Wow!

Canon just announced the Canon 1Dx Mark III!  It’s just a development announcement so not all the specs have been released yet. 

We know it’s going to have the same body as the 1Dx Mark II, but with improved image quality, improved video quality, and improved Auto Focus, as well as a bunch of other improvements!  The price hasn’t been announced yet, but I’m guessing it will be around the $7000 mark.

As more information is release, I will post updates to my blog at www.UTECHPIA.com/1DxMarkIII

So here’s what we know so far:

Canon said it will have the BEST movie shooting performance in EOS History! 

That’s a bold statement, and I can’t wait to see how they’ll deliever on that.

It can capture 4K video at 60fps record INTERNALLY with 10-BIT with C-Log!

And it can even shoot videos in RAW!?  That’s probably going to produce some super, super super-duper large video files!

They didn’t mention anything about IBIS or in-body image stabilization; so it most likely won’t have it.

We’re getting backlit buttons on the back of the camera!  This is great for event photographers like Wedding photography where you are shooting in super dark environment!  Now, backlit buttons is something that Nikon has had for over 9 years… but, it’s finally coming to the Canon 1Dx Mark III! 

There’s a NEW AF button on the back of the camera, I’m not exactly sure how it works, but it does physically look different than the AF button on the 1Dx Mark II.

The Autofocus will be better than what’s found on the 1Dx Mark II, this is true weather you’re using the camera in Live View or looking through the Optical View Finder.  I think the Autofocus on the 1dx Mark II is great, so better AF is certainly welcomed in my book!

Not a lot of information has been released about the new image sensor yet, we don’t even know the number of megapixels it’s going to have.  My guess is that it’s probably going to be at least 20MP. And along with the new Image Sensor, it will have a brand new processor as well.  And it’s confirmed to have better low light performance than the 1Dx Mark II, but again it is not clear on exactly how much better.  That’s something we’re going to have to wait and find out.

Canon did give one official specification that I’m excited about, and that’s the high speed frame rate when taking photos with AF tracking….

When in Live View (aka Mirrorless Mode) it can shoot a burst mode of up to 20fps with AF Tracking!  That’s crazy fast!  However, with Live View Mode (again, aka Mirrorless mode), you won’t be able to use the optical view finder.

So, if you want to use the optical viewfinder while shooting the burst mode goes down to 16 fps… It’s not 20, but it’s still super fast, considering the fact that you have continuous AF tracking going on at the same time.

Memory Cards wise, it’ll be using Dual CF Express Cards!

The battery will be the same, LP-E19 that we’re used to using with the 1Dx Mark II.  Canon stated that the battery life has been “Dramatically improved!”.  The Canon 1dx Mark II already has fantastic battery life, in my opinion, so I’m really excited to hear how much the battery life will be improved will be for the 1dx Mark III.

It’s also going to have Built-in WiFi, and built-in Bluetooth.

Anyway, that’s all I have for now.  As more information is release, I will post updates to my blog at www.UTECHPIA.com/1DxMarkIII

So, let me know, are you guys excited about the 1Dx Mark III?  Do you think it’s a worthy upgrade to the 1Dx Mark II?

How to add an email profile picture to any domain email address

Last updated February 2, 2022

If you have a custom email like yourname@yourdomain.com and you send an email to a Gmail user, you’ll notice your email comes in without a profile photo (or profile picture)!  As a business, you’ll certainly want to have a profile photo, either your company logo or your face profile, whatever it is, this helps makes your email more authentic.

In this post, I will show you how to setup your yourname@yourdomain.com account so that when you send an email to a Gmail account, your profile photo will show up!  It does not matter if your email is hosted via hostgator, bluehost, ipage, etc or any webhosting or email hosting solution!  It doesn’t matter if you are sending your email from Gmail, horde, roundcube, SquirrelMail, or any other webmail client!

Bonus tip: did you know you can use your gmail account to send and receive emails from yourname@yourdomain.com email address?  Yep, it’s easy!  You can setup a Gmail account and have it import your yourname@yourdomain.com emails; your Gmail account will also have the option to set emails “as alias” and recipient of your emails will see that it was sent from yourname@yourdomain.com.  Most hosting company will show you how to setup google mail POP3 access like this article for hostgator users: https://support.hostgator.com/articles/google-mail-fetcher

Advertisement: The easiest way to create an email address and use all of Google’s feature is by creating a G Suite Account for your domain email address. I.E. yourname@yourdomain.com. Here’s how to setup a G Suite account .  NOTE: I can generate you a 20% off code, simply email me at david@utechpia.com and ask me for a G Suite Code, let me know if you want a coupon code for G Suite Basic or G Suite Business, and I’ll send you over a 20% off code!

So you probably came to this blog because when you send an email to a Gmail user, the receiving party doesn’t see a profile photo.

The receiving party will see something like this:

What you WANT to see is something like this:

I’ve searched long and hard to find the solution (other than paying for a Gsuite Account)! The solution is simple!

SOLUTION: Simply go to google.com, sign-out of your account. Create a NEW google account, and make sure to select the option to create it using your existing email address. Then use the yourname@yourdomain.com email address. This will create a Google account for your yourname@yourdomain.com. Now that you are sign in, go to google.com and click on the upper right hand corner Icon, it will let you change your profile of your Google account (which is now your Google Plus account linked to yourname@yourdomain.com). In the Google Plus account, simply update your profile photo and save it. It takes a few hours to update, and then BOOM, you’re done! That profile photo will show up as your email profile photo when you send emails as yourname@yourdomain.com!

After doing that, when you send emails, your email profile photo will finally show up! The email avatar is now the Google Plus Profile Photo! Yay!

Step-By-Step Solution:

So the problem we have is that the receiving party does not see a profile image when they receive your email.  Let’s update your profile photo, here are the step-by-step instructions:

Create your Google+ account to setup your email profile photo

  1. Go to Google.com and Sign out of your gmail account.
  2. Go back to Google.com and Click Sign in
  3. Click on the arrow drop down so you can select “other account”
  4. Select the option to Use another account.
  5. Select the option to Create account.
  6. Make sure to click on “Use my current email address instead”
  7. Put the email address you want to use.
  8. Google will send a verification email to your email.
  9. Open the verification email Google sent to your personalized business email (yourname@yourdomain.com) email.
  10. Now go back to your google account creation page, and use the verification code provided in the email to confirm.
  11. Fill out the profile information for your new Google Plus Account!
  12. Read through the Privacy and Terms, and then agree to move forward.
  13. Go back to Google.com, then on the icon on the upper right hand corner, now select it, and then click on the “change” button to change your profile photo!
  14. This step may take a while (maybe up to an hour!), to speed things up, try sending and receiving email for the new email account (back and forth with any gmail account).
  15. After about an hour, you should see the profile photo get updated!
  16. And now when you send an email, your receipt will see the profile photo.

The steps below include photos if you are a more visual person:

1. Go to Google.com and Sign out of your gmail account.

2. Click Sign in

3. Click on the arrow below so you can select “other account”

4. Select the option to Use another account.

5. Select the option to Create account.

6. Make sure to click on Use my current email address instead.

7.  Here’s where you put the email address you want to use.  Also note, if you don’t want a space between your First name and Last name, then just use the First name field and leave the last name blank.  I need up using RareUnicorns for the First name, and left the Last name blank.  So my email name shows up as “RareUnicorns” instead of “Rare Unicorns”.

8. Google will send a verification email to your personalized business email (yourname@yourdomain.com) email.

9. Open the verification email Google sent to your personalized business email (yourname@yourdomain.com) email.

10. Now go back to your google account creation page, and use the verification code provided in the email to confirm.

11. Fill out the profile information for your new Google Plus Account!

12.  Read through the Privacy and Terms, and then agree to move forward.

13. Go back to Google.com, then on the icon on the upper right hand corner, now select it, and then click on the “change” button to change your profile photo!

14. This step may take a while (maybe up to an hour!), to speed things up, try sending and receiving email for the new email account (back and forth with any gmail account).

15. After about an hour, you should see the profile photo get updated, like I see in the above image!

16. And now when you send an email, your receipt will see the profile photo:
