<br />
<h3>Canon EOS 6D (v.1.1.7), EOS 70D (v.1.1.2), EOS SL1 (v.1.0.1), EOS Rebel T5i/700D (v.1.1.5), EOS Rebel T6/1300D (v.1.0.2)</h3>These firmware updates all fix the same problem:<br />
<ul><li>Corrects a phenomenon in which when using the camera with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens, even if lens aberration correction is set to “Enable”, correction will not be applied.<br />
<small>Note: The update for the EOS 6D does not include correction for the problem with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM as this lens is incompatible with that camera 😀.</small></li>
</ul>Canon is working to fix similar problems in their EOS-1D X, EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D, EOS 60D, EOS Rebel T1i/500D, EOS Rebel T2i/550D, EOS Rebel T3i/600D, EOS Rebel T4i/650D, EOS Rebel T3/1100D, EOS Rebel T5/1200D, EOS M, and EOS M2 cameras.<br />

Like it's predecessor, the Mark III, it is a full frame camera with very good specifications.<br />
<br />
One of the most interesting features, for me at least, is the “Dual Pixel RAW” feature. A feature that allows one to perform some very sophisticated image microadjustments (focus), bokeh shift, and ghosting reduction – during post processing!<sup>*</sup><br />
<small><sup>*</sup>currently only possible with Canon's own DPP</small><br />
<br />
While I haven't yet seen this in reality myself yet, this sounds as a really powerful feature that other camera manufacturers should have a look at implementing too!<br />
<br />
The 5D Mark IV will be available beginning of September for around $3,499.00 / €4,129.99 (body only)<br />
<br />
<h3 style="clear: both;">
Specifications</h3>
<ul>
<li>30.4MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF</li>
<li>DCI 4K 30/24p video using Motion JPEG + 4K Frame Grab</li>
<li>61-point AF system with 41 cross-type sensors (centre point sensitive to -3 EV)</li>
<li>Dual Pixel AF (sensitive to -4EV) for continuous Servo AF in stills and video</li>
<li>ISO 100-32,000 (expandable to 102,400)</li>
<li>7 fps continuous shooting</li>
<li>Dual Pixel Raw</li>
<li>150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor</li>
<li>1.62M-dot 3.2" full-time touchscreen</li>
<li>Wi-Fi w/ NFC + GPS</li>
<li>Built-in bulb timer interval timers</li>
<li>Improved weather-sealing</li>
</ul>

<br />
You can download the firmware updates from the Nikon site:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/191.html" target="_blank">D500 firmware C1.02</a></li>
<li><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/192.html" target="_blank">D3s firmware A1.03/B1.02</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Fixed in D500 firmware version C1.02 </h4>
<ul>
<li>Addressed an issue that sometimes caused errors with certain UHS-II SD memory cards. As we were able to confirm that these were read errors arising not in the camera but in the cards themselves, we addressed the issue with a work-around that switches temporarily to UHS-I mode when a card-side error occurs in UHS-II mode. The camera switches back to UHS-II mode when turned off and then on again or when the standby timer restarts. Card-side read errors may still occur after the update, albeit very infrequently.</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Fixed in D3s firmware version A1.03/B1.02</h4>
<ul>
<li>The battery level indicator would on rare occasions flash if the camera was turned on with <b>Clean at shutdown</b> or <b>Clean at startup & shutdown</b> selected for <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>Clean image sensor</b> > <b>Clean at startup/shutdown</b>.</li>
<li>Two different pictures with the same file number would on rare occasions be recorded to both memory cards if two cards were inserted with <b>Overflow</b> selected for <b>SHOOTING MENU</b> > <b>Slot 2</b>.</li>
</ul>

Canon released a firmware update for its flagship 1D X II camera. The firmware addresses an issue with SanDisk CFast memory cards corrupting images.<br />
<br />
Note: the issue is actually a bug in SanDisk's cards, not in the camera. Canon, however, still was able to provide a solution for it.<br />
<br />

<br />
As already previously announced by Nikon, the D5 can now record (4K) videos of up to 29:59 minutes. But there are a host of other important updates as well (see below for the full list).<br />
<br />
The 1.10 firmware update can be downloaded from the Nikon <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/188.html" target="_blank">download centre website</a>.<br />
<br />
New/improved features:<br />
<ul><li>The camera can now record movies up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds long. Movies are recorded across up to 8 files, each up to 4GB size, which can be joined together using the ViewNX-Movie Editor option in ViewNX-i version 1.2.0 or later.</li>
<li>An <b>Electronic VR</b> option has been added to the <b>MOVIE SHOOTING MENU</b>. Note that electronic vibration reduction is not available at frame sizes of 3840×2160 or 1920×1080 crop, and that the angle of view is slightly reduced when electronic vibration reduction is in effect.</li>
<li>A <b>Flicker reduction</b> option has been added to the <b>PHOTO SHOOTING MENU</b>.</li>
<li><b>Dynamic-area AF (9 points)</b> has been added to the AF-area mode options available during viewfinder photography. </li>
<li>The chief changes to viewfinder photography autofocus are: <ul><li>Improved camera response when the button assigned <b>Auto-area AF</b> using Custom Setting f1 (<b>Custom control assignment</b>) > <b>AF-area mode</b> or <b>AF-area mode + AF-ON</b> is pressed to temporarily select auto-area AF.</li>
<li>Improved tracking when <b>Wide</b> is selected for Custom Setting a5 (<b>3D-tracking watch area</b>) and 3D-tracking is selected for AF-area mode.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The following changes have been made to the shooting display in the web browser when <b>Silent photography</b> is selected in HTTP server mode: <ul><li>An “SL” (“silent”) icon has been added to the release mode button.</li>
<li>The “number of shots remaining” display for continuous release modes now shows the time remaining.</li>
<li>Exposure compensation can now be adjusted by up to ±3.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The file name (extension “.NDF”) is now displayed in HTTP server mode when Image Dust Off data are displayed in a web browser either full frame or in the image viewer.</li>
<li>The web browser displays for computers, iPads, and Android OS now identify white balance presets 1 through 6 by number when preset manual white balance is selected in HTTP server mode.</li>
<li>If movie recording is started while the camera is focusing in movie live view, the camera will now stop focusing before beginning recording.</li>
</ul><br />
Fixed issues:<br />
<ul><li>The camera would sometimes record the date of recording incorrectly during leap years and the like.</li>
<li>The <b>Save/load settings</b> option in the <b>SETUP MENU</b> would only load up to 10 of the up to 20 items that could be stored in “My Menu”.</li>
<li>The camera would display the encryption key for <b>Direct (access point)</b> connections when searching for wireless networks using <b>Search for wireless network</b> with <b>Direct (access point)</b> selected in the <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>Network</b> connection wizard.</li>
<li>The device would sometimes be unable to connect to the D5 when <b>Connect and exit wizard</b> was chosen with <b>Direct (access point)</b> selected in the <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>Network</b> connection wizard.</li>
<li>The OS X edition of the Wireless Transmitter Utility would not function as expected when used to edit or add profiles for a camera connected via USB if <b>Password protection</b> was enabled for wireless or Ethernet LANs in the <b>Network</b> > <b>Network settings</b> menu.</li>
<li>The camera would sometimes not correctly display pictures created using the <b>Trim</b> option in the <b>RETOUCH MENU</b>.</li>
<li>If playback zoom was activated while the memory card access lamp was lit, the picture would sometimes not display correctly or the camera would zoom in on a point other than the active focus point if: <ul><li><b>RAW Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2</b> was selected for <b>Role played by card in Slot 2</b> in the <b>PHOTO SHOOTING MENU</b>,</li>
<li><b>On</b> was selected for <b>Image review</b> in the <b>PLAYBACK MENU</b>,</li>
<li>Memory cards were inserted in Slots both 1 and 2, and</li>

Mostly the fixes are minor, but it is always a good idea to stay at the latest firmware releases.<br />
<br />
Here are the recent firmware updates and their changes (click on the header to directly go to the download page on the Nikon website).<br />
<h3><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/185.html" target="_blank">D4s Firmware C1.31</a></h3><ul><li>Fixed an issue that occurred with WR-R10 wireless remote controller firmware version 3.00. In rare cases, the camera would fail to display the number of exposures remaining or would take about a minute to power down when the WR-R10 was connected.</li>
</ul><h3><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/184.html" target="_blank">D500 Firmware C1.01</a></h3><ul><li>Fixed an issue that sometimes resulted in the options for <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>Language</b> not displaying correctly.</li>
</ul><h3><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/180.html" target="_blank">D810 Firmware C1.11</a> / <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/181.html">D810A Firmware C1.01</a></h3><ul><li>Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the camera to stop responding when attached to a WR‑R10 wireless remote controller running firmware version 3.00. </li>
</ul><h3><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/178.html" target="_blank">D7200 Firmware C1.01</a></h3><ul><li>Selecting <b>Firmware version</b> in the <b>SETUP MENU</b> would not display “C X.XX L X.XXX”.</li>
<li>About 4 seconds of static could be heard on audio recorded with external HDMI recorders during movie live view.</li>
<li>Exposure compensation would fail to produce the desired results if a negative value was selected when NEF (RAW) images were processed using the <b>NEF (RAW) processing</b> option in the <b>RETOUCH MENU</b>.</li>
<li>February 29th would sometimes not display correctly in leap years.</li>
</ul><h4><a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/179.html" target="_blank">WR-1 Firmware 1.01</a></h4><ul><li>The D5 and D500 ISO sensitivity displays are now supported. If you are using two WR-1 units, one as a receiver and the other as a transmitter, update both to firmware version 1.01. If you are using the WR-1 with a WR-R10, have a Nikon-authorized service representative update the WR-R10 to firmware version 3.00.</li>
<li>When used as a transmitter to change ISO sensitivity for a receiving camera, the WR-1 no longer cycles continuously through the available values.</li>

<br />
You can download firmware C 1.01 from the <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/178.html" target="_blank">Nikon website</a>.<br />
<br />
The following issues are addressed in the firmware update:<br />
<ul>
<li>Selecting Firmware version in the SETUP MENU would not display “C X.XX L X.XXX”.</li>
<li>About 4 seconds of static could be heard on audio recorded with external HDMI recorders during movie live view.</li>
<li>Exposure compensation would fail to produce the desired results if a negative value was selected when NEF (RAW) images were processed using the NEF (RAW) processing option in the RETOUCH MENU.</li>
<li>February 29th would sometimes not display correctly in leap years.</li>
</ul>
<b>Note</b><br />
Updating to firmware version 1.01 resets menu settings for cameras with firmware that displays as “A X.XX”, “B X.XX”, “L X.XXX”, “D X.XX”, “L X.XX”, or the like. We recommend that you save settings before performing the update.<br />
<br />
<u>Saving and Loading Settings</u><br />
Select Save/load settings > Save settings in the camera SETUP MENU to save settings to the memory card (note that the date and time, file number, folder name, and custom Picture Controls are not saved).<br />
After updating to firmware version 1.01, select Save/load settings > Load settings in the SETUP MENU to reload the saved settings.Hayo Baanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161772049736943025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545397042479306692.post-69037746415423148622016-03-17T08:55:00.001+01:002016-03-17T11:35:55.217+01:00Lightroom CC 2015.5 & Lightroom 6.5 now available<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6JgmLdYdbXQ/UMr0WumbTAI/AAAAAAAAAis/SWbMHiQOD-EhMjAHP_igLx3kMvOCisvNg/s1600/Lightroom%2B4.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6JgmLdYdbXQ/UMr0WumbTAI/AAAAAAAAAis/SWbMHiQOD-EhMjAHP_igLx3kMvOCisvNg/s200/Lightroom%2B4.png" width="200" /></a>Adobe has just released an update for Lightroom.

<a name='more'></a><br />
<ul>
<li>Bug fixes related to Panorama Merge <ul>

<li>Boundary Warp gets better as we fixed a bunch of bugs</li>
<li>Removed the ‘auto’ projection option. Turns out, it always picked the same projection mode.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Other Bug Fixes <ul>
<li>Rename failed if raw+jpeg pairs were copied to a second location</li>
<li>Shooting tethered, shutter button will not move to top of the screen</li>

Apart from a host of bug fixes and support for additional lenses and cameras (see below), the biggest change is the revamped GUI look. Which is now (finally) in line with the rest of Photoshop and Bridge. (image: Adobe)<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LRWhTrsbDBk/VupcyQJvjqI/AAAAAAAABhQ/SqaGMKHCxxcSRnucpHB3jpR0x2_5Ljrxw/s1600/ACR-screenshot.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LRWhTrsbDBk/VupcyQJvjqI/AAAAAAAABhQ/SqaGMKHCxxcSRnucpHB3jpR0x2_5Ljrxw/s320/ACR-screenshot.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div>Camera Raw 9.5 is only available for users of Adobe Photoshop CC or later, use the Creative Cloud update mechanism to gain access to the update. Users of older versions of Photoshop can make use of the Adobe DNG converter to add support for newer cameras to their version of Photoshop. The DNG converter can be downloaded from the Adobe website (<a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=6029" target="_blank">win</a> | <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=6028" target="_blank">mac</a>) for free.<br />
<h3>Bugs Fixed in Camera Raw 9.5</h3><a name='more'></a><br />
<ul><li>Fix crash/hang in Camera Raw and DNG Converter on some Mac systems when saving multiple images.</li>
<li>Fix corruption issue that would prevent DNG images originally created by Parrot Bebop Drone devices from being opened after metadata updates.</li>
<li>Pressing the Option/Alt key while click-dragging on a perimeter handle of a Radial Filter will adjust only that side of the filter. This change in behaviour was made to match Lightroom’s behaviour. Previously, Option/Alt-clicking on a Radial Filter in Camera Raw would delete that filter.</li>
<li>Camera Raw Filter now displays the histogram and RGB colour readouts using the assigned colour space of the corresponding Photoshop document. Previously, Camera Raw Filter always displayed its histogram and RGB colour readouts using the ProPhoto colour space.</li>
<li>Improve quality of Boundary Warp for some panoramas.</li>
<li>Fix bug where EXIF metadata for SIGMA 50mm f/1.4 ART lens on Canon was incorrectly identified as Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/1.4.</li>

Like Nikon's recently announced D5, this camera is full of exciting new and improved features.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the more pronounced specs (with some comment as to how they compare to Nikon's D5).<br />
<ul>
<li>20.2 megapixel Full Frame sensor (similar to the 20.9 of the D5).</li>
<li>Continuous shooting speeds of up-to-14 frames per second (fps) with Auto Exposure (AE) and predictive AF for viewfinder shooting and up to 16 fps in Live View mode (faster than the Nikon D5).</li>
<li>Continuous shooting of up-to 170 consecutive RAW images at 14 fps (slightly less than the D5, but still plenty for even the most demanding action shooter).</li>
<li>Improved 61-point viewfinder AF with expanded coverage and all AF-points selectable and supported to a maximum aperture of f/8 (sure, not the 153 – all cross sensor – AF points of the D5, but these are all f/8 and 61 is still more than enough, if they're good).</li>
<li>Improved AI Servo III+ predictive AF algorithm for better accuracy.</li>
<li>Continuous red illumination of all AF points within the viewfinder (Nikon has offered this for years, quite surprised this wasn't offered on the Canons before).</li>
<li>4K video at 60P (!) and Full HD at 120P (much better than the D5, but then Canon has usually been better at video anyway).</li>
<li>Enhanced wireless functionality with the optional Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E8 (probably similar to Nikon's).</li>
<li>Digital Lens Optimizer to help correct aberrations in-camera (you previously needed to do this in post processing, Nikon has offered this for quite some time on its cameras and works quite well).</li>
<li>Compatibility with both CF and CFast memory cards for optimal performance and versatility (so now we have two competing fast memory cards: XQD (Nikon, Sony) and CFast, not sure which which is better…).</li>
</ul>

<br />
<b>Update:</b> Nikon has released an update to NX-D that solves this issue. You can download it from the Nikon <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/162/Capture_NX-D.html" target="_blank">website</a>. <br />
<br />
This is Nikon's official warning:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>It has recently come to our attention that the following may occur with Nikon Capture NX-D RAW processing software for Macintosh.</i><br />
<i>When the user attempts to change name of a folder saved in root directory (the top-most directory in startup disk's hierarchy) on a Macintosh running a compatible version of OS X using the folder palette of Capture NX-D, all files (still images, movies, texts, etc.) saved in that folder will be deleted. Files deleted with the above operation will permanently be deleted and cannot be restored.</i><br />
<i>We are currently working to resolve this, and plan to release an updated version of Capture NX-D. Until that time, we ask that users do not use Capture NX-D's folder palette to modify name of a folder saved in root directory on a Macintosh computer.

Not the D400 everyone was hoping for, but something even better: a D500.<br />
<br />
The specifications for this camera are quite astonishing, and truly make it a professional grade camera: 20.9 MP sensor, ISO 100 – 51,200 (extendable to 50 – 1,638,400), 4K Video, 153 AF points (same as D5), 10fps, 200 image buffer etc.<br />
<br />
Suggested retail price: € 2369 (NL, inc. 21% VAT), $2000 (US, ex VAT)<br />
Availability: March 2016<br />
<br />
Here are some more specs:<br />

<br />
The new D5 boasts two things, previously unheard of: an all new 153 points AF system (their last top models had “only” 51 points) able to autofocus in almost absolute dark (-4 EV) and on top of that, the camera has a new record high ISO of 3,280,000. This latter is probably only usable for small prints, but at 102,400 the images are supposedly still quite clean and usable.<br />

<li>Fixed bug with panorama merge that could cause blend artifacts. This bug usually manifested as a highly darkened area and highly brightened area separated by a straight line (not necessarily associated with image content).</li>
<li>Fixed bug that caused variable-exposure panorama merges to appear over exposed.</li>
<li>Fixed bug that caused panorama and HDR merges shot with some Leica cameras to appear black.</li>
<li>Fixed a crash in the Merge preview dialog when switching from Perspective to another projection mode.</li>
<li>Fixed option/alt-key visualization for Basic panel sliders in GPU mode.</li>
<li>Fixed lens profile automatic matching logic for SIGMA 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC HSM (Pentax K mount).</li>
<li>Improved distortion and vignette corrections for Canon EF 16-35mm F4L IS USM.</li>
<li>Improved speed of Dehaze feature. Specifically, minimize the delay that occurs when turning on Dehaze for the first time on a given image.</li>
</ul>

With Lightroom 6.2, Adobe introduced an (in their words) simpler and improved import dialog. This “dumbed down” dialog was immensely disliked by the majority of users. That and the numerous critical bugs that plagued the release got Adobe to <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/10/lightroom-6-2-release-update-and-apology.html" target="_blank">apologize for it publicly</a>. With the new 6.3 update, Adobe fixed the bugs and restored the original import experience. Support for additional cameras and lenses has been added as well.<br />
<br />
The Lightroom 6.3 update is available for both the stand-alone users and Creative Cloud subscribers.<br />

<br />
You can download the new C1.10 firmware directly from the <a href="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/156.html" target="_blank">Nikon Download Centre</a>.<br />
<br />
Firmware C1.10 contains the following updates and fixes:<br />
<ul><li>An <b>External recording control</b> option has been added to the <b>HDMI</b> item in the <b>SETUP MENU</b>. If the camera is connected via HDMI to a third-party recorder that supports the Atomos Open Protocol (the Atomos SHOGUN, NINJA2, or NINJA BLADE), selecting <b>On</b> allows camera controls to be used to start and stop recording. More information is available in a supplementary manual.<br />
<b>Note:</b> Choose an option other than <b>576p (progressive)</b> or <b>480p (progressive)</b> for <b>HDMI</b> > <b>Output resolution</b> in the <b>SETUP MENU</b>.</li>
<li>Fixed the following issues: <ul><li>Incorrect distances were shown in the camera playback info display for photographs taken with an optional flash unit in distance-priority manual (GN) mode.</li>
<li>The brightness of the live view photography display would not change when a command dial was rotated to adjust exposure compensation with <b>On (Auto reset)</b> selected for <b>Metering/exposure</b> > <b>b4 Easy exposure compensation</b> > <b>Easy exposure compensation</b> in the <b>CUSTOM SETTING MENU</b>. </li>
<li>Although the preview button would stop the lens down to maximum aperture when assigned the <b>Preview</b> role, the maximum aperture indicator would not appear in the monitor.</li>
<li>In rare cases, the shutter would not be released when the user attempted to take photographs in movie live view.</li>
<li>About 4 seconds of static could be heard on audio recorded with external HDMI recorders during movie live view.</li>
<li>The shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity displayed in the monitor during movie live view would differ from values in the final movie file.</li>
<li>Volume could sometimes not be adjusted if movies were played with indicators hidden during full-frame playback (<b>None (image only)</b>).</li>
<li>Exposure compensation would fail to produce the desired results if a negative value was selected when NEF (RAW) images were processed using the <b>NEF (RAW) processing</b> option in the <b>RETOUCH MENU</b>.</li>
<li>Images would in rare cases fail to record correctly with <b>HDR (high dynamic range)</b> selected in the <b>SHOOTING MENU</b>.</li>
<li>If <b>On</b> was selected for <b>Exposure smoothing</b> during interval timer photography, every frame after the first would be overexposed.</li>
<li>File numbers were not assigned in the proper sequence.</li>
<li>In some languages, characters or parts of characters would be missing from the <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>Location data</b> > <b>Position</b> display.</li>
<li>In some languages, characters or parts of characters would be missing from the <b>SETUP MENU</b> > <b>AF fine-tune</b> > <b>List saved values</b> display.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Some help text has been changed.</li>

You can download the new firmware from the <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_cameras/eos_1d_x#DriversAndSoftware" target="_blank">Canon website</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Firmware version 2.0.8 incorporates the following fix:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixes a phenomenon which occurs when the “Shutter button half-press” menu item, configured in “C.Fn5: Operation” > “Custom Controls Menu”, is set to metering start only; depending on when the shutter button is half-pressed, it may initiate AutoFocus.</li>
</ul>
