Hello everyone !

I am making a few tests using spacial scanner and a trial version of madmapper.
I'm having a problem with the settings on my Canon 5d mII. I set everything as indicated on the tutorials (1/15 , 2,8f , 100ISO) and when spacial scanner's window opens up, it automatically changes up the settings on my camera (1/30 , 4.0f). I can only set up the ISO.
Where do you think this problem comes from ?
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this ?

Thanks guys !

Hi Yannoch, never heard of this problem...
Please contact the support directly.
Meanwhile, if you are the Yannoch from the Parfumerie/Geneva, contact me directly or come to the workshop this week in Geneva, I'll sort it out directly with you.

Are you sure you are in Manual PHOTO Mode (and not video ... ?)
I also have a 5dMII and it runs smoothly, so it shouldn't be hard to fix.

Hi Franz,

I'm not the Yannoch you're talking about, even though i do smell good !
I'm gonna make a few more tests this afternoon, thanks for the tip !

To me it sounds like your on one of the Automatic Modes.
Why such a low f-stop? I'd want to close it down as much as possible with a slower shutter speed to remove any DOF from the lens. I think when I was doing my test I set it to an f/22 with great results.

low f-stop allows not to have too big ISO setting (== less noise)
f22 can work too depending on the lighting conditions.

Keep in mind that the settings we gave are standard settings, usefull for non-photographers who don't know how to setup their camera.
Other settings will work too, of course...
Please share your results in the forum.
