Hi All,
The R5II has a feature called pre-roll where the camera records 3 or 5 seconds of video to the buffer once the feature enabled. Once in video mode, pre-roll cannot be turned on and off. Once you set pre-roll on, it is on until you turn it off in the settings. This seems odd to me as it would wastes battery and potentially overheats the camera while waiting for a particular scene to develop. This is different from how pre-capture for stills is implemented where writing to the buffer begins with a half press of the shutter button. Canon must have had a reason for implementing pre-roll as they did. But I do not understand why. Does anyone have insight on this?
