with my R5 using firmware 2.1.0 When I put the camera in Focus bracketing mode it disables high speed drive mode and defaults to single shot or self timer. However, it still shoots the entire sequence. Which is contrary to what I have been reading. Is this a bug or is it operating properly? what I have read says if you don't set your drive mode to continuous high speed that it will require you to push the shutter for every shot of the focus stack. Maybe that is for Firmware 1.8.1, and fixed...

Happy New Year everyone 🥳 I sincerely hope that 2025 is filled with good health, happiness and lots of photos tied to great memories. Have you made any photographic goals for this year or planned any photo holidays? My life is so busy right now with family and work that my only desire is to try and take a little more time for myself with my camera, preferably snapping some beautiful wildlife. Let’s see how that goes!

Testing the RF 2X TC on the RF 100-300 f/2.8 I am amazed. appears to be no noticeable IQ degradation. So this lens with TCs is 100-300 f/2.8, 140-420 f/4, and 200-600 f/5.6.

When i bought my R6M2 it was the bundle with the RF 24-105 F4-7.1 lens. I'm happy with the lens and have taken some great photo's with it. But I've seen photo's that are taken with 24-105 F4L and i think they look amazing. Now i am thinking about trading in my F4-7.1 and getting the F4L What do you guys advice i should do?

Shipped from B&H Friday. Now I'll need to find a bigger camera bag!

Daughter said you need anything from camera store. Oh not really although ask the guys they know me see if you can find something sub $100 if ya want. Err unwrapped present a $400 backpack on special down to $300 32 litre. Sort of a "travel" one Tenba. So ive got a super tough shimoda that I bought second hand 30lt and now this one but I actually filled it. 3 camera bodies, 4 lenses with hoods , 3 lightning triggers, one flash, one fog strap, one 1.4 converter , two wallets of...

Hope you all had a great Christmas and are looking forward to a 'snappy' new year. Have spent the last week in bed with flu / cold, just starting to feel a little more human today and. . . . the wife now has it so that's our break done. Almost guarantee the day we go back to work all will be well - sods law huh. . . . tell you what, if I ever meet this guy 'sod' he is in for such a kicking. Ahh well, hopefully next Christmas will be better ;-)

Apologies, I've tried asking this before, but haven't got a clear answer yet, so I'll try asking again... Part 1 Is it true or not that Evaluative Metering considers the whole scene but with a bias on focusing point? I am asking because this is not documented on Canon manuals but many photographers say so. This is also supported by Canon manual (thanks Canon for making things ambiguous) in the AE Lock description: in Evaluative Metering the AE Lock considers the point in focus. Part 2 If...

I have C3 set as my “macro” setting and I SWORE I had Focus Peaking turned on, and I swore I’ve seen it in action…and I checked it and it appears to be on, yet when I switch to manual focus, I don’t see it. I do see the magic box and the focus pointy things, but no Peaking. Enlighten me, oh wise ones.

I don’t yet and haven’t really explored it.

Does anyone have experience and/or recommendations for a battery grip with the Canon R8?

Trying to figure out what happened here with the hummingbird's wings. This was shot with my R6 MKII and a Tamron 150-600mm at about 500mm. At first I wondered about shutter roll but it's not what that looks like.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays folks. I wish you all a cracking time this holiday season. A huge thank you to everyone who continues to contribute to this forum, no matter whether that's just the odd like now and again or regular posts. Every interaction is appreciated. I don't have a recent snowy bird photo to share but here's one I made earlier :)

I have an indoor herb garden and I just noticed that my rosemary had bloomed. I decided to play with macro and see what kind of banding or other issues the LED grow lights caused. The light looks "normal' to my eyes, but just for excrement and hilarity I wanted to see what the camera saw. First thing I noticed was that all the LCD menu items on my R5 were GREEN. Took a 10 shot stack and composted it, This is what I got: Not anything I'll be in a hurry to do again, but kind of cool in a...

I was kinda focused on the ACR Adaptive Preset and was not even aware of these for LrC. Starts at 9:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmXnFUSLt_U

Bonsoir a tous, Avec mon nouveau RF R6 Mark II je commence a utilisé mon objectif canon EF 24-70MM F/2.8 L USM avec la bague d’adaptation monture EF-EOS R mais je trouve que c’est très lourd et j’hésite a le mettre sur un trépied. Ma question est la suivante existe-t-il une bague que je pourrais adapter sur l’objectif pour soulager l’appareil ? Merci pour vos réponses. Bien cordialement

Long time LR and PS user, but photography phocused (hehe). My issue is just lately, the flag and reject flags are no longer visible AND more importantly, the right click on the image and select EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP is no longer active....why? It's greyed out and I've no idea why. My workaround at this point is to edit as far as possible in LR, export as JPG, then re-ingest to PS to final edit before re-saving.....which is ludicrous. It's literally NEVER done this before.

Hey guys, probably been asked a thousand times already - I have been using lightroom for years but only in the most basic of ways, I shoot all my trackside stuff in jpeg and have a couple of presents to basically batch process a couple of thousand at a time before doing a quick crop or cull. I begrudgingly went over to the subscription PS / LR when I had the R3 but knowing that they are about to screw us over even more shortly with price hikes etc. PLEASE if any of you use DPP exclusively...

I'm a bit compulsive about acquiring new camera gear, especially lenses. It goes back to when I had my studio and needed a large assortment of gear for working projects. I had several camera systems from 35mm to 8 x 10, each having a different set of lenses for each format. Now I only have my R and M series Canon cameras. And there are a couple of lenses I want to own but in order to keep my post retirement hobby cost neutral I feel I need to sell before I buy. My go to RF mount lenses...

Found an old PowerShot SD 630 at work and have been playing with it. First impression: “Holy hell, this thing is slow!” I tried to take a picture of my dog and pressed the shutter. By the time it fired, she’d walked out of frame! :p Then the camera has to chew on the image for a solid minute or two, before it’s ready to take another shot. “Point and shoot? More like point and wait!”. Frame rate is probably in the range of .002 FPS. I have been surprised by how sharp the images are (for...
