40D Burst Rate Not Hitting 6.5 FPS

[mattograph]

Thats it.

I am taking away your cut and paste, young man.

[number six]

As three-dimensional beings, we perceive time only as a result of memory. We remember what was as a variable interval from what is now. If we had zero memory, we could not detect time - we would exist only for the moment.
(snip. snipsnipsnip. and snip more!)



Excellent explication, Sir!

The short synopsis: we invented time to keep everything from happening at once. (Joke, guys.)

That's where Einstein used Tensor Calculus to handle the time element. Not intuitive for us, but then ol' Albert was the genius, wasn't he? It was obvious to him.

Tensor Calculus isn't for the faint of heart. But then, neither is the universe.

:cool:

[tonylong]

Heh! That was a Stealthy Ninja attack:)!

Y'know, I remember (as a lad) seeing the headline in the newspaper: "Einstein is dead!"

Wow. I actually overlapped his existence by a few years. One of a kind, y'know...

[skygod44]

Heh! That was a Stealthy Ninja attack:)!

Indeed!

And now, I feel the need for a lobotomy. I wonder if Jack Nicholson would oblige....?

Hey, Ninja obviously attended classes: Einsteinian physics and how to turn them on their head! We can only hope that he hasn't gotten into the depths of quantum physics an how to totally turn it all upside down...he's only touching the surface here...

GOOD think I don't know how to read* or I'd go crazy.

Please Tony....I beg you on my knees....do not raise that brain-shredder - QUANTUM PHYSICS!!!!

I left all that, along with Schrodinger's Cat long ago in School-Land!

Oh and everyone knows The Stealthy One cut 'n' pasted those posts! He's not that stealthy!

[Stealthy Ninja]

It is well-known that the classical coherence properties
of an electromagnetic field vary due to propagation [1].
The most well-known example of this is the increase of
the spatial coherence of the radiated field from an incoherent
source upon propagation [2, 3]; other examples
are the Wolf effect, the variation of the spectrum of light
under propagation [4, 5], and the change of polarization
of light under propagation [6].


That's what they say.

My favourite logical fallacy:

Appeal to force - Telling the hearer that something bad will happen to him if he does not accept the argument.
Example: If you don't want to get beaten up, you will agree with what I say.
Example: Convert or die.

Examples are not religious discussion. :p

You're using the exact logical fallacy too. :lol:

AND you used:

Ad hominem - Attacking the individual instead of the argument.
Example: You are so stupid your argument couldn't possibly be true.
Example: I figured that you couldn't possibly get it right, so I ignored your comment.

Genetic Fallacy

[tonylong]

Genetic Fallacy

Hey now, that's my excuse -- make up your own:)!

[Stealthy Ninja]

LOL

Genetic Fallacy - Attempting to endorse or disqualify a claim because of the origin or irrelevant history of the claim.
Example: The **** (Hitler et al) regime developed the Volkswagen Beetle. Therefore, you should not buy a VW Beetle because of who started it.
Example: Frank just got out of jail last year; since it was his idea to start the hardware store, I can't trust him.

[skygod44]

But then, it makes a tad of sense:)!

[Stealthy Ninja]

No, that would be a genetic fallacy mixed with a little ad hominem for flavour.

:lol:

Perhaps it's an "appeal to the popular". LOL

Ah, so you claim being "genetically disposed" to be Stealthy, and I am "genetically disposed" to being, well, me...well ummm...:)!

[Stealthy Ninja]

not genetically is in genes. It means (in this case) appealing to the past to justify current thoughts/actions in a way that isn't logical.

However, I see by your avatar (which I assume is your real head) that you've had a few genetic difficulties, so I'll stop before I get into ad hominem attacks.

:lol: :p

:lol: :p

Heh! Not to get too serious, but the way I see it, a genetic fallacy would attack a person on the basis of who he/she is "genetically", as in I'm a white male, therefore I will be, say, a racist or an anti femenist. Ad hoc is more about finding a fault in your behavior and using it as an attack on your argument, so, I say silly things about politics so would know nothing useful about, say, photography.

But I'm a hawk head and you're a ninja -- what do ya make of that?

[Stealthy Ninja]

"Genetic" isn't the same in philosophy.

Here it means:

"The genetic fallacy is a fallacy of irrelevance where a conclusion is suggested based solely on something or someone's origin rather than its current meaning or context. This overlooks any difference to be found in the present situation, typically transferring the positive or negative esteem from the earlier context."

Which includes but is not exclusive to race or physical genetics.

Ninjas and Hawks are half brothers!

Man, how'd this thread get so intellectual? It's about Lightrules................................. perhaps we're being ironic?! ??? ;)

Ad Hominem is attacking the man (or woman) not the argument.

So let's go Ad Hominem all over Lightrules. :p

[Stealthy Ninja]

BTW in science and philosophy, ad hoc means the addition of extraneous hypotheses to a theory in order to save it from being falsified.

In other words adding some BS to avoid being wrong. :lol:

We are being so off topic here...let's come up with some good fallacies about LightRules and 6.5 fps:)!

How about probability: Because LightRules was likely to find a problem with the 40D, it was inevitable that he would, and the failure of th e 40D to reach 6.5 fps shows that the camera can't perform!

[Stealthy Ninja]

Heh heh, good one.

When lightrules uses a 40D, it doesn't go to high speed burst. Therefore, the high speed burst function causes Lightrules to act stupidly. If you don't agree with me/us an hawk and a ninja will beat you up.

[tonylong]

Well, hey, let me lay this on you:

I believe, from all the evidence that has been presented on this forum, that not just the 40D but all the Canon DSLRS have serious problems, and so when the mighty LightRules claims he can't get 6.5 fps, that means that the 40D can't get 6.5 fps, case settled!

[skygod44]

...However, I see by your avatar (which I assume is your real head) that you've had a few genetic difficulties, so I'll stop before I get into ad hominem attacks.
:lol: :p
Hmm...let me get this straight. Tony is a bird. He's had some genetic issues. The Ninj' doesn't want to get into "Ad Hominem" attacks.
Well, are Ad Avisem attacks, ok, ya dum ol' hawk? So...who ever said boyds could buy cameras anyways....let alone take dose fancy-pantsy pictures and talk all clever wid us humans?!?!? Aye....aye??!
[Think you need an Al Capone accent to pull that one off]
;)
We are being so off topic here...
You're telling me!!! And I thought just the Ninj' was capable of such distraction...Tony, I'm impressed!

You know, if a noobie saw that, especially after just buying a 40D, he or she, or in your case, being a bird, "it", would be sooo upset.

[S.Horton]

@Ninja I'll need a time machine to read what you posted yesterday, because my memory's not as good as it used to be.

;}

[mattograph]

At the rate you guys are going, soon Light Rules and Chuck Norris will be synonymous.

[dispatchermike21]

OK so maybe LR's problem wasn't that his 40D was not hitting 6.5fps but his short term memory was not perciveing the 6.5fps dimension at the time there for even though it happened for LR's it didn't.

[ZGMF-X20A]

At the rate you guys are going, soon Light Rules and Chuck Norris will be synonymous.


If you have 40D and LightRules can't get 6.5fps, then you can't have 6.5 fps
LightRules always rules in FPS game. He can play 6.5 FPS games all at once when he turn on his burst mode.
Canon pays Lightrules everytime a 40D reach 6.5 FPS
LightRules can shoot at 6.5 FPS while sleeping
LightRules can reach 13FPS by shooting 2 40D at the same time


:p

^Score. Those are awesome. We need more!!!

[arnie12]

Every camera LR uses shoots with 6.5fps. This is true for the CANON EOS 300D, 1D Mark III and A-1.

[apersson850]

Why is this thread in a forum that's a subforum to "Sharing knowhow"?

[ZGMF-X20A]

^Score. Those are awesome. We need more!!!

6. LightRules can make light move @ 6.5 FPS
7. LightRules can win any battle by shooting @ 6.5 FPS
8. Adobe wanted to use the name LightRules but is too scared to offend Jojo. So, they change the name to LightRoom
9. There's night and day because LightRules tell the sun to stop shining at night
10. LightRules doesn't need a detergent. He just order lights to shine brighter on a dirty clothes for a perfect white :)
11. Canon made the 40D by asking lightrules to shout at the 30D to shoot @ 6.5FPS
12. LightRules can win any war because he can shoot @ 6.5FPS

Yur doin it wrong.

Chuck Norris sent Lightrules a total gym 2000, but Light sent it back, explaining he only used the Total Gym 6500.

ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT FOR LIGHTRULE'S AWESOMENESS
I define "not being awesome" to be: not finding the H fps setting on a 40D.
Since I cannot conceive of Lightrules not finding the H fps setting, the H fps setting must not exist.
Therefore, Lightrules is awesome.

[Stealthy Ninja]

If that doesn't work...

Once Lightrules tested a camera, he said I cant even put Nikon on this one,thats how Pentax was born
Lightrules doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.
Only Lightrules can take pictures of Lightrules; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius

For every 10 shots that Lightrules takes, 11 are keepers.
Lightrules's digital files consist of 0's, 1's AND 2's.
Lightrules never focus, everything moves into his DoF

The term tripod was coined after his silhouette/shadow

Lightrules never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer

Yeah. The original RRTP hit 10K posts in 3 months; this thread's been around 14 months and is only at 1/4 the posts. I'm sure JoJo's glad to know it'll die of old age before it reproduces.

Yeah, but this thread is only inhabited but few unlike the RRTP. WE do keep getting new guests though.

Ya looked? So do they. Current RRTP thread's got at least 8 new people since it started 6 weeks ago. Obviously, this thread is of little interest to the world at large, and deserves to wither away on the vine.

This is a technical discussion thread. No photos will accurately display 6.5fps, so all we get is a bunch of goofy ninja stills.

Well, you know he'd have to Rick -- that dang canyon moves so fast it's just not adequate to anticipate the "moment". I figure firing away a few second burst would get him at least one usable shot, right:)?

Canon said they were sorry for putting the continuous high speed mode (6.5FPS) option in such a poor and almost invisible place to find it, so they apologized. They said it was their fault and no one should be subject to ridicule and mockery for their mistake. I told them they have no idea... :cry:

Reminds me of an old saying, but I can't think of the ending...
Maybe about, "A bad workman...............something, something, something" - nope, just can't recall the ending. Oh well. Maybe someone knows it?

So, LR, how are you these days? Still being ridiculed? That's harsh isn't it.

I have not followed that whole story -- Near as I can tell, I need a firmware upgrade, that's it, but I'll have to check closer......

[Perry Ge]

Well apparently the fix works - it seems like they replace a few washers and screws - the few who have gotten them back are reporting very positive AF performance. It's just a problem when y'know, I'm booked to shoot every week and Canon keeps trying to take my goddamn cameras back.

Is it affecting you as such, or simply something to perhaps "avoid" an issue later?

Bit of both, really. 99% of the time the Mark 3 is the best camera ever. The other 1% of the time I don't know WTF the AF is doing.

Do let the community know when it's sorted, as the replacement (about a year after release) is probably the dream body I'll actually be able to own.... :D

Haggis Recipe
Ingredients:
Set of sheep's heart, lungs and liver (cleaned by a butcher)
One beef bung (I DO NOT want to know what this is...) :shock:
3 cups finely chopped suet
One cup medium ground oatmeal
Two medium onions, finely chopped
One cup beef stock
One teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
One teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon mace

Method:
Trim off any excess fat and sinew from the sheep's intestine and, if present, discard the windpipe. Place in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for an hour or possibly longer to ensure that they are all tender. Drain and cool.

Some chefs toast the oatmeal in an oven until it is thoroughly dried out (but not browned or burnt!)

Finely chop the meat and combine in a large bowl with the suet, oatmeal, finely chopped onions, beef stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mace. Make sure the ingredients are mixed well. Stuff the meat and spices mixture into the beef bung which should be over half full. Then press out the air and tie the open ends tightly with string. Make sure that you leave room for the mixture to expand or else it may burst while cooking. If it looks as though it may do that, prick with a sharp needle to reduce the pressure.

Place in a pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil and immediately reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for three hours. Avoid boiling vigorously to avoid bursting the skin.

Serve hot with "champit tatties and ba**** neeps" (mashed/creamed potato and turnip/swede).

I think you'd better apologize to the entire Scottish nation (especially, his holiness, Lord Sir Sean Connory!) for that comment. Comparing a haggis to a hot-dog is tantamount to treason!
