Helicon Soft Forum

Hi,

Recently buyed a new Sigma 150mm, to replace the Canon 180 lost in Greece (been robbed) and Sigma 150 (destroyed after I have felt on some rocks... again in Greece).

Now after I have bought the software I was happy to try also this feature of Helicon. Surprise, surprise... even if is a lens with autofocus the focus step by step is not working so no way that I can use this software. Installed also EOS Utility, just to try everything with software from "his mother"... not working.

Is anyway possible to work with this combination (Canon 7D + Sigma 150) with Helicon Remote?

Thank you,
cosmln

up !

Frankly, there is not much hope. Even EOS Utility cannot move the focus that means that lens ignores focusing commands, which is very strange. We are developing newer version which will work directly with the camera without Canon libraries, that might be a solution but I wouldn't bet on it.

If I want to focus in a point is working, but is not doing the step by step focus.
I'm interested in the beta version.

Thanks, we will send you a link when it is ready.

I bougt Helicon Focus Pro today and tried Helicon Romote with the above camera + lens combination (Canon 7D and Sigma 150 2.8 Macro).
It works perfectly.
