Upgrade 350D to 7D
Discussion
Apologies, yes, 4, as is the latest release from the site will not touch the earlier 350 CR2. Not clear there. I have used DPP in the past with the 350 but an earlier version and one that shipped with the DVD I think. It was just the wrong side of a home made feel on the earlier version but I think I should have persevered. I like this version and as I am only using PSE, I find DPP 4 excellent for dealing with RAW and checking focus and weeding out the dross. I like the Canon Picture Style editor as well.
Wow, what a difference that is! Unfortunatley I f**ked up and didn't check all the settings the previous owner had put on the camera. I couldn't work out why the pictures looked dull and under exposed on the LCD, on getting home and reading the instructions ( Doh! ) I found that the picture style had been left on 'faithful' which means the pictures will be "dull and subdued". I've run a few through Lightroom and sure enough they can be saved, he's a few from todays action at the Oulton Park Gold Cup

Setting the style to a flat/dull set means you get a more accurate histogram so you know how exposed your raw files are, rather than what the camera has processed them to (its all based on the jpg, even in raw only). Its the better way of shooting in a lot of situations , just means you have to process the rawI thought the Style did not do anything on RAW other than flag it up on the data so software can read it, DPP (Canon software) will see that and apply it. But, you can also apply the other Style settings in the software, so changing what the camera was. Only thing is it needs to be the Canon editing software?
Mine came with a factory reset so all settings any owner had set, were wiped. Still learning them now.

Whilst thats true it does affect the jpg that is created and embedded into the raw. Its this jpg that is used to calculate the histogram and the blown hilites etc. So it can affect how you treat exposure , easily half a stop or moreI've had a 7d since they came out,
got it as a rushed purchase due to my 30D giving up the ghost half way through an american football match. Lovely error 99
7D has been great and its about to clock round the image number for 3rd time
so must be about 30k and still feels brand new.
that being said, I used it last weekend and when uploading images to the computer i noticed i didn't have a 2015 folder and then it clicked that i hadn't used my 7d Since last year.
After reading above, will check and see if firmware is up to date.

For 7d owners make sure you update the firmware. It offers some real improvements to the camera.
I see that Firmware Version 2.0.5 is available for the 7D, but mine already has version 2.0.3, is it worth upgrading to 0.5 just for wifi, which I wouldn't use, or does it offer much more? Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
