Hi, when switching on/making SL3-S awake, I get a warning that Content Credentials doesn't support the drive mode I shoot in (like high burst rate). It's irritating - and it takes time - to click 'OK' to remove the warning. Any possibility to simply deactivste the Content Credentials (at least for those user profiles where the Content Credentials isn't supported?

Same question here, have no answer...

Anyone?

When making it awake from Stand-By it seems, I do not get the message. Only when switching on from off. Still testing. You get it, if SL3-S enters automatic switch off when you turn on. But as long power button is up (display off), I do not get it.  ++ Update: seems to avoid message when "awakening" you need to go to energy saving options: disable automatic turn off, disable Power Button LED, Enable only display&AF for savings. Did try for some minutes, works fine. No message when activating display.

Content credential works only in single shot mode, any other faster, shooting modes it's not supporting Contin credential.

You can go through the settings and turn off content credential on your camera altogether

Slightly off topic but relevant to the SL3-S. Out of curiosity I just spent some time looking through the forum section regarding postings of film M pictures. Of course they are beautiful, rich, deep, taken by some amazing photographers. It reminded me again that the essence of great pictures is not the number of megapixels in a digital sensor. Indeed, I seem to remember that good film resolves to the digital equivalent of around 12-16MP or so (correct?). So it’s no surprise that the newly posted SL-3S shots look so good. Yes, if one zooms out a posted image of a film shot it will start to grain up. But unless it’s the basis for decisions on microsurgery, the resolution of film or a 24MP sensor seem detailed enough! It just reminds me that my interest is making good pictures, not the latest specs. Thanks.

(( This is still in discussion. Depends on progress on scanners. Velvia 50 with a Hasselblad scanner can provide 25 MP. But there is even more possible according to some sources. Some special films (military use) can do up to 80 MP! Film is not dead :) Limit is prob more the resolution of lens than of the film :)))

Really there are two questions: how many megapixels does it take to properly scan a piece of film, and how many megapixels does it take to provide the same subjective impression as a particular type of film.

The second question is irrelevant these days. People mainly shoot film for aesthetic reasons, not for resolution. You can do a back-of-the-envelope calculation by estimating how big a print you can make that you consider "sharp," and translating that to a digital file at roughly 300dpi. So if you can print a 16x20" from 35mm that you consider to be "sharp", that's roughly the equivalent of 24MP.

The answer to the first question is a much higher number than what current technology allows. You would need hundreds of megapixels to fully resolve the grain structure of 35mm film. That's not to say that you can't produce satisfying scans at lower resolutions, but those don't look like film. They look like a hybrid workflow, which is its own thing.

Another thing,

in Multishotmode the camera modify the aperture from 22 to 16. that means with the SL 16-35 in Multishotmode you can not use aperture 22, only 16.

 

Can everybody confirm this ?

 

Best regards

Christian

Not really. Using Sigma SL Macro f/2.8 which has a manual aperture ring. Try to use A maybe?

Thanks for reply.

I have testet it just now with the Sigma 70-200 with manually aperture 22, the camera turn it to 16.

I appologize! You are correct! Also with Sigma 105, I cannot select 22. At 16 is stop! When selecting 22 at lens it still goes to 16! Regardless of M or A mode. Thank you for pointing. Will write to Wetzlar. ++ Update: Mail to Wetzlar done about it. ++ Update: Tested now with a fully mechanical lens w/o any electronics ( Zeiss ZM 28 ). Did put lens to F22 and adapted it via Novoflex M-L Adapter (no electronics as well). Multishot does correct exposure. So, I would guess you found a Firmware Bug :)

Which begs the question: who would use f22 with its diffraction deterioration? 

No, it does not bring up that question IMO. Firmware has to get fixed IMO. Looks strongly like a bug. Sorry please. When shooting Macros DoF it is some time more important than sharpness e.g.

Nobody denies it might be a bug and due for a bug fix, but a fairly irrelevant one IMO. Macro is better served by focus stacking and the difference between f 16 and f 22 is measured in mm at macro distance should you have a moving subject. 

Did you check whether the aperture actually closes down to f 16 only or that f22 is only reported as f 16 in EXIF? The fact that it also happens when using the aperture ring suggests the latter. A lens without electronics would not show the bug in that case.

Super hard to check, what it actually does Jaap. Would need to take two shots and compare DoF. But with the full mechanical lens we know at least, that SL3-S can handle F22 in Multishot fine. Should be a minor thing for them to fix hopefully :) SL3-S shows 16 on LCD display too though on 22 when using electronic. We still cannot do focus stacking with SL3-S to my knowledge or I did not find out how so far. Would really appreciate stacking a lot for my macros!!

Use manual shutter speed and compare the histograms. 
I did manual focus stacking long before it became a camera feature. Just take a number of differently focused shots and use Photomerge.
