    Canon SX50 Specs

    Just returned from Southern Africa and the SX50 was outstanding. Unfortunately I wish I could start over with what I learned about the camera during the trip.

    Got it! (Now that I have juice again) 1. To set Teleconverter on C1, etc. RAW can not be selected. 2. S key is specific to each program wheel selection C1, C2, Av, etc. and must be set up for each one separately. Simple? Yes, but I have zero experience with these settings (being a point and...

    Yes but it can already save a RAW and a jpg so why not save the RAW and the Teleconverter jpg? I don't see the reason for the necessity of disabling the DT when RAW is set. I don't think there is a RAW only setting. Maybe I'm wrong. I can't test anything because my battery is dead at the moment...

    RAW, I had read that restriction somewhere but forgot. Thank you. There was no mention of RAW in the Teleconverter section. Is there something inherent to RAW that would make it so "obvious"? Maybe because RAW is unprocessed and DT is processed? A few lines of code saying "if DT then no RAW...

    This Digital Teleconverter setting is still mysterious to me. Crazyfingers seemed to indicate that programing the Shortcut to Teleconverter would work on C1 and C2. I can't get that to work. When in C1 or C2 the programmed shortcut does nothing. Any hints would be appreciated.

    Thanks John, but that is the part of the manual that does me no good;) On Auto my alternatives are "standard" or "off" On any other mode selection the options are grey and unavailable. Edit: OK, I reset the options to default and now the digital zoom 1.2/2.0 are available. Not sure what...

    Here is a statement for the basis of my question. "All taken at max zoom with the 1.5x digital converter" My problem is the many mentions of 1.5x vs 2.0x digital converter. Is this simply pushing the zoom on Auto past 50x? I think not. The manual is not helping me much. The only setting I find...

    I know nothing about the Kodak and it will probably be great. Can you return it?8-P Just kidding ... sort of. Here's my first gallery pic. Resorted to the city park and totally cheated. Focal length 215mm. Nothing to brag about but had to start somewhere. The goose came out better with not...

    Canon SX50 Specs

    I can't believe the amount of time I spent reading reviews and looking at examples before buying the SX50. I don't know why, it is not that expensive but I did not want another paper weight at any price. If I had seen this site/thread first, my research would have been over. The results posted...
