Canon product sensor reviews

So, I just bought a T6i.  After getting it home and play with him, I thought that I would like to surf the net to find sites like this and just check for stuff and I came across this product Advisory on the sensor.

I read about it on the Canon Website and found that my serial number is one that can be carried out.  I checked the battery compartment for the black mark as indicated in the notice, and it is difficult to tell whether he is indeed marked or not.  I save my camera with Canon.  I don't really want to send somewhere to get checked as I just bought it and going on vacation and want to be with me.

Questions-

Has anyone here sent their camera in for inspection?

How long did take - door to door?

Canon pays for shipping in both directions?

How will I know if I have the bad sensor myself (if there is a test)?

Thank you

John

You can find more info on theissueto this web page.

First of all, look at the serial number of your camera. If the first two digits of the number are "01" or "02", then it is possible that your camera has the problem. If this is not the case, there should be no problem. If yours has a serial number inside these ranges, search for the "black dot", indicating that it's been fixed inside the battery compartment (as shown in the above web page).

If you don't see the black spot... or simply want to confirm that it is correct...

1. turn the camera on, remove the lens and put the camera in the sensor cleaning mode (in menus). This raises the mirror of the road and opens the shutter, so you can see the sensor. You need to visually inspect a light and a magnifying glass magnification. Be sure not to touch anything there or get dust/dirt inside the camera while making this inspection. When finished, turn off the camera you wish to cancel the cleaning mode.

2. Alternatively, or to double check, take just a few photos with the camera tests. Turn off voltage auto focus and defocus the goal. Set the aperture of the lens to f22 (you will need to use the mode to manual exposure or Av for that... other modes will force you to use other openings of the lens) and then one or more shots of something really simple, like a clear blue sky or a simple white wall. Inspect the test closely shots on your computer, looking for black spots.

You should not need to send the camera, unless you find a problem.

  • What Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D?

    Hi, I'm new to the era of digital and older than 55 years.  My husband bought me a Canon Rebel EOS T3 1100 D in July.   (I fought the "technological" upgrade until my old film camera Canon quit on me).  I took pictures since 1966, so I'm not new to photograph, just for our technological advances.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with which Flash Speedlite will work with my Canon Rebel T3 D 1100 camera specific.

    I thank very you much for your time.

    I just got my 430EX II that I bought for use with my Rebel T2i. The main reason I bought the Canon product was... using Canon products, I have never had a failure or a bad experience of 60 years. I use the LL 430EX for a few days and I'm very happy with the results. Much, much better than the built-in flash. It is on sale now with free shipping of Fed X. It is hard to beat.

    Good luck with your new camera.

  • I walk Canon D5 mark iii and Nikon D800E

    I've been with Canon products for 30 years on SLR & DSLR camera and video... And now look forward to the Nikon DSLR camera... As Nikon D800E full frame DSLR... Please give me an advice.

    I could buy a D800 when it first came out, so I did a lot of research on Nikon lenses & unfortunately there isn't any whatsoever of Nikon or Tamron / Sigma that could meet my needs. As much as I would like more pixels, so I can crop more deep, I still have to vaccinate all first. We have all different needs & although I don't like what the brand of the body people shoot with a camera body is useless without lenses to meet the specific needs of users.

    Scanning was not a problem before a few days ago. No new software or programs have been installed.

    Went to scan a document and scan looked like it was working, then dimmed it and received the error message: Canon MP Navigator EX has stopped working.

    Searched internet solutions and tried them. Nothing works. I went as far to uninstall all Canon products and utility, even went into the registry and searched and removed everything that I thought I could associated with Canon.

    Always error. What should I do now?

    Guess I have pretty well stumped pave it because there has been no response

    Hi jealkon,

    There may be a third scanner driver interferes with MP navigator.  Please, try the following:

    2. in the left pane, click the arrow next to the record Local (c).

    3. click on the arrow next to Windows to open the folder

  • Canon Spring rebates

    Hello

    I am looking for purchase of several products of canon, but keep on the lookout for their semi-annual repayments.  Well they finally came, and they are more practical than they have been in the past.  This time, they're instant discounts that apply when buying rather than discount mail.  Last night, I got chatting to the Dell customer service to ask questions on refunds.  I noticed that Dell had released on canon products they sold.  I asked someone in a chat to help purchase if these included rebates instant rebates from the manufacturer Canon and he said yes.  I was disappointed by that because he left much higher than others at price of Dell who sold products.  However, I think that the service representative that I spoke was wrong.  After I finished talking to him I looked at all the Canon products on Dell, even those who were not included in the offer of discount of Canon.  Each of them, and I think most of all the products in the 'accessories' category had a flat discount of 10%.  I'm 99% sure that it has NOTHING to with Canon rebate offer (but rather simply puts them more in good standing with other dealers when their canon instant rebates are not included).  I'm a little annoyed that by I spoke with the representative gave me, which seems to me to be very inaccurate and therefore of poor service.  At the time, I believed him and said that it was useful in the follow-up of the investigation, but it didn't really help me at all.

    I am currently in the Japan and try to call the customer service is not convenient at all, I was unable to find a way any service customer using the purchase by e-mail and chat, I got last night did not help me.  I'm so post here and in the hope that someone at Dell who is knowledgeable, can answer my question.

    So here's what I want to know,

    Reference Dell will support the current Canon or not instant discount program?  The Canon 5 d is currently listed on Amazon and other retailers for about $2,600, including the kit lens.  Right now I have the same device sitting in my Dell basket listed at $2 969,99 including reduction of 10% of Dell.  However, if Dell DO supports instant rebate of $300, which would have fallen to $2 669.99, which makes it much more attractive.  Goes the same for the glasses and the flash of speed I'm interested to buy.  With Canon discounts, price of Dell is appealing, without them, it is anything but attractive.

    ^ o ^ ; I would be very happy if you would let me know if you will be support of the manufacturer of these Canon instant rebates.

    Thank you!

  • Driver for Canon Pixma IP4600 printer

    I had to reinstall Windows on my PC due to obtaining a bad virus.  My Canon Pixma IP4600 printer worked before the re - install, but now windows can't find a driver.  I spoke to Canon and they said that they offer is no longer supported, but Windows should continue to support and drivers must come from there.  I tried a driver through Control Panel, but it is said that a driver is not available.  This printer is not that old, so I can't believe that there is no driver available to all.  Can you help me please?

    I'm sorry, but as I explained Microsoft does not write drivers for Canon products.

    Microsoft writes and provides drivers for their own products.

    All drivers that Microsoft may provide in their OS for Canon products provided by Canon.

    I suggest that contact you Canon and get them to set this output or first try the Vista drivers.

    Kind regards.

  • Canon PowerShot S2 IS. The camera window does not work on Windows 7

    On my old computer I installed software for the Canon PowerShot S2 IS and it allowed me to download the photos by using the function "window of the camera."  Let me clarify that I wanted the date taken in the name of the file of the photo.  On my new computer with windows 7 if I can see that the camera is connected when I click on 'My computer', but when I use the camera window to download it says that it cannot detect the camera.

    The info might be useful:

    The next document in Canon indicates that
    "CameraWindow is no longer included in ZoomBrowser EX 6.6.0b or later.

    He goes on to say the following:

    "CameraWindow is available on the CD-ROM as a separate module. If necessary,
    install CameraWindow from the CD-ROM supplied with the product. Note: the
    Serial number of your Canon product (camera, printer, etc.) is required to
    Download this file.

    Here's how to access this info... go to the following link:

    http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_g_series/powershot_s2_is#DriversAndSoftware.

    Left click the "choose an operating system:" move the window, select Windows 7.

    Left click 'software '.

    Left click the button 'Download' for "ZoomBrowser EX 6.6.0b Application"

    This will display all the information on the download.

    Also... an updated version was published on 30/03/11

    Just a guess but maybe it would be interesting to try to install the update and
    then reinstall CameraWindow from the CD provided with the camera.

    Personally, I just download the pictures and rename them myself

    Name with the date change can be done easily in a batch

    Select the group from the newly downloaded (highlighted) and click with the right button on the first

  • Canon PowerShot S330 digital camera 2.0mp driver

    Does anyone find a Windows 7 driver for the Canon Powershot S330 camera?  I looked everywhere, but nothing helped.  I found a link, bu, it doesn't work.  Canon ceased to support this model, but I hope that there is a third-party driver out there.  (= the time I bought this camera became the last time I bought a Canon product, but never mind that for now.)  Any help would be much appreciated

    Your camera is not compatible with Windows 7, see:

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Hardware&s=Canon%20PowerShot%20S330%20&os=32-bit .

    To transfer your photos to your PC, the simplest method is to remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the slot on your PC. If your PC lacks a card reader, you can card USB readers very low price - just make sure she reads the type of card you are using.

  • With the help of Canon 70 d ALL I have images directly, or DNxHD encoding to intermediary?

    I was reading about smart rendering, and that led me to DNxHD in an intermediate format. I developed the prospect that DNxHD is a ProRes format - as Windows users can use with first to an intermediate format. Although without loss, DNxHD is apparently also resistant against the re-encoding of quality such as ProRes or close enough to be considered quite good. For my personal projects not pro, DNxHD looked a lot.

    I then looked deeper into what my Canon product with ALL - a light bulb and I finally exploded when you read something ALL-I, where it seems that Canon is ALL I have is trying to help its users to avoid the loss of all intermediate formats by providing a format, all THE-I, which is apparently ready to go for editing... that is what ALL I have is apparently intended for.

    This led me to want to compare the time coding sequences created with ALL I have versus DNxHD clips. I took a second ~ 60 ALL-I file .mov, transcoded to DNxHD, then used two clips, original ALL-I, as well as the new DNxHD based on EVERYTHING-I, compare the time encoding of each with or without use of preview (with or without smart rendering) files and move both h.264/MP4 and DNxHD...

    Test #.

    Target of encoded file

    Of the above, I don't see an advantage in avoiding cannon is - I because it seems to work as well as an intermediary DNxHD when comparing time coding of a format to DNxHD.

    One advantage I've seen with DNxHD, is that, when it is used as edition/intermediate format, first washing seems to work more easily when you go forward / backward... If I slide the rear transport, many more images are instantly displayed for the sequence based on the DNxHD, while the ALL-I sequence a lag/delays while rubbing not as smooth everything by rubbing back / comes in timeline/monitor. Someone wrote about this new benefit in a post somewhere, saying it's all what they considered an advantage to an intermediate file DNxHD... and I saw first hand with the above tests.

    This leads me to believe walk away from Canon of ALL - I in another intermediate format has no apparent performance to benefit while encoding, at least in my tests.

    Am I missing something here or is it just?

    I'm trying to establish a decent efficient workflow for use on a laptop old to 5 years, that's why I am asking this. Thank you.

    One advantage I've seen with DNxHD, is that, when it is used as edition/intermediate format, first washing seems to work more easily when you go forward / backward.

    It is the main source of motivation for transcoding.  I have change everything as Cineform files for just this service.  (He breeds again once you start to apply some effects.)

  • Printing from Lightroom 5.2 on Canon Pixma Pro-1

    Hello

    I am new to Lightroom 5 and Canon Pro-1. I'm not sure that I fully understand what is happening when I use ICC profiles for printing (in spite of paying through forum after forum). When I print the results look, nothing like the results on the screen. I tried the soft test and proof image looks like my output, but I'm not understand how I'm supposed to use the ICC profile.

    System

    Windows 7

    5.2 Lightroom

    Canon Pixma Pro-1

    8 GB RAM

    1. use of proofing it appears that I need to adjust my image for each paper type. It is not meant for me - I thought that the profile would be to adjust printing so that I wouldn't have to adjust the image.

    2. when I print, I put the following settings of the printer:

    PrintSettings1.png

    3. when using unsupported paper, what types of paper should I choose? Is there a resource anywhere that tells me?

    PrintSettings2.png

    4. should I have my correct print settings Lightroom base?

    PrintSettings3.png

    Is could someone please tell me what I understood/hard to please? I know it's a forum for beginners but still, please, excuse for the total lack of understanding.

    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I use the Pro-100 for a few months.  It's a great printer that I am very satisfied.  Currently there is a very aggressive rebate program if someone wants a new printer.  FWIW, I have been unable to find anyone, anywhere not happy with Canon Pro printers.  Basically, you can get a value of $170 of paper and ink for $99 with a printer that is 'free' to the end of the year.

    Return to this topic!

    There are potentially three completely different workflows between Lightroom and Canon Pro-life 1, 10, 100 series that involve choices of papers, ICC profiles and color management.

    1. printing with Lightroom controlling color.  You must open the printer driver and disable the printer color management.  By selecting the document in the pilot seems to define the profile.

    2. print with the printer manage the colors.  In LR, he must choose color management > managed by the printer.  Then turn on color management in the printer via the driver.

    3. printing with Canon provided in Cap.  After you have installed the plug of the supplied disc, in LR, go to file > Options of the plug-in > Canon Print Studio Pro.

    Like Lightroom fan, addict and supporter of everything that said J Kost, I was using #1 and love for landscapes.  I had to work a bit to find a way to turn off the printer as well as examples of J Kost for Epson.  Then I tried to print a picture of my granddaughter and her cheeks kept getting a little purple.  When I checked the Preview button before printing in the printer driver, I could see the change in color of the preview of LR.

    I went to #2 where the printer takes the decisions.  Extracts matched and stopped the cheeks blush.

    Then, I looked at a video conference conducted by a specialist of Canon products on the Web B & H Photo site in an hour.  It's the Canon plug-in demo.  I am strongly considering using that in the future.  I hope that Kost J will not be upset with me!  It seems that the Canon plug-in really has better control of quality on the printing process.

    A particularly interesting feature of the plug-in is a test sheet that looks like a sheet of evidence.  There are a bunch of thumbnails printed on a single sheet with a different color casts and numbers of adjustment under them.  Once you choose one that is 'just', you can save the setting as a "Preset" for that paper.

    Note that in the long video, Canon representative insisted on the support of 3 papers of party in the plug-in.

    Too long video was worth the investment of time.  I understand my printer and more watching him.  The link: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth/photography/tips-solutions/canon-pixma-professional-in kjet-printers-exactly-you-considered

  • First DSLR to shoot

    Hey everybody,

    I am looking for a DSLR for filming purposes. I recently looked at reviews and video footages to see what is best for me. Obviously a 5 d mark II or III would be the best choice but unfrtunately I can't afford it.

    I also checked the 60 d that seems incredible because of the LCD that is adjustable, but it has a lower image quality, the 6 d which also has a full frame like the 5 d sensor. But the 60 d is cheaper.

    What one do you?

    I used the 5 d Mark II, 5 d Mark III and T3i for professional productions. I have not used the 60 d or 7 d.  But, to start, you can not go wrong with the T3i, T5i. The video is more than acceptable, and most of the viewers can't really tell the difference between the 5 d Mark II and the T5i, not to mention the 60 d. Now, the 5 D Mark III is in another category altogether! The 5 d Mark III is by far the best for DSLR video, but it's a bit expensive for your first camera.

    I would acquire the T5i (don't remember the number of non-US model) and a few glasses of good. You can make the difference between the T5i, 60 d and 7 d on some good non-goals that you can use as you upgrade the instances in the future. Spend your money on lenses first, then bodies.  Your lenses will serve you much longer than your body!

    Once you know that a DSLR meet your shooting requirements (they are second cameras first fixed-frame cameras and video), you can sell your T5i or use it as a backup/second camera when you buy a 5 d Mark III or another Canon DSLR. Keep in mind that there are significant limitations with all DSLRs when it comes to the video and make sure you can live with these limitations.

    The main advantage for the T5i video is the folding LCD. You will be shooting from different angles (up or down), and you can set the screen to compose your shot. Otherwise, you will need to an external monitor, platform or other gear relatively expensive to properly compose your shots.

    A previous poster mentioned Panasonic GH3 and is a great camera for video, but the range of products is not as broad or deep as Canon. I think that your decision to say with the range of Canon products is good. Good luck in your shot!

  • lenses

    Someone said that the 70-200 F2.8 IS not figure among the precedents of this cluster.  Improve the materials and technology, do you think that canon continues to make these current editions now in production the old-fashioned way, do not incorporate new technologies or improved methods and the results of the feedback and other experiences they have had since they first started to make this goal?  I suppose also that at some point, anyone who is the manufacturer, a lemon slipped through and out to the public, then just cross our fingers and hope we don't get one.  So far... so good!

    Thank you very much.  What a great article. does anyone know if these types of changes came the 70-200 F2.8 IS not lens?   After 12 years of filming with my flash, I was told that the service would be is no longer included on 580 flashes due to the new models coming out and canon is more eager to manufacture parts for the old original.  Canon made a review on the original flash and it is like new but it made me think.  Thank you very much for your input and assistance-much appreciated. I have a hard time after the technical stuff, but that you referred me to the article was great.  I'll save it for reference, as well. I had nothing but good luck and excellent photos from canon.  the extra weight and the extra large it costs between the IS and IS was important at the time, and I'm happy with the model no IS.  I don't shoot too much money now, but really started by accident several years with a nikon to help a friend who worked in a dept food shoot a convention when the hired photographer did not show swithched mamiya 645 s and RB 67 s; then three complete systems of hasselblad for myself and a wizard and spare parts, then fuji pro S when digital came out, then canon and recently sold my 1Ds to buy the 5 d III to get the higher ISOs to take pictures at night on the race track even if I use the 85 mm F1.2. I am happy with the 5 d III and it is smaller and takes pictures that continue to amaze me.  photography has given me a lot of pleasure and for friends and family too, and canon has been a big part of that, so I stay with them and only buy their equipment.  Yes, there are others that are great gear and probably cheaper, but isn't it great that we can all choose our own path? Thanks again.
