I am surprised I haven't seen this mentioned,
You can shoot in both raw and jpeg on your camera. Go to settings and quality. Then you will have a raw file to play with. The down side is you will use a lot of memory on your memory card. No big deal. Enjoy the journey

chg_canon. Thank you for your excellent advice and unwavering wisdom. You certainly belong on a web site

FYI and to clarify for the non English comprehension and even offer additional insight
The camera was repaired 8 months ago. They also failed to mention that in the future, they would no longer be supporting this camera
Yes, it broke after the 6 month warranty
Although you don't think anyone should care (least of all yourself) I think that a world class company should care

The post was offered to give some additional insight into Canon and their repairs. With a little luck, you will never need the repair services. But if you do, I hope that you get someone who cares as much as you and tells you to put it on the shelf next to your Atari and iPhone 2

I just had my first bad experience with Canon. I was at the beach for a photo surf shoot, and the camera shutter just kept going off. Pulled the battery out to soft reset, no solution. Call Canon service, they tell me the same thing, no solution
They recommend sending the camera in for repair. It will be fixed and I will have a 6 month warranty. I just got it back from being refurbished, fully repaired and perfect in JANUARY! To the tune of $180. Then the see the camera is no longer supported for repair, but they offered $30 off my next purchase through them
I was livid. This is supposed to be a world class company. I expected something more like: We are so sorry to hear about this, let us apply the $180 you have already spent toward your next purchase with us".
The representative did offer a cheaper alternative than new, REFURBISHED, they come with a 6 month warranty. Felt like I have been there and done that

JUST DISGUSTED WITH CANON. BUYER BEWARE

First look and thought... The shutter speed is to slow,
Second thought, adjust your depth of field by using a smaller aperture (f16)

Doing these two things should help, likely you will have to push up your iso to accomplish those two things.
For example, try a couple shoots on manual, using f16, 1/500 and adjust th iso to get the correct exposure.

I'll look forward to seeing the next batch of pictures, which I guess will be a week from now for Friday night football. Good luck

Ditto CO, well said.
A fourth option might be pp, isolate the bird and replace the background

This hs been a great thread..... we have gone from "nice shot".... to "can't fix stupid."

Pretty impressive. By the way, is stupid in the eye of the beholder ? or just inappropriate

Perhaps it would be better to trap mice in the barn and use them? The poor owl was definitely feeling cheated and insulted while eating the meal he had not really earned. So sad.


Great pictures. No cheating

A special thank you for including the numbers. And I love the picture.

I have got to say, if this is experimenting...... I can't wait to see the next level. WOW

Not sure if this is the obvious. But Florida
