I have acquired a Canon EOS 5D MIII around the first of September. I have also received David Busch's book on said camera. However, I am finding differences between what he say will do certain things when certain buttons are pushed but in practice those things don't happen on my camera. An example, he says by pushing the reduce button or the enlarge button I will see either the 4 photo or the 9 photo group of shots.And be able to change between them. I find that I must be in the review mode and if I turn the Main control just behind the shutter I can shift between single, 4 and 9 photos.
The book was published in 2014, and this is 9 years later. Could Canon have reworked their camera?

I purchased a used 2019 BenQ SW2700PT monitor and have had problems trying to calibrate it. The BenQ Pallete Master Elements software is incompatible with these monitors manufactured prior to 2020. BenQ does not have a workaround or another software that will work with the monitor. I use a SpyderXElite to calibrate my MacBook Pro M2, but it does not work on the BenQ either as I cannot get the brightness high enough on the monitor for the calibrator to work -- the calibration always fails.
Have any of you run into this problem? If so how did you address it. I am thinking I am going to have to take the monitor to the Salvation Army and just stick with my MacBook Pro for editing photos. thank you!

I couldn't believe the difference in the printout on my Canon PixmaPro-100 printer after I deselected the wireless printer option. I have two printers in my printer selection drop down on my computers, a normal USB printer selection (used specifically for my Mac mini) and a Wireless printer selection for all other computers in the house.
I was printing out a Thank You card that I created using one of my photos and I just couldn't get rid of the subtle, but obvious. color banding. I tried different paper, different settings (e.g. 16 bit vs 8 bit) no change, banding still there. As you know, I'm now going through a lot of ink and paper with this trial and error process. And, I'm getting frustrated knowing that this printer can do a lot better than what I'm getting.
I noticed when I was printing that the wireless light on the printer was flashing yet the printer is connected to my Mac mini through a USB cable.
The light turned on!
I went into the printer selection setting in the menu that comes up when printing in photoshop and I saw that I had two selections with the same name.
Next, I went into the main preference settings for printers on the Mac mini and I saw the two selections with the same name but one indicated that it was wireless (air print). I immediately changed the name on the wireless selection to something that would tell me that it was for wireless printing.
I went back into my PS print job and noticed that I had the wireless function selected so I deselected it and then hit print.
WOW! What a difference. Before the change, the printout took about 40 seconds, which I was surprised considering I had high quality set for the printout. After the change, the printout took considerably longer almost 2 minutes but the quality was so much different, better, and the banding was completely gone.
Now the BIG question is, what will happen if I take that file and print it out using my Windows laptop and PS that uses the wireless printer selection....to be continued.
Any thoughts?

Good Morning Hoggers,

About 2 months ago a bear demolished my bird feeder. Based upon animal control recommendations, I'm now ready to reinstall a new feeder and need a recommendation on a trail camera so I can monitor the feeder at night. I haven't felt the need for a trail camera before so I have no idea what features I need, or what the options are (color/B&W, mounting options, storage capacity, how to download images, angle of view, etc).

I would intend to mount the camera on one of the posts on my front porch and the feeder will be about 20 feet away. I've attached a couple of photos of the demolished feeder if that helps you.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
