Canon R5 First day issues maybe

Photofarmer · Sunday at 10:12 PM

Always used R6 or R6ii for equine but used second hand R5 yesterday sharp, easier cropping but eye tracking just not as good search for many things before locking on.
Sometimes doesn't lock on at all.
Same settings as R6 even tried R6 and locked on fine not sure what issue is will go through all settings.
PS love the camera and output will work it out im sure and yes BBF

Probably because you had Auto turned on...remember that f/18 in the invert of 81mm.

I had a similar issue when out in Yellowstone national park shooting black bears and grizzlies. The R5 had a really tough time (read impossible) getting any focus at all with the black bear, and a difficult time with the griz. I didn't have my R6ii then, but I will for my next visit. For most other things the R5 worked like a charm.

I've seen the R7 find the eye of a vulture at 400 feet, but it failed completely on this guy -

It can be one of two things. Your focus point could be incorrect, or the light on the subject. The electronics of the camera will focus on the brightest part of the picture. An example of this is family pictures where the camera person shoots the subject, and the camera focuses on the brightest part of the picture (background) and the foreground is so dark, the subject is unrecognizable.

Good luck.
