• Someone knows when PSE10 will be able to edit the RAW of Canon SX50 files?

  It seems strange that none of the cameras from that series is compatible with RAW in PSE10, I wanted to get the SX50, but it would be a real disappointment if I can't use RAW.  All ideas, a buzz about why Adobe is not support the SX50?

  Thank you

  Thank you.

• Mode of film Canon sx50

  Is there a difference shooting in AV or TV mode rather than say in movie mode? If the filming of AV movies will be able to use the AV settings such as extender 1.4 x rather than digital zoom?

  Hello again, Johninireland,

  You can certainly shoot so that in sport Mode, but it is defaulted to the presets for movie Mode.  So, you wouldn't be able to shoot with a higher FPS regarding movies.  This mode is designed to capture still images of moving objects fast.

  I hope this helps and you have a nice day!

  Please let us know if we can help you further, or if you need to contact technical support.

• Are Canon SX50 - programming (with RAW) mode you able to review the photo after you take it?

  Just bought my camera and have carefully read the manual.  I want to work in program mode, so that I can shoot in RAW.  However, I can't seem to figure out what combo of menus and functions, I can use so that I can get a review of my photo after consider.  This feature works well in Auto Mode - but in Auto Mode, I can't shoot in RAW.  Anyone?

  Thank you

  You should be able to press the control button to the right of the optical viewfinder to view images, regardless of what you are in the mode. It does not matter if the image is so RAW or JPEG. I assume that you entered in the menu and ensures that you do not have the exam put off.

• Why CS5 won't open the raw files from my Canon SX50 HS?

  I always get errors like: "the DNG conversion failed" and "file seems to be a model of camera that is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw", even if I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter 7.3. What I need to do?

  You are right in that the camera has been initially supported by Camera Raw 7.3 (and DNG converter 7.3) but CS5 is compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7.

  So, you will never be able to open this camera Raw files directly in CS5. To do this, you must either CS6 or any version of cloud.

  If you have downloaded the DNG Converter, try the latest version 9.1.1.

  The DNG Converter is a stand-alone utility. It is not used with CS5 somehow.

  I have 1) ' shot') 2 3) 4) movie setting size image format
  those are the only choices. According to the manual there should be a lot more in this menu

• Flashlights

  Hello, please advice me for a flashlight to my camera Canon sx50 hs power?

  Hot shoe of the camera is compatible with all Canon Speedlite flash units currently marketed as well as a number of hot flashes is no longer marketed (e.g. they do not actively sell the Speedlite 580EX II... but it works with it).

  The model number of the flash tells you "Guide number" as the flash in meters.  For example the 270EX II has a "guide number" of 27 meters.  The 430EX II is a "guide number" 43-metre (omit just the last "0" in the model number and that is the "guide number").

  A "guide number" is a scenario of the industry standard benchmark to measure the distance a proper illuiminate can flash a topic.  But as the amount of light collected by the camera depends on your exposure settings, the reference level of ISO 100 and f/1.0 (opening size) is supposed to.  What do you _really_ is divide the distance "guide number" by the (opening) diaphragm of the lens and it is the real distance that flash can handle.

  For example: the Speedlite 430EX II is a 'guide numbrer' 43 meters or approximately 141 feet.  But this is at f/1.  Your camera can't shoot at f/1 (no one does a f/1 lens).

  When your device is fully zoom-in (maximum magnification) lens has a report f / d of f/6.5.  So, you would divide by 6.5 141 feet.  This gives you a distance of just over 21 feet (21.7).  If your camera is fully zoomed-out (wide angle) the report f / d is improving and the f-stop can go as low as f/3.4.  So, you would divide 141 feet by 3.4 and gives you a distance of about 41.5 feet (the distance is better because the diaphragm opening is larger, which means that it can collect more light).

  All this has been for the Speedlite 430EX II.  It is a 320EX and a 270EX II who are both much smaller and more compact... but also less powerful.

  One last thing... when a flash is pointed DIRECTLY at your subject, you get a difficult "flat" lighting.  The object don't throw no shadows, because the flash is close to the lens (so the shadows are all hiding behind your subject where the camera can't really see them.)  Good lighting includes good shadows and also the shadows which have a flexible transition from the edge clear dark rather than a well-defined shadow.  While the detached flash is fantastic, an easy solution for flash on the camera is to "bounce" the flash on the ceiling.  This works if (a) you are on the inside, (b) ceiling is not too high (otherwise, the distance to bounce back is too far and you return very little light) and (c) the ceiling is a pretty neutral white (if the ceiling is painted a different color than the ceiling color is tinged light.)

  The reason why I have noticed this is because when you "bounce" the flash, you get a look more attractive, but the light must go much further than if you point the flash directly on the subject and also not a 100% of the light is reflected... you lose a lot of light.  For this reason, it is RECOMMENDED a flash that is more powerful than you can imagine.

  A 270EX II will work well for bounce IF your topic is not very far away (for example subjects inside in about 10').  If you're at an event... it's a big room, your subject is further... the 270EX II will be strong enough.

  The OTHER time it's GREAT to use a flash is outdoors in full sun.  This may seem strange... but the Sun is SO bright that the shadows it casts are VERY dark.  Shooting a person, for example, gives you an exhibition where the positive side of their face is very bright, and yet, the shadows are very dark.  It's much nicer when the highlight of their young side is only slightly brighter side shadow.  To resolve this problem, using the flash outdoors in full sun as a 'fill' flash.  I prefer lower the power of the flash just a bit... to '-1' setting (you can adjust it in increments of 1/3 of).  It really improves the look of outdoor photos.

  The menu on your SX50 will have an external speedlite section that allows you to adjust the power levels of the speedlite.

  I own a 270EX II, a 430EX, a 580EX II and two 600EX-RT Speedlites.  I use the 270EX II with my body of Powershot G series, but only as a 'fill' outdoor flash or a Flash inner bouncing to illuminate subjects in about 10' away.  For more general use where subjects could be much further, I use the 430 models and more... especially when you use the flash with light-modifiers to soften the appearance of the light.

• Trigger voltage for former strobes on the new digital cameras

  Can someone tell me what's the trigger voltage TO a Canon SX50 HS point & shoot, My Sunpack 611

  (4800 OSP) has about 43vdc on contacts at full load, it will be something frying?

  I'm afraid I have no idea what can handle a SX50...

  I know that the older Canon SLR and perhaps the first DSLRs have been noted only for 6 volts. SLR digital current Canon are valued at 250 volts, at least since the period of 40 days, I think. Maybe sooner, but I do not know at what time, Canon has improved the SLR/DSLR line to manage a higher voltage.

  Point n shoot, however, I have no idea and don't know where to find them. You could try emailing support Canon directly. (This forum occasionally sees Canon reps and technicians down, but are mainly Canon users and fans to help each other better possible.)

  There is a Web site that shows the flash firing voltages, but which is absolutely not a complete list or a severe test of those on the list. It lists the Sunpak 611, but shows a later, a trial to have the trigger voltage of 4 volts, then as an older one was much higher at 190 volts. (I assume that you have measured your own with a VOM 611).

  So, I'm not really help a lot. Check Canon support about the features of your camera trigger voltage. If you are always worried about it, you can use something like a Wein SafeSync to protect the camera from the excessive trigger voltage. Or use the flash off camera with a radio trigger (but be aware that radio triggers often have a limit of trigger voltage, too... some I recently watched are evaluated at 24 or 30 volts).

• lose color when RAW conversion

  I have a Canon SX50 and tried the RAW feature yesterday. I am very impressed by the detail and color displayed on the overview screen. However, when I convert JPG images, color isn't the case about right. I could make a good black and white photo with my photo program (Photoscape), but nothing else.  PhotoScape is a RAW easy to use to JPG Converter. I used that as well as a converter free online called Imverter. The results obtained with the two converters were the same: lack of part of the original color. Can someone help me with this?

  Hey, Bobn.
  I watched Photoscape and it seems to have a tab/page "editor" which includes a large part of what you need to punch to the top of your image before RAW you convert to JPEG for printing or display. Seek to increase the contrast and color mainly and brightness as needed. Also a very little bit of sharpening will also help you.
  I think you would do well to lift your DPP and possibly ongoing enforcement, but I think the Photoscape can work too. Look in Google video tutorials for free how-to on Photoscape. I checked and there are several.

  Good luck

• Canon SX50HS display issue

  I have a Canon Power Shot HS SX50 that I'm learning. I seem to keep changing my display mode, but can't understand what I'm doing or how to fix. I know how to viewfinder onscreen, my problem is the size/shape of the picture has changed several times. Currently it is a square, before, it was vertical and I turn the camera to horizontal. I would go back to the original horizontal display and have vertical when I turn the camera. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I just wanted to offer the posibility of outside the "Aspect Ratio" of the screen, which is mentioned on page 73 of the manual may have somehow got changed. The manual explains that the aspect ratio 'fixed image' is the ' report width / height. "

  "Native" format of the camera screen is 4:3, which I use and If it has been set to 1:1, for example, it would display a "square" image, perhaps that you are currently experiencing.

  I take a mixture of portrait and landscape (horizontal) (vertical) photos and when I see the images of the camera in the orientation landscape and come across a photo that was taken in the direction portrait with the usual 4:3 aspect ratio, I address to hold the camera in position portrait to inspect the image, then and the image automatically snaps into the common sense and fills the entire screen of the LCD. Vice versa for landscape images that fill the entire screen when properly oriented.

  I have really no idea if this is related to how you feel and I hope someone here can help you solve the problem entirely.

• window of the camera does not transfer images sx50 hs

  Camera software window provided with the SX50 hs on a 10 installed windows system.  I use the same cable that I use on my EOS 1200D but the images don't transfer the SX50 hs but work fine on the EOS 1200D.  So I'm confused or something wrong?

  Thank you
