Furthermore, in extreme macro, one would likely use focus with a rail rather than focus by ring, and possibly use a microscope objective. If using flash, one would want to allow time for the flash to recharge. Shooting in live view would be an option, since the mirror would already be up. Depending on the camera, this could be difficult to accomplish in burst mode. Also, one might want to use electronic first shutter if available. In addition, one can view the images on the larger LCD of a cell phone or, even better, a tablet.įor more extreme macro, one would likely want to use mirror up and allow a settle time for vibrations to die down after raising the mirror and before taking the shot. The software determines the focus increment and stops when the far point has been reached. This is unlike Helicon Remote where one selects the near and far points in the image space. One could try to chimp with magnified views, but this could be difficult to determine on the small LCD of the camera. There does not be a clear method to determine when this distant point has been reached and the burst should be terminated. One would start shooting at the nearest object that should be in focus and one would continue shooting until the focus increment moves the point of focus to the most distal object that should be in focus. Once this is done, one shoots in burst mode on the camera. In looking at the Helicon web site, I can find no manual for the FB Tube, but I infer from the video that the photo-receptor on the tube is to upload configuration data from a cell phone or tablet. I would happy if Helios Remote will work.Mjkzz wrote:I do not have Helicon Tube, but looking at the picture on their site, it seems that there is a photo sensor that detects flashes going off, so this is one way to get that signal (camera has taken a picture) There are changes in the API and i assume that canon has revised or implemented some newer API's to do the job, that older cameras has done before and extended them to support the new capabilities. Well, all of the newer issues like the revised api to readout the shutter/mirrorcount and the newer RAW structure of the 5D-Mk4, are not further describted. Did you ever testet this with the newer Canon EOS models? I am unsure about your compatibility list of supported camera brands and types. The camera operates in "M" manual mode only.Ī friend had check this scene and Helios remote in combination with an EOS 77D and also no luck with the similar issue. The only option i have to select with the EOS 80D and EOS 5D Mark IV is the "One-Shot" AF. I don't use this mode for macro purposes. To clear the definition of "continous focus" in term of Canon:"continuous autofocus for moving subjects called AI Servo AF". I had checked the V3.5.6beta too - no luck. The configuration with the eos 600D works fine and as expected. This are Sigma 105mm DG Macro OS HSM and Sigma 70mm DG Macro. I had used an older EOS 600D to checkout if this is not a problem of the lenses i use. I had worte an error report to them to get more info about this issue. I guess canon has changed the internal behavior in the newer camera models. At capture start, it's the same situation. It moves the the fix-points after every moving forward. "Helicon Remote" does'nt works too, but it's able to move the focus manualy, one time. Well, this is not n exclusive problem of qDD. you can see and hear the moving of the lense focus motor - forward and backward. It looks strange if the stack is running. the delay and other justifications are not helps to solve the problem. I had switched the one-shot focus on and the camera is in manual mode. The auto focus seems to be active and move the lense back the the focus point where the auto focus in realview is positioned. It' starts moving to the next point, the lense turn to the new position and immediate moves back to the old position. The manual moving to a focus point is not able. The situation is similar and looks like an incompatibility of control the auto focus. I had checked several programms for focus stacking purpose and all of the lacks with the 80d and 5D mark IV.
