Fun with my KM 7D

I was unaware of your illness. Best wishes for strong recovery.
The KM5Ds and 7Ds are still around and work fine on animals. My 5D sits on a table with a long Sigma lens attached for just that reason.
But I don't know if it's the harsh sunlight down here, they've always given me problems with blown highlights in general picture taking on sunny days. I was reminded of this yesterday when I used the Dimage 7Hi I keep in my trunk. As I was modifying every single picture on the computer doing the same thing - darkening the highlights, then adjusting down brightness and raising contrast - it reminded me of having to frequently have done the exact same thing with the 5D. The DRO function in later cameras gave much better results in that respect.

Hi
Here in South Africa we also have very harsh sunlight and the same problem with blown highlights with my 7D. I have found that a polarizing filter helps control most of the reflections and so when the sun comes out so does my polarizing filter.
Hope that this will help you.
Blessings
Hugh
