I tried to change the subject to focus on, change from animals to people,
however, it was blocked. The only thing I could do was to reset to
factory settings.

Is there a possibility to record this non-functioning issue
and to share this with Canon?

Looking forward to any contribution.

Kind regards,

I'm trying to configure an R1 to talk to the EOS Utility on my computer. I can't seem to get anything going with the RJ-45 port despite following directions in the Advanced User Guide. The camera software thinks everything is working, and the network light flashes appropriately, but when I get to the stage of starting the EOS Utility software, the camera doesn't see it. Also, my router doesn't add the camera to the LAN active device list--the MAC Address shows up but it is shown as inactive. I tried changing network ports, resetting the camera's network settings, and still can't connect.

Is it a problem with a bad RJ-45? Has anyone else connected to EOS Utility via a wired LAN? Did the Advanced User Guide instructions work for you?

How do we change this? Did the option to define/change this disappear? I clicked around the profile settings for a few minutes and could not find a way to actually change this at present.

Canon has announced the Canon Powershot V1 in the quietest announcement ever. I think everything we told you was accurate, and here are the details as we know them right now.

I’ve always thought that my camera is supposed to heat up only in video mode. However, tonight, I saw the temperature indicator while only shooting in Photo mode. That was for the first time.

As weird as it may sound, I just bought the video grip with the fans for cooling. Actually I haven’t used it before - just tested it.



Did any review have had this experience in Photo mode?

To be honest the temperature indicator didn’t raised.

I have seen in video mode how my camera gets high temperature.

In this patent application (2025-023282), Canon is looking to make the power zoom motors much smaller for future lenses. Canon is exploring using 1, 2, or even more voice coil motors to move the elements necessary to zoom the lens.

In this patent application (2025-023325), Canon is demonstrating some advanced primes with IS. We already know that Canon has come out with the Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM, this isn’t the same element design, but a new one from Canon. Considering that this patent application has an application date of December 9, 2024 – this is a new design that Canon is considering for future lenses. Could we see a Canon series of f/1.8L IS USM primes from 85 to 150? I’m not sure there is a market for a series of L lenses in this focal range, but Canon knows better than I do.

It looks like the 5-year new product hiatus for ZEISS is coming to an end. ZEISS has posted a teaser of an announcement coming on February 25, 2025. All signs point to new OTUS lenses for mirrorless cameras coming.

Hi

how can i enable focus sound on canon 2000d ?

i.imgur.com/CFDyrUb.jpeg

is this beep another function ?

Update: The camera was replaced by a new one by the store today, no problems with the new one =)!
The old was sent to canon as a DOA.

Hello
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I finally got my R5 II and the joy might be cut short with a possible DOA body. When eye controlled autofocus is on (calibrated and not calibrated) while looking in the viewfinder, the viewfinder shuts off for a split second and I see the lcd lighting up shortly and then the viewfinder comes back on. This happens multiple times and keeps happening. I tried with both my eyes and in different positions, far away, close and at different angles. It also does it while watching back a recorded movie or photo. Its only when eye control is on.
I tried resetting the camera, but the error is still there. I experimented with different viewfinder settings, smooth and power save on and off. Also tried another battery, and changing the auto switching, ofcourse when having only the viewfinder chosen, the problem also goes away.

Have anyone else had this issue?
Sounds like the eye control focus is triggering something that makes the viewfinder switch to the screen.

I will try the demo camera in the store tomorrow to see if the error is also on that one, maybe try loading my settings on to it.

Thank you

These are very interesting to me. The interchangeable mounts are bound to be of interest to someone.

I've often wondered how the look would change using a Cinema lens for photos.

Looking to purchase a tripod. After some extensive research on brands such as RRS, Gitzo, and ProMediaGear, I decided on RRS for two reasons.

1. I have their MC-34 monopod, and I'm very happy with it.
2. Their design looks the best imho.

However, I am still trying to decide between the Ascend-14L and the TFC-24L. Currently leaning more towards the Ascend.

• Ascend-14L Advantage: reversible column for ground-level shooting, smaller, marginally lighter.
• Ascend-14L Disadvantage: 30 lbs max weight (compared to 70 lbs).

Many say that RRS is conservative with their max weight rating. I also figured that regardless, 30 lbs is still more than enough for a body + 600mm f/4 + gimbal head setup which totals to just over 12 lbs. Is there something I'm missing here?

Primary use cases that I can think of: travel, landscape, wildlife (with 400mm/600mm).

If anyone has any advice at all, I'd really appreciate it!

The Canon PowerShot V1 has been written about a lot recently and we figured we’d put all of the information we have in one place. There is some new information about the upcoming camera.

Zeiss posted a teaser on Instagram yesterday showing an image taken with a Zeiss 85mm F1.4 lens. While that is not that newsworthy on their own, they certainly did tease that Zeiss was coming out with something soon.

BCN is a top retail sales data aggregation company for the Japanese market. It gives us an excellent idea of what and who sells in Japan. I would imagine that BCN, outside of China's sales data, probably drives a lot of what Japanese companies do regarding products.

Is it me, or is it considerably lighter/softer than the R5? I don't have mine anymore to compare side by side, but after getting out to shoot a bunch today I felt like the shutter button is too light, and needs more definition for a full press vs. half.

As always, most imaging companies will make announcements ahead of the CP+ show in Japan, which begins later this month. We have already seen announcements from OM Systems and Nikon, with the latter having another round. Sony is expected to announce some new lenses and Panasonic won't be left out.

The race car and the pickle jar are now in hand:



Now comes the fun of config, controls, etc. I'll pepper this thread with questions in the days ahead.

First: when shooting JPG + RAW, what sort of onboard hocus pocus will cook/modify my JPGs and/or my RAW files?
(less concerned about 'if this feature is on, X must be off, your fps drops or a shutter mode must be Y' -- more concerned about things that permanently alter files, drop RAW bit rate, etc.)

Auto Lighting Optimizer
Anti-Flicker Mode
Highlight Tone Priority
High ISO NR
Lens aberation corrections: corner illumination, distortion, DLO, etc.

Some of this I once knew with my 5D3 and have forgotten over the years. In other cases the R5 might have changed the value proposition of one of these features in a way I am not aware of. And some things done onboard are kinda faff and I'd just as soon manage them in post.

So lay it on me, team. I'm all ears. Thx!

Hey all, one of the items I need to replace as I migrate to the R5 Mark II is my L-plate. I've shot my landscapes with an Arca Z1 monoball for ages and have relied on the RRS L-plates to do that job for me. They're a bit pricey, but they've ticked all my boxes so far.

My requirements list isn't revolutionary:

• Stills usage only (no need for the top handle, a cage, etc.)
• Not gripped
• Horizontal or vertical shooting position option
• Generally not fond of modular L-Plates with separate bottom / side pieces that require assembly, could come loose, etc.
• Doesn't dramatically increase the size of the camera if I quickly want to pack the body away with the L-Plate still attached
• Must retain access to all ports, priority on cable shutter attachment not being a pain
• No need for dedicated power, a gimbal, video use, etc.
• In rare tripod + handheld walking/hiking days, having another 1/4-20 hole to directly attach my blackrapid strap to it is a nice feature. (I'm fine not using a camera strap for most landscape sessions, but sometimes I park my setup, detach my camera and go on a walkabout looking for a new shooting position.)

While I wait for those RRS plates to come out for the R5 Mark II (still listed as 'coming soon'), are their others I should have a look at?

Thx,
A

Yodobashi Camera has posted its sales summary for the second half of January, and the EOS R1 has resumed its rightful placement on top of the leaderboard.

It's incredible what twenty-four megapickles can do.

Pulling the trigger on the R5 Mark II shortly. Geeked!

Question: I'm building a new comp in parallel with this, and it will have Pcie 4.0 USB capability. I'm not seeing 'known/trusted' brands on Pcie 4 rated CFExpress B cards (for the size I plan to buy). So I have a choice of a (say) Lexar Gold at Pcie 3 or a (relative) no-name / never heard of them offering pcie 4 transfer speds.

Curious what you'd all rather have: Pcie 4 transfer speeds when you get back to the house, or a reliable Pcie 3 card that will hit its reported transfer rates when shooting?

Thx

I have successfully set up Custom setting 1, C1 for certain photography type and I can recall it and use it without any issue.
Then I set up Custom Setting 3, C3 for another type and it is registered properly but I can not recall it when I try to select it, it is grayed out.
Actually both C2 & C3 are grayed out and cannot be selected.
Auto update Settings option is Enabled.
I couldn't find anything on the net about this. Any idea what's wrong?
In the picture, you can't really see the difference but C2 & C3 are grayed out and can not be selected!?!

Part A:
So, anyone else have this combo and loving it like I am? The range covered while not compromising aperture vs physical space is wonderful IMO. I just got the RF 100-300 and have had the 24-105/2.8 Z for a bit and love the internal zoom.

(internal vs not = Totally another topic for debate which I am not at all interested in having LOL)

Add tele ext and you have a killer two lens backpacking set up for low light and landscapes to birds even. Although in my experience 600 will be a bit wide for small birds most of the time but backpacking for days isn't usually a "birding" tour either. One could step it up and also carry a 3rd lens into the 800's range. I'd want to carry a Nikon Z8 and the 600mm/4 TC LOL.

Hi - Does anyone know of any 3rd party batteries that work with the Canon R1. I have 2 originals which is normally enough, but I have tried the 3rd party ones I have that work with my R3 but they don't work on the R1, does anyone have any ideas or recommendations please - cheers Hieth
