Hi Melethia
You can make the joystick control the focus points (use custom functions). When activated it allows you to use the joystick to move the focus point to any of the nine points by moving the joystick in that direction. To get back to the center simply press the joystick.
Is this what you are after? |
Okay that is freakin cool. Is the new 5d gonna have that? |

| I still haven't looked up the setting to do that (will read my book and find it) but I did use the joystick today, though I had to press the little focus point button first to do so. Appreciate all the info - thanks, guys! |

Deb, try custom function 13. Set that to "1", and you can set the autofocus point with the joystick without pressing the other button first. I'm assuming it's the same for the 30D as for my 20D and 5D (both are custom function 13). |

| Will do - thanks very much! And look out - now I'll have tons of shots out of focus because I keep playing with the joystick thingie.... :-) (It'll all be on purpose, of course... so keep that in mind when voting.) |

| I just got my 50d today and I have a question about the continuos shooting modes. Does the high speed continuos mode capture lower quality images to capture them that quickly? |

It captures the images at whatever quality setting you have chosen. The number you can capture in one burst will depend on your settings. Increasing the ISO will decrease the total number captured in a burst.

| Why does the iso effect how many shots can be captured? |

Perhaps a high ISO setting equals more acquisition sensitivity and more processing time?

I would expect this to be true only when capturing JPEG. This is because images with more noise (higher ISO)can't be compressed as small or quickly. I would expect that for RAW, the number and/or speed would remain constant, limited by the buffer capacity. YMMV, as I haven't tried this in practice! |

I have the same problem. I see it I buy it. I have a problem on my last purchase. I just bought a used Canon G9 that I really like. The problem is that it did not have the software with it. Does anyone know where I can download it or buy the CD? I went on the Canon site and couldn't find it.
Thanks |

Found it! G9 This what you are looking for? Never mind. It's just the owners manual.

The number in a burst changes based on settings, RAW or jpeg.
High ISO images take up more space regardless of image type. Kirbic would probably have the technical details on how that happens.
The burst is only the number of shots to completely fill the buffer. However, you can keep shooting since as one image is cleared you can take another one, only the fps rate will be lower.

| someone should post some 100 pecent crop of the full range of ISO all of the same subject. I'm curious to see what this thing does. |

I've used continuous on the 40D in RAW and the ISO setting doesn't have any effect on the buffer, but having high ISO noise reduction switched on does reduce the burst from 17 RAW to 6. |
