what did he tell you then?

Him: 'Honto desu ka'?
Me: *shows camera*
Him: Urayamashiiiii *goes to get screen protector, in stock but not display*

The LED display has some problems on the edges but generally it's sticking on fine. The LCD has no issues. NO GREASE SMUDGES OMFG.

Also, lots of D800s to go around!

Everyone is waiting for some form of protector
I also using cheapo one i bought from Daiso meant for the Nintendo DS..there's 2 inside and both are big enough to cut the size..so got standby…works pretty well actually..for $2

I'm using the one for 60D.. not 100% coverage but at least got 95% covered. About 1mm each on left and right sides are not covered. Ok lah.. for me..

Oh, so Yodobashi has the correct size for 5D3's LCD screen? good for you bro!

maybe you can import back a couple and sell for a profit hahahahahaha...

hk sets seems to be more expensive this time round, 4.44k sgd =u=

I got a Question:

I read that 5d3's iso performance is not much better in raw format than other full frame. But much better in jpeg. My guess that 5d3 has some sort of processing in the camera to supress noise.

Q: does the 5D3's DPP software have the same capability to suppress noise as 5D3's on board processing?

 

[jasonyjw]

check with u guy,i use the multi exposure function how come the subject is fader then other?isnt suppose to be 2 of the same exposure?

Trying to figure this out too. Anyone has already mastered the multiple exposure function?

 

[zelot]

Tried it and have no problems at all.

that's music to my ears.. can't wait to get 1 and use the 85 on it

Right now adobe raw is still in beta. May take a few version to give the best default settings. In the meantime can tweak with the settings to give jpeh type of nr on the raw.

Not sure which "other full frame" you were referring to. But don't read too much. Just enjoy the camera if you have one.
It is definitely much better than 5D2 in terms of RAW performance. I was Auto-ISO last week at a church wedding and one of my shots hit ISO 5000 and it looks perfectly noiseless at normal view. At 100%, I see very fine grains and not yucky noise.

Right now adobe raw is still in beta. May take a few version to give the best default settings. In the meantime can tweak with the settings to give jpeh type of nr on the raw.

Currently, I use the DNG converter of CR 6.7 Beta to convert my CR2 files, before importing the DNGs into Lightroom 4.

From there, I can apply noise reduction as per normal. Works like a charm.

I dont understand.

Scenario 1) Shoot in jpeg at 6400iso and get a jpeg rated "x points" for iso noise

Scenario 2) shoot in raw at 6400, then use DPP to process it to get a jpeg. Will this jpeg have the same "x points" for iso noise as scenario 1's jpeg?

Thank you

Sorry, i got another question:

Does the auto ISO work when you mount an external flash gun? I tried my friend's 7d and its auto iso is max at 400iso when using a external flash gun but when i do not use an external flash gun, it doesnt have such restriction.

This is normal. You'll need to manual override the ISO if you want to use speedlite with an ISO setting higher than 400.

i call canon. they said that for 5d3, even if fitted with the speedlight, there is no restirction on iso range. however, if user wanna restrict the iso range, he can do so by changing the setting. :thumbsup:

Hmm... This is a first.

Did they tell you which custom function or etc to set?

I dont use dpp but i believe its possible. Just time consuming. Different convertors render different output from the same raw. Color, contrast, etc. U may have to experiment to see which one u like the most.

 

[avsquare]

I think is under ISO settings? You can set min and max ISO range or something.

I know that setting... But it's not for auto ISO when speedlite is used. It caps at 400 unless you override it.

 

[Mustank]

i didnt ask bec i dont have a 5d3

my guezs is tgat dpp should be able to do the same if the noise suppreser is a software. but i am not sure abt that

read though page 124 of the manual on ISO.

it says that if you use flash, ISO is auto set to 400, unless you are doing off hotshoe flash on auto or P mode, ISO range is given to be 400-1600.
