Rebel T4i Kit with 18-135mm Lens, STM lens like Amazon?

Amazon has it for the same price, but I noticed it is listed as the STM lens, which is a new lens specifically built for the t4I.
Bestbuy has it listed for the same price, but doesn't list it with STM.
No point in buying the same camera with an older lens from Bestbuy when you can get the same one from Amazon with the new lens.
Hope this can be clarified.

  • Rebel T4i - problem with dark/black corners in "landscape" mode

    Hi I wanted to ask if someone could help. I am having problem while shooting pics. in "landscape" mode. Sometimes one, two or three corners are more or less black/dark.
    thank you in advance for any advices.
    Josef

    Very wide angle lenses can also have this issue simply if a filter (e.g. a "UV" filter or polarizing filter) is attached.
    Usually if _only_ the corners are affected then it's caused by something physically blocking the light and not an electronic problem or mechanical malfunction.  The curtain shutters slide top-to-bottom (not from the corners) and likewise the CCD doesn't read-out from the corners inward, etc.

  • Lens correction profile for the Canon 18-135 STM lens in Lightroom 5 ?

    How or where can I get the lens correction profile for the Canon 18-135 STM lens in Lightroom 5 ? In effect he is not available in my list of correction lens so my lightroom is up to date apparently :/
    Thanks in advance for answer.

    There are two types of Lens profiles - raw and JPEG. It looks like you are trying to process a JPEG image and Adobe has only provided a raw lens profile for the 18-135mm IS STM lens.
    You have four options:
    1) Check for available lens profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. I checked and a JPEG lens profile is NOT available for the 18-135mm lens.
    2) Follow the procedure outlined by Steve Sprengel in this post:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr_5_lens_profile_not_applied_for_jp g_captures_only_for_raw_captures
    More detailed instructions here for a Pentax lens example:
    http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-processing-articles/176761-creating-adobe-lens-cor rection-profiles-jpgs-raw-ones.html
    This allows using the available raw lens profile with JPEG images. To my knowledge Canon DSLR cameras do not apply distortion correction to JPEG images, so the raw profile should work well. You can check this by shooting raw+JPEG and comparing the two images inside LR
    3) Create you own lens profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. (A complicated process, but it can be done!).
    4) Start shooting in raw mode or raw + JPEG mode, which will allow you to extract the most benefit from LR's processing controls.

  • Problem with the AF of my new 18-135mm EFS IS STM lens

    Hello,
    The lens came with the EOS Rebel T5i bundle.
    The auto focus is working incorrectly, focusing closer than the detected area. This is happening when I use the viewfinder. When a picture is taken using the “direct view” (LCD display) it focus correctly.
     I didn’t use the camera a lot since I bought it, now looking the first pictures I see that this problem is happening since I bought it.
    I changed the zoom lens with another Canon camera and then my new Rebel T5i works fine and the same problem happens with the other camera, therefore I’m sure that the problem is in the lens and not in the camera body.
    The out of focus is more noticeable when I'm taking pictures in 18mm position to an object farther than 2 meters but it is happening in any zoom position. It is clear when I compare the same picture taken with the viewfinder with one taken with the LCD Display.
    I updated the body firmware and the problem continues.
    Is it possible to update the lens firmaware? I couldn’t find them in the canon webpage.
    I will go into an important trip next week, therefore I will not have time to send the camera to repair.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    You may want to rent a lens for your trip and get this lens to service.
    You'll want to be sure it really is a problem with the lens (it sounds like it is from your description).  Test the lens against a "flat" target (such as a wall).  You can hang something on the wall with high-contrast (newspaper works great) and put the camera on a tripod.  The idea is that (a) the camera is definitely not moving, (b) the focus target is definitely not moving, and (c) the target is flat and there are no distracting objects in the field of view so it's not possible for the focus system to decide to lock focus on anything OTHER than your intended target.
    Next... deliberately turn the focus ring to put the camera out of focus (so that the camera HAS to move the focus).  This is mildly tricky with an STM lens since there's no mechanical link from the focus ring to the lens -- it's electronic.  The lens only accepts focus input when focus is active (e.g. half-press the shutter button, etc. to wake it up.)  I run focus all the way in and test several times, then run focus all the way out and test several times (that way it has to move focus in both directions.)
    If the lens is consistently focusing closer, then it will need service.

  • Problem with my new (refurbished) Canon Rebel t4i. Anyone know what's going on?

    So, my girlfriend got me this sweet Rebel t4i for Christmas. I'm still learning how to use it, but it's giving me a problem, and I don't know if it's because something's wrong with the camera, or if I'm doing something wrong.
    85% of the time, when I try to take a picture or video, instead of taking the picture, it just says "BUSY" on the screen. Sometimes the flash buzzes and flashes light, but no picture. Sometimes if I hold the button down for an extended period of time it will take a picture, sometimes it just fritzs out.
    I really like this camera but because of my schedule I haven't found time to sit down and really figure it out. There's a warranty on the camera, plus it was purchased recently, so I need to know if I need to send it back.
    I can take a video of what it's doing if that'll help.

    There may be nothing wrong at all... this sounds like the camera isn't able to focus.  If there isn't much light on your subject (e.g. shooting indoors) and the subject doesn't have enough contrast in poor lighting, then the issue would be normal and not a camera problem at all.
    By default, the camera is in "One Shot" mode -- but a side-effect of One Shot mode is that the camera uses a behavior called "Focus Priority".  
    Focus Priority says that the camera is told NOT to take a photo UNTIL it can confirm that it was able to lock focus on something.   Depending on the available light, the camera may struggle to do this.  There must be enough light.  
    But the camera has one more trick up it's sleeve... it can use the flash as a kind of focus-assist light.  It pulses the flash rapidly (which will making a buzzing sound) in order to add enough light to the scene so that the camera can hopefully lock focus.
    Once it can lock focus, it's happy to shoot.  
    If you switch the lens to manual focus (set the "AF/MF" switch on the side of your lens to the "MF" position -- that's Manual Focus), THEN the camera is told that YOU are taking care of focus and to just shoot whenever you press the shutter button (there will be no delay -- of course the camera wont even attempt to focus.)
    For action photography, you can put the camera into "AI Servo" mode which continuously tracks focus on a moving subject.  But a side-effect of AI Servo mode is that the camera uses "Release Priority" behavior instead of "Focus Priority" behavior.  In this mode, the camera is told to take the shot as soon as you fully press the shutter release (hence the name) and it will do so EVEN if the camera did not finish focusing (normally you'd half-press the shutter and wait for it to focus -- you can also configure a back-button to focus as well.)
    Take your camera outside during the day and try shooting when you KNOW there is plenty of light.  It should have no problem.  Inside... it needs enough light.
    Canon's 430EX II speedlight flash has a red focus-assist beam built into the flash.  When you use that flash it will use the focus-assist beam on the flash to focus the camera (the flash projects the beam through a red lens in the lower part of the flash -- and the camera is able to lock focus on the pattern being projected by the beam.)  You can even use the flash to create the focus assist beam EVEN if you don't want to use flash (you can tell the camera to disable the flash -- in which case it will just use the beam but wont fire the flash.)
    Hope this helps!

    Tim

  • 18-135mm STM lens...Opinions?

    I'm considering a mid range zoom for my T3i, and wonder if the STM version of the 18-135mm has
    any advantages over the 18-135mm II IS lens?

    I do not own the 18-135 STM lens but every thing I've read is that is is a very good lens in its class.  The STM designation is a quieter motor which benefit video shooters.  Since you have the 18-55  lens already, you only gain 56-135mm in focal length.  You might consider a telephoto zoom lens with a longer short end instead.  If you have access to a camera shop, I would look through a 135mm lens to get a feel if 135mm is long enough for your needs. Otherwise I would consider a longer zoom lens.  
    Not knowing what your budget is, I would consider the 70-300 IS which is about a $100 more and for an additional $100 you can get the very sharp 70-200L f/4 but it does not have IS.  If you find that 135mm is long enough, you might find that the best option is the 18-135 STM since you can zoom from wide to medium telephoto all with one lens.
    Your 18-55 is good for landscapes and portraits so you got that covered.    Good luck.

  • My Canon EOS Rebel T4i will not operate with a new battery. What could cause this problem?

    While take pictures with my Canon EOS Rebel T4i camera it died.  I assumed it was a dead battery.  Upon charging the battery it would take just a few pictures and die again.  I purchased a new cannon battery and fully charged it and now the camera will not even come on.  What could cause this?

    Sounds like the micro-switch in either the battery door or memory card door is barely making contact.  If either of those two doors are opened the camera will immediatley power off.   The micro-switch is in the door frame.  The door itself has a tab which pushes on the switch.   

  • Iphoto quit working with Canon Rebel T4i

    Greetings,
    I am running a late 2009 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 with Iphoto 8.1.2. My go to camera is a Canon Rebel T4i and I shoot in Raw almost without exception. File format is .cr2. I have been able to import my Raw photos without issue for several months until today when I received an error message from Iphoto informing me that the photos I wished to transfer were in an incompatible format and could not be imported. I can clearly see the pictures I want to import in iphoto so the program is at least able to generate a preview but it will not import giving me the above mentioned error message. What am I missing and what can be done to correct this short of updating my entire operating system and iphoto? What can I say, I like Snow Leopard.

    Used Image Capture and a card reader still to no avail even with preview. Here are screens of the error messages and views I am getting. They may hold a clue:

  • Built in flash for EOS Rebel T4i

    Hello,
    I have a EOS Rebel T4i and I keep getting an error message with the built-in flash: "Err 05 Built in flash could not be raised".
    I turn the camera on and off but the built in flash still does not raise.
    Is there somewhere I can look to fix this problem?

    Usually this is an easy fix....
    Canon cameras have a micro-switch located under one of the leaf springs in the camera's hot shoe. This "tells" the camera when a flash is mounted and the built-in flash shouldn't be popped up. It's not uncommon for this micro-switch to stick or for the leaf spring to not fully return and keep the switch from popping back up all the way.
    This website http://www.conraderb.com/flashrepair/ shows several problems that can occur and how to fix them, including the small button of the micro-switch I mentioned above.  It uses a different camera model, but all Canon DSLRs are similar. Scroll down to see more about the switch. Unless your hot shoe is loose, too, or the pin that actuates the micro-switch is missing completely, you should not need to disassemble anything. But the illustrations showing the disassembly can give you a good idea of what you are dealing with (note: the website shows using a piece of metal from a paperclip as replacement for the the pin in the micro-switch... I've also seen a thick plastic bristle from a hair brush used,
    If it's the micro-switch causing the problem,  usually a wooden toothpick or a small, precision screwdriver can be used to gently lift the leaf spring, and, if needed, lightly tap on the micro-switch to encourage it to pop all the back way up.
    If this doesn't work, it's possible the latching mechanism got bent somehow. This is a lot less common and isn't discussed at that website, but I've seen it elsewhere on the Internet. Just do a search if you think that's the problem with your camera.
    Now, to be honest, I just don't find much use for my cameras' built-in flashes. The best solution for this problem, IMO, is simply to get an auxiliary flash.Those work much better for many reasons: Auxiliary flashes are much more powerful, don't drain the camera's battery reducing the number of shots I can take with it, recycle much faster especially since I often use external battery packs with them, and are less prone to redeye and ugly shadows because the flash head is farther from the lens axis (and can be moved even farther away with a flash bracket and off-camera shoe cord). One of my four year old 7Ds has had the "stuck flash" syndrome since new, and I've never bothered fixing it, though I've taken about 100,000 images with that camera. That should give you an idea how little I use the built-in flash!

  • SOME (3-4) MINOR DENTS ON THE BAYONET OF NEW CANON STM LENS

    I have bought a new Canon 70D with 18-135 STM Lens kit.
    I have noticed some (3-4) minor dents on the bayonet of the lens?
    Is it possible for a new unused lens to have some minor dents on the bayonet of it?
    Thanks.

    I guess it rests on what your definition of the word "dent" is.  WOW, where have I heard that phrase?
         1. a hollow or depression in a surface, as from a blow.
    It should not have any "dents" in it.  It will not get dented by removing and installing the lens.  Period!

  • Trigger voltage for 7D and Rebel T4i

    I'm curious if anyone knows what the 7D and Rebel T4i trigger voltage maximum are. I have a older Sunpack 422D with a dedicated Canon module, from a Canon A1, on it and was wondering if it can be used on either of these cameras. I would be using this in manual mode only.
    Thanks

    I believe both 7D and T4i will tolerate up to 250V trigger voltage.
    Some older Canon models were as low as 6V.
    At some point it was changed. I'm just not sure with what models that occured, but am certain the 7D and T4i have the higher rating.
    You don't have a problem, either way. It sounds as if the flash you've got is a fairly modern one. Some older Vivtars,Sunpaks, etc. had really high trigger voltages... some were upwards of 400V, but even most older flashes come in below the 250V that's now become somewhat of a standard for DSLRs.  (Although I believe I've read that 24V or 36V, or something in that range, was now a rather universal minimum for all cameras that can use external flash.)
    If in doubt, there are always devices to protect from excessive voltage, such as Wein Safe Sync.... Of wireless triggers.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • Photoshop CS5.1  Stopped opening RAW Files from Rebel T4i.

    I have Photoshop CS5.1 and it has stopped opening my RAW files from my Rebel T4i. It was working the other day just fine.  I have tried to download the plugins that othes said will make it wotk; but nothing has worked so far. Also, it said that all my updates are up-to-date. Can someone help me figure out what plugin I need for make this work again?
    Thanks, Julie

    On that list it says that it requires ACR 7.1 with CS6/ LR4.1 respectively, so whatever allowed you to open those files was possibly a trial version of these products that allowed the components to work. Short of buying one of the two it will never work natively in CS5.

  • Photoshop Updates for RAW Camera Files from a Rebel T4i

    I have a Canon Rebel T4i, and I'm trying to get the update for my photoshop cs5 to be able to open it, but nothing is helping. I'm stuck at the 6.7 plugin and can't update it any further. I tried installing 7.1 (which is what it needs to open the raw files) but it didn't let me, so I'm assuming I have to update it by sequence (6.8, 6.9, etc.) except I can't find the update for 6.8 anywhere. How can I update it to read these raw files?

    ACR 7.1 and beyond is only compatible with CS6 and up. There never was a 6.8 or 6.9. Therefore you will need to find a way to upgrade or settle for the free DNG converter in the meantime. Refer to this for more details:
