Hello, I got my first Canon (RP) to get started in this journey!

I did the firmware upgrade 1.5.0. but I don't get the 24fps option to chose from.

Any ideas how to fix it, or point me to what I am doing wrong?

Within a few weeks of the EOS R being released, we had some good, helpful suggestions for Customizing AF tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration, and point auto switching. I'm not finding anything specific about this for the R5/R6 yet, but I might be missing some good links.

What experience and advice might CR members share about these options for the R5/R6? Do the 4 cases plus Auto meet most uses in the real world?

Any other AF setting tips?

Thanks!

This seems like a stupid decision to me, the Canon R6 user manual states on https://cam.start.canon/sl/C004/manual/html/UG-09_Reference_0040.html:

It would be really nice to be able to set up a time lapse to shoot all day, which would be impossible with this restriction. Is there a way around this, or am i missing somethign obvious as to why this restriction is in place?

DPReview has completed its review of the Canon EOS R5. They come away very impressed with the camera, with the caveats that we’ve read about ad nauseam.
A couple of new things I hadn’t read about the EOS R5 from the DPReview is that dynamic range dips a bit when shooting with the 20fps electronic shutter as the camera goes from 14-bit to 12-bit when using the electronic shutter, which had overlooked until today.
There is also non-optional noise reduction applied to RAW files. Outside of those two things and how the camera handles heat for 8K and 4KHQ, there really isn’t much negative to say about the camera.

Conclusion
The Canon EOS R5 is well-suited for just about any type of photographer, whether you shoot portraits, events, weddings, sports, family gatherings, and more. We've felt a bit let down by Canon's promises of the camera's outright video capability, but for most users, it's still a great option for getting good-quality video clips of almost anything you point it at. Power users that need the best video quality all the time won't be a good fit, but otherwise the EOS R5 is a fantastic option for almost anyone looking for a quality full-frame high-resolution mirrorless camera."

Hi all, I bought in August a Canon R5 to make panoramic images (using the nodal ninja rotating head), than use also for street photography, nature, events and so on (no studio, no weddings, no macro, no still life).
Someone suggested me to consider also the R6 since has a bit better EV (half stop) and smaller sensor (so in theory, easy to handle stiiching images and maybe better image quality on low light conditions). I have however decided to go for the R5 because the weather sealing and few other plus that that R6 does not have.
(The 8K video is not yet important to me as I do not do really videos...).

Now, I have used the R5 a bit and find great. However I see posts that a possible R5S might appear in 2021 or maybe 2022? I do not care about a larger file/image sensor, but of course a larger EV/low light image quality could be very interesting to me....

However I am not sure if indeed a made the best decision to buy the R5, or indeed was better to get the R6 or wait 1 year or longer for a possible R5 upgrade (R5S)?

Maybe I am just too paranoic?

I know I'm missing something but I cannot seem to get the EOS R5 Autofocus Assist Light Beam to stop firing. I do a lot of manual-focus photography of macro subjects and, although it does NOT have an effect on the actual exposures, I would like to get the AFALB to shut off. It depletes the battery somewhat I'm sure and also delays the exposure. I have set the menu item AF-2 "AF-assist beam firing" to "OFF" but it stills pulses for every shot. Does anyone have any ideas or have you found a way to truly disable it?
Duuh, stupid mistake for sure... I had the 2-second timer on. Sorry to bother anyone.

Hello,
I am looking at upgrading from the Iphone 11 Pro to the new 12 Max instead of the 12 Pro. Does anyone think the larger sensor and IBIS will be noticeable and worth carrying the bigger phone?

Hello Guys,

Gordon has finished his, as one of the first, review of the new RF 85mm F2 IS STM lens. He compares it to the RF85mm F1.2L and the ancient EF 85mm F1.8.
As I own the later lens my personal interest was such a review to evaluate If I can justify the 680€ extra money.

In m case, I think I will update the the new RF lens, because of the two reasons: Much better detail and contrast, and the much smaller closeup focus distance.
Here is the video for own judments, have fun:


Cheers Stefan

I noticed that Amazon and B&H show release date of the new RF 85mm f2 as October 22.

I enabled R6 multi-controller through the customized buttons, but I don't see anything happening in the viewfinder or LCD when I press it. Wondering if I am missing something? Any guidance on its operation. Thanks.

My R5 is not here yet, but I was wondering if one can use UHS 1 SD cards in the R5? I know the performance will be limited, but is it possible and has anybody tried?

I have a ton of those laying around; just wondering if they will still be useful; albeit not the fastest...CF express and even UHS 2 SD cards are obviously a lot pricier.

Thanks for any info!

Canon Japan has announced two new APS-H image sensors from Canon with 250mp of resolution. As Keith at Northlight points out, that’s a resolution of 388.7mp if they were full-frame sensors.
From Canon: (Google Translated)
As a new product of APS-H size (about 29.4 x 18.9 mm) CMOS sensor, Canon will release “LI8020SAC (color) / LI8020SAM (monochrome)” capable of imaging about 250 million pixels (19,568 x 12,588 pixels) in 2020. It will be released in late October of the year.

Main features


The new product is an ultra-high resolution CMOS sensor with approximately 250 million pixels, which enables you to capture detailed information in an image while shooting a wide range. In addition, by setting the pitch of one pixel to 1.5 μm (micrometer), we have achieved approximately 250 million pixels in APS-H size, making it possible to use it for various purposes. It can be used for various purposes such...

Are you in the market for a portrait lens for your Canon RF mount camera? Don’t have the budget for the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L or the pair of Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L lenses? Well, then the Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 for the RF mount may be for you.
This Samyang has autofocus and weather sealing, as well as terrific image quality for the price. I have yet to find a bad review of the Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 and actually ordered one myself.
Key Features

Fast F1.4 lens with beautiful bokeh – 9 rounded aperture blades provide pleasing bokeh
Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) – Proprietary UMC technology effectively eliminates Ghosting and Flare

Just wondering if anyone has received the free Canon jacket for people that pre-ordered a R5 or R6?

I ordered the day they went on sale in June, and I have not heard anything or know of anyone that has received a jacket. Have you?

I was pleasantly surprised to see the CinemaGamut_CanonLog2-to-BT709_WideDR_33_FN_Ver.1.1.cube works really well with the 8K RAW footage, but I'm having a hard time finding a good Canon LUT for the regular 4K 10-bit footage. What are you guys using?

The main companies can do a simple firmware with 6 digit pin code.

It’s that time of the year again. The 5DayDeal Photography Bundle 2020 has launched. This is something I support every single year because I find a great deal of value in it. Even if you only learn one thing from all of the content provided, it’s more than worth it for the cost.
The other reason I support this bundle is because of the charity component. We’re going to raise a lot of money for various charities. You also get to choose which charity you’d like to support.
There are three different bundle options to choose from. 5DayDeal has done a great job of offering multiple bundles for different budgets and learning goals.
There is too much available in the three bundles to list here, but head on over to 5DayDeal and learn more.
There are some bonuses for folks that buy the bundle through Canon Rumors.

Beautiful evening!

I need the help of experienced R5 users, please! My R5`s AF fails, when I want to shoot birds that are not format-filling. The AF always focusses on infinity and stays there, even if the selected AF field (spot AF, extended spot AF) is pointing sufficiently on the bird. The subject meets all needs on contrast and size to cover the whole AF-points. To solve this problem, I´ve to rearrange and point the AF field on much nearer object, then it focusses correctly in most cases.
But this is not satisfacting. These days I lost a lot of shots, when an kingfisher fetched fishes mnultiple times out of the water.

Any advide to solve this background fixation?
Thank you!
