Firmware: Canon EOS R5 v1.6.0 now available
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Video shooters must be wondering why the hell it's taken so long for Canon to add [Auto Power Off Temp.: Standard/High] to the menu for movie recording...
... and as a stills shooter I'm left wondering why the hell Canon hasn't sorted out:
a) the freezes and lockups that many users experience.
b) the option to shoot bracketed exposures with electronic shutter.
c) ability to shoot at burst speeds slower than 20fps with electronic shutter.

I'll start by saying that I don't do video clips more than 30-60 seconds very often with my R5. But based solely on principle, it infuriates me that they left the 30-minute time limit after this firmware update. It's one thing to have a company stance so that you don't cannibalize your cinema cameras, but they have crossed that barrier with the R7. So my R5 which is higher end and over twice the cost has to have this artificial limitation but a lower end does not?!?! Anti-consumer software limitations make me want to kick people in bad places. *Deep breath in........and out*. Okay I'm better now.

The waranty has expired. Motherboard damage due to setting placed in "High" will not be repaired for free if when flashing memery its discovered that the user had this setting

If the R7 doesn't have it, then maybe it is not about "cannibalizing cinema cameras", but something else.
What I don't understand is, you shoot 30-60sec and it infuriates you. I shoot 3hour concerts and rehearsals and it doesn't bother me.
It would be great if they remove it, but that is at position 100 in my wish list of what to improve my camera.

This is a fairly well known/common issue with canon's IBIS implementation when shooting video. When using wide angle lenses, the image captured near the edge of the frame will often move around as the IBIS compensates. Gives the recorded clip a jelly/wobble/warp look. Folks have been asking for a less aggressive IBIS (or the ability to turn off IBIS but retain lens IS) since launch.

If you want that effect to go away, then shoot in crop mode (the 4k is very good). The problem is caused by the fact that the lens has distortion near the edges so when the IBIS moves the sensor, the distortion changes and the distortion correction is just not smart enough to compensate. The other alternative if you want the full wide angle of view is to turn off IS altogether and shoot with a gimbal. Note that just turning off IBIS (if you could) would potentially reduce the problem, but not eliminate it and it would also reduce the amount of stabilization available. Bottom line, what works great for stills doesn't always work well for video and that is why Cine lenses are so much more expensive than still lenses in spite of the fact that they are often less sharp.

This is easy, most of the Canon R5s that were purchased early on, and possibly count for a majority of the ones in the wild are now past their manufacturer warranty. If the camera torches itself at this point, they won't be responsible for fixing many of them free of charge. Now they can try and get a 2nd surge of income from charging to fix peoples cameras.
