My rebel t1i isn't letting light in

My canon Rebel t1i is not letting light in in manual mode no matter how I change the settings. It looks like there's a grey haize over my lense. I tried using the flash to see if an extreme light would make any difference and the flash won't fire in manual. All the other modes seem to work just fine. Any suggestions?

The aperture will physically get smaller when you use a higher f-stop value. That's normal.
The f-stop (focal ratio) numer is the number of times the diameter of clear aperture can be divided into the focal length. Hence smaller numbers = larger opening and higher number = smaller opening.
The aperture remains wide open until you take the shot -- then the diaghram blades temporarily slide in to the needed opening size, the camera takes the picture, and they retract again.
But there is "depth of field preview" button which, on your camera (I used to have a T1i) I seem to recall is a small black button just below the button you use to unlock/release the lens (e.g. to swap lenses). That will cause the aperture blades to stop down to the size the camera will use for the shot.

  • 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.

  • Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i

    Hi! I want to buy Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i 15.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black, and on bestbuy website says: "digital camera that features an 18-55mm image stabilized zoom lens" But when I come to store, I saw this camera and this kit lens without IS. How it can be?? is it different products, in local store and in online store?? Thank You.

    I don't know what the lens was there, but "Stabilizer" or something like this isn't on it , and the bestbuy worker said that this kit camera doesn't have IS. 
    Ask to see an unopened box that includes the kit.  If it claims that the lens has IS, purchase the unit and open the box in the parking lot to verify that it is an IS lens.  Hard for them to argue that you pulled a swap if you come immediately back from the parking lot.  (The longer you wait to open, verify, and return, the harder it is to return an "inconsistent" unit.)

  • My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music

    My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music. If I try to play a song it will just skip it and then if I go back to try again it will be greyed out. I can play all my music on iTunes on my computer but only about 10% on my iPod, and the 90% I can't play includes many songs and albums I've bought directly from iTunes. I've tried re-syncing the missing music from my computer but it won't let me, I can't even delete the remaining music. Please help. Thankyou.

    The grayed-out sone indicated that the songe files are corrupted.
    Try:
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

    I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get  CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I  have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that  is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type.  When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog,  and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I  also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the  .CR2 files.
    Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

    The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly.  No doubt about that.
    Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves.  At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
    Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
    Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

  • Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

    I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7.  Is this true?  If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
    For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
    Go to the Aperture plug-ins page:  http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
    Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here:  http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
    The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing).  Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly).  Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session.  You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

  • Router (RV120W) and It isn't letting me connect to the cameras through wifi.

    I install the new router (RV120W) and It isn't letting me connect to the cameras through wifi or inside the local network, either with local ip or public ip, no matter which device I use, pc or my phone. I can access to the cameras from outsite, if I disable the wifi in my phone, I can see the cameras using the 4G network typing my public ip.
    Any suggestion that helps me to troubleshooting.
    Thanks

    Thank you Luis for your Quick response.
    as you said I disable the host firewall, but the issue was still happening. so what i did was reconfigure the router again from scrach and it worked..
    now what I'm experiencing is that same router model allow me open the cameras interface through the web, but from WAN it says "Authentication Failed" and inside the WLAN allow me to authenticate with the same credentials.. the only thing different is the brand of the cameras DVR .
    any suggestion..
    Thanks once again.

  • Canon 500D/Rebel T1i and Raw files

    Does anyone know when and if Apple will support raw files from the new Canon 500D/Rebel T1i?

    There is a discussion related to this on the Adobe forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/422600?tstart=0
    It sounds as though they didn't get the RAW specs for the 500D in advance of the launch as they sometimes do so I'd assume the same is true for Apple. Given this, we could be waiting a few weeks or months..
