Thanks Marcia, Ulfric. Steve I can't seem to get used to using the rear screen so use the viewfinder instead. Also with the continuous focus I can't tell if it's in focus or not so been using one shot. Need more practice. These were hand held. Dai

Still practising with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and 60mm Macro. Heck of a difference from my 7D and Sigma 180mm Macro.

Thank you Dai

Because of a serious illness I have to sell all my gear including the 1D. I know folks will ask what the shutter count is so does anyone know how to find out please. Dai

Don't be sorry Marcia you didn't know. It's OK Dai

Thanks all for your suggestions so far, very helpful. The Olympus sounds interesting. Unfortunatly do chance of getting better, it's terminal Dai

Hi. Due to illness I can't carry the equipment I have at the moment so will have to sell it all. I have been doing wildlife, macro and studio work, I know wildlife is out of the question. I don't want to pack it in but I need some lightweight equipment with interchangeable lenses. The only...

Well just found out it only displays blinkies when looking at the image with the histogram, it then shows on the thumbnail. Dai

It's when you preview an image and the overexposed areas blink. Dai

Just bought the 550D as a walk about camera. Trying to find where to turn on blinkies when viewing an image but it seems it doesn't have this function, I really like this feature so I am a bit disappointed or am I just not able to find it. Oh, and the shutter noise is weird. Dai
