Some of this difference could be due to 'focus breathing.' Try a different target at a distance of maybe 50 feet and see what the difference in magnification ends up being.

I would think that they should put the info in BOTH places. Don't you think????
The manual does show it under both places and a few other places.

I called Canon and spoke to a very nice young lady and asked her about the D+.... she said that was because it is not under iso but under Highlight tone.
Perhaps she was just not familiar with the 5D Mark III. On page 126 of the manual under "ISO: Setting The ISO Speed", in the notes at the bottom of the page, it talks about how HTP limits the ISO range.
On page 22 of the manual it shows the top LCD and tells what each of the icons stand for and give a reference page.
Canon manuals are really well organized and written.

thanks you ..........i have done all of that and I'm still at 200 to 12800. I guess my question is the d+ icon. what is is and how do i get rid of it. I guess it is time to call canon.
thanks
thanks
The icon is telling you that HTP is enabled. The menu item may be listed as, "Highlight tone priority."

I sometimes use Noiseless CK and Aurora HDR Pro.
Noiseless CK works well on some photos from some cameras. It works great with most Canon 1Dx and Canon 5D Mark IV raw files. It is next to worthless with cameras such as the Canon SX50 and SX60 cameras. On Canon 7D Mark II raw files, Lightroom does better most of the time.
Aurora HDR Pro works better than Photomatix Pro for single exposure HDR. I am not a fan of overly done HDR photos- Aurora HDR Pro is very flexible and simple to use.

You switched on HTP High Tone Priority. To turn it off, go under the menu tab that is red with a white camera and look for High Tone Priority and switch it off. This is from my memory since I don't have the camera at hand.

Here is an example of HDR (Lake Tahoe) that I did that I think is slightly over done along with the original photo. The HDR version looks great as a large print.

When overdone, it reminds me of amateurish solarization from back in the day. Just saying.
Memories....I remember trying to get the solarization effect just right in the darkroom and when I did, nobody appreciated it- they just said, 'that's nice.'

In the beginning when I started playing with HDR, the funkier the better, Now I use it to help show things in shadows, thats about all.
Except when shooting cars, if done right it can make them look like they are under bright lights as if in a museum collection etc.

Here is an HDR that I did not too long ago. It does not look over done.

I don't use the touch screen. I have the buttons programmed much like I had on my 5D Mark III so it is second nature for me to adjust my settings.

I would sell my 50 before I'd sell my 85!!!
And if my camera goes, my 50 is always there also!!!
But for portraits, unless you never do them, it's the 85 all the way on a FF!

I, too, prefer it over any of my 50mm lens. In fact, last night it was the lens I chose (on my 5D MK IV) to photograph my grandson's halloween activities.

Disable 'High Tone Priority' and you will again be able to go below iso 100.

What problems? My 5D Mark IV seems to work very well.

In the digital world, I would consider the Nikon D100 old.
I too still use cameras that have been around a while- like over 75 years and they still work great.

Assuming that you lose one stop of light with the 1.4x teleconverter, the Tamron at 600mm is f/6.3 so that would put it at around f/9 (rough estimate) with the 1.4x TC. The Canon 100-400mm is f/5.6 at 400mm and f/8 with the 1.4x TC. The 1Dx center AF point is f/8 so the Canon will work and the Tamron will not.
