TECH SUPPORT Speeding Cards Q. Since the price of memory cards can go up dramatically with speed ratings—e.g., 16X, 32X, 64X—it seems you should buy only the fastest that your camera can use. How do you determine this, for, say, my Canon EOS 40D? A. Your 40D will be able to use any CF card you buy, but you won’t get any performance benefit from a faster card when you’re shooting. Top memory card speeds are always faster than most camera bodies can write. Instead, you get the benefit of that card’s speed when downloading your images to your computer when you use a separate card reader. Keep in mind, though, that faster cards are also often better made, use better grades of memory in them, and come with codes to download recovery software in case you encounter any problems. We suggest that you try something equivalent to SanDisk’s Ultra or Extreme cards or Lexar’s Platinum or Professional cards. Do you have Tech Support Question? Post it on our Facebook Page.

TECH SUPPORT Blur Buster Q. To avoid blur when shooting handheld, a rule states that the shutter speed should match the reciprocal of the lens’s focal length (e.g., 1/200 sec with a 200mm lens). When using this lens with an APS-C sensor with a 1.5X lens factor, would the correct shutter speed be 1/300 sec? A. Yes. The reciprocal rule—we’ll call it a guideline—is valid only for the full-frame format, or equivalents. To use an extreme example, a normal focal length on a small digital compact is typically around 9mm. Your safe speed at that setting wouldn’t be 1/9 sec, but its full-frame equivalent, 1/50 sec. We demote this to a guideline because there are many other factors in getting unblurred shots: Your own hand steadiness, ergonomics of the camera, effectiveness of image stabilization (if present), movement of the subject, and so on.
