Oldtimer new t5i difficulty backlit

Most of my shots are birds. With my old manual 35 mm slr, I opened the fstops by two notches for a slight overexposure and voila no more black birds or detailless aircraft.  With my new fandangled digital rebel t5i looks like I will have great difficulty to overcome the software genius.  I need to a mode where I can PRESET a framework of overexposure with or without flash as a preset mode or something.  Software 'average' backlight compensation is a bit useless because of the extreme contrast of shooting in the sky.  I can this preset without the software to compensate by increasing the shutter speed and the basically same old same old blue background and the black bird.  Flash is good close-up, but most of my choices are out of reach.  Yes, I have read the manual back, it's like an advertisement for the drugs, 2 lines of info and 2 pages of updates in custody.  Help before I go e - bay on this amazing little rubicks cube of a camera.

The camera has covered you.  You want to use "Exposure Compensation".

See this: http://kbsupport.cusa.canon.com/system/selfservice.controller?CONFIGURATION=1011&PARTITION_ID=1&secu...

As long as you are in one of the "creative area" (where you control the shooting) mode... P, Av, or Tv, then you can hold down the button "Av + /-' on the back of the camera while turning the wheel before (main wheel) left or right to increase or decrease the exposure.

This tells the computer to meter... but deliberately add or decrease exposure.    Each "click" (or smal increment on the scale, you can see in the viewfinder) is 1/3 of a stop.  Two 'clicks' would be + 2/3rds of a stop overexposed.

Remember zero back out when you're done shooting or you'll wonder why the rest of your shots are over-exposed.

Good luck!

    Canon SureShot 5; New on DSRL rebel T5i

    Hi hsbn:

    Tthank you for the answer. In fact, I was in the landscape or fully automatic firing Mode. One of the shots I was in one of the two formentioned mode, at 135 mm with a white wall on my left. In another shot, I took another shot in the open landscape and the flash popped up. I'll try again this weekend and try the different modes and I get results. And thank you, I have always appreciated the assistance.

  • New T5i with a video problem

    I received a new Canon T5i mailed the week last of Ritz camera.  At first, everything seemed splendid; It was an upgrade for me to an old XTi and I practice with this camera so that I can cover the launch of the NASA of the week with her next.

    This morning, so that the video shooting a problem suddenly appeared from nowhere.  Right in the middle of a video screen turned solid purple video recording and started to blink.  I stopped recording soon after but the screen continued showing this problem until I took the camera out of film mode.  At that point, I started the live view mode and everything was fine.  I went back to video mode and everything seems to be back to normal, but the problem looks like sensor failures I've seen with other devices in the past.

    It worries me a lot because I'm supposed to cover the launch of the Orion capsule week next as a guest to the event of social media from NASA.  The last thing I need is for the problem reappear in the middle of the launch.  I don't know why it happened, what it means or how to prevent it in the future.  The camera has not dropped or received damage that I know.  It was delivered to me and seemed to be in good condition when it happened, but now I fear that something may happen during shipping to cause an intermittent problem with the sensor or a loose connection.  Anyone here has any experience with this kind of failure and is there any fix for it?  Here is a link to the video containing the problem.  I have re-compressed it but otherwise it's totally unchanged:

    Thanks in advance for any advice on this issue.

    Hey Astro!

    Welcome to the Canon Forum.

    I looked at the sample video you posted, and it is definitely not normal.  It can be the image sensor, but it can also be something wrong with the way the camera was recording video to the memory card.  I would try another card to see if it does not help.  If the problem persists, the unit must be repaired.

    To start the repair process, you need to fill out a service request on our Web site.

  • Memory card T5i Rebel

    I recently bought a well-known national retailer T5i Rebel Eos.  The day of the expedition, the company called me and asked me if I had the memory card, I would need to "better" using my new T5i?  I've always used 16 or 32 GB SanDisk cards and have been satisfied.  The seller told me that I would need a card that has been "able to givng me the best possible photos with the T5i" and began to suggest that I needed a memory card that cost $149!  I had never heard of a card that cost a lot in truth, much less used one.  He told me that I would not get a lesser quality.

    I moved and you bought a 8 GB card, he suggested that it was $ 69.  I would like to know your opinion on this.  A I 'scammed' and you should report it?  They are a company that has been in business for 55 years they say... I'll check that for sure.

    My question is... do I use this type of card very expensive or is a just as good SanDisk?

    The Sandisk is probably better. I say this not because Sandisk is considered to be one of the two or three best card lines (although it is), but because what experienced you is a well known form of scam. A camera to match vendor (usually based in Brooklyn, NY, if I understand correctly) you sells a reputable product at a decent price, but then you charge up with accessories that you don't need really overpriced. I guess you should consider yourself lucky (or smart), because apparently you managed to resist the tripod to the cheese, all of the filters of shit, "telephoto" is really just a cheap magnifying glass, etc, etc.

    You these guys to report to the authorities the (who have probably heard the story many times before), but you need to undestand that is one of the costs accepted to shady business practices having to hire better lawyers that your brand can afford. If you refuse to never forget the lesson that you've learned from this, it is probably worth $ 69.

  • Audio input level set manually on t5i

    First post here. I just started working with my new t5i, which I use to work on my current video tutorial series. In the manual, I see how it is possible to set the maually of audio input for an external microphone level, but I can't understand how to navigate in the menu that allows me to do this. I pored over the user manual a number of times and could not find this information. Can anyone help?

    Same camera in different shooting modes. The menus I described would be for shooting video in 'P, Tv, Av or M '. Anything else will give you a small selection of menu, as you have already seen.

  • 5 d old or new rebel? Help please!

    Hello!

    Recently I did some research and question if I have to sell my old 5 d in Exchange for a new rebel (perhaps the t5i?).  I take lots of photos of animal shelter, but also photos of travel/landscape/tourist.  I played with the t5i the other night and it seems much faster and images seem to be very crisp and clear (on the LCD).  I don't know if it's a crazy idea.  I have not been in the freelance game in quite a few years so I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to what is the best camera right now.  I can't afford an another 5 d upgrade to the mark ii, iii, or iv.

    I was hoping you all could give me some opinion.

    Thank you!

    I ended up finding many things through Adorama for offered a new t5i with the 18-135 lens, more pro-100 and accessories printer for $750 + no tax/shipping costs.  I really wanted a DSLR that was smaller than my 5 d with a built-in flash for the quick day trips and photos of the shelter.  Thank you all for your thoughts!

  • Satellite C855-18J-battery low after only 9 months

    Hi all

    I bought my C855-18J Satellite in October, there is, so just 9 months, and since last night, I get the message to consider changing my battery! I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible? and if I want a new one it's more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...

    They are now on low batteries?

    It is my first Toshiba computer (used from other brands before).

    > I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible?
    Possible is everything

    > and if I want a new one, it is more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...
    As far as I know the laptop is covered by the standard warranty that is valid 12 months.
    Then why you n t contact your dealer or a service of Toshiba and ask the new part/difficulty under conditions of warranty?

    In my eyes without any doubt the best solution here

  • I have a brand new installation of 13 PS elements. How I have difficulty drag and drop doesn't work is not on my system Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?

    I just installed PS 13 items on my system Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Mouse clicking works, but how I have difficulty drag and drop works do not? For example, I can't create a selection rectangle or drag the sliders or move the panels of the tool or resize a text box, I tried as an administrator (it does not help). Same "ClickLock" in Windows does not drag. No other program on my machine has problems. Help!

    Reset preferences did not set anything. Even reinstall 13 elements PS has not fixed anything.

    However, late breaking new...

    See other discussions on this topic, which suggests a conflict of startup program that might be the cause, I did some experiments.

    All the functions of the mouse to 13 PS elements worked well if I started my Windows 7 in "safe" mode
    So, back in 'normal' mode, I manually disabled all startup programs. Returned mouse problem.
    Enter the control panel "services", I disabled 'Synergy' (a program that allows me to share my keyboard and mouse between two computers). Fixed a problem.
    The reactivation of all the startup programs while leaving a synergy service is turned off, everything works still fine.
    Start all programs present and re-empowerment synergy, but turned off its 'high privilege check box. Everything is still fine.

    Conclusion: Synergy in high privilege mode service was the only culprit.
    Synergy in non high mode allows my PS 13 items and keyboard/mouse sharing to coexist.

    The strange thing is that only PS elements 13 was affected by synergy. I detect no problems anywhere else. But it doesn't matter; the new arrangement (no high synergy) works fine for everything.
