I would guess juvenile Red-shouldered.

Camera LENSES often do have some astigmatism. They can also have coma, pincushion or barrel distortion, chromatic aberrations, vignetting, alignment issues, coating issues, and transmission losses. A great lens minimizes all of these. A cheap lens might have some visible effects from some of them. Sometimes that can be put to special effect.


Yes, but surely not in the Canon 7D mk ii that the OP and I have. LOL

need some help understanding astismatism and how much it effects my image focus quality.
Shooting with Canon 7d MK ll & Canon 100-400 MK ll. Just ran the Focal Pro Calibration test with & without Canon 1.4 ll extender, results showed
normal Factor 1.3-3.8 my test measured 19.0
range Factor 1.2-3.3 my test measured 17.7

Is this really bad?
Not being a pixel peeper but I strive and love the sharpest image possible,
will I really notice any distortion with these test results?

If really bad can this be corrected? if so should Canon be the people to fix?

Thanks all in advance - Tom

If you use AF, astigmatism in your eyes should have no effect on your pictures. There is no astigmatism in your camera.

Another thought is to just switch your vehicle to accessories. That may energize the usb ports, but you would have to ensure that nothing else is pulling power such as a radio, lights, etc. that could kill your battery over a period of time. The condition of your vehicle battery is also something to consider.

I have not read all the comments, but my first inclination is to have a small wiring change to the vehicle to have the usb ports hot all the time.

Nice, but turn the color down a little.

It appears to also be a Great Blue Heron.

I have two old flash units: Canon 420EX and Sunpak auto433AF Thyristor for Canon. I have not used them for a long time but find now that they both have the same problem: I can snap-close the battery chamber doors for each if there are no batteries in the chamber. But if I place batteries in the chamber (4xAA's), the chamber door will not close and stay shut. I can hold the door closed and the flash will fire when triggered but the door on each unit will not stay closed on its own. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to fix this other than taping the doors closed.

I also have a 430EX but I have not have your problem. I just opened it and see that I have a corroding battery in it. I have also had it to stop working due to a corroded contact.

This is probably a wild shot but check for a swollen battery.

I don't usually comment much , I just read and try to learn but I recently had to get new eyeglasses and when there my eye doctor asked "what did I do to my lenses?"
I hadn't noticed but my lenses had a strange hazing all over them . My eye doctor said it was due to me using the lens wipes on them everyday .
Now my glasses were about 19 months old but I was surprised by his remarks .
Since then I have stopped using the lens wipes . Not sure what to think but I do know my old glasses had a strange hazing all over , no scratches. You had to turn the glasses a certain way to see it .

I am happy that you replied. This is what I reported earlier. I destroyed my lens(I only have one) using these Zeiis lens wipes. They were the ones with paper material. I see that they have lens wipes available with cloth material now. I assume that these would be fine to use. Don't use the ones with paper material!
