Mmmm, interesting! I'll do some tests over Xmas. Meanwhile, thanks and um, Merry Xmas.

The battery in my 5DIII has started going flat if left in the camera - even when it's switched off, usually over the course of a few days. I have two batteries, both Canon, puchased at the same time as camera and they both do the same if left installed in body. Now I realise that many will say...

Sorry about delayed reply. I too get a sore eyebrow when using 5D III - mainly in portrait and was going to look for a moe padded option at some point.

Thank you for your input. Any recommendations for printers in or around West Wiltshire please?

BTW, thanks for responses so far - all input gratefully received.

So then, I could carefully upsize the image's DPI to say 600 (10% at a time), or just leave it to the pro printer to sort out. I've read that the latter is probably preferable, so is there a local printer in W. Wilts that anyone might recommend?

...I should add that it will be viewed from a distance of about 6-12ft away.

I have been asked to produce some prints for a car showroom, based on images that I already have. My question is please, one of the selected image is only 1.2MB (1700 x 800 pixels @ 241dpi) and the required image needs to be about 2M wide. Is this asking too much of the original image? If not...

Again, I agree in principle, but that's what makes the hunt for the 'wildlife' more worthwhile, isn't it? :suspect: Imagine getting a better (subjective I know) shot from the top o' the grandstand compared to being behind the armco. It does happen.

Good questions, well presented etc. and I would tend to agree with you, but he is um, somewhat stubborn, so tempting as it is to say that I'll take him out myself for an agreed fee (:naughty:) - he just fancies a day in a group to learn the specific techniques from the pros. Yes I know that it's...

A pal of mine has talked to me about wanting to do a course in motorsport photography. He's a Nikon user (bless 'im ;) ) with some decent equipment et al. I've looked up one or two around the country, including one at Brands. But, any recommendations from you guys please?

Actually, just another thought... ...I wonder if the MkI will trigger via the MkII? I've got some Studio Lighting already, but this could provide a more mobile option 'on location'. Has anyone tried slaving a Di622 MkI off of a Di622 MkII?

Not quite what I wanted to hear Stuart but sound advice, thank you. It looks like it's time to upgrade to a MkII then.

Hi. Posted a plea for help on the 5D MkIII Thread, but in hindsight wondered if it would get seen!?! Anyway, problem is that I can't get my Nissin Di622 flashgun to flash, whether connected via hotshoe or via sync cable. Is this a known issue and is there a workaround please? BTW: It...

Hi All, I'm having problems getting my Nissin Di622 flash to work with my 5D III, whether via hotshoe or sync. Flashgun works fine on my 40D and daughter's 400D. Any advice please as to why it isn't working?
