My camere wants to let too much light in on horizon photos. It washes everything out.
I recommend choosing HDR and focus on a place that is bright.
camera err 60 lens error need to reset camera cannon sx 740 hs 40x optical zoom
Hi Team,
I wish to buy Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and I need to understand the size occupied by a video of 1 minute each if I am planning to shoot the video in different resolutions available in the camera. I am trying to get an estimate of the size that the videos would occupy so to calculate my storage requirements
Resolutions available for video FPS
4K (Ultra HD)- 3840x2160 30
4K (Ultra HD)- 3840x2160 25
Full HD - (1920x1080) 60
Full HD - (1920x1080) 50
Full HD - (1920x1080) 30
Full HD - (1920x1080) 25
Standard HD - (1280x720) 60
Standard HD - (1280x720) 50
Hi Uvashi, here are sizes of optimized video:
4K (Ultra HD)- 3840×2160 30 = 135MB
4K (Ultra HD)- 3840×2160 25 = 126,25MB
Full HD – (1920×1080) 60 = 210MB
Full HD – (1920×1080) 50 = 175MB
Full HD – (1920×1080) 30 = 105MB
Full HD – (1920×1080) 25 = 87,5MB
Standard HD – (1280×720) 60 = 30,94MB
Standard HD – (1280×720) 50 = 27,5MB
how do I keep the camera on as long as I want? My camera keeps shutting off...I set it to 3 minutes but that is not what I want. I want it to remain on because I am shooting video in a photography studio.
File creation - My past canon cameras created a new file for each month, made it easy to organize. My SX740HS puts all the pictures in one file location unless manually create a new file. I take 15,000 pictures a year, I don't want them all in one file location. Why did this change? Another item they changed on the SX740HS is exposure lock, not sure the technical term but with all the other canon cameras I have owned such as the SX700HS one could aim it at the clouds/sunset, push the button halfway down lock in exposure and focus then move it to center the picture and the sky has the correct exposure but not with the new SX740HS it continually sets the exposure.
How can you tell how many pictures are available on a partially used SD card. 32g card
Your SD card can hold approximately 2000 photos in the highest quality JPG
how do i set it back to factory settings.
