My R7 finally arrived after dinner last night, our UPS deliveries are always on the late side. So I had time to unbox it, charge the battery to full power and then do some menu setup. I did the obvious like date, time, switched DST on and then added my copyright stuff and set up the image name structure the way I like (never liked IMG_). Discovered there is a new firmware upgrade so applied that. Took a few random pictures from my desk chair. All was good.

This morning I played a bit more and was disappointed to find out that my Tamron 18-400mm lens that I use all the time on my 7D MkII and my M5 does not focus on the R7 but pulses back and forth. Perhaps I need to do a firmware upgrade for the lens. Hope that is all it takes.

Paid for mine on Tuesday, having ordered in August, but thanks to Royal Mail workers going on strike it won’t be delivered now until next week. It’s a signed for service and I’m away for a few days next week so I just hope they don’t leave it on my doorstep as they have in the past where it can be accessed by passers by.

Very frustrating, but at least you know it’s being dispatched.

Finally arrived. Completely different to the R6. Looking forward to setting it up.
Does anyone know of pocketbook manual similar to the one Nina Bailey does for the R6?
