No offence meant but I cant see why you think I don’t know what I’m doing.
is the bluetooth timing out on your phone?
As you can probably tell, I’m getting very frustrated with this situation :banghead:Just trying to help ... won't bother again
Nope. BT connection is fine. You can see it trying to start the WiFi connection and failing. BT shutter remote works fine. If i leave WiFi on (even if the camera is off) it works as expected.
It seems to be an issue on the camera or in the App. Ive re downloaded the app many times, and also on my iPads, all with the same result, so i can only assume its the camera software.
I see. Very strange indeed, I can't think of any other solutions, it appears to be the camera as you say. Hope you get it sorted.
I've just ordered a 22 f/2 from HDEW. Just wondering if its worth getting a hood for this?
Very impressive Mike! I'm amazed you are being successful with the AF of stuff in flight, I have almost no chance with my M6 yet it seems to use the same system.. I'm really confused!
Dave
As Phil noted the 22mm hood is tiny BUT I got the JJC one for £7.50 to just lift the front of the lens in case I managed to put the lens face down!
Good to see what you got with the 18-150. Seems sharper results than I got. I have decided to trade my EOS750D for an M50 - might be time to try an 18-150 again.
Not been on-line for a while as I was moving my motorhome over to Ireland. Disaster. On Day 3 I demounted my bike and started to get some practice in. Stopped for a drop of water when a car swung into the slip road I was on abs slammed intt the bike and threw me into a dwarf wall. Result - bike bent and, for me, a hairline fracture of my shin!
Been laid up till yesterday.
Driver of the car is a banned driver!
So motorhome locked in a warehouse and I am static back in England.

Wow, sorry to hear about the accident, sounds like a nightmare on all counts. Hope you are back up and running (or walking) soon.
Ive been using the 18-150 quite a lot, and although i wouldnt use it for anything too important (like today’s fly past and Naked bike ride), its a lens I’m happy to have on the camera during the week. The long end reminds me of my old 70-300 USM. usable, but best to to pixel peep it as the images are softer than would be expected. It’s still such a great focal length, all in one small lens though that its been my go to lens this week. Plus its been nice only taking a really small bag out.
Of course come winter time I’m probably going to be using one of my 24-70 lenses, as these are faster, but in good light i can cope with f/6.3 unless I’m bothered about DOF, and even at f/6.3@150mm gives a nice background blur.
I have got the hood for the 22mm, just no sign of the lens itself yet. Hopefully this coming week. I tend to store all my lenses without lens caps in my bag, and while i can see that the hood for the 22mm isnt going to do much, like you say, it’s a bit of protection which is better than nothing.
Good luck with everything.[/QUO

I may order the 18-150 and send it back if too soft. It will need to be an imrovement on my original three!
I am getting around as I have a lightweight cast. Can be itchy on hot days. My solicitor in Dublin is dealing with compensation issues etc.
I will pick up an M50 in a couple of weeks.
Totally annoyed as this trip was to ne the third and final stage of my Wild Atlantic Way project, closing off the bits I missed and shooting video. The damage to. My leg will stop/hinder some locations like the Cliffs at Slieve League in Donegal. The cliffs are amongst the highest in Europe at over 600m! Not a place to be on a dicky leg.
Another awesome view is from a boat trip from Donegal Harbour. At certain times you can track whales and dolphins.
Mr drunk tw@t’s Insurance company will be super loading his rates but many companies in Ireland will not accept drunks business.
Ha, no, that my trusty 70-300L. Today it felt quite natural on my M50. I can see me using it a lot more than i though.Nice.
I would bet £100 that wasn't taken with the 18-150mm
By the way, i heard back from Jesosps and they aren’t interested in exchanging my M50 for a new one, even though its only 6 weeks old. They just offered ot send it off to Canon for me. Canon dont have a clue if the person i spoke to yesterday is anything got go by, so I’m pretty much left to sort it out myself.
I’d love to say i wont buy any more Canon products but i know i will. I will certainly never shop at Jessops again though. If this were Amazon, even months down the line they wouldnt hesitate to send out a replacement. Lesson learned, stick with what i know.
Here's one ive taken with my M6, have you turned off Continuous AF

That's a pain in the rear isn't it! I know the feeling, my 7d2 has cost over £700 in in the last 12 months!
@Hugh Jarse hope you feel better and mend soon Steve,
Yes and just use Servo - but the review image in the viewfinder is pretty poor; it doesn’t keep a liver view there like the bridge camera I have does !
Looks good on the full size view on flickr Dave.
Yeah, a mild pain. To be honest I’m one of these people that want things to work if I’ve paid good money for it. I may not need the feature, but it should work. I can live with it if I have to though, but ill preserver with trying to get it replaced as its quite a handy feature to have when I’m out and about.
Here’s another 18-150 shot. Quite pleased with this one. Certainly seems sharp enough.

And one with the 11-22. I really should have matched the two shots in LR but too lazy.

Wow, talking about the Rose takes me back. My band played an outdoor gig on the site of the old Rose theatre. It was part of the demo/campaign to stop development of office blocks on that site after the remains of the theatre had been discovered. Looks like we were on opposing sides, although i must admit i was there more for a gig than as part of the protest. Ive got a photo somewhere taken at the time, and i took the same shot a few years ago from the same spot.
I was also in the first wave of skateboarders on the Southbank in the 70’s. I actually live just near the OXO tower, so ive always had a passion for this area.
Another 18-150 @150mm shot. I really cant find much to complain about with this lens, as long as I’m not pixel peeping.
My 22mm f/2 arrives tomorrow so expect some boring narrow DOF shots lol

How's the M50 battery life?
It’s better than I thought it might be. I have had almost 400 shots (a lot of short bursts though) from one charge. I have 3 batteries that I keep with me but I’m finding one full charge is good for a day out.
I still haven’t taken anything worth keeping with the 22mm f/2, but I can see why everyone raves about it. Very sharp. I don’t remember being this impressed with it when I had my M, but then the sensor wasn’t as good as in the M50.
I took my 24-70 f/4 out today. It works well on the M50 as its quite small and light. Got a few strange looks from other photographers for some reason.
