EOS 7D Firmware Update Version 1.2.1

16 Apr

It has been 2 days since the Canon EOS 7D Firmware 1.2.1 released and it’s about time to upgrade mine. No news about issue on this new firmware. The fixes that I”m most interested is item 2 and 4 as following:

Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed and the timing of automatic shut down of the camera due to a rise in internal temperature during Live View or EOS Movie functions.
Optimizes program shift when the ISO setting of the camera is set to AUTO.
Corrects a misspelling in the French-language menu.
Corrects a phenomenon in which vertical magenta-colored banding appears in still images taken in movie-shooting mode.
(This only occurs when in Manual exposure mode and when the ISO speed is set to “H”. Note that this phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.0)

Has you upgrade your? It’s good time to do so now especially weekend is coming.

Adobe CS 5 already?

26 Mar

I just got an email about Adobe CS 5 launch event on Monday, April 12, 2010. When I think about it, I’m still using CS 2, suddenly feel like I’m so outdated. Actually, I haven’t really follow up what new and improve features since CS 2 because I think CS2 is good enough for me now. May be in distant future I will upgrade to like CS 10 :p

Picasa 3.5 is tool that I used the most of the time – on day to day photos and possible light adjustments. It’s easy to share photos with other on web picasa. I’m just started using Lightroom 2 on specific projects only. However any major editing, I use Photoshop still including sharping the photos.

Watch out on craigslist seller

12 Mar

Well, I’m active looking for couple of use lens and flashes. Last week, I found one of them and I’m so excited. It’s 28mm f1.8 and the ad said for $300 cash.

With excitement, I head down and drive for about 30 mins to get there. First time, I saw the lens (inside seller house and pretty dark too), it feel a bit different then the one I used before. (I borrowed from Loo). But I continue to check the len to make no scratches on the glass itself. Looks pretty clean but body a bit scratch. No problem, I thought as long as lens is clear. So pull out my Canon 7D and starting noting couple of interesting:

1) When it focus – it making a lot of noices
2) I was not able to manual focus it during auto focus?

Then that when I start wandering about this lens. What the heck, I thought and let me at least try it on the camera. So I start shooting and adjusting the aperture and realize it only go to 2.8 and I was like … WHAT the. This is not the lens I want. It’s different lens.

Then I told the lady this not the lens she mention in craigslist and she pretend she duno about it and I could feel she start react a bit different now…. anyway in no time, I just return the lens and say Bye to her. This new lens cost < $300 and she sell it as $300???
