVCPro HD? DV, at least! Don't know - whatever your machine can handle.
Summary: Native 5D camera files ---> FCP = painful, even with newest hardware/software. Rule is transcode. This is the only way people are efficiently working with this footage right now.
Footage Quality - it's quite nice! There's tons of video all over Vimeo with it now. It's a great concept that will only get better. Snoop around here too. There are tons of sample footage on the web. It is highly compressed though. All that info, and with tiny files, the information is going someplace! Being discarded. Learning to maximize an environment's given conditions will lead to minimizing the camera's inherent artifacts.
The next question to ask yourself is do you want this camera mostly for the HD movie mode or photography? The new 7D has some compromises compared to the 5D but has some things that the 5D doesn't, yet. Like framerates. The 5D is, for now, strictly 30P, while the 7D sports 24P, 25P 30P and 50P & 60P at 720P (instead of the full 1920x1200).
Hopefully that answers some questions regarding FCP dealing with the native camera files. Other than that: 5D or 7D? Both have some worthwhile merits to consider.

EOS 5D Mark III ratings don't transfer to LR 4.1

I can't see that ratings transfer to Adobe Lightroom 4.1, but they do transfer to Canon DPP just fine. I think I've looked through all EXIF and IPTC fields and can't find the ratings data anywhere in LR. Where is it supposed to show in Lightroom?
My workflow:
- Rate RAW images in EOS 5D Mark III on compact flash
- Remove compact flash form 5D and plug in to USB card reader.
- Import in Lightroom 4.1 using LR's import function (on Windows Vista 32-bit SP3)
I can't see any ratings in LR, but when looking at the images in DPP and in Windows Explorer (with latest Canon RAW codec) the ratings are there. As I can see the ratings in DPP and Explorer it feels like a setting in Lightroom isn't right.
Any help on this issue would be great.

That might be true, but I've read on numerous sites (e.g. http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii/, http://mansurovs.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-review, http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/star_ratings_set_in_5d_mark_iii_not_ transferred_to_lightroom_v4) that in-camera ratings are transferred to LR. It just doens't seem to work for me.
Any help on this issue is very welcome.

Hi WC!
Thanks for posting on the forum.
It is very likely that the issue is with the cards you have tried and not the camera.
You mentioned that you were going to try a faster card.
Were you able to do so yet?
If so, how did the faster card perform?
Do you experience the same issue when recording to a high-speed CF card instead of an SD card?

Comment importer des fichiers RAW de mon EOS 7D Mark II

Bonjour,
Je viens de recevoir mon nouvel EOS 7D Mark II et je n'arrive pas à importer mes fichiers RAW sur Lightroom.
Quelqu'un a t-il une idée ?
Merci par avance.

You will have to wait for the next update of Lightroom. In the meantime, you can use the software that came with the camera to create TIF copies of your raw files and then import those TIF files into Lightroom.
