Canon 90D Advanced Crash Course. Available Now!:

The first 4 issues I am noticing in regards to the 90D are:

1. Optical Focusing Problems Under Certain Conditions (FIXED!)
2. Soft Video When Shooting with all of the Sensor (Improved!)
3. Disappearing Menu Items (How to Solve)
4. Undersaturated RAW Files + Weird Color Issues (I guess we can just complain a lot! :P )

The optical focusing problem is something that others have mentioned, and what I found has resolved it for me.

Let me know what other issues you are seeing and we will try to see if we can document it for Canon!

Thank you For your Support!

Michael, thank you for your deep review. As an Electrical Engineer of 40 years it's clear to me that consumers of Canon are now the QC department. These issues should have all been caught in pre-release so I can only conclude a lot of older (knowledgeable) Canon employees have been let go with recent sales downturns. Also, with this many issues, there are likely others you have NOT caught yet.

You have enabled me to solve an autofocusing problem that I've been struggling with for a long time. Thanks!

Thanks a lot. Changing recently from 70D to 90D I was asking myself why I was always focusing the false place ... Deactivating iTR was giving me sharp action Photos of my dogs again.

Thanks for taking the time to test. Eye AF is probably one of the most compelling features of newer mirrorless cameras. Turning it off to resolve this issue means you have to cripple the camera. I hope there's a firmware fix coming.

Thanks re the autofocusing recommendation. In respect of the raw files, they are meant to look flat. So no problem there in my opinion

ORDERED MY 90D YESTERDAY SO CANT WAIT UNTIL IT ARRIVES

Good catch regarding turning off face detection. I usually turn off this feature when doing general photo as the focusing is not consistent. Face detection is good when you're shooting a group with lots of faces essentially in the same plane. RAW tends to be neutral in color and tone while jpg will add a bit of color for a more pleasing image. Thanks for the hints.

You're saving my life here today, Michael. Only had the 90D out a couple of times shooting wildlife and was really disappointed with the auto-focusing. Going to change some settings based on your videos and go out again. Cheers

Thanks for that, I haven’t used my 90d in anger yet. This will help!

Thanks for this video. I just bought my 90d yesterday (upgrade from a 70d) and I have three youth football games to shoot with it today . This video should help me stay focused.

[jackknight]

Awesome pointers. I currently own a 90D and found the information given worthy. Thanks a million!

Hi Michael
Thanks for your very great tutorials about the 90d. I bought this gear two days ago and because of your videos i got very quick used of the handling. So please keep going, all 90d users will appreciate.
Greetings from Berlin in Germany

Thanks Michael for the update to the 4 problems you found, and do really appreciate your letting people with the 90D know.

Excellent explanation of the focusing issue that many have experienced and described but which few/none save you tracked down and provided an explanation.

[keimiyamoto]

I actually have no problem with iTR, I even use it for birds in flight as the subjects I most often photograph. However, this works only when choosing [iTR Enable], not including the face recognition. Even though the AF works slower a bit on locking the focus, it's more accurate. That's the only trade off I found and I willingly choose this for the sake of accuracy 🙂

[guzz]

The 90d can shoot the external flash in liveview mode?

[hertwend]

Thanks a million I just hoped I would had found your video earlier, so many pictures have went wrong due to face priority focusing. I have had my 90D just for few months. As an example, shooting photos of dogs and it take only one person to be behind the dogs, yep focus which I selected is on the dogs but final focus appeared to be on the person behind the dogs, frustrating 😑 next picture the person face is more hidden behind the dogs and yes this time the focus went correctly. But now with help of your video I'll have more accurate focused photos. Thanks 😊

Thanks
I never would have found that autofocus face priority. Mine was surely turned on and I surely turned it off. Had some shooting issues outside with my grandson. Some of the photos of him Easter egg hunting are soft and not focused sharply.

This is awesome information

Thank you so much Michael for sharing the issues and the tips!

Kind of a workaround for the difference between raw and jpeg is using Canon's own DPP software for processing, the camera profile used in DPP just applies the jpeg settings the raw file.
