Chuck Westfall Chuck Westfall’s tech tips are available at the Digital Photo Journalist    In this edition Chuck covers:   

  • Since Movie mode does not use the shutter, is a virtual shutter a possibility for a future camera?
  • Has the new screen/finder system in the EOS 7D improved the compensation issue when using stopped-down metering below f/5.6 with manual diaphragm lenses?
  • Auto-focus settings on far objects at 24mm (EF 24mm-105mm L IS)
  • Zooming to 105mm without re-focusing, the image in the viewfinder and the picture taken turn out clearly unsharp.
    • Reverse of the above
  • Does the AF algorithm take the hyperfocal distance into account and does it set the focusing ring to the hyperfocal distance in order to achieve maximum DOF?
    • Is this common with all Canon lenses?
  • Is it better to get a 70-200 lens with or without IS?
  • MODE two IS for shooting birds
  • AI Focus AF
  • Kelvin settings for the EX550 & EX580
  • Sensor cleaning on the 5D Mark II
