That is correct. Ran it on 8k raw no problem. The V+ gets hot to the touch but not too hot to handle.Thanks, much appreciated. And this is on the V+?

Actually, that ain't what I am saying. Your interpretation is poor. You keep dreaming about that pure stills Canon. Ain't gonna happen... Ever. If you think stills photographers are being ignored, then you have not held a modern digital camera in your cotton pickin' life. Just plain ignorant.This is such a poor analogy. What you are saying is that more than half of the Ford buyers out there are still buying/wanting the Model T then.
Honestly stills photography isn't go anywhere and Canon has produced some great new technology for it's users but it does seem like they ignore stills photographers with these firmware updates. How about they improve the auto focus system and tracking with a firmware update for the R5 & R6. How about giving us the option to select different frame rates in electronic shutter mode.
I and many others rather a stills camera without all the video fluff that is refined, fast and has a large megapixel count.
It's about as likely as a smartphone built in 2021 with a camera that can take photos but not videosActually, that ain't what I am saying. Your interpretation is poor.

You don't have to, you just stop checking to see if i.S. is switched off on your lens!How can you force the problem to test it ?
To bad they are not able to do it in software. Guess it’s a design limitation. Have to stick with the iPhone thenOnly cameras with the Digic X processor can support that (R6, R5, R3, 1DX III).
I had no issues with the upgrade, I did read of one user running into an issue but take 3rd hand knowledge for what it is worth.Anyone having an issue with the 1.4 R5 firmware? I have a shoot tomorrow and I want the IBIS fix but am afraid to take out my R5 as I hate shooting with my R backup body. (I know first world problems)
I'm going to take off my vertical grip and try they update as you suggest. A good tip for everyone on using canon batteries. I only ever use OEM from B&H for batteries as any cost saving is not worth a battery-related issue.I had no issues with the upgrade, I did read of one user running into an issue but take 3rd hand knowledge for what it is worth.
Best advice:
If you are still unsure about doing the upgrade prior to an event wait.
- Format the card you are using to update in the Camera.
- Using a card reader copy the firmware to the card.
- Remove any attached lens before doing the upgrade.
- Make sure to have a full Canon official battery.
- Be patient - the upgrade takes a bit.
And your point is what? That there should have been a (stills related) firmware fix for the above in the current release - that being what this thread is about? It's not one I've even heard mentioned before.There are some seriously NASTY people on this thread who are showing their utmost contempt for people who use a camera differently than they do.
They should be ashamed.
For stills photography the R5 is a step forward and a step backwards. Extremely good images. For me personally the handling characteristics are horrible.
I've owned a 60D, a 70D, a 5D MIII, and a 5D MIV prior to the R5 and it's as though Canon tossed half of their playbook on how to let people who have muscle memory continue to use their new product in a manner to which they are accustomed.
It would be equivalent to living a lifetime driving on one side of the road and the next day you have to drive on the other side of the road. Everything is very familiar but it's all different. Plenty of people, like myself would have problems coping with that.
Honestly if I had known that while in the "Info" screen that if I press the shutter half way my R5 does not go back a shooting state I probably would have never purchased the R5 and just stuck with my 5D MIV. At least the 5D MIV works exactly like all the other Canon cameras I have ever owned.
If you cannot comprehend that handling characteristics such as the one I just described, are incredibly relevant then perhaps you would do well to just pass on over this comment in this thread.
I'll have respect for your needs when you have respect for mine.
Its a blast to finally be able to enjoy filming in 8K without having to bring oven mittens or portable cooling units. The V+ is solid and IMO the R5 8K looks amazing. Last night I put in a 2TB mini and just let the record times roll. I went well over an hour, and still had 58 minutes left on the 2TB before calling it a night. I completely replaced all my thick coil HDMI cables i bought for my DJI RS2 with HyperTHINS and was skeptical at first, but they worked out great. They stay solidly connected and I did not have any drop in signal.
I second the "Takes a bit", mine spent a looooong time on '0%', more than one cup of coffee worth of time.I had no issues with the upgrade, I did read of one user running into an issue but take 3rd hand knowledge for what it is worth.

The possibility to run 120fps on the somewhat pricey V+ is a dealbreaker for me, not having to switch to internal recording with slightly different codec and things that coming with shifting medium all the time. Would very much appreciate an update on what they say
I opened a support case with the Atomos folks to get their take on using 4K 120fps. I saw some tricks on how to do it on the V, but wanted to get an official response for the v+
What does it lack that you'd want them to add?
yeah no. there is a setting for it and it used to do it until i upgraded the firmware.It never has, on the R5 or R6. It closes at power off, and considering that Canon specifically advises against changing lenses while the camera is powered on, they likely would not add such a "feature."
