Canon just released a firmware update for the 1d x mark 3 providing
enhancements and bug fixes one of the enhancements is 24 frames per second in
Full HD and UHD 4k and that nasty issue where we get freezing when the
electronic shutter is set to show is now fixed delivering informative

today Canon released firmware update 1.1 for the 1dx march 3 to apply fixes and
enhancements simply go to canons website to download the firmware and I have that
link in the description down below but let's take a quick look and review what
has changed so as I mentioned in the prologue we get 23 point 9 8 or 24
frames per second back in full HD yeah I say that right full HD and UHD 4k
communication speed has also been improved when you're connecting to the
left when you're connecting to the land wired and the Browse function the Browse
remote function has also been added but that annoying feature where the Canon
the camera would just freeze when the electronic level is set to show in the
viewfinder display has been resolved nowhere in the notes to this firmer is
there any mention of an issue of oil spots showing up in the sensor that
hasn't been changed azimuth fixed and nor do I believe it was going to be this
issues been there since the 1 DX was in there with the 1 DX mark - and the
problem occurs when the cameras new when you're when you're shooting at a high
frame rate the lube oil from the shutter ends up on the sensor many of you have
pointed out and correctly so that after about 2000 shots this issue is much
improved however this is a high performance
camera and like anything that's high performance maintenance is a little bit
higher it's the same with race cars look at a race car for formula 1 these guys
replace engines and transmissions for each race now we're not gonna have to
replace sensors or anything on this camera but if you're gonna get the 1d
mark 3 which does a terrific job at high speeds fast action sports photography
you need to be aware that when you first get this camera oil spots are gonna show
up on the sensor and for the first two thousand shots it's gonna be pretty bad
take your camera out blow through about two thousand shots clean the sensor do
another shoot check the sensor see how it goes but generally if you're gonna be
shooting with this camera you know that you're gonna have to do a sensor
cleaning before the shoot and check it after the shoot as well but that's not
it for news Canon News has uncovered a patent filing for three RF lenses
actually two RF lenses I'll get to that in a second the RF 85 millimeter 1.8
that I mentioned yesterday the RF 100f 2.8 III I know I'm gonna love this lens
and I'm probably gonna want to buy it I had the EF 102.9 lis sold that when I
bought it I thought it was gonna be a great portrait lens and it wasn't now
hold off on your comments I bought the the 100 millimeter F 2.8 for my Canon
70d with tenza 1.6 crop try taking a portrait with a 160 millimeter lens back
then I didn't understand what the crop sensor meant I looked at the lens I
reviewed it and it made a lot of sense for a full-frame camera but that was a
terrific lens for macro photography I took some great shots of a mosquito I
took an incredible shot I took some great shots of water droplets on a leaf
I took a great shot of a bee I really had fun with it once I got past the
limitations that I thought it had but I'm really curious to see what this lens
is gonna be like on the r6 of the r5 so I'm really looking forward to that and
the third lens is the EF m 100 F to see I thought we were getting three RF
lenses and when I first I thought what EF I thought canon has stopped
developing for the EF system well Kenan has stopped developing for
the EF in the EF s but they haven't stopped their commitment to the EF m or
the M system the 100 millimeter f2 which is going to be an incredible macro let
this is gonna function more like a hundred and six
see millimeters so if you're looking at doing great macro shots this is gonna be
an amazing lens for your m6 or your m5 camera so really consider this one if
you're into that macro photography this time of year with spring here today at
sunny it's warm it's beautiful outside well I think it's beautiful it's 11
degrees Celsius which I think puts in at about 52 degrees Fahrenheit and that
reminds me to remind you don't forget about the spring challenge it isn't over
as you guys send me in your links your YouTube links to the videos that you
create I will showcase them in my video so
please get out there take videos of spring happening capture flowers coming
out capture the animals in the backyard string together I don't care if it's a
couple of seconds couple of minutes I will showcase these in other videos so
this video here today the news portion the news and rumor portion is only going
to make up maybe probably about three or four minutes then the behind the scenes
will fit in after that so for these shorter videos that's where I will
expose these behind the scenes as well as the spring challenge so please I
challenge you to get their capture spring I know that many of you are in
cities where you can't get out of your building you're staying inside for you
maybe capture the sunset capture the Sun
rising do you have plants on your balcony that you can capture be creative
in this segment of behind the scenes I want to take a closer look at the video
interview that I did on the weekend with Peter Gregg it was for the ATM Indian
for some reason in yesterday's video I couldn't remember the name of the
product we'll chalk this one up to being old age and just not having the words on
the tip of my tongue and proof that I'm not using a teleprompter all the time in
this video I did a video interview with Peter Gregg that lasted for about I
think it was about five minutes long and this was the first one I'd ever done I
wasn't sure about how about how to go about doing it and Peter said well which
way do you want to do it so I wanted to take charge this is my first time I
wanted to use my own skills I wanted to try and solve this problem myself and I
thought I had a few ideas in my mind and the one I went with I thought well Peter
I'll go ahead and interview you I'll record me I'll record my audio you go
ahead record yourself the way you would normally do and then just put it YouTube
I'll download it and I'll bring them together later I could do side by side I
could switch back and forth you know that 60 minutes type of interview where
you focus on the person you're interviewing the person who's asking the
question cuts to them then it cuts back to the person being interviewed again so
I thought of doing it that way I've also thought of doing a side by side which is
something you'd see very common with the Late Show with Stephen Colbert you'll
see him quite often doing a side by side well that was the plan as you can see
from the video you just hear me talking through the telephone you'll hear me
asking a question through the telephone and then Peter responding you see I'd
forgotten to press record on the video camera and I know what happened
sometimes because I generally will leave the camera on then I'll go over and I'll
press the record button now if it's gone to sleep the record button just wakes it
up and I probably just woke it up and thought I'd press the record button and
that was a big mistake now thankfully I was able to recover the the audio of me
on Peters video was good enough that all I had to do is I erased it up I think
about 6 to 8 DB and it sounds decent it sounds like one of those radio
call-in interviews the only problem is this right at the end of the video when
I was thinking Peter for helping me out it cut out for 10 seconds so lesson
learned there for me is have backups check it before you end the interview
make sure you things are good make sure you got the recording I think the
interview went very well with Peter I I could work on the pauses a little bit
more but I plan on doing more of these I've reached out to Peters see what he
might be interested in doing in terms of other interviews I've reached out some
other websites some other personalities and I plan on doing more of these
interviews in the future but the tough thing is is the first time you do this
you you have a list of things you need to do but if you don't write them down
to the checklist you can forget simple things like also in yesterday's video
another thing I forgot to do I forgot to apply the filter so what I normally do
is I set the color balance and then I do some color grading but I color grade my
face differently than the rest of my body so I apply a shape mask to my face
and yesterday I completely forgot to do that now thankfully my lighting was
pretty good and I guess that's why I didn't notice everything looked pretty
good and I completely forgot so there's a lot going on behind the scenes as and
when I do best is when I have a checklist I look over it so did I do my
white balance so I've got my white balance thing here I always make sure I
do that I clap a couple of times so I can sync the audio between the camera
and my lapel mic but interviews was my first time and thankfully it came out
well enough but from behind the scenes I wasn't too happy I'd screwed up and I I
could have made it a much better video if I hadn't have done that so that's my
lesson learned that's a little bit behind the scenes thank you so much for
watching guys we'll see you again soon thank you for watching the ordinary
