Canon R7 Sending the R7 to Canon this week

[freddijay]

I have three months left on my warranty so the R7 is heading back to Canon for a small but persistent problem. I have two of the back buttons set up for focus initiation. If I hold the <AF-ON> button down while pressing the shutter button, the camera will sometime continue firing multiple extra frames even after letting off pressing the shutter button. I admit it has improved my follow-through as I hold very still now even after releasing the shutter button. The other possible problem is either a real or an imagined loss in image quality over the last nine months. Otherwise, the camera has been my go to since purchase. I did go back to the R5 for birding a bit just to get a reference and that's when I noticed the image quality issue. The R5 is also a bit better at locking onto the eyes of birds with more keepers. If and when I get the R7 back, I shall really delve into settings and hope to improve that comparison.

I've read about that before. Does it feel sticky or does it just continue to fire with a properly functioning shutter button?

The shutter button feels totally normal with no physical symptoms. It's intermittent as well and only happens one time in five.

Off it went. Results TBD. Meanwhile back to the R5.
