New Range Finder Camera

I would love to see a Canon Digital Range Finder with 70D AF tech, but also with true manual focus finger control, in the 20 MP range, and a mechanical slide that allows the operator to remove the bayer layer on the sensor for better B&W imaging, in a G sized body. When can I expect this?
LOL.

I'm guessing, but if the 7D uses MPEG4, it's probably AVCHD, in which case the transcode will be to Apple ProRes. I reckon it would be pretty straight forward. But the file size will become bigger.... 1GB of AVCHD transcodes up to about 5GB of ProRes. It will look good though!!
The 7D will not use AVCHD. Canon's website says that it'll save movies at .mov files using h.264 and linear PCM audio. The bitrates will be well beyond the max for AVCHD.
Log and Transfer won't be an option so the best workflow for converting these files will be either making a simple droplet in Compressor that changes the video to ProRes 422 and Linear PCM Audio or using MPEG Streamclip with the same settings.

My airmac no longer finds cameras. Will find iphone, but no longer photos either. My Canon Power Shots, old and new, are as good as rocks.

Recently my MacBook Air does not list devices that are cameras. It used to, but does not now. I have recently a) used MacKeeper, b) deleted movies, photos (thousands of those spawning ones) for space, c) installed ios 7 on my iphone, d) bought a Canon Power Shot SX 170is.
Image Capture, Image Browser EX, iphoto--nothing gets photos...nothing sees photos residing on my Canon PowerShots (old and new) or my iphone. Macbook Air can not find cameras.
Help. All cameras are rocks now.

MacKeeper is considered Malwear and has destroyed many iPhoto libraries - read the user tip on it - https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents - my best guess is that your problem was caused by MacKeeper - I suggest you remove it according to the instructions in that user tip
to test depress the option key and launch iphoto - create a new library and see if it works correctly with your cameras - post back with the results

Sony's new Webbie HD camera MP4

Hey folks,
Thanks for the camera help. It seems Sony has launched a compelling new HD 1080p camera and I am wondering what the experts think about it as far as whether it will easily work with FCP. The often-repeated press release says you can dump the files onto desktop folders in the Mac OS with ease; we all know that is not always the case, so just wondering what you think about it.
Thanks,
jf

Now that we have the actual model, we can look more into the cam itself. Correct me if wrong, but I thought that FCP 6.0.2 running on an Intel Mac could import AVC via the Log and Transfer window? So you need two things, first and foremost an Intel Mac. In order to do anything on a Mac with AVC, you need an Intel Mac (again I'm pretty but not 100% sure). Secondly, you'd need at least FCP 6.0.2. You said you used to do video editing, so I don't know what version you have. I took a look at the specs and it specifically says "Format : MPEG4 AVC/H.264 (MP4)" so as long as Sony hasn't messed around with making it's own implementation of AVC (I don't see why they would) then FCP 6.0.2 or iMovie '08 or later would both work with the AVC files natively. You'd need to export them from FCP to bring into DVDSP anyways, however I don't know if it would be as simple as Export->Quicktime Movie of if you'd need to go through Compressor. Anyone here work with AVC? You might be better served searching the forums (here, creative cow, etc.) for AVC workflows, and if you never find an answer to your other questions, by all means post another question here and I'm sure someone will be able to answer it, but right now AVC users don't necessarily know that this thread has turned into AVC workflows.
G'luck,

Did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive?

hi
did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive ?
i'm talking about sliders and lag
i run it under w7 32bit photoshop cs6 normal update to 13.0.1
thanks

For me it's a little faster than 7.1 to initially show the dialog on an open (by a small fraction of a second), but about the same as 7.0. It's a bit slower to open an image into Photoshop once the button has been hit, though.
I haven't seen any difference in the control response - it was interactive with virtually instantaneous response before for me and 7.2 was the same. An image quality issue, where the new Defringe feature doesn't quite work as well as its predecessor has caused me to drop back to version 7.0, though, and I do enjoy the faster opens.
I posted a set of instructions for benchmarking your performance at the following link, though there is nothing there about control responsiveness. You may want to go through that process, and also measure your control responsiveness. If you can show that your system opens up Camera Raw and does the actual conversions at the same speed as others' systems, yet has vastly slower control response, that could make your point that you have a specific problem.

Where I can find Camera RAW upgrade that supports Nikon D600 ?

Where I can find Camera RAW upgrade that supports Nikon D600 ?

mmeles wrote:
I omitted to mention I have CS5 version of Photoshop. Using a new camera Nikon D600 produces "Nikon Electronic File" (.NEF) this is my RAW file I need to process.
Uh huh...and you'll need to convert those NEF files to DNG files using the free DNG Converter in order to use them with Photoshop CS5. Either that or upgrade to Photoshop CS6. BTW, it's prolly not a great idea to post your personal information on a forum...you might want to edit that out.

The new Nokia Pro Cam is not user friendly AT ALL ...

After the Amber update on my Lumia 920, I downloaded the new Nokia Pro Cam app, due to most people claiming that it produces very good quality photos. I agree that the photos clicked using Pro Cam are of better quality than those clicked with the built in camera app. But this Pro CAM is not at all user friendly.
First thing is the most frustrating. The built in camera app allows taking photos by just touching anywhere on the screen, but the Pro Cam required you to touch one specific spot on the screen for this purpose. This is highly inconvenient, especially when taking self photos using the main camera. I know that the photo can be clicked even using the camera launch button, but this serves no purpose because pressing that button actually shakes the phone a bit and makes the photo blurry.
The next thing is, the settings of Pro Cam are denoted by symbols and not text. Camera professionals may feel comfortable with these images, but for the common man, its really difficult to understand what these symbols actually mean. I don't understand how Nokia came up with the idea of complicating matters by replacing the text with symbols for settings.
Finally, there are no settings at all for the front camera, which is also a disappointment becasue we're forced to use the deafult settings.
Hence, in spite of better image quality with this Pro Cam, I'd rather stick with the built-in camera app because the Pro Cam is too cumbersome and tedious to use. So what do you people feel about this Nokia Pro Cam?

Hi,
Maybe the following explanations can help.
1. There is a plus point to this also. Suppose you need to only focus on a subject and not shoot straight away. You can do that by touch the screen where you want to focus, without actually taking the shot. Shot can then be taken by pressing the dedicated on-screen shutter button.
I actually prefer it this way. You just can do that in the WP8 camera app.
2. Here again, all the symbols used are standard photography symbols you will find on any dedicated camera. Even they don't have full names, only symbols. This should not be a major problem, you will learn very quickly what all these symbols mean.
3. People usually use front camera for video chat (or to check if your hair is ok or not!). The requirement for video chat is that you don't need a very high end image/video quality. Moreover, the front facing camera quality is not that good too, so there is no point is providing all that functionality used for rear camera.
You can try using Nokia Glam Me lens, to add some post processing to selfies.

Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
Peace,
Charles Fennen

Hi ssprengel,
to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
Thank you.

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings

Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.
