Need F2 lens ....

Tough going at rodeo with poor lightning even software didnt save it much quite a few artefacts. Question though camera was showing 102,400 ISO but meta data way different?? and the odd figure what setting have I adjusted to get such figure. I post good with the bad

This one is through trial of pure raw 6 a bit better but not much

When I view full screen on my 27" monitor the photos really have an AI look to it... especially on the bulls butt, the peoples faces and the cowpoke climbing the fence. It all has a baby-butt smooth schmeer. I wonder if 1/1000 sec would have been too short? I wasn't there and know the lighting, so...

I was going to add the same - almost as though too much noise reduction so everything a little 'over smooth' if you know what we mean ;-)

Still a great action shot though

agree with you all Will have do image again with reduced noise reduction

The discrepancy where a Canon R6 displays an ISO of 51,200 (or similar) on the camera body but shows 65,535 in post-processing software (like Lightroom or metadata viewers) is caused by how software interprets maximum values in
16-bit metadata fields.

Here is why this happens:

• Maximum 16-Bit Value (65535): In many raw processing applications, the EXIF data for ISO is read using a 16-bit integer, which has a maximum possible value of 65,535 (
  216−1
  ). When a camera shoots at an extended, very high ISO (such as 51,200, 102,400, or above), the software sometimes incorrectly reports the ceiling of that 16-bit integer rather than the specific, high ISO value reported by the camera.
• "Maxed Out" Metadata: When shooting in extended high ISO modes (often marked as "H" in Canon cameras), the camera pushes the sensor to its absolute limit. Software sometimes interprets these extreme, non-standard, or expanded ISO values as simply "maximum" and displays 65,535.
• Auto ISO Behavior: The R6, particularly if you are using an automatic ISO setting, can jump to extreme ISO values. If your maximum auto ISO is set very high, the software may default to showing this 16-bit maximum.

Summary: Your camera is shooting at 51,200 (or the maximum you permitted), but the software displaying 65,535 is a bug or limitation in how that specific software reads the metadata, interpreting it as "maximum allowed" rather than the precise value.

How to verify:

1. Check the ISO in the native Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, which usually reads the metadata correctly.
2. Ensure your firmware is updated to the latest version, as this can affect how metadata is recorded.
3. If this is happening in Auto ISO, check your "Max" setting in the ISO Speed Range menu to confirm it's not set to "H" (204,800).

F2 lens combined with maybe 1/1250 or 1000 and drop iso to 25k would help sadly wont be getting one. As far as lightning one of the worst rodeos most have 3 towers this one only had 2 other thought I had will set iso to a max of 52000 in camera as anything above is gonna be shite anyway
