  1. according to what I've read the AA filter was the only thing they could do to prevent odd patterning of repeating lines and paterns. Overall the main details are there but the fine details are blocked by the optical mask that imparts a slight blur, before the data is even registered by the photosite on the sensor. Maybe we can get canon to recall these things and replace it with the standard UV/IR cut filters that all the other ccd camera's are coming with and let software handle the AA. I mean we have video cards that have 4x anbd 8x AA for 3d games. I don't see why the video card API couldn't be programmed to handle 2D AA, Why bother doing this to an image before we even get to see the details recorded and how are we going to reprint the image details if they were not recorded in the first place..
  2. I don't want 250V going into my camera on a relatively unsheilded connector.. The book says "Do not connect flashes requiring 250V or more"

     

    It does not clearly state you can use a flash that outputs UP TO 250V sync signal to the PC socket. Be carefull how you read that manual. It's not clear enough! and for a $1500 camera, it's just not worth NOT using a safe sync adapter.

  3. I didn't get the camera warm enough shooting with FV1.0.5 to see "more noise" from a hot sensor. I'm guessing what I did was use the camera so long that it was making more noise due to the heat, I started seeing red horizontal bands at higher ISO settings so I decided to update the firmware. I the camera was kinda hot by then, I was using the lcd alot, went through two batteries and was still shooting so after I updated the firmware the thing was fairly toasty. I went out and started taking more pictures and noticed it was worse.

     

    So thanks again Bob for pointing out the EOS single shot behaviour. It wasn't that obvious to me why it stopped!. I must have accidently flipped the drive cog into continuous mode when trying to change the iso. So all is well with FV1.1... Can't say the same for my couple of bad days, I'm not getting enough sleep I guess..

  4. Mine behaves as Simon has mentioned. So it does sound like there is a problem. Try another CF card, if you get the same with a CF card that is fresh and freshly formatted in the camera try updating the firmware of the camera. If that doesn't work you should contact canon!
  5. ok so yeah, I'm dumb. I hate uhm... MYSELF ehehehe... Bob, thanks for testing against v1.0.5 and uhm.... Do you know that feeling... like someone flipped your world upside down, then showing you that it was YOURSELF that did it and there's nobody left to blame...... I'm going to put down the digital camera n see if I can forget how to turn it on! It's funny how the switch is almost exactly like the ON-OFF meter switch for my OM-1... Maybe I'll sell my PC and buy a Macintosh in the mean time..
