I'm pretty sure they mean some focal length / aperture combination that hasn't been done before. But yes, it could theoretically just mean literally any new lens.

Not being cynical, but are not all new lens released by Canon never seen before (by the public)? It is the very definition of a new lens.

Geez all these folks bellyaching about this issue or that problem. I'm problem free and even jumped into the 1.1.0 firmware update. No changes. Still perfect in all regards. NO focus issues, NO Lockups. I'm wondering if indeed Canon may have used some 3rd party parts to move their production forward and in doing so have had issues in the motherboard operations. Mine skipped that issue I guess. Some have not apparently.

Yes, I disabled the sleep mode, disabled a lot other features (eye-AF e.g.). Canon does not find an problem at all, but states, it is suffering from AF problems. Solution: Maybe Firmware update. The fixed MB is ok.

I have AF issues as well. What other things can I try that apparently have been discussed on this forum before?

Fine fine fine!
New features added to cameras whose AF doesn't work, whose batteries discharge at TGV speed.
If this isn't progress?

I especially like the last one for the colours on the wings.

Very nice, Noreaster. The first one is a pretty cool shot.

It's still only on the German website by the way - see here.

Edit: Curious to see that some features (Panning Assist, Finder Display Priority and more) are *not* listed in the German firmware change-log. What the hell?

Any guinea pigs that want to share their experience with 1.1.0.? I would love to see the new Pre-Shoot-Features.

Looks like the actual CDN links don't work when you try to download. So any other canon website that still has it listed also won't work.

Very nice series, Noreaster.

I really like the first one. Well done.

It was a selfie with iPhone.

Applied the new firmware to my R5 II, that is suffering from multiple problems. Nothing has changed. Still AF is NOT working properly, and the batteries are drained heavily as before. Just war on an bird challange in my hide in the morning. 650 shots, 2 fully loaded batteries inside. After about 500 shots the green H+ went off.... now battery indicator is blinking.
And the AF... OMG... Just deleted almost all shots, as the Af stucks on the background (and not on the 80% of the viewinder filling osprey). What a miss.
Why does canon not fix all the problems that are outside before adding new features?
(Being sorry for beeing REALLY dissatisfied by my favourite fotographis-brand)

Have you tried the fixes that have worked for some others here, like disabling sleep modes etc? (It's no consolation to you that my R5ii has excellent AF and the problems seem specific to some but not all bodies.)

I have no knowledge of CR internals, but during previous updates to the site, Craig has said that having this forum and the frontpage tied together and accounts in sync is a lot of work. The sync has been broken before and fixed/reactivated later. I suspect this is an effect of the maintenance this week. I don't know if it was an intended effect, though.

Thx for the explanation. Makes sense, hope they can fix it soon.

I loaded the new R5MkII firmware from the Hong Kong site. Not sorry about it. Works just fine so far. I don't use larger then a 512gb card so the known issue isn't going to effect me. I also rarely shoot any video either. So far the overall focus seems to work just fine as it did before with 1.0.3.

BTW I just started with ObsIdentify - and found it doesn't cover all the world. Started with juvenile bird (Java Sparrow) in order to see if it makes mistakes and to figure out why... It ID it as an European Green finch (75%).
In other words I can't use it in Hawaii
