no hard feelings taken.
Thanks for the ...Hi Vlad,<br /><br />no hard feelings taken.<br /><br />Thanks for the support. I'm a Canon lover from long time.<br /><br />The new firmware it's much better than the old one and just the fact that now you can take pictures with the same settings applied to the movie mode is a MAJOR thing and also the Manual,Speed and ISO setting mode.<br /><br />I can tell you that I use external Mic for all recordings now. I bought a small one and attach it near by so the clicks are absent.<br /><br />By the way I got the SONY ECM717 Microphone (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-717-SONY-ECM717-Microphone/dp/B00006IS4P) in case you want to know.<br /><br />It's not a professional model but it has a great stereo sound and it's great to carry around or attach it to the strap of the camera. <br /><br />Again, thank you for all the explanations as they all make obvious sense and I completely understand how they work and what they are for.<br /><br />With this people who do not understand this concepts now are aware of them.<br /><br />Have a good week and thanks for the support.<br /><br />Rui<br /><br />P.S. - Not all the people who talk bad things about Canon are bad people or photographers ;)ruimlealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073823136193206456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983945462069753880.post-51975829409216084262009-06-02T17:23:47.260+01:002009-06-02T17:23:47.260+01:00Rui, sorry for being a bit of a jerk with my first...Rui, sorry for being a bit of a jerk with my first comment. I was really angry because I found loads of complains about the new firmware, and the majority of the complains were just not solid. And I think Canon did a great job.<br /><br />Yes, you are right, Canon did say that there is no AE Lock/Compensation when in manual... but that's because there is no sense for such a thing. <br /><br />I mean, if I set 1/60th, f/4 and ISO 200 and start shooting ... what would you expect to happen when pushing the AE Lock? In an Automatic mode it will LOCK the ISO/shutter speed/f-stop... and that makes sense. However, in a manual exposure what to lock? Everything is "locked" in the first place, you are the one setting every value and nothing changes no matter what. That why an AE Lock has no meaning in a manual exposure mode (video or stills, doesn't really matter).<br /><br />And about compensating.. well, in an automatic exposure mode, to compensate means to add or subtract. So if the camera calculates a set of values for ISO/shutter speed/f-stop.. when you compensate with +2, the camera will calculate new values in order to get 2 more stops of light. And that makes sense. But again, in a manual mode, how can you compensate something that you set? Makes no sense, again.<br /><br />And the noise you are talking about, well, that's horrible due to the microphone being right next to the lens.. and if you change the aperture while shooting video, you will hear the sound of the iris closing down. If you wish to avoid that, you will need an external microphone. However, changing the f-stop while recording is not a good thing to do anyway. But that's another story.<br /><br />Again, sorry for the first comment, I was really upset due to people complaining with no real reasons to.<br /><br />I don't think you should stop, just read a few more things about this stuff, we do learn every day. I do think that you wish to have people visiting this place so please do take my comment as a honest and constructive one.<br /><br />Best regards.<br />VladUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009216928788807571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983945462069753880.post-6018191249889860562009-06-02T16:49:16.492+01:002009-06-02T16:49:16.492+01:00Hi Vlad,
thanks for the comment and YES sometimes...Hi Vlad,<br /><br />thanks for the comment and YES sometimes I feel like an idiot and an ass hole on keep writing this stuff, maybe I should stop one day.<br /><br />Here I just express my first opinions on the new firmware. Of course I'm glad Canon had came up, so fast, with a solution for it.<br /><br />If you have read the pdf file attached to the downloaded firmware you would notice that is what it says there "NO AE LOCK during the Manual mode. In previous firmware version even in manual mode you could Lock the Exposure (AE Lock).<br /><br />Again I thank Canon for bring this possibilities to the camera as it definitely will improve video mode and will bring a lot more clients to their side although I did not had any free gifts from Canon or any other retailers for writing good stuff about their products. <br /><br />Thanks again for your comments and I liked being called an Idiot from time to time.<br /><br />Have a good week.<br /><br />Ruiruimlealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073823136193206456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983945462069753880.post-52072483116316511992009-06-02T11:37:17.839+01:002009-06-02T11:37:17.839+01:00Are you an idiot?

AE Lock stands for AUTO EXPOSURE LOCK... since you are not in an AUTO mode it is obviously that you don't have a AE lock. Compensation? same thing.<br /><br />==========<br /><br />"It looks, at first impression, that the sound on the shutter is the same you ear on the G10 movie mode but amplified a couple of times.<br /><br />I think people would still prefer to buy Nikon lenses with manual aperture values and use it here instead of this NOISY crack sound but time will tell. "<br /><br />Shutter sound? Aperture sounds maybe?<br /><br />People will use nikon lenses due to that sound? Do you know how it sounds when you try to change the aperture on a nikon lense? You must be joking!<br /><br />I see you have 23142345 ads on this blog but what you wrote in this article is a joke. And not even a good one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009216928788807571noreply@blogger.com
