Hmmm.... I've never tried this feature. What command in LR4.2 do you have to invoke to make this work?

Just select File > Tethered Capture > Start Tethered Capture after you have connected the camera to comp via USB and turned on.

After using the fantastic camera for 1 month+ (mostly at night) i'm very please with it. But today when i was using it to shoot i saw some dirt in the viewfinder and thought there was dust in my viewfinder and clean it but the dust particles are still there.

After a few attempts i thought it might be the sensor or focusing screen, so i took out my lens and take a look in it and i realise.... OMG (theres quite a lot of dust a in it)!!! what are the chances that i can claim warranty and ask canon to clean for me as i have not ever touch the sensor or focusing screen before !!!!

Very sian now. My beloved wife!!

 

[tecnica]

sensor cleaning is $20 + GST.

not free even under warranty.

 

[jiawei0727]

but its only like a month old and the shutter count is only like max 800 how can it be so dusty and i detach the lens max 5 times.

The question is not how many times you change lens but also WHERE you change lens. And have you tried using a rocket blower to remove the dust first before gg CSC?

 

[jiawei0727]

yeah i tried using blower. apart from dust i see like got little line of oil stain or something like that. the lines are shiny when i move the camera.

Then you can bring back to CSC and bring this up. They may be able to help you out.

[jiawei0727]

Anyone know what is the tagline for 5d3?, seem like only this dslr got no tagline :dunno:

 

[esoeij]

What tagline? Why is it important?

 

[daniel00]

Absolutely not important, just curious only.

Is the one liner describing the camera.

 

[esoeij]

The tagline is "The Power to Create".

[daniel00]

Thanks for the link, seem that is not a generic tagline, just realised some camera description is different for sg and US website.

Maybe is different due to marketing needs. Doesnt really matter, thanks anyway.
