His mirror of Canon 70 d Live View

Hello

Understand that when you press the Start/Stop button to switch to Live View viewfinder mode, it will produce a sound of the mirror tilting upward.

But then, in the mode live view, whenever I have half-press the shutter button to the update, it keeps producing the same sound that the mirror flipping over, the LCD turns off like half a second and again with the topic under discussion.

Is this normal or something is wrong with my camera?

Thank you.

Hello

It seems that if you use Live View "Quick AF" focus mode (page 243 of your manual)... This removes the mirror temporarily interested using the matrix of sensors in the viewfinder (phase detection) and then triggers the mirror again. It is faster than the method of Live View contrast detection focusing on most DSLRs.

However, 70 d has the new method of development "double pixel" available in Live View mode in other Live View focus modes, which is pretty darn fast. So you shouldn't need to "Quick AF" mode. See page 233 to 242 in your job and choose one of the other focus Live View modes.

  • Canon 6 d not focus or flash in ' Live view '.

    My Canon 6 d not focus or flash in ' Live view '.  I have a canon 430ex II and an E - ttl flash with a sync for the function E - ttl cable.  The camera to simulate the action of the shutter, but no picture is taken.  How can I overcome this problem.

    From time to time, after trying to take several pictures, it will begin to work, but usually isn't.

    Hey Shadowcat.

    Thanks for posting.

    It seems that the AF method is set in fast Mode.  When the device is set for Live View shooting, there are different methods of AF that can be set.  In fast Mode, the device uses the AF sensor dedicated to focus when you press the shutter button halfway.

    The image on the LCD is stopped while the camera tries to focus because the shutter closes and the mirror falls on the image sensor.  It may seem as if the camera is taken a picture, but this isn't, it focuses only.  No flash is triggered during this process either.  Continue to hold the shutter halfway button until the focus is reached, how the image will be back on the LCD screen.  Then you can press the shutter button the rest of the way down to take the picture.  The flash fires and the image will be saved.

  • T3i only focuses automatic in "live-view".

    I bought a t3i two years ago and a half years. The last time I tried to use the camera, it wouldn't auto-focus. After reading online, I tried the following:

    -remove the battery for more than 10 minutes

    -check with another lens

    -swtich between AF & MF a few times

    The only thing that worked was switchign the camera for "live-view". When in "live-view" the camera is autofocus.

    Don't know what my next steps should be - have a great trip in three weeks and would like to have my camera working at this time.

    GRSuch

    The unit uses another system update in 'live view', and is used when you use the viewfinder.

    Your camera has 9 autofocus sensors on the floor of the camera.  You can put the camera in a mode where it uses all 9 areas of focus.  Be aware that if 9 points are on topics of different distances, the point that the camera will choose will be the one with the CLOSEST focusing distance.

    Alternatively, you can place the camera in a mode where YOU choose which of the 9 AF points will be used.

    Page 85 of your owner's manual you will show how to take a specific point AF or set mode where it uses all the.

    These areas of focus will ONLY work if the target has a report f / d of f/5.6 or less.   If you use a lens with a focal length multiplier, you have multiple focal report of the lens by the focal length multiplier factor.  For example a variable zoom f/3.5-5.6 who is zoomed in a little used f/5.6.  Put a teleconverter 1.4 x on this goal and it becomes a target of f/8 (autofocus will NOT work at f/8) or put a 2 x teleconverter on this lens and it becomes a f/11 (auofocus certainly will not work at f/11).  A teleconverter 1.4 x suitable only for f/4 or faster lenses.  A teleconverter 2 x, suitable only for f/2.8 or faster lenses.

    Maybe something is blocking certain AF points in your camera.  When is clean?  You can remove the lens, turn it on, use the menus to put in manual sensor cleaning mode.  This will cause the reflex mirror and lift to expose the sensor... but she exposes also the 9 AF sensors on the ground of the camera (you will not see the sensors... you will see only tiny holes/ports in the background and the sensors are hidden under these.)  If you see any dust or debris in there, then it would be a problem.  Just get a hand blower pressed (as a blower of Rocket Giotto... it's the bulb you squeeze with your hand to get the puffs of air) and serve.  Do not use compressed air cans.  They can leave a residue and if you get the residue on the sensors, you have a big problem because you can't them without disassembling the camera.  NO CANNED COMPRESSED AIR... NEVER!

    If you don't see anything visibly in the camera and you are not using a teleconverter that gets you over f/5.6 and you put the camera auto-choisir the Focus point and it cannot always focus... you should contact Canon service for help because you have exhausted well enough that you can do yourself.

  • Question of Live View EOS 70 d

    Hello

    I just bought a 70 d EOS.  My question relates using Live View under "auto".  I understand that touch the display screen directly causes the camera to focus about to contact, and that's exactly what's happening on my camera.  However, I also noticed that exposure changes as well.  For example, if I touch a subject dark opening or time will change to allow for more light and vice versa if I touch a light object.

    I don't see any reference to this in the manual.  This is a very good feature, but I'd be curious to know where this feature is described in the manual, if anyone knows.

    Thank you

    D 70 has an iFCL 63-zone metering system. In other words, the area of the image you see in the viewfinder is divided into 63 different areas which are measured individually, with the collected info better interpreted the system and then used to get to what the camera "think" is a correct exposure.

    When in 'Auto', it probably uses so-called evaluative method. This method places more emphasis on the area immediately around the active AF point. It's kind of like one-off measure related to the focus area turns, but evaluative measure also considers the rest of the area of the image in its calculations.

    You probably also Simulation exhibition enabled (in fact it is not possible to turn it off using a fully automatic mode).

    If you were using a rather 'creatives' (as Canon calls) auto exposure modes, you would have more flexibility in the setting of the camera upwards. For example, you can choose a different method of counting (weighted Central don't react just like evaluative, simply examines the entire image area, with slightly more emphasis on the central part of the image, but without link to special AF point), or you could dial in some more or less using Exposure Compensation adjustment. AV, Tv and P is the automatic exposure modes 'creative '. AV means "Aperture priority" and is where you choose the opening and automation of the camera selects an appropriate shutter speed to match. TV stands for "Shutter priority", where you choose a shutter speed and the camera rule opening automatically. P is "programming mode", where the device regulates the opening and priority. (Note: in three modes, you would have chosen and ISO, first.)

    You could also disable Simulation exhibition, if you wish. Then the visible image on the LCD screen of the camera varies in the same way.

    However, I really do not pretend that you do not use evaluative measurement or Simulation of exposure. They are both valuable tools at your disposal. I suggest that you learn to use them to your advantage. Also become familiar with the camera's three other methods of counting (Center weighted, partial and Spot).

    Evaluative measure doesn't do a good job in a variety of situations. I suggest you learn to use it.

    First, try to think about the world in shades of gray, rather than colors. Like all the reflective metering systems, it was designed to produce a "neutral gray" and is influenced by the tone of the subject. For example, if you are shooting a black bear in a coal mine, the camera tries it overexposing. Or, if you are shooting a polar bear in a snow storm, the camera will try to underexpose it. In both cases, the metering system is still trying to be out "neutral grey". He can't think... to do the thinking and to recognize the situations where it will be shifted, skip it and make the appropriate adjustments.

    Simulation of exposure can help warn you of the top and bottom of the trends of the exhibition. You can also read your images and inspect the histogram, see if you over or underexposure issues, so that you can always re - draw the image if necessary.

    Note: more of what the camera offers there are other types of meters that work differently. For example, measure frequency measures the light falling on the subject, rather than what is reflected off of him (such as reflective metering). Used right, it can make for a more precise dosage. However, there is simply no practical way to build a frequency counter in a camera and use it for automatic exposure control. Frequency counters are for the most part separated, handheld and many of them are also able to measure with precision the flash and strobe lighting.

    It seems to me that if your device works just like it should. It's just a matter to become familiar with it and learn to use it.

    In addition to the manual that came with the camera, there are guides available that can be very useful and complete the manual. I suggest you to check what guides are out for 70 days. Whenever I have started working with a new model of camera I always buy one or two of the guides, as a shortcut to get up to speed using the camera. From personal experience, I can recommend guides by Charlotte Lowrie, Michael Guncheon and David Busch. If you are looking for 70 "d" on Amazon in the books, I'm sure you will find guides by one or several of these authors and probably a few other very good (some authors a few I know).

    If you are really new to photography, I also highly recommend getting a copy of "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. It can also be very useful, and is more of a preview of the works the cameras in general. I think it should be mandatory reading for all new photographers, or at least for all those who want to move beyond the skill level of point-n-shoot.

  • EOS 6 d zoom in remote mode live view sharper?

    Hello

    I have this Canon EF 70-300mm Zoom lens on my EOS 6 d, connected via EOS Utility Remote on my Macbook Pro running MacOS 10.9.1. Everything works very well, and I'm really impressed by the level of detail that I can achieve by zooming in on the Moon:

    I thought, that looks really amazing! Imagine what the shot will look like when I break the real photo with these settings. And then I get it. This is a comparison of the screenshot of the Live View Zoom View (left) and the actual shooting (right):

    I tried to change the quality of the image (I tried RAW) does not. I do not know whence the loss of details, I was wondering if anyone here had any idea about this or that she ran into similar problems.

    Thank you

    Michel

    You can try and turn off High ISO NR? at ISO 12800, you can lose a lot of details with NR. The Moon is clear enough, you don't need an ISO high. And the Moon must be sharp, even at slow shutter speed. Try so the slow shutter speed, lower the ISO, turn off NR. Your shot looks like more on NR off focus or camera shake.

  • The question regarding the positioning (differences between Design view and live view)

    I don't know how to perform the same search to see if this has been asked, nor how to properly ask the question... but here goes...

    I have a div id "container" which is limited to large 968px.  Inside that I want to have 2 columns (one containing nothing else than a background image) next to each other.

    I called a left_column and other right_column.

    The background image will be in the left column and is high by wide 290px 550px.

    I used CSS to define the following:

    {#left_column}

    background-color: #FFF;

    background-image: url (.. / images/waterfall.jpg);

    background-repeat: no-repeat;

    position: relative;

    height: 550px;

    Width: 290px;

    margin-right: 10px;

    float: left;

    }

    {#right_column}

    height: 550px;

    Width: 650px;

    margin-left: 10px;

    padding-left: 12px;

    position: relative;

    left: 10px;

    }

    In "design mode" everything seems wonderful.  When I go to the live view (and/or browserlab) the text in the right-hand column shows the usable space is only 300px.

    If I change the width of the right_column to 'auto' can live view (and/or browserlab) everything seems all I want, but in the view design right_column width is closer to 900px and goes the WAY out of the container (which makes it very difficult to see the text as I type).

    No idea what I messed up?  What other details do you need?

    Thanks in advance.

    I wanted the left and right columns to be the same height, so the footer doesn't look like it has been 'floating' lower from one side to the other.  The width is controlled by the banner image 968px.

    Columns of Google to 'false '. It is a technique that requires a background image set to "container".

    . The image is repeated behind the "right column
    to fill the depth and give the impression that the two columns are of equal height.

    mikemendo wrote:

    In the left column photos is a background image, so if I put the height and width, then the image is not of appropriate size.  The reason why I did a background image was to follow the advice of David Powers in his article on "your first site.

    This technique is good to use.

    At present the total width of all your elements adds to 982px that is wider than your container attached to 968px. Margin and padding ARE added to the width of a 'container' if:

    290px + 10px = 300px

    650px + 12px 10px 10px plus 682px

    TOTAL = 982px

    You can adjust the math for the total width does not exceed the width of your "container".

    Use this css and everything should work:

    #container {}

    overflow: hidden;

    margin: 0 auto;

    Width: 968px;

    background-image: url (.. / images/rightColBg.gif)

    background-repeat: repeat-y;

    }

    {#left_column}

    background-color: #FFF;

    background-image: url (.. / images/waterfall.jpg);

    background-repeat: no-repeat;

    Width: 290px;

    margin-right: 10px;

    float: left;

    }

    {#right_column}

    Width: 656px;

    padding-left: 12px;

    float: left;

    }

    #footer {}

    Clear: both;

  • live view from java to flex - blink of an image

    I'm trying to simulate a live view with a canon camera.

    I interact with the cam using the CanonSDK, I get an image all of a short period in order to simulate a video image by image. It works fine, I use java to make the backend and send the images for flex BlazeDS pit.

    The problem is not to get the picture, the problem is that when I load a new image by using something like:

    image.source = my_new_image;


    the new image is loaded, but it produces a short white clapboard and it ruins the video... So I would like to know if there is a way to use the channels of dissemination or a way to spend all of the images in mode live view to flex and show them in the flex from java interface.

    Thank you very much!

    Agustina

    I have this same problem in a SWF file that I have an external image loading in. In another SWF file, I don't have this problem. In one case, the image is at the beginning of the clip, and on the other, it's on the last frame of the clip. My only suggestion would be to load as many images you can off-screen and then put listeners on the images to find out that they are loaded before showing them to you. You can do this:

    this.addElement (image);

    image.addEventListener (FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

    private void imageLoaded(event:Event):void {}

    image is loaded...
