Hey Guys,

had you ever that behaviour, that your R5mk2 freezes during shooting? Most of the times it happens during some bursts. After the Freeze only the removal of the battery helps. I write the RAW on a Lexar Gold 1TB CFexpress and a Kingston Canvas React Plus 256GB.

Do you ever had that Issue?

cheers

What can I do about the fact that whenever I add a flash or a flash trigger (godox system) to the hot shoe, the exposure simulation gets disabled and (what I assume is) the ovf simulation is engaged?

It’s nice to be able to measure the ambient light using the exp sim.

The only solution I have found is to turn off the flash or trigger, set the exposure, then turn on the flash or trigger.

It’s fine and works, but it’s not elegant.

Now, I’m used to shooting with my 5d’s, so from that respect nothing has changed. But exp sim is a big quality of life upgrade with my leap to mirrorless.

Not a deal breaker, but would be interesting to know what others do.

Cheers!

Hello

i have a canon 2000d (T7) and i would like to know how i can set the shutter botton to do exposure lock and take picture only, while i would like to use another botton, like the one circled to set the focus: Login to view embedded media
is possible to do ?

I was disappointed the RF 70-200 was not internal zoom like the old EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II.

Now we have internally zooming Z lenses. Will any of you upgrade for that very reason?

I wasn't sure where to post this, but here it goes. I watched the original featuring Rudy Winston when it came out. They are back for a 2025 refresh. Even old dogs can learn things from this vid. Required viewing for most IMO.

3. Adds the ability to apply Full-Screen display to an external display according to OSD Output setting when using [Peripheral Border Display].
4. Adds function [Tracking by Touch priority] for starting tracking by touching the LCD.
5. Enables the AF Frame and Focus Guide to be moved by dragging.
6. Adds [Protect Images] and [Rating] during FTP Transfer. (Photo Mode)
7. Adds the [Motion Vector For Digital IS] menu option. Default [Disable]*
* [Disable]: Prevents a phenomenon that may cause the image to shake along with the subject when recording a subject (such as a person or an animal) with a large amount movement.
8. Changes the menu option name of [PTP Connection/GP-E2] in [USB Mode] in [System Setup] to [Canon App(s)/GP-E2]. For Android devices, please select [Canon App(s)/GP-E2].
9. Adds support for the RF-Mount Cinema Lens: CN7x17 KAS T/R1
- Support for Magnification chromatic aberration correction.

Hello


i would like to know how i can check the shutter count number on that camera ?


i have tried with "CanonEosDigitalInfo_v1.4_SDK_v2.14" and don't work, with FreeShutterCount and don't work and even with gPhoto2 on ubuntu but don't work.


i have tried to use that website: https://www.camerashuttercount.com/ but still don't work because say that in the exif is not indicated !


how i can do that ?

Been exploring crop sensors for a bit now and only recently, I decided to give a try on the older Efs15-85 having realized that I didn't use so much the reach part of my 18-135.

And I wanted to try out this 15-18mm range to get an idea of what it would look like with a more traditional 24mm on a full frame camera.

In my use case, I was a bit surprised at how wide 15mm actually is and that it almost nullified the need for a dedicated UWA lens.

I ended up thinking about why it was the only lens on Canon crop systems to achieve that 15mm at the wide end, a field of view that seemed really like a staple to me on full frame cameras.

Attempting to look up a bit, I discovered that there actually were a lot of 28mm-X on older EF lenses through the ages. I would not have bet on it given the number of 24-X zooms on mirrorless systems and the compromises around the development of a recent 28-70mm to achieve a better aperture.

I was curious to ask here to some much more well versed in optics history what made this 24mm range something that normal on full frame in recent times but didn't on crops sensors

All thoughts appreciated

We're not big fans of "zero-day" camera or lens reviews, or really any review of significant cameras or lenses that come out within a month of release. There aren't may publications or reviewers out there that take their time with a product for reasons that one could consider obvious.
