    Urgent help[ needed Canon 550 menu has "protected images!

    Here's hoping someone can help my friend. She has a Canon 550D and somehow has set the menu to protect images, by mistake. However, she says she can't unprotect! I'm at the other end of the country, so am having to take her word for it. On my 6D, there is an option to un-protect, but she says...

    What is the BEST compact camera out there? Need one for Disneyworld

    I decided to go with the S120. I'd had the S90 ages ago so knew what it was likely to be like. I'm on holiday at the moment , so haven't seen images on a computer yet, but hoping for good things.

    What is the BEST compact camera out there? Need one for Disneyworld

    I'm looking for something similar to Simon too. I have a Canon GX1, but it's too big for a pocket or an evening-type handbag, has a lousy viewfinder and is hopeless at close focusing. On the plus side...the movable rear screen is very useful. I've spent ages looking at various review sites, to...

    Rolleiflex synchro-compur

    Yes it does. The plastic cover over the needle is broken and the nice folk who serviced it couldn't get a replacement, but the red dial moves ok.

    How would I disable it? Didn't realise this happened.

    Rolleiflex synchro-compur

    Thanks. The one I found was for a Rolleiflex automat. The knob on the left-hand side (as a user would find it) is slightly different. Does that mean it's a different model?

    Rolleiflex synchro-compur

    Rolleiflex-guide-web-sized[/URL] by photostar_1 on Talk Photography[/IMG] After Dad died, I got all his old cameras. I recently had this Rollei serviced so that I could start to try and use it. However........I have no idea how to do that! I've looked on line for a manual, but couldn't find one...

    New to 6D...images lack contrast

    Thanks everyone. I was worried it was something wrong with the camera! I always use LR for most things, using PS if and when more tweaks are needed. Exposure compensation it is then :) Incidentally, I didn't know that the histogram shows an 8bit Jpeg version, so thanks for that. I'm loving...

    New to 6D...images lack contrast

    Hi, I have just got a 6D and am finding that, straight out of camera, the images are lacking contrast and the histogram is way off the blacks point (highlights control ok). I shoot mostly aperture mode, RAW format. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong? Would dialing in negative exposure help?

    Seems as though I'm back!

    Not been on here for ages, so the welcome forum seems like a good place to start again. The changes are amazing; Looking forward to getting to grips with it all!

    Compact camera for low light situations.

    Thanks everyone. I think it will be the Canon S110.
