Canon 6D

[N-user]

maybe is due to diffraction limit?

Is it vignetting that I see???

Oh I know why. Coz I used the auto blacklit HDR mode of 6D. A bit of shaking.

6D + 35mm at F/16. A bit disappointed coz the landscape is not very sharp at F/16.

F16?
maybe u should try F11.
but sharpness should depend mainly on the lens.

Just tried again with Av mode at F8 to F16. It's very sharp. I think the HDR Backlit mode sucks coz it allows handheld. haha.

Just managed to get 6D just now. Focusing is fast, hand grip is just nice for me and the most attractive part is that the camera is very light weight for a full frame.

i am talking about the shadow area which was cast by the edge of the cards onto the background. :dunno:

Sigh... light shadows mean either (i) contrast setting is low or (ii) DR setting is different. Says nothing about sensor. Who cares?

 

[SoundOfSilence]

Anyone knows how long it takes to replace the sensor?

My 6D seems to have 2 dead pixels in the sensor :cry:

You won't get it replaced in countries like Singapore, they will simply map it out.

can elaborate more on 'map it out'?

can elaborate more on 'map it out'?

"The CCD, CMOS, and NMOS sensors used as film in digital cameras are made up of millions of pixel sites that are microscopic photodiodes—charged electronic elements that respond to light. These pixels may cease to function over time or may not even be functional when the sensor is manufactured. There are two types on non-functioning pixels:

• Dead Pixels: A pixel that reads zero or is always off on all exposures. This state produces a black pixel in the final image.
• Stuck Pixels: A pixel that always reads high or is always on to maximum on all exposures. This produces a white pixel in the final image.

When a digital camera is manufactured, one of the quality control steps is Pixel Mapping. In this process the sensor is checked for dead or stuck pixels. When such pixels are found, a radial interpolation explores the pixels around the dead or stuck pixel, maps their locations, and inserts data enabling the camera to mimic what the dead or stuck pixel should be doing.
Over time, all sensors will develop dead or stuck pixels. They can be cloned out using image post-processing software, but this can be time consuming. The majority of camera brands require that the camera be sent to a service facility to have the sensor re-mapped by a technician, which can be costly and means the user will be without a camera while re-mapping is being done."

Thanks for the info, will probably head down to svc center to see how long they need to remap the sensor

Hope it will be in time for my holiday!

If the camera is brand new, shouldn't the cost of pixel mapping be covered by warranty?

I have another question about the 6D... does it have a silent shutter mode like the 5D3?

SoundOfSilence: Sorry to hear that that you've run into this issue already with your camera and its not even a day or two old. Good luck on getting it re-mapped. I hope that you get it back well in time for your holiday.

Sure, it will be free of charge.

Yeap, there is a silent shutter mode for both single and continuous shots

Thanks! Gotta see what their technician have to say about this issue and at the same time cross my fingers it will be a fast and easy fix

Should be easy, nothing special. Canon doesn't offer any option in the firmware for the user to do it at home like e.g. Olympus?

I used to own a Canon 50D that displayed a RED pixel after the sensor got hot after about 30 minutes of shooting. It was glaringly obvious in just about every photo I took (unless there was red in that area of the photo). It was easy enough to fix in post processing. I simply used the spot remover. That function is a God-send.
