TechRep Checking in...

Hello ya'll...I'm at work right now so I don 't have much time, but I wanted to say "hey" to everyone. I work at Canon in digital cameras, so if you have problems jot them down and in my spare time I'll try to answer them...otherwise I am one of the techs available at our toll free number.

Happy shooting!

Welcome to the Forums...

Now you've opened the flood gates. Say bye-bye to your once spare time. There's plenty a questions going around, just pick a forum and go fishing...

CoolWalker welcome, and I imagine there will be plenty of questions for you.


Oh, oh I got a question...why are the L lenses white but designated an L by a L?


edit:
Ok so I know it is not a technical question but just thought maybe we could get an answer to that age old question of why the white lens bodies.

'Cuz if it was a "L" you wouldn't be able to see it.

The white lens indicate the "Pro" models...so, you must be a pro now

The white lens is actually to reduce heat build up in the lens. Article all about it in the latest EOS Magazine.

On one hand yes, but mostly Canon needed to be able to distinguish between reg. and pro rapidly so grandma would know the difference. Less heat, yes, to a point, but mostly to distinguish between the two types. That's "officially" what we are supposed to say.

Why are the smaller L series lenses black then ?

We can find no logic to that...no one ever said why some were black when most were white, however all of them will have the red ring...no red ring, it "ain't" L series.

Hi CoolWalker and welcome!

Got a slightly more technical question for you:

What causes luminance and chroma noise at high ISO settings in image sensors ?

Uh, and I might as well ask the logical follow-up question to that one:

The clever tech boffins at Canon seem to be getting better and better at reducing high ISO noise - where are we heading with ever increasing ISO's ? Will we be having chats in forums in a few years time, raving on about how good ISO32000 is on the new Canon 1Ds Mark V ?

Cheers,

Some causes can be heat, radiation, uv rays, electrostatic charge...some people believe that if you place your camera in the refer it helps...might feel good on a hot summer day

What's all this business about refer now?!

Refer = reefer = refrigerator (I think)


Not sure that's really good advice, BTW.

Reefer? Roll one up!

It's spelled Refer, but pronounced Reefer and means (yes) Refrigerator. Also referred (not reeferred) to as an ice box, fridge, etc.

</tongue-in-cheek>

But, seriously folks, I would not, under any conditions, suggest putting your camera in a refrigerator. The quick temperature changes, both going in and coming out, will cause condensation to form in your lenses and most likely inside the camera. As we all know, water/condensation and electronics do not get along too well.
