This seems a good idea to me.

I'd like AF assist for AF Servo mode taking flash stills in dark conditions.

I use back focus button and normally keep servo mode on, just remove finger when happy with exposure. I've been told this is a wrong technique, but I'm not sure why). It is annoying when I try to focus and I can't!

Ideally a switch (or permanently on?) that means AF assist will light up in dark conditions as normal and continuously when in a servo AF mode and a focus (half trigger or back button as per canon user set up)

I'm a ML Newbie so hope I'm understanding the forum etiquette correctly.

Fast reply - thanks A1ex - clearly a hero! Cool histobar animation.

Just done this for the first time (windows and it didn't work - soon discovered the CR2 file needs to be in the same folder as the cr2hdr.exe file.

Dragging the image to the exe creates the .dng file in the same folder.

If you have them you can open in adobe camera raw by opening in photoshop OR open in Lightroom (works for me - though I've seen suggestions it doesn't).

My first post - Hello!

Finaly decided to install LR. Installed on my 500D and mostly all very smooth and awesome!

Tried searching but can't see a place to find out what everything being displayed means (it doesn't look like the one in the user manual) so point me there please or let me know (especially 5):

My guesses so far:
1. Ghost image. Came up on top left - I'd imagined this would be full screen - instead it has vertical bands which extend over various parts of the display. What is this feature meant to do?
2. Histogram
3. Center point with % brightness? How useful is this?
4. Time
5. Bars - unknown - something to do with exposure? What do the colours mean?
6. Something to do with exposure to the right - what does the number mean?
5. Recording RAW
8. Unknown: "Alo"?
9. Remaining card memory
10. Mode
11. Lens focal length (no image stabilisation)
12. Aperture
13. ISO
14. White balance
15. Focus distance
16. Auto focus on
17. exposure compensation (stops)
18. battery remaining.

Thanks for looking, any comments welcome!
