Canon 1DX MKll problem (1 Viewer)

[Ian Hardy]

I got my camera back from Canon UK Yesterday, took 4 photos of a duck yesterday using Shutter Priority, photo 1 and 2 used 1/1600 photo 3 1/640 and the last photo was at 1/500, the four photos were taken at the exact same time. Any idea why this happened?

Hello Ian,
So you had the camera set in TV mode to shoot at 1/1600? Was your iso set to Auto? Why had the 1Dxii been sent to Canon UK initially?

Surely in Shutter Priority, once you select a shutter speed it should keep to that setting regardless of changing light!
Comparing the four shots - what f stop value was recorded? Are you sure you didn't shoot in AV mode by mistake?

Hi Joe,
The f stop remained the same for all 4 shots was 5.6 the Camera was sent to Canon UK as it fell off the roof of the car, they found impact damage which cost me £730.00.

Cheers

Because your f stop remained at 5.6 - you have taken the four shots in AV mode - or your camera thinks it is in AV mode.

Have you tried shooting in Manual M mode. Depending on the light set a shutter speed of 1/1000 f 5.6 then adjust the ISO accordingly ( approx 800 ) then rattle a few shots off - it will do 14 I think in HS mode.

Other than that, send it back to Canon

Switch your camera on. Preview one of the photos on the rear screen then press the info button a few times to view all of the shot settings.
you should be able to see TV or AV, shutter speed, ISO value, f stop value, Histogram, White Balance, Picture Profile
