Abberant image exposures.

KevinCarter · #1 11-26-2007, 07:46 PM

Something happened with 5D that I've never see before.

In controlled environment on manual, three photos came out very overexposed and hazy.

Images before and after these theree are exposed properly.

No meter change or anything. Is this a one off, or could it have an explanation. (the metadata says all key things are same, ie shutter, f/stop, iso etc)

Kevin,

A similiar situation happened with me about six months ago only with my 30D. It turned out to be my lens. It was the Canon 28-135 that was malfunctioning. I have since gotten rid of that lens and use only "L" lenses and have not had a problem. Now, that was my experience. Yours may be different.

Funny, I had the identical thing happen with my new 40D when shooting hockey teams. Turned out my heavy breathing was to blame. Gotta love girls hockey teams. I'm sure that won't help you but it was fun.

How could lens or breathing do that?

I can address the lens part but not the breathing. I was periodically getting out of focus images of the same shot and it turned out that the image stabilizer on the lens was at fault. Again, your situation may be totally different.
