I'm sure you'll find something beautiful to photograph in Rome. :-)Be mindful of wallet- and camera-grabbers. If a woman with a bunch of kids approaches you, especially holding an open newspaper,...

Hi Elise,Try this: Press the Q button, navigate to the focus selection icon (left bottom-ish) and press Set. See is M-Fn will let you choose a focus mode this way. Another thing to try is: Press Q,...

I doubt very much that it is one card with two partitions. That would not provide RAID. It is one card with two or more flash memory chips. If one chip fails, your data is still intact. If the...

No, flash can withstand millions of read/writes, and it's very improbable that two parts would fail at exactly the same time, after n million read/writes.

Considering that flash memory is now...

I went with your plan. I bought a new hard disk for photo backup.

Exactly. Different bites for different likes. If there was only one right way to do it, the camera makers wouldn't give us the choice. Am I right?

I suppose so. I don't necessarily need online photo viewing.

Yes, I really just want secure, convenient online backup for my photos

According to our friend Wei, in the photo above, the runner's hand will be in focus, not his chin. Because the hand is closer, even though the red is on the chin. THAT'S the problem which Wei...

I'd like an online backup of all of my photos. Gigabytes and gigabytes of them, in JPEG and RAW. I don't care about image editing, frames, sharing or any of that stuff. I just want something there...

No, solid state hard drives WILL fail. There is a definitely finite number of read/writes that any type of flash (SSD) memory can support. It is a certainty that a solid state drive will fail. You...

It depends on the mail service that you use.  For example, if your email comes from Gmail, or basically any service that stores all of the email messages on the email server, it's super easy to...

I imagine that most 7D owners will report that MFA is utterly unnecessary, and a few will say that it makes a tremendous difference. After all, the cameras and lenses are designed to work properly....

Here's how the conversation would go if I were the guy in Canon Tech Support: Me: Canon tech support. How may I help you? You: My Canon 7D doesn't work well in Green mode. Me: Green mode? On a 7D?...

It's simple enough: Use One Point AF, and with the lens wide open, focus on an area of high detail. Take the shot and check focus. You should check out the YouTube video I linked; it's really good.

Well done!  Very excellent work. Looks as professional as anything I've ever seen.

I agree that your expectation is correct. However, the camera is behaving the way other 7D's do, so what you're experiencing cannot be repaired. If I understand you properly, you're concerned that...

Makes perfect sense to me.

Great stuff!  Did you shoot all of those from the ground?

>> So if I use the green button to capture kids running around and they happen to stay stationary, the camera is going to give me OOF pictures? <
