5DS and 5DSR PHOTO THREAD

Wonderful tulip at Allan Gardens during the Easter Flow Show

Some pictures from my new 5DS:

I have been thinking a lot about wifi and cameras recently, so I thought I would see if I could find a way / test out, the Canon w-e1 wifi SD card in the 5DSR - and see if, after using it, there could be any reason I might ever use it.

First of all, I will report, it does work - I upgraded the new firmware and the w-e1 works - it isn't exactly stupidly easy to setup but it does work. The one, semi bug I found, using my Android phone, was that when you connect to you 5DSR's wifi network, since there is no internet connection, the phone shows it is connected - but the 5DSR, with wifi chip, does not - and that is because I had to further answer the phone's question, which was buried not on the top active screen, if I really wanted to connect to a network that wasn't connect to the internet - once I answered yes - everything worked.

It isn't elegant but it works - you can operate your camera from your phone, but you can't use the camera manually if the phone / ipad is connected (you can save the connections for 3 different devices to make life easier - iPad / phone / etc) - you have to disconnect the phone from the camera to release the camera.

For you tripod users out there, who may want to leave the camera and walk away - I can definitely see this being useful.

I tried to pretend I was taking the camera to an event, fire off some pictures, turn on wifi, connect phone to camera, search for a picture I wanted, download it to the phone, launch LR Mobile, crop and do a super fast edit, and see it it was remotely doable - lets say, not if you are the paid photog at a wedding - but maybe at a family event, sporting event, it is possible with some practise.

Here is a self portrait, after about 1 hour of practice, that I very quickly took using the phone as the remote, downloaded the picture to my phone, edited it in LR Mobile, and then posted it to Flickr - did this in 5 minutes (but takes practice).

Hey Charlie, I really enjoy viewing your work. I've never understood though why you say “Not for everyone...”

Have some confidence my friend. Your work is wonderful and should be shared with everyone.

Cheers,
Bryan
