any one tried it?

 

[Bobo]

quick some one pls try it and let us know thanks! quick quick!!


ps: was wondering if it resersible :think:

 

[mpenza]

there're lots of posts. seems that it worked well. you could reset it by following the same procedures and set to 0EV.

read the posts ...

just one thought.. wouldn't it be very troublesome just to change the FEC?
everytime want to change must connect the 300D to the computer to set it...

when on the field, how to?

 

[loupgarou]

well. since everyone says it underexposes with flash. just set it +1ev, heh

Just tried it, it works. I set to +2/3 FEC, in Canon's File Viewer Utility, the files taken will show this setting, Looking at the Histogram of the actual picture also shows that the setting actually comes into play.

The 10DRemote software is just a console for changing the settings in the camera, for example ISO, Shuttle Speed etc, apparently this software also allows a hidden adjustment for FEC .

tried it last night. it really works. u must dial it to tv mode though. please note you must install the 10d wia driver for the remotecapture to work.

Does the FEC setting remains after you power off and on the camera ?

Yes it does.

Yes it does.

I find FEC indispensable with external flash, specially when bounce comes into play, it's sad that Canon chose to cripple the 300D this way

 

[mpenza]

shrug. anyway, I get FEC with the Canon 550EX and I could compensate easily with the backup Metz 32Z1 (on auto mode).

does that mean that you can also change the WB in 100K increment on 300d, just as on 10d? :bigeyes:
