I have Canon EOS 50D...in Manual Setting Indoor sport shots are Blurry

I cant use the automatic sports setting for my camera becuase my F-stop on my lense only goes to 5.4. so i put it in manual mode. I dont know how to set my ISO speed in this manual mode so I'm getting all blurry pics. I have it set to Al Servio, high speed. other settings are automatic..any suggestions appreciated!

There is a limit to what any camera can do. You have found yours. I beleive 3200 is top ISO for the 50D? Even if it has enough light at that ISO, the photos may still not be good. A faster lens, smaller f number, would be a good choice and a place to start looking.
I have a 50D, and I've gotten very decent results with it at ISO 1000, and I think also 1600. But I'd be wary of going higher than that.

I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC. I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card. I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader". Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog." I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos. Any suggestions?

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

Downloading RAW pictures into Lightroom 2.2 from a Canon EOS 50D

I am having problems trying to download pictures either directly from my Canon EOS 50D, or using a LEXAR card reader.
The preview screen in Lightroom shows the thumbnail images (all have the format IMG_0007.CR2 for example), but when I click on Import, it does not find the images. Import results tell me "the files appear to be unsupported or damaged".
I can view all of the original images on the monitor screen of my camera, and they appear to be fine. The same is true for both flash cards I am using (Sandisc Extreme III 16GB and a 2GB). I'm worried that I cannot retrieve about 400 pitures.
Any suggestions??? Many thanks. Ben

Thanks to both Sean and John. Unfortunately I still cannot load the Raw files. I tried loading 2.3RC... no difference. I also tried dragging the images from the card reader on to my extrenal drive and then importing, still no luck. I was taking JPG and Raw images simultaneously. I can load the JPEGs with no problem, it's the Raw files that it tells me are unsupported or damaged (in the message Lightroom gives me.) Maybe the Canon EOS50D is too new for 2.3RC???
Any other ideas??

Camera RAW Support for Canon EOS 50D

I'm trying to read RAW files from the new Canon EOS 50D in Photoshop. I have Camera RAW v4.5 which is stated to work with the previous 40D, but doesn't seem to work with the 50D...
Has anyone managed to read RAW files from an EOS 50D using Photoshop?
I'm on a Windows PC using Photoshop CS3 version 10.0 with the Camera RAW 4.5.0.175 plug in. I've also tried the DNG converter downloaded with that version of Camera RAW (same ver no.) to no avail.
Help gratefully received!

>Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
is not present (or any near equivalent) on my PC.
If you don't have that exact location then the odds are that your Photoshop/Bridge CS3 install is wrong. The location listed is the correct location for XP and Vista 32 bit. If you have Vista 64, then there is a different location. But, if you have XP or Vista 32 and you don't have that exact location already, then you really need to check the CS3 install.
> put the CameraRaw.8bi file into Programs/Adobe/CS3/Plug-ins/File Formats/.
And that's the WRONG place to put it...that location will ONLY allow Photoshop to access it, not Bridge. The Camera Raw plug-in MUST be installed in the CORRECT location for both Photoshop and Bridge.

Lenses for CAnon EOS 50D

Hi
I have recently retired and hope to purchase a Canon Eos 50D shortly.
As a new comer to digital photography I would like advise on lenses to buy please,
as I am totally confused by the array of different lenses on offer.
I need : ,

Fixed Focal Length Lenses
Long-Range-Zoom-Camera-Lenses
Wide angle lense
All assistance appreciated.
I feel you should refer to the range available in Best buy
Thank you in advance
Liam

Are you planning on buying a 50D kit or just the body? Maybe start out with the 50D kit with the 28-135 and buy a 70-300 also. This should give you a good range to start until you find what kind of photography you enjoy. Canon has a good wide angle in the 10-22mm. Its not too expensive ($850 I think).
Lens choices depends on what you are planning to shoot. For example when I shoot weddings (I use Nikon BTW so the lens sizes are Nikon sizes) I use a 14-24 F/2.8 for the formals mainly, 28-70 F/2.8 and a 70-200 F2.8. Alot of times I have to deal with low lighting and some churches actually wont let me use a flash inside the chapel. For motorsports and airshows, I'll bring the 12-24 F/4 (for ground displays at airshows), 70-200 F/2.8, 300mm F/2.8 (for motorsports), 500mm F/4 or the 600mm F/4 for airshows (mostly the 600 goes, but the 500 is fine for the local one since we're closer to the flight box). Senior & family portraits 85mm F/1.4 for seated shots and the 28-70 for the outdoor/hobby shots.

Canon EOS 50D Shoots RAW Video

Canon EOS 50D Cinema Camera!
Magic Lantern has made it possible to shoot RAW video on the 5 year old Canon EOS 50D. The forgotten 15mp APS-C predecessor to the EOS 60D.
The software is very early in development, but at least one person that has shot with the camera and firmware is quite impressed. EOSHD notes that the camera has hardly any moire or aliasing in early tests and the ISO performance is terrific. The larger pixels on the 15mp sensor really do make a positive difference over the 18mp sensor that we’ve had for years now.
Below is a bit of information of what works well with the current software on the EOS 50D.
Resolution & Performance.
Results (24 fps):
1592×1062 – frame skipping after about 50 frames (67.7MB/s)
1592×840 – frame skipping after about 480 frames (53.5MB/s)
1592×720 – no frame skipping (44.3MB/s)
1320×1062 – frame skipping after about 300 frames (56.1MB/s)
1320×960 – frame skipping after about 1200 frames (50.7MB/s)
1320×840 – no frame skipping (44.3MB/s)
1280×1062 – frame skipping after about 250 frames (54.4 MB/s)
1280×960 – no frame skipping (49.2MB/s)
EOS-1 Bodies
Canon doesn’t mention anything about EOS-1 bodies and third party firmware in the above story. However, I have been told Canon would take legal action against anyone publicly releasing unauthorized firmware for the EOS-1 bodies, so this is probably why we haven’t seen any development of such software.

Canon EOS 50D (Raw Files) in Elements 6

I just purchased a new Canon EOS 50D and when I try to upload my images to elements 6 it keeps giving me an error message. (The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer).
Does anybody know that reason why? Do I need to download some kind og driver?

Canon (EOS 50D) Picture Styles in LR41

Hey there,
first let me tell you that I'm familiar with LR concepts. I read a lot about RAW processing, color profiles and stuff. It all makes sense to me.
That having said... I'm unfortunatly quite unhappy with LR's color reproduction. It seems technically very accurate; unfortunatly -- Canon's own "Standard Picture Style" (so OOC JPEGs) are in most cases much nicer to look at, color-wise.
I know it's not me alone having this feeling (just do a quick search).
Adobe provides look-alike profiles (.DCP-files) which are supposed to imitate Canon's Picture Styles. Unfortunatly none of these Adobe-profiles comes close (enough, IMHO) - most annoying thing for me is a strange blue/green cast in darker areas, e.g. shadows in daylight conditions are too bright and too blueish.
Remember, I'm using a EOS 50D (which probably won't get profile updates any more by Adobe, I suppose...)
So here's my question:
Can I assume that Adobe already did the best they can to match Canon's Picture Style?
==> stop dreaming about a "better" "canon-50d-standard.dcp"-file.
Take it or leave it, stop crying.
Or is there a possibility to tweak existing profiles?
==> find out how.
Adobe's DCP editor, dcptool, whatever?
Thanks for your suggestions!
Medon

Hmm, well...
Which one do you like best, which looks worst, and why?
Pictures A/B/C
All three unchanged except for the different applied profiles.
Cheers, Medon
P.S.:
If you'd like to please download them to a folder, so you can flip through them. Side-by-side comparison doesn't reveal the differences so well, IMHO.

Canon EOS 50D

Just announced by Canon, the EOS50D. Relevance to this forum? US pricing in dollars is the same as price in euros, so yet another rip-off for loyal EU customers!

Exactly; Brian, you need to download the LR 2.1 Release Candidate to get 50D beta support.
Volker, yes the final 50D image rendering from CR 4.6 / LR 2.1 -- when it's ready -- should be improved.
That said, it is very, very important to understand that Canon's DPP is applying higher level of baseline noise reduction than CR / LR. That is, DPP's default settings (i.e., before you've even touched a knob) inherently apply a higher level of noise reduction compared to CR / LR's defaults. I've studied this reasonably closely and have come to preliminary conclusion that while DPP's images are somewhat cleaner at high ISO compared to CR 4.6 RC and / LR 2.1 RC, they also have less fine detail because of the higher level of baseline NR.

Anyone been able to get OS Image Capture to remote trigger Canon EOS DLSR?

Hi
I am connecting my Canon EOS 50D DLSR to a MacBook using USB.
I am able to copy photos off the camera's memory card, however the built in OS X Image Capture software refuses to remote trigger the camera to take a picture.
I need to try get it working as being able to remote trigger the camera using the Image Capture software is a pre-requisite to using iStopMotion animation software which apparently uses the same Quicktime framework.
Thanks in advance.
Chris

iStopMotion fails to trigger the camera. I have been in contact with the developers and they say that iStopMotion uses the same Apple Quicktime framework as the OS supplied Image Capture software (which does have a Take Picture menu option)
So essentially if I can resolve the issue and get the Apple OS Image Software to trigger the camera it is a good indication that the issue is resolved and the iStopMotion software will also work.
I am using the Image Capture software to test the issue as my free demo license to iStopMotion has now expired and obviously I don't want to buy the software unless I believe it will work.
Any Canon EOS 50D DLSR owners out there who can test their camera with the Mac OS Image Capture Take Picture option?

Please confirm, I cannot open RAW images in CS2 from EOS 50D

Platform: XP Pro SP3
After shooting my first session using the new Canon EOS 50D DSLR I cannot open RAW images in Photoshop CS2. Canon told me there was a free upgrade available to replace my current RAW editor ver. 3.7 BUT it appears from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D. Thank you for your efforts.

> ... from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D.
Considering the $$ you paid for the 50D, updating CS2 to CS4 for the sake of all the improvements in ACR would be well worth the $200.

When will apple support Canon EOS M3 Raw?

I have Canon EOS M3 and trying to import the produced raw in iPhoto, however, the format cannot be supported by iPhoto. This raw can be read by canon DPP 4.2.0(hosted in my MBA) and I believe it is because M3 is a new released camera model by Canon.
When will apple update iPhoto to support raw of M3?

APple never ever announces in advance, if an when raw support will be released for a new camera. only Apple knows. Sorry.
