Importing Images from a6000 to PC
I am a long time Canon user with significant money invested in Canon equipment. However, I'm not a fan of lugging almost 8 lbs of camera and long lense down the trail. So I got the little Sony a6000 and the 55-210mm lens combo. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret buying the Canon equipment. I...- wxgeek

A Barred Owl Question
Took the first image at Radnor Lake in Nashville on 5/2/2017 and it shows a young owl still in the nest, a few days from fledging. The 2nd image was taken on 5/31/2017 near the same location. If there are any owl experts out there, is it possible that this is the same bird, just a few weeks...- wxgeek

Wildlife and Lens Issues
Thanks for the responses! Two really good suggestions have emerged. First, change the lighting situation by changing your position vis-a-vis the subject. Second, shutter speed is way too high for a stationary subject. On the first suggestion...maneuvering around to get better lighting was really...- wxgeek

Wildlife and Lens Issues
MY current rig is a Canon 7D Mk II with the Sigma 150-600mm F/5-6.3 OS contemporary lens and I also have a Canon 400mm Prime f/5.6 lens. Most of the hikes I go on are in areas where there is a tree canopy 75-85% of the time. I'm shooting in Tv mode at around 1/1000 in order to freeze motion but...- wxgeek

W-E1 Connect to Dell PC
I have a 7D Mark II with the latest software update and I'm trying to connect to my Dell PC with Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB of memory. I'm using the W-E1 instructions. I can connect the WiFi from the camera using the password that the camera provides. But, when I start the EOS Utility and...- wxgeek

Exposure Problems in Bird Photos
When I go hiking I often try and shoot the wildlife that I come across.(deer, squirrels, wild turkeys, birds, etc. Birds present a difficult exposure problem. Many time I'm shooting at a high angle with a dark subject(bird) against a bright background(sky+sun). I heard suggestions ranging from...- wxgeek

WIFI SD cards
I have tried the Toshiba again. It is the W-03 version and the camera has the latest firmware(ver 1.1.0). I was able to get the card to work, but the Eyefi card seems to integrate with the EOS software better. I can go into the Canon menu and disable the connection to the Eyefi card in order to...- wxgeek

WIFI SD cards
Got tired of waiting for the Canon to get its WIFI card on the shelves so I bought an Eyefi Mobi card and a Toshiba FlashAir card. The Eyefi card works really well through its app called Keenai. The Toshiba FlashAir card will not work with my camera, the 7D Mark II. Just in case anybody else...- wxgeek

New 7D Mk2 User Wondering About Focusing
Sorry...fat fingered the subject left off the word "Issue". Anyway...I am a new 7D Mk2 owner and was attempting to determine if any of the lenses I am using are front/back focusing. I have tried using various charts with a numbered scale and determining which numbers are "in focus" and which are...- wxgeek

HDR Backlight
I am currently using a Canon T4i/650D camera. This is my third Rebel(started with the300D). Early on, I changed the AF function to use only the center focus point. That has worked well for me so far. Lately, I have started to use the HDR function. The manual is a bit sparse on the specifics of...- wxgeek

Stabilization??
Over the years I have collected 3 different Canon Rebels...300D...400D and the 650D. Some of my lenses have the image stabilization feature. I've read several articles that describe how Canon achieves the stabilization in the lens...but very few ever talk about what "kind" of shake the feature...- wxgeek

D650 .cr2 files
Using Photoshop from the CS5 suite. Tried to ingest a .cr2 file from my D650 Canon. No dice...says that .cr2 files from this camera are not supported. I finally found something called a DNG converter...changes .cr2 files to .dng file. Photoshop apparently knows what to do with that file. So...
