Hi all
Loving my R5.
But I would love to have some kind of exposure warning before taking the shot.
I know you can have the Zebra lines for movie.
Is there a similar thing for stills ( cant find any myself and I have looked)

Alas, no, it's not available in still mode. It's not just a Canon thing, I've heard complaints from Nikon Z users as well. I suspect they could get it in a firmware update, but I'm not holding my breath.

You can display the histogram, though, which will show you if you're blowing out the right side. Not that you want it in your way, but you can tap the display button a few times to bring it in and then get rid of it.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
