Has anyone done an AF test actually taking the photos and reviewing them on a larger screen? (old vs new firmware)?

Eye-AF? It works great.Has anyone done an AF test actually taking the photos and reviewing them on a larger screen? (old vs new firmware)?
the cat was yelling at me to go feed him at 2:20 in the morning so I snapped a couple shots of him. lol
Good to know. I got an R and over the last few months have grown to use it over my 5d4 almost all the time.I live in the great PNW, and we know rain.
My R has been out in the rain on several occasions, out taking photo's during the record snow fall we had earlier this year, and a couple trips to the ocean beaches of Kauai taking photo's in the surf. Splashes and outright soakings have taken place and I've not had a single issue. Its not bee completely submerged, but the R and the 24-105 lens has gotten quite wet. Nary an issue.
There probably is a single fatal point of entry on the camera that can cause big issues, but knock on that wood, I've not found it yet. I did purchase a hot shoe slip in cover but other than that, she is bare. I don't go looking to get it wet on purpose, and I keep the camera as dry as possible when not in use, but I don't hide it under my jacket if I need to take a shot. Perhaps Lens Rentals got a bad sample.. I dunno, but there are a couple other video's showing the R handle a pretty good soaking for extended periods of time and it didn't have any issues.
If I plan on really getting out into a soaker, the Oly EM1 MKI is a trooper and laughs at the rain.
Scyrene, are macro rails the same as a bellows? I have 1 Mamiya Macro Sekor 60mm f/2.8 lens and a Pentax bellows, but have never used the bellows.
Well, technically it is focus bracketing.I dunno what would happen if you shot a series of images changing the extension of the bellows each time.
I need to try it out anyway. No sense having it if I don't use it now and then.Bellows are a way of increasing the magnification, they work a bit like extension tubes, but with greater flexibility. They're not much used nowadays as far as I know, I certainly never have. I dunno what would happen if you shot a series of images changing the extension of the bellows each time. Maybe worth an experiment!
Mine is single rail with measurements out to 13mm and very fine adjustment. On the other side it shows the magnification from x0.6 to x2.2. All this is printed on the rail. It is single rail, but does have a hole for a tripod mount. Old M42 screw mount. It was New/Old stock when I bought it a year ago. Maybe try it out on a coin or something today. Thanks for the info! I'll have to look for an online about choosing an f/stop. I'm thinking f/2.8 is probably out of the question. Maybe f/8 or f/11 like the landscape photographers?Some bellows designs have two sets of rails. The upper ones are the lens and camera standards and move to set focus distance. The bottom set of rails have another movement, usually mounted to the tripod, which also can be moved back and forth while maintaining magnification but allowing a different focus point. A design of this nature would allow focus bracketing.
I have to disagree, if I have a lens like the RF 50mm 1.2, there will be occasions that I would want to shoot it at 1.2/1.4/1.8 and not 7 (that is why I paid for it), previously, to nail the eye, you had to take headshots as with a medium distance it would only do face tracking and it was super slow.
Checking the results on camera or with the evf will not tell you if it is perfectly in focus, for that you have to shoot tethered and depending on the location you may not have that option I have taken thousands of shots with the EOS R and I can tell you that on super bright apertures, the face tracking sucks and I had to rely 99% on single point af.
I know I really like the improvement in touch’n drag also!Finally got time to install (after doing 1.3.0 first which I hadn't bothered to before now and you don't get to skip it ...) - the touch & drag is a revelation! It was fiddly and ordinary when I tried it late last year and I haven't been there since.

I didn't get an error message, but it just didn't seem to work, so I updated 1.3.0 and then it did! The onscreen instructions also seem to say that you should do the earlier update first, but I suspect that is because you won't automatically get the 1.3.0 code if you don't do the actual update in sequence. In a Windows update, you seem to be able to 'skip' an individual update, and it will update cumulatively (albeit with potentially multiple restarts). I don't think the Canon updates work that way.I know I really like the improvement in touch’n drag also!
You said you HAD to update to 1.3.0 first? I didn’t do that and it worked great. Did you get an error message?
Eos R is already weather resistantthis. weather resistant please. USD 3800. here is my card.
