Looks pretty much like any other full moon. But like you, I like catching the unusual moon events. My most favorite one was catching a lunar eclipse the same night as the the winter solstice.


You are right about it being like any other moon, but like you said it was the significants of it that was unusual.

I missed the eclipse, wasn't able at the time, wish I could of gotten it.

I have looked in the books that came with my Canon 7D, and I cannot find where it gives the shutter count. Can some of the other users clue me in?


Apple has an app called "Shutter Count" which is available in the App Store, I think the cost is 2.99. Get the app, plug the camera into the computer and it brings up the shutter count and registration number and owners name. Works on any camera.

"With the free app from Canon"

Would you be kind enough to show me where that app can be found?

I know the Ken Rockwell article has been hashed over plenty on The Hog but I just wanted to publicly chastise Mr. Rockwell for his blatant disregard for those worst sufferers of that chronic malady, G.A.S.

Many of us afflicted are in fact amateurs and as such, are guilty of most, if not all, of the tresspasses described by the "pro" photog and writer.

As a result of the massive load of shame and guilt heaped on my shoulders by his insensitive critique (I am sure many of you were likewise burdened), I have incurred the most severe flare-up of the disease I think I have ever had.

Mr. Rockwell's fault:

I burned my three camera backpacks, lens caps, lens filters, tripods and straps.

I purchased (On credit of course) the biggest camera butt bag I could find, a satchel and a messenger bag. And just in case, several harnesses and photogs' vests.

I have destroyed every lens with even one overlapping millimeter and bought 300 new primes, one for each millimeter.

I destroyed all my new clean cameras and bought all new old model cameras which I ran through a dryer cycle with several lava rocks for that "worn" look.

I not only shut off the focus beeper but I pried the little speaker out.

And with all that done my status did NOT change from amateur to PRO but it did change to POOR. And my G.A.S. is worse than ever.

Mr. Rockwell, you dropped a big fat squishy steamy poop right in the middle of my pistachio ice cream. Shame on you Mr. Rockwell, shame on you.

I have been a big fan of the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 models, but this past winter I sold them and bought the VC Tamrons for my rental inventory. Excellent results from them.


Was there a specific reason for the change?

Use mode 1 when hand holding. Use mode 2 when on a monopod or panning a moving subject. Turn it off when on a tripod.


MT you said it much better than I did

I have purchased this lens from my wife. I note it has two Optical Stabilizer features (OS1 & OS2).
OS2 detects vertical camera shake and overcomes blurring. But what does OS1 do?


If your purchased it new it should come with a large white instruction sheet in several different languages. Under the heading "About OS (Optical Stabilizer) Features" It says "Set the OS (Optical Stabilizer) switch to Mode 1. Press the shutter button halfway down, confirm the image in the viewfinder is stable then take the picture"

I would say that the meaning is that Mode 1 does not have the vertical camera shake or blurring feature. Not sure what that would really be for because it also says to NOT us OS when using a tripod.

Not sure if this helps you any at all.

Is there any kind of viration reduction or "anti-shaking" setting on this camera?I've searched through the manual and the menus on the camera and do not see anything. Maybe it's not that its not there as much as I just don't see it. Anyone with this camera shed some light on this? Thank you.


I looked in the PDF manual(supplied on the CD) the only reference I could find was under "Preparation-Tips for taking good pictures-Prevent jitter(camera shake)" If I am reading it correctly the only mode this works in is the "Auto mode". Hope this helps you.

Open two finder windows and drag & drop is the easiest for me.


Thanks David, I wondered how this was done with Finder

What is the preferred way to send a camera to Canon for maintenance (no local shops)?
