Didnt see it, that live view AF seems to be finally caught up with PDAF found on competition.I already posted this and the links too the RAW files.
The problem with a Hoodman is that you lose access to the touchscreen, which is one of the main advantages to live view.Indeed it does look good, and I had mulled the idea he used of a hoodman to use it as an effective MILC in Live View, I know it looks silly etc but I am having real issues converting to EVF's full time for pro work, I still find the lag distracting, the brightness odd, and looking through one for hours gives me motion sickness.
It’s bad enough seeing that face once.I already posted this and the links too the RAW files.
! A lot of theatrics (and I don't like this - as well as some other and more important things...). Anyway, there is no problem - I just learned not to click on the link...It’s bad enough seeing that face once.
My guess would be that it recognized the ball as a head with a helmet. Face AF detection should be really reliable, but the Head detection uses a Neural Network and is as good as the training data. Maybe it will see improvements over time once Canon gets more Input, like we saw with the EOS R.I love how the camera momentarily locks onto the basketball a couple of times. I wonder if it's seeing a face in there or if the deep learning neural net has learned to recognize balls as pertinent objects in their own category.
Why would Canon spend so much time and effort to get the LiveView Performance of a 1D X series body as great as possible? In previous versions, there straight up was no servo AF in LiveView, so clearly they don't think the target demographic craves good LiveView AF.After seeing this I'm debating how I'm going to keep my composure if the R5 doesn't AF this well! And then there is the, will there soon be an R1 that will be the true mirrorless of the 1Dx3, a little bigger and all the bells and whistles. And what if it doesn't have a CFe slot?
In case of R5, I suspect we will see mix of both SD and CFe slots rather than both CFe slots(if its prices in same range as 5D then certainly it wont 2 CFe). From the video its really interesting to see buffer clearing near instantly and best part of it being a Canon camera no lockouts during clearing process.After seeing this I'm debating how I'm going to keep my composure if the R5 doesn't AF this well!

As it is a sports camera, it can as well be trained to recognise the ball as a ball, especially near the basket.My guess would be that it recognized the ball as a head with a helmet.
It could be mostly reusing the same neural net that makes the OVF AF performance as great as possible.Why would Canon spend so much time and effort to get the LiveView Performance of a 1D X series body as great as possible?
I didn't read anything about recognizing objects like balls in the white paper though. That's why I'm not certain tracking the ball here is really a feature or a bug - but depending on who you ask, they might just be the sameAs it is a sports camera, it can as well be trained to recognise the ball as a ball, especially near the basket.

If you are using an EVF the only advantage to the rear screen being touch is if you can drag focus, the 1DX III doesn't need that capability on screen, and it would ba a stretch with a thumb anyway, because it has the new scrollable AF button.The problem with a Hoodman is that you lose access to the touchscreen, which is one of the main advantages to live view.
The point of my thread was the access to the first RAW files I know of.! A lot of theatrics (and I don't like this - as well as some other and more important things...). Anyway, there is no problem - I just learned not to click on the link...
The biggest difference I would expect between an R1 and R5 would be resolution.After seeing this I'm debating how I'm going to keep my composure if the R5 doesn't AF this well!

No, it will 'mistake' a ball for a 'head' shaped object, don't forget we know it was taught to look for heads with helmets on, I don't see how you could differentiate between a helmeted head sitting in an open cockpit and a basketball.I love how the camera momentarily locks onto the basketball a couple of times. I wonder if it's seeing a face in there or if the deep learning neural net has learned to recognize balls as pertinent objects in their own category.
Well, it would be great if there aren't many differences. I already love the second button arrangement (1Dx2) up front and the R5 has only one but at least it's one.The biggest difference I would expect between an R1 and R5 would be resolution.
I know some people who might as well have a basketball for a head (empty space full of air), so maybe the camera is that smart.No, it will 'mistake' a ball for a 'head' shaped object, don't forget we know it was taught to look for heads with helmets on, I don't see how you could differentiate between a helmeted head sitting in an open cockpit and a basketball.
