I'll keep looking, but the manual doesn't really say much about this except, "Note: You can record movies by pressing the movie shooting button during still photo shooting." Can anyone add some value here? I assume it will shoot video according to whatever video settings are set if I flip the switch to video, right? Who does this, and what else is there to know about it? Will still mode and video mode get into autofocus fights or something? :) What happens to the aperture? My wife is going...

I've just finished testing 50 memory cards in the R6 III, 23 CFexpress Type B and 27 UHS-II SD cards. The R6 III isn't writing to the CFexpress slot much faster than 520 MB/s. So because the vast majority of CFexpress Type B cards can sustain this speed and more, they mostly perform the same in-camera. There were only three cards that dropped below these speeds, which increased the buffer clearing times. There is definitely no in-camera benefit to using the newer CFexpress 4.0 cards over...

I made the mistake of clicking on an InstaGram ad for Tiffen Black Soft Glow Filters. After doing a bit of searching for reviews, I see they are on sale at B&H. So my question is - are they worth it? If so, what strength(s) would you suggest? 🤔

I was just wondering if anyone here is using the Angelbird AV Pro Mk 2 V90 UHS-II memory card in any of the R Series bodies? If you are, how quickly do they clear a full buffer of RAW + JPEG L images when shooting in Hi+ ? I've tested three of these cards (two 64GB and one 128GB), all purchased from authorised dealers not third-parties on Amazon or eBay. In all of the cameras I have tested them in so far the 64GB card has been incredibly slow, slower even than the V60 version of the same...

This dropped a few days ago and they haven't pulled it yet! https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-r3#idReference=firmware_flag Firmware Version 2.0.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes: 1.

Hi i have just purchased an R5 MKii and have also purchased a Sandisk Extreme Pro type B 2 card and the reader. Some people have told me i have made a mistake In buying this card/reader combination due to speeds etc and that i should go for a different brand and the type B 4 version card. I was lead to believe that the R5 will operate fine on the Sandisk because even if i went for a V4 card the Camera isn’t compatible yet to benefit from the tech. I have always used Sandisk in my r6 mkii...

Testing my new toy: 45mm f1.2 lens. First time have the opportunity to play with 1.2, and so far it's nice. On a full frame RAW there is some vignetting at the corners, probably beacause latest LR still does not have profile for this lens. In jpegs vignetting is non-existent.

I am looking at Bellows for my R5 as a replacement/enhancement for my Meike 11mm and 18mm Extension Tubes. Does anyone have experience with Bellows? The one I am looking at is a Fotodiox Macro Bellows (with everything manual) for $51.91 on Amazon. I could pay $1285.00 for one with contacts, but I (meaning my wife) can't justify the expense for yet another camera gadget.

I downloaded the EOS R5 Mark II Firmware Version 1.2.0 and when I try to run the update it finds the 1.2.0 FW then starts, and blanks out with a click of the shutter. Anybody else having this issue?

I've collected a few tripod heads over the last couple years, and decided to put a quick release receiver on the tripod and a plate on each head. I also got a 65mm plate with a Quick Disconnect port and strap-mounting slot for the heavy EF 70-200mm lens. I went with the Leofoto brand for price and compatibility (links at bottom) but other vendors have similar products.

Got my R5II this week and took it out to do some product shots earlier. I had focus bracketing setup and was using my Godox V860iii. First half of the day went great, was able to get some solid sequences and the camera was having no problem shooting high speed continuous with the flash for 9 frames with an interval setting of 4. Later on in the day I got locked out of choosing high speed or any continuous shooting mode for that matter. I’ve trouble shot everything. Reset all the settings...

I've noticed that my R5II has a tendency to lose its subject detection 'lock' when I'm photographing various critters (mostly birds and small mammals). It doesn't seem to matter what subject detection mode I have selected (Auto vs Animal) or what focus mode I have selected (wide vs spot or anything in between). Once I've done the initial focus lock with the AF-ON button and start firing away, the camera will almost always decide to switch its subject to a nearby twig or clump of leaves...

That was quick. The R6 III already has a new firmware version: 1.0.1. It addresses some instances where CFexpress cards can not be formatted in-camera. Download here: https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer/products/cameras/eos-r/eos-r6-mark-iii.html?type=firmware Has anyone with the camera already had any issues with formatting CFexpress cards?

I assigned my tiny m-fn button to magnify it works for me Fat fingers struggle with magnify button at back and seems you cannot reassign that one

The UL Series rotating brackets come in either silver or black, and are constructed from hard anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum...

New Firmware for EOS R5: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/canon-product-advisories/Firmware-Notice-EOS-R5-Firmware-Version-2-2-1 Note: I'm on a Mac and downloaded the Mac version, but it wouldn't open to reveal the FIR update file. I then downloaded the Windows version and used the FIR update file, and it updated fine (y) Version 2.2.1 Lou

Since I regularly use Luminar Neo and DxO Photolab 9, and since I shot some high ISO images last night, I thought I'd post one image processed in both editors. Each image was processed with the software's automatic/recommended settings and no other manual edits. The Head2Head JPG was created in Gimp with a simple copy/paste, no editing except the added words. 1) Photolab: R5II Camera Body rendering, "DxO Smart Lighting," DeepPrime 3 noise reduction. 2) Neo: R5II Camera Faithful profile...

The latest firmware for the R5m2 has been released. Whenever I switch on one of the twins, I also open Canon's Camera Connect app on my iPhone. The purpose of doing this is to have GPS data automatically recorded as photos are taken; however, the app also automates — alright, ‘nearly automates’ — the hitherto complicated process of updating firmware. Easy-peasey! Just how the camera is ‘more comfortable to use’ (see text in image below) remains a mystery. … David
