With Win7, I can click on the Start button and do a lot of things. Win8 doesn't have that button. I'm using a free trial of software that puts a Start button where it should be. I'd rather not have to buy this for $10, so is there a way to get the results I would get from clicking Start?

For example, how can I see a list of installed programs or do a search?


Windows 8.1 has an icon in the lower left corner that looks like a window. Click on that and it takes you to a page that says 'Start' at the top. In the lower left corner of that page is a small down arrow. Click the down arrow and, voila, all your apps and programs are listed.

If people want professional quality, there will always be professional photographers. There is a difference and people can see that difference.

Hi
I currently have a 60D. I love my camera. I am looking to add a 2nd camera mainly for wildlife and birding. I just read up on the 7D and like all the features and a big upgrade for me on the focusing points.
What I would like to know is, anyone that has the 7D II how you do you like it and why?
The reason I want a 2nd camera is there are times I want a shorter lens on my camera, but I don't have time to change lens and the object is Gone.
Thanks, Cassy

Jim,

Hallelujah, hallelujah!!!

You just managed to do what Canon said could not be done!

I had tried to do this using the custom modes so your steps on how to do it was nothing new to me. However, you did one thing I didn't do. I didn't register the custom mode I was working with. Because of that it went back to writing to both cards. Now that I have registered C1 it remained to writing to just one card, and it wrote in JPEG. As soon as I switch to the other modes and use the Q button to switch to card one it wrote to only that card, and wrote in raw.

Thank you very much for the time you spent helping me, I appreciate it. I can now do what I wanted. Since I am use to shooting in the manual mode this will not be a problem for me. I just have to remember that I am in a manual mode when I select C1 because my mode of choice is usually AV.

I do understand that this will decrease my FPS, but my question is by how much? I started a new thread on this topic, see:

Thank you again!

Ed,

Thanks for the information. That's where I had read that the FPS would drop off. I couldn't remember where I had read it. To be honest I haven't noticed any difference. My question is how much does it drop off? I don't think you can be very much for it would be noticeable. As for the total shots, 30, I checked that with just one card in and didn't notice any difference there either. It didn't matter which card I put in or if I had both it was the total number of shots for which slow down to the buffer and it didn't change.

I was glad to see you got your raw to one card/jpeg to the other card problem solved. Regarding the fps slow down on the 5dm3, it is caused by the fact that the camera was designed with the fast jpeg write speed at the time of design. Recording to both cards causes a bottle neck in write speed. After production started, newer tech became available. Using the cure for your earlier problem should allow you to shoot at the camera's rated fps since you will be writing to one card at a time.

If you use the same custom set-up on your 7dm2 when shooting jpegs you will probably be able to hold the shutter button down until the battery dies - well, not quite, but I have seen demos of over 2 minutes of full fps shooting jpegs with the 7dm2.

imagesintime,

It was a good thought but it didn't work. It will still record to both cards. It seems the only solution is to pull one or the other cards and only use the card shooting the format I want.

From what I have been reading recording to both cards slows down the continuous FPS. Now I've got a new question. How much does a slow it down? I'm going to have to do some playing to see if I can figure that out. If it doesn't slow it down much then I may just leave both cards in. I can shoot almost 3000 JPEG's on a 32 gig SD card so space isn't really a problem. I can continue to shoot until one card is full, which is going to always be the CF card shooting raw.

I think it's time to start a new thread and ask about how much shooting both cards slows down the frames per second.

I want to thank everyone who is try to help me here. It's been an interesting discussion.

It works for me. Let's try it by the numbers again. This will be different than before.

1. Insert both formatted cards.

2. With mode dial in PASM mode, press menu button.

3. Go to Set-up 1 (yellow wrench).

4. Select - Record function+card etc.

5. Select - Record function.

6. Select - Record standard. Note this is different than before.

7. While still in Set-up 1.

8. Select Record/playback.

9. Select card 1.

10. Leave menu.

11. Press Q button. It should show two cards. Select card 1.

12. Use the multi-controller to high light the file type area.

13. Set card 1 file type to raw.

14. Close Q menu.

15. Change mode dial to Cx (1, 2,or 3, your choice).

16. Press menu button.

17. Go to Set-up 1 (yellow wrench).

18. Select Record/playback. (Record function+card should say standard).

19. Select card 2.

20. Leave menu.

21. Press Q button. It should show two cards. Select card 2.

22. Use the multi-controller to high light the file type area.

23. Set card 2 file type to the jpeg of your choice.

24. Close Q menu.

25. Mode dial should still be on Cx. Press menu button.

26. Go to Set-up 4 (yellow wrench) - page 332 in your 5dm3 manual.

27. Select Custom shooting mode.

28. Select Register settings.

29. Select the Custom shooting mode - Cx - you used. Press set.

30. Leave menu.

Now you are set-up to shoot raw on one card and jpeg on the other. the only thing you have to remember is if you use a PASM mode to shoot raw be sure you use the Q menu and select card 1. When you use Cx to shoot jpegs be sure you use the Q menu and select card 2.

If you have problems with this, PM me and we'll get on the phone. This does work like you want.

Jim

You sound a little bit like me. Still haven't decided for sure if I will shoot JPEG on the second card. I didn't have hardly any SD cards so I picked up two SanDisk 32 gig extreme plus cards, one for each camera. I set the camera to shoot the largest JPEG photos, and I think it will hold a lifetime's worth! 3900 photos, LOL! My 32 gig CF cards hold about 1000 photos, so I guess they are four times larger than the JPEG photos.

That's correct as far as you went. I want to be able to shoot to either number one card for number two card and I want number one card to record raw and number two to record JPEG. This way I can select what file format I want to record in two which card, and not record to both cards at the same time. Unfortunately that's the way Canon is set up and I think Nikon is also. Since I don't shoot Nikon I can't swear that.

Jim D


Try this. I don't know if it will work. Set-up the camera to record/play raw files to which ever card you want. Go C1, C2 or C3 and set the camera to record jpeg files to which ever card you want. Quick chance of the mode dial and you're ready to go.

Okay. Tried it and it seems to work. Once you go to C1 you do have to hit the Q button and select the card you want to use.

Okay, I now did by the numbers as you have suggested. My card one is set up to record in raw, my card two is set up to record in JPEG.

Using the Q I selected to record and shoot card one. There is a small arrow next to the number one. I exit the Q menu and I now have a small arrow pointing to one and to number two. I took a half-dozen test shots and it recorded to both cards, not just the card I selected.

I did this with my 5D3, so were using the same camera. What is different about your camera and mine? Or do you record to both and you just didn't realize it?

If you go back and read the manual very carefully you'll see that this is what it is set up to do. I will give you this, the manual is confusing and it doesn't matter whether you use the one you download or the paper manual.

I must have not understood your original question correctly. I thought you were trying to shoot with a different file type to each card. I think MT Shooter even misunderstood the problem, as Canons do all the same things he listed for the Nikons. As I read this latest post it seems you are wanting to have both cards in the camera but only record to one of the cards. Is that right? If so, then Canon is right.

The more I read all of your responses, the more I think I should leave well enough alone...I don't see an issue with my images at this time so I don't think I will mess with it. I have a lot invested in this hobby, though so I was just wanting to make sure I was getting the most out of my lenses! Thanks to everyone who responded. It's great to know this forum exists and everyone is so eager to help.


Laura, I own the same two cameras and many of the same lenses you have. I would say that the odds of your not needing to AFMA one of the lens on one of those cameras would be astronomically high. If you are doing any kind of professional shooting, I would suggest you spend some time to check this out. You might be surprised at the results.

No, it will not let me do what I want. Yes I can select hard one for card two, but if I do that it will record the same format to both cards.

If I select Raw for card one and JPEG for card two no matter which card I select it will record to both. I want to be able to select one card and have it record differently than the other without recording to both cards.

It can't be done with either one of these cameras, and that's according to Canon

Jim D


Canon's web site and the 7dm2 manual say otherwise. By the numbers -

1. Insert both formatted cards.

2. Press menu button.

3. Go to Set-up 1 (yellow wrench).

4. Select - Record function+card etc.

5. Select - Record function.

6. Select - Record separately.

7. While still in Set-up 1.

8. Select Record/playback.

9. Select a card.

10. Leave menu.

11. Press Q button. It should show two cards. To the right of each card is the file type for each card.

12. Use the multi-controller to high light the file type area.

13. Press set for the card you want to assign a file type.

14. Select the file type you want for that card. Press set.

15. Repeat for the other card.

My 5dm3 is set-up to shoot raw on 1 jpeg on 2, so I know it can be done. By advised, this will slow burst mode rates.

The Q menu is where you select which file type you want to write to which card. It lets you do what you say you want to do.

What you say is true as far as it goes. If you select standard you can then select the different types of files, but if you put both cards in at the same time and shoot it will record to both cards.

In other words if I select my CF card to recording raw and my SD card to recording JPEG when I select either card to write to it will write to both at the same time. If I select record separately it will allow me to record to only one card, but both cards will be set up to record the same format, either raw or JPEG.

Possible spec for new Canon Rebel / xxxD

http://www.canonrumors.com

A spec list we were given has the upper end Rebel split into two different cameras, a 750D and a 760D. The North American naming was not given for the cameras. We expect an announcement for a new Rebel(s) to come in the next few weeks.

The biggest thing I notice in this specification list is the 24.2mp image sensor. It has been assumed by most that any new Rebel would have the 20.2mp sensor from the EOS 70D.

Canon Rebel 750D/760D Specifications

Full HD movies, MP4 format, HDR movie, automatic shooting modes (EOS 750D )
24.2MP sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor
ISO 100-12,800 range
Flicker Detection technology
Five frames per second continuous shooting mode
19 cross-type AF point system
Hybrid CMOS AF III
Rear Quick Control Dial (EOS 760D )
Creative movie modes (EOS 760D )
Wi-Fi and NFC
This information comes from an unknown source and I’m hoping for some clarification on the model split if it is indeed true. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of difference between the 2 models. Please notice the [CR1] rating on this post, and treat it accordingly.

I read that thread last night and laughed so hard. One commenter posted a link to a page where he had seen this information. That page had Canon all over it and links to where you can order the camera now. But, oops, the 750 you are ordering is a Nikon. Really, people, do you think Canon's new camera will have the same numerical name as Nikon's latest camera?
