Absolutely spectacular!

Thank you


Btw, has anyone updated their FW? If so, how's it working? Did you have Maf your lenses again?

Thanks

Thanks

Not exactly sure what you are asking but the MFA that I had previously stored per lens were still there after the firmware upgrade.

I had previously adjusted all of my lens for both my 5D3s and 7D2 - but I also have learned that you have to be extremely careful as the nature of the frequency of the light truly plays havoc (Tungsten vs outdoor shade) so you have to be very careful. I have since made sure that when shooting outdoors I return almost all my lens to 0 - and only when inside, assuming I remember, will I enable MFA to kick in.

I think he is asking as to whether the stored MAF settings will still be good if Canon snuck in something unannounced into the firmware update to correct some of the focus problems people were having or will you need to redo the MAF to new settings?

I did download the firmware update but I noticed when I unzipped it, the .pdf instructions were not included. I don't exactly remember how to do it though there is an explanation on how others did it on another thread here.

I was already planning on waiting to install it for a while anyway so I'll wait until Canon puts it on there.

Update: the .pdf file Was there... so never mind about that.

Thanks

I read on another thread that mfa values needed to be redone and found that different values were needed after the update.

Tyr,
Nice grab of breakfast, you must have been up EARLY.
Did you kmow where your Af point landed? Could it have been on the branch since it is appearing slightly front Focused?

It may have. I was also playing with the MFA settings at the time of this landing. I may have had it adjusted in that direction. My Tamron has been pretty steady with no adjustments but thought I could squeeze out a little more. I think it works best at 0.

Had a few moments with some well aged birds this evening ...

Man, I'm sure hoping I don't have to do them all over again.

Thanks

Abraham Lincoln said not to believe everything you read on the Internet.

I did the firmware update and it seems to have helped with my 70-200 f2.8ii. I was having trouble shooting track with sprinters or long jumpers coming directly at me, it would track well and then lose focus, then re capture at times. I didn't notice it at any specific focal length and I had tried all cases and changed my af tracking parameters.
When I shot track the other night (in a steady drizzle, to downpour all night) it did much better and I didn't change a thing on Case 1. I used single, expanded and all active with manual selection and they all tracked very well.
Some folks on FM were reporting hang-ups after installing the new firmware, but I didn't have any issues with mine in the first outing.
