Yes I have re read the article,I did a lot of film photography as a young man and decided to take up the hobby again in this digital format,I'm finding it difficult to get started with a lot to learn regarding PP, I'm keen to start with a set up that has a file with as much potential as possible...

IIRC i had setup to Kens suggestions so i guess i should get out and take some pics to see for myself,Thanks for the replies.

Ken suggests that choosing say a 11mp file size provides a sharper pixel although i will need to read it to be sure I'm interpreting him correctly, Not just to lower the file size to get more images on a card,BJ

Hi, I got a canon 5D MK11 a couple years ago and have not used it since,With a trip to Iceland and retirement coming up i decided to setup the camera,I came across the Ken Rockwell guide,I wonder if anyone has tried his method, Especially selecting a lower file size,Useful comments...

Thanks Stewart,I will adopt your suggestions, Do you agree that sharpening can be left? It will be very time consuming to adjust each one and these pics will be shown in a loop in the background whilst guests gather for a separate video presentation,Thanks Bruce.

I have not been able to discover the projector type as it will be at the venue of the presentation and acquired by others,i have assumed 1034 x 768,Does it need to be altered for Landscape/Portrait orientation? As far as sharpening is concerned the pics are not original files and may already...

I want to find out if i need to resize various images landscape/portrait to display them as a slide show from laptop to projector onto an 8ft x 8ft screen,Im assuming the size on screen is dependant on distance between the projector and the screen,Any input appreciated.

I Had assumed it was simply that an EF lens on a 'crop' camera was the problem,I'm not sure of specific issues but remember the previous owner (absolute novice) saying focus and flash problems,I have a 5D Mkii and the 50mm works without issues,Regards,BJ

I have a 600D and want to use a 50mm 1.8 mkii EF on it,The previous owner had a couple issues using the combination but as the APS-C camera uses EFS lenses I have avoided using the EF lens, My search suggests that the combination works, Anyone know more please.

Welcome mate,My Somerset location is in the name!!

Ironic that i updated the firmware prior to getting the Di622 MK1,Will look at the firmware with a view to changing back (if possible)

I got the Nissin Di622 and it does not work on my 5D MK11,When I contacted Nissin they could not modify it,Having searched a number of times it seems that Canon might have made it difficult for third party devises.

Have tried a few times to discover a simple flashgun that would work on my 5D 11,Having owned it for some time i only would have used flash once,I have ruled out Youngnu on reliability issues,I would only use it for the odd group pics,I have a 500D with its pop up flash but plan to sell it as I...

Thank you for this info,We got a demo using a single camera,It needed to be some 14/15 metres from the edge of the pitch before it captured the complete field of play,By this time play is not detailed enough,I am trying to discover if a 2 camera system can display a split screen picture,So far...

I can use a gopro from a gantry but the FOV which i believe to be about 170 is not quite enough and of course the fisheye results in a significantly curved video, I have an appointment today with a company, I am looking to use 2 cameras,One for each half of the pitch,Positioned some 10 metres...
