5d3 wake-up time.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mt Spokane Photography:
I've sold my 5D MK II now, so I can't compare.  Mines been asleep for a couple of hours, so I tried it again, wakeup is the same, about 2/3 second.  The wakeup time was not a issue then or now.  The time to autofocus on my MK III seems longer at times, I've been wondering if thats due to more accurate AF or what.

Pixel:
I've noticed a pretty severe shutter lag/wake-up lag as well. Not sure where the problem lies but noticed it shooting basketball, couple times on a fast break, I quickly picked the camera up, composed and went to fire the shutter and nothing for one or two seconds. Very frustrating.

I wonder if this is directly correlated with the AF points. Or if it's something Canon can fix. I didn't think it would make a difference. But it's noticeable!!

Chris Geiger:
Both of my 5D3's come out of sleep is just a second. I don't have any desire or need for that to be any faster. Works great.

JerryKnight:
I also noticed this, but it's not a huge deal. I just figure the 5D2 was extraordinarily fast starting up, and the 5D3 has more to do when it wakes up. The lens hypothesis is interesting though.

I simply extended the auto-sleep timeout (4 minutes? I forget my exact setting.), and I subconsciously tap the half-shutter button before bringing the camera up to shoot.

When the grip comes in, I'll probably be less worried about conserving battery power. The single battery has already lasted a ~2000 shot wedding, which is almost 3 times what Canon claims for one battery. So I'll probably extend the auto-sleep timeout even further and just use the lock switch when I holster the camera. I doubt there are any hard specs on power consumption when the camera is on but not doing anything, but it can't be too bad.
