So an ULTRA strange thing occurred yesterday while shooting a wedding. My typical technique for group photos has been to count down from 3 and then start shooting a sequence of 3-5 images at 1. This way I ensure I don’t get blinkers in my shots. LOL But anyway, now to my point. I performed this task yesterday like I normally would and -for whatever reason- I had the camera on auto ISO. I use auto ISO at weddings fairly often, but during a portrait session in controlled light, I probably shouldn’t have because there was no need. It does make things easier when I want to quickly change aperture on the fly without thinking.
That said, something extremely EXTREMELY odd happened while I was taking my shots. The longer I held the shutter button down, the darker my images became. Like...down by almost 2 stops. It appeared to lower the exposure by 1/3 of a stop per image or more. I had never seen this before at ALL...like, I’ve never experienced anything like this in the past. I wasn’t able to replicate it on ever image, but I could tell when it was happening in the viewfinder because the liveview preview would become darker. At that point I could have taken the camera out of auto ISO, but it wasn’t ruining the shots and I was determined to troubleshoot the situation.
Long story long, I couldn’t identify what was causing this to happen and I wanted to see if anyone else here might have experienced this and what the issue was. The R5 has never done this, but the R6 did. When I get home I’m going to spend a ton of time trying to identify what the cause of this is and I’ll report back. Until then, has anyone had this issue?
Lens used was the RF 24-70 f/2.8L.
