New feature firmware coming to the EOS R5, EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III in the next couple of weeks [CR3]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Only video... How about animal eye AF for the 1DXIII with the next firmware ???
C’mon man! You know you’re going to have to upgrade to the R1 to get that.

I’ll admit that this is the only rumored feature I’ve heard about that I would like to have. 1080 @ 120 sounds cool but I’m not a video guy at all so it would probably stay on the ‘unused features’ list for me.
I don’t mind chipping pics but it would be nice to be able to dial in whatever you like. I’m no rocket surgeon but it seems like it would be a feasible if not simple thing to do. What, aside from desire, would stop it?

You could be right. I have not heard of it, but I have not been keeping up with all the rumors either.

I'll be more happy if Canon will cancel the 30m limit for video. It's unnecessary and ridiculous !! And it's the easiest to solve !! I really can't understand Canon Who ignore the problem that so many Canon photographers suffer from .

Mostly my 4 dogs! Both portrait and action shots. I've just been trying to practice mostly in the backyard and at first thought it was just me. I even went and got glasses thinking my site was just going! As time and testing have gone on for the last few months it just seemed frustrating I was missing so many shots. As I started reading on the forums here and other sites I saw that I wasn't the only one experiencing such technical issues. Makes me feel somewhat sane again
I am still testing, just to eliminate the possibility that it is user error and there isn't some technique that I just haven't quite mastered yet.

I can tell you right now this is the issue:Mostly my 4 dogs! Both portrait and action shots. I've just been trying to practice mostly in the backyard and at first thought it was just me. I even went and got glasses thinking my site was just going! As time and testing have gone on for the last few months it just seemed frustrating I was missing so many shots.

Over time, if you keep using Servo AF with Animal Eye AF on a dog, even if the indicator (blue box) stays on the dogs eye, it will over time change to focusing on the nose. I was able to make this very obvious by using a RF 50mm f/1.2 as you can more easily see the area of sharpness move forward.
I would say for me it takes about 3-5 seconds to shift. I’ll upload a video today or this weekend and share when available.

I am hopeful they will enable HEVC encoding for regular 8-bit 4K video. I was really disappointed when I realized it was only for the 10-bit formats. It is a huge waste of space using H264 for anything, when the camera is capable of better compression.

1) R5 has more dynamic range than R6.
2) We only expect C-LOG 3 and not C-LOG 2.

Yes, sorry that is what I meant.
Thanks for the correction.
No.
Since 4K/120 is line skipped the data rate can't be compared with 8K at all.
There is little chance of 4K/120 RAW Lite.
Maybe that is possible for the R5c but that would make the C500 Mark II look bad.

Cool. Would certainly like to watch your breakdown on the issue. If similar I may need to do the same with my 85mm F1.2L USM lens so we can compare notes.

Dude! I watched the video and that's exactly what is happening. DRIFTING! I like it, but I really don't
I will say, in the second half of the video how close were you getting? It looks like maybe you were getting to close for the lense to focus. So possibly out of the focal distance range for that lens?

I think that explanation would make sense, except for the fact that the lens was front focusing on the nose, rather than focusing behind her eye. That would indicate the lens has the ability to focus closer than the focus box would need.Dude! I watched the video and that's exactly what is happening. DRIFTING! I like it, but I really don't
I intend to do more tests and update the thread on FM.

Actually, if Canon decides to have new compression/bitrate for videos, perhaps they could make dual card recording possible? Since it's smaller size now. Or even dual card recording for just 1080P I'd be more than happy.

I actually think that most folks here have it backward.
I am expecting less compression to avoid overheating.
There is no need to use HEVC on the CFExpress card except for 4K 120

Hi. I own a R5 but honestly I heard always the opposite. R6 has a slightly better dynamic range than the R5. What your statement is coming from? Do you have strong arguments to say that R5 is better than R6? I am intrigued.
