does the eye af works on your 24-70 canon?

It doesn't, unfortunately. Surprisingly, face detect works though.

Thanks. Enjoy taking pic of your baby. My son is scared of my camera now. hahaha giving me sour faces already.

Nice Apple store.

Thanks man. My oldest is already getting to the age where he doesn't like getting his picture taken. Thankfully, the other two don't know any better. They're all I have time to shoot these days. Makes for good practice. I'd like to have more variety in what I shoot these days, but am making the most of this time as well.

I suppose we could also post these images in the corresponding lens thread too.

This was shot using my Canon 70-200 @200mm. AF worked just fine focusing on the black phoebe.

Having issues getting aperture, AF points and focus confirm with my Zeiss and Canon lenses. Probably something to do with the Metabones adapter. Here's a couple (lucky ones) without being able to adjust aperture or focus confirm. The first with the ZE 100mm the second with Zeiss ZE 21mm.

We now have the opposite problem we had a couple of months back....the lounge has too much activity. Lots of discussion and not enough photos!

you're absolutely right.

If you don't have one on order, but are interested in getting one, a bunch of online stores got this camera in stock today. Focus Camera still has some, I believe.

I am looking forward to renting this camera. It seems to be a great camera but to back about the compromised RAW processing.

Try this:
Take one of the problem JPGs and open it in PS.
Then go to Edit>convert to profile

A dialog box will come up that shows the color profile in the image and a destination space you can specify.

The first box will tell you what the space is. If it is Adobe RGB then set the destination space as SRGB and apply the correction.
It should work just fine.
TEHN you need to go to whatever RAW converter you are using and see what the JPG output specs are. I am suspecting that somewhere, somehow it got changed to Adobe RGB
If so, just change it to SRGB and apply the change.

Now, if your files ARE in SRGB already AND your RAW converters are correctly outputting files, I am stumped.

Thanks! I'll give this a try.

Anyone here of any updates about the overheating while shooting 4k issue? I love this camera but for the price it needs to be 100%. I've also heard a lot of complaints about long exposure quality.

the hot pixels issue was caused by lightroom. with capture one, it's not there.

Vinz. Don't mean to.bang on about this but lightroom doesn't cause hot pixels, it just doesn't automatically get rid of them. C1 seems to remove them on import. On a sample raw with hot pixels I opened it in LR and C1. C1 had hardly any remaining but the image looked slightly softer to my eyes which made me think C1's method of removing them was like noise reduction and a bit of detail is lost.

You can tell its not LR causing the hot pixels as they are visible on the camera lcd when zoomed in. I had it on my a7r with really long exposures at night

Do you have any examples of this you could post?

Im currently not 100% convinced there is an issue at the moment (there are definitely hot pixels from long exposures but how bad they are seems to differ depending on where you read). On FM forums a bit back there was a RAW file provided which was really bad for noise and hot pixels. After that members in the sony a7x lounge thread provided me with RAWS with similar settings and the issue was far, far less. I cant really explain that.

However, my A7RII is in transit just now and I should have it by Friday I think and this is something I will be testing. I plan on testing some over 30 second shots using the Lee big stopper with LENR switched on and also switched off. I also plan on doing some night photography to test the issue at shutter speeds of a few minutes/low iso and sub 30 seconds at high iso. I will report back what I find. This could be a deal breaker for me so im hoping that something weird had happened on the RAW supplied on FM forums
