This was an issue I had with both R1 cameras shooting video with the RF 24-105 f/2.8L IS USM Z lens before the last firmware update. It specifically happened right around 35mm and I would have to zoom out to 24mm and focus would work just fine - zoom to around 50mm and it would work, too. It does say "subject" in the text, and I wasn't using subject detection. After the last update, I shot 2 video projects and the issue appeared to be resolved - at least for the 24-105. Perhaps it impacted more lenses or they recognized something else that I thankfully haven't encountered. haha But it was the absolute weirdest thing to see...the R1 just would not focus at all unless I changed the focal length on the lens. Taking photos, focus was just fine.
images on the other card they are not at risk. And I low-level format the card I
will use for the update before uploading the update to it. I'm in the process of
doing the 1.03 update right now ... about 80% complete as I type this.
and camera appears to be working "as though I hadn't done an update at all" (again -
as expected).
I am always amazed at how slow updates are - with a camera processor and card
capable of taking pictures at such high rates of speed you would think that the
update progress bar would be 'racing' across the screen. *G*.
- just guessing. My upgrade went fine, first time. I copied upgrade file to the SD (or CF?)
card using Windows and a Lexar card reader/interface ... - Jim in the PNW
Other suggestion: try updating with a lens mounted on the camera.
