Checking the EXIF on images from my Canon R5 there doesn't seem to be a value for 'LightSource'. Just wanted to check this is correct, and if there is an alternative, e.g. if the same value is now stored somewhere in the makernotes instead?
This issue is probably not specific to the R5. I have several different images on my memory card I can use for setting a custom white balance. The issue is that it's not always obvious which image is for a particular white balance. If I rename an ima...
In the Canon Cinema RAW Development software if I select a clip and click the 'Add to Export Queue' button or right-click on a clip and click 'Add to Export Queue' from the context menu, I get the error 'These clips cannot be copied' The Cinem...
Thanks for that. So a direct answer would be that yes, there is no value for LightSource. But this is not a recent change, probably it has never been supported in Canon cameras. The nearest alternative is the WhiteBalance value.
Thanks, so is LightSource used for flash only? I presume it is only certain flash models that cause it to be added then? I just took a couple of test shots with my Canon MT-24EX in manual and ETTL and the LightSource was not present in the EXIF on ei...
After doing some experimenting with this, I am now really confused as to how the camera sets WB based on a custom image. It does not appear to be based on the image content. And neither does it appear to be based on the thumbnail content. (Determined...
For stills, yes. For video I have found it is much better to get the WB correct (or at least near correct) in-camera than adjusting later, even when shooting RAW. And depending on what video settings you use, RAW may not be available.
Thanks for the suggestion, I don't think that would work for me though for a couple of reasons:1) I am often working with filters and non-visible light. I would imagine a light meter is not calibrated for light outside the visible spectrum, if it can...
