Canon has issued a service notice for the recently released EOS 7D
<http://blogs.zdnet.com/digitalcameras/?p=1713&tag=col1;post-1713>
digital SLR, acknowledging a ghosting problem that occurs in images
captured during continuous shooting (which the 7D does up to 8 fps).
Apparently, under certain conditions, traces of one photo can be seen in
the next frame. According to the notice, “This phenomenon is not
noticeable in an image with optimal exposure. The phenomenon may become
more noticeable if a retouching process such as level compensation is
applied to emphasize the image.”
The company is confident that a change in software will eliminate the
problem and plans to issue a firmware update to address the issue.

i would also like to remind people to change subject lines, especilly when

*Canon EOS 7D Digital Camera - Hands-On Preview - The Imaging Resource!
*
*Metering*. As I said, the Canon 7D's new AF system is tightly linked to
the Metering system, much like recent Nikon systems, and even the
concepts are similar; but the uses are not the same. It all comes down
to the Canon 7D's iFCL, or Intelligent Focus Color Luminosity metering
system.
First the new meter has 63 zones, and they are linked to the 19
autofocus points. Sound familiar? The metering sensor has two layers:
the top is sensitive to Red and Green, and the bottom layer to Blue and
Green. So it can measure a full spectrum of RGB, rather than just
luminosity; and when it compares the data between the AF system and its
own color system, the Canon 7D has a better understanding of the image
area; not only what colors there are, but what is where.
Nikon uses this same type of data to track objects moving through the
image area, augmenting their continuous focus mode. Canon does not. They
have other fish to fry. First, they make up for the normal foibles of
silicon sensors by detecting Red and compensating silicon's red
sensitivity, which gives it a tendency to overexpose red objects. The
Canon 7D's meter, now having color vision, can make the necessary change.

Hello all
I was just wondering, would it be difficult / feasible to add a curve for each
channel in the displayed histogram on the 300D ?
Or maybe just display the existing histogram as a line curve, not filled in,
then draw another curve for each of the RGB channels on the same graph.
Or if too hard, just draw / display a dot of the corresponding color when the
histogram in that specific channel has been clipped. Let's say a red dot on the
right side for example in case the red channel is overexposed.
Or, if still too hard, be able to select one single channel for the histogram
(for example people who shoot with IR modded cameras mostly need the red
channel), and maybe be able to use a button when in info mode to switch the
active channel (less important)
Or, use one of the non-functionning custom function settings to just switch the
histogram from luminance (existing) to only red channel display (let's call this
a "IR-oriented histogram" custom function)
What do you think ? I don't really have much experience with the firmware
complexity so I don't really realize what's hard to do and what's not :)
Thanks !
Thanks Roy, Steve, and Jon. It sounds like my expectations were off when I
added the hack, thinking there would be 2 separate files (the RAW and the
JPEG), but understand how it works now. So thanks for clearing that up.
I do, however, appreciate the tips on "ideal" settings!

Yes, the hack only gives you RAW in more situations (like RAW in Sports mode),
not actually RAW+JPG as separate files. Setting RAW+JPG-small is what I use,
so the estimates of how many pictures are left is more accurate and I get more
capacity out of my card.
I use Lightroom to process my RAWs and have little use for any accompanying
JPGs, but I think you can use the Canon's RAW converter: Digital Photo
Professional (DPP), to extract any embedded JPG. The .THM files are,
themselves, tiny JPGs, if you rename their extension from .THM to .JPG.

In my experience with this, I found that changing the quality changed the size

Hi Everyone -
I'm a newbie to this group - thanks for having me.
I just updated the firmware for my Canon 300D using the unDutchables 0.2.3
hack (file name E3kr111-023). The primary reason was so I could take
advantage of shooting RAW + JPEG, since the only options with the 300D are
Raw OR JPEG.
I changed the settings in the custom options in the menu to select
"RAW+HIGH". In the regular menu, I've tried the settings on both JPG and
RAW. Regardless of which setting I had, I only get either RAW or JPEG
(based on my selection in the regular menu).
Is there something else that I need to change in order to make this happen?
Thanks!

One more thing. http://www.syeager.org/300d/forum/ contains several hidden
sections covering the technical details of reverse engineering. We kept
them hidden from general public to avoid any legal problems. I should warn
you, though, they are rather boring. Bits and Bytes. But if you are
interested, send PM to admin of the forum and I will open the access to
hidden sections.

Subject: RE: [canondigicamhacking] Re: 400d RAW hack?
In fact, 300D hack does allow you to save raw in any mode. However I find
these preprogrammed modes rather useless. This is my personal opinion.
Original firmware from 300D was actually extracted from the camera itself
using some UNIX utility "I forgot the name" J So it makes it legal to
modify. But in practice it's easier to work with the firmware update. And
the last, newer entry level DSLR cameras after 300D already have most of the
functions people want, so nobody expressed any interest in hacking them.

It's practically dead now, but I still keep it alive.

Subject: [canondigicamhacking] Re: 400d RAW hack?
as it says on the home page, there are known software hacks for 350D or
later models because there has been no release of firmware upgrades, which
is required for back engineering. (someone correct me if that is incorrect
or out of date information.)
also i don't think RAW is available for any of the custom modes on any EOS
cameras. That is the nature of those modes. They are for quick easy shots
and RAW is not really relevant to them. I'm sure someone will correct me if
I'm wrong on that, too!

In fact, 300D hack does allow you to save raw in any mode. However I find
these preprogrammed modes rather useless. This is my personal opinion.
Original firmware from 300D was actually extracted from the camera itself
using some UNIX utility "I forgot the name" J So it makes it legal to
modify. But in practice it's easier to work with the firmware update. And
the last, newer entry level DSLR cameras after 300D already have most of the
functions people want, so nobody expressed any interest in hacking them.
