Today I gave a lesson at the IED Institute in Rome
Today I gave a lesson at the European Institute of Design in Rome. The lesson topic was my series Clownville. I helped the students to develop an image with the same look and field. They did a great job
The makeup was always by Valeria Orlando. The astonishing model was my friend and techGuru Massimo Curatella. The images are a collection of Instagram I took during the lesson.
On the top right Valeria Orlando with Massimo and on the center left here I’m with my guest.
Canon 5D MKIII: light leak issue “officially” over
Canon has published a new product advisory notice about the light leak phenomenon on the Canon 5D MKIII. Looks like there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Phenomenon
In extremely dark environments, if the LCD panel illuminates, the displayed exposure value may change. However, based on the results of extensive testing this change in exposure value will not noticeably affect the captured image.
Affected Product
Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera
*Products whose sixth digit in the serial number is 1 or 2 are affected.
For example, “xxxxx1xxxxxx” or “xxxxx2xxxxxx” ([x] represents any optional number.)
Support
Under almost all shooting conditions (including dark environments) this phenomenon will not affect your captured images. However, if you would like Canon to inspect your camera, we will provide this service free of charge upon request beginning in mid-May. Please contact Canon using the information below to request service.
This information is for residents of the United States and Puerto Rico only. If you do not reside in the USA or Puerto Rico, please contact the Canon Customer Support Center in your region.
Please register the EOS 5D Mark III. By registering, we will be able to notify you via email when service updates are available. If you already registered, please ensure you are opted-in to receive the notification.
