I was shooting a portrait in my studio yesterday using my 1DsMkII, a 70-200L

IS & the Canon 2X extender. I was shooting manual (M) at 160th using Dyna

Lites on a synch cord (never a problem at that speed) and shooting at f/9. The

camera worked fine, but I noticed that the small ISO on the top display panel

next to the frames left indicater was blinking on and off. I checked the ISO

and it was set for 100. Does anyone know what this means? Could it be related

to the 2X? The low ambient? I can't find a referrence for the blinking ISO

anywhere. let me know, thanks.

I had the same problem and realized that I had resently switched screen resolution. It turned out that the palettes were just off screen. To access them I temporarily switched the screen resolution and repositioned the palettes where I could access them.

I have a Canon D60 with video out. On location I setup an inexpensive

Combo TV/VCR (13" Toshiba MV13M3) flip it on it's side and allow

portrait subjects to review and approve their own shot. The problem

is the the video display looks great in it's normal orientation, but

the color gets whacky when it's on it's side. Secondly the RCA video

input in the front has gone bad, presumably from lugging the unit

around. I would like recommendations towards A) replacing the monitor

with another inexpensive model or a more professional model, please

recommend specific models. B) The option of using an LCD TV in

vertical orientation with RCA input C) Adapters to input from NTSC

RCA from the camera to my Sony Vaio PCG-FX250 laptop and setting it

in a vertical orientation like an open book using some PCMCIA or

USB1.1 adapter. Please make some suggestions, I value your opinion,

thanks.
