    Help with Canon ip8750

    Canon 1D X Mk II Owners Thread

    Andy here's a thought, a friend has just bought a 5d mk iv and asked myself to set a few things up on it, bbf, frame rate etc testing I found it to have a slow fps approx 4 instead of the claimed 7 fps. I adjusted loads of the jpeg settings to off, why when she shoots raw? Remember that the...

    Canon 1D X Mk II Owners Thread

    No never as as long as they are used up within six months max 1 year they shouldn't start to fungicide. Word of warning to everyone though I putchased a multi pack 8. And found 2 yellows instead of a lgy most annoying as the lgy runs out quickest so check the insides straight away.

    Canon Pro 1/10/100 - Owners Thread

    Put it this way about 10 months ago I got a multi pack for £63 and have kept a very close eye on 8 outlets I trust and bought a 2nd pack for £65 a few months later. £72 is pretty much on the money especially if postage is included.

    I have managed to set Custom Mode 1 but am unable to set different or in fact any settings for custom mode 2 or 3. I have read the manual over and over plus searched for an answer but to no avail. I shall phone Canon Europe tomorrow to see if they can answer but thought I'd ask here. Given I...

    Regardless of which card media I use I always copy and paste my files from the card onto my separate hard drive, and I mean a physically separate hd from my OS not just a partition and anything else plus then back that up to my external portable 4tb hd. From there I then use the import in LR and...
