New Firmware Coming Shortly for EOS 5D Mark IV? [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
The most talked-down-upon matter in the 5DIV is the 1.64x/1.76x crop in 4K mode. A FF 4K mode (even if lower quality, bixel-binned, line-skipped) would suddenly give this camera more sales, or/and less trolling effect.

Sheesh, what is wrong with you people? These "wishes" are about as realistic as wishing that Canon added a feature that allowed the camera to print you free money...

Please add:
1) full frame 4K video
2) focus peaking
3) an efficient video codec
4) unlimited button assignment
and I gladly send my 5D4 in if you install an articulating screen, an EVF and sensor stabilization.

Or the 30mp sensor is revealing camera shake or poor technique. Tripod it and compare results.

Had it on my 70-200 f/2.8 last weekend and was very happy with the sharpness. Most shotsfallsong said:
taken on a tripod using 2sec Timer, and live view. Mind you my tripod is not very good, so
I need the timer or a remote trigger to avoid most vibrations.
Yesterday evening with my 16-35 f/2.8 same setup, I was happy with the results.
First day playing around using the Camera in low light in my garden with my 100-400 I just got mush.

For all the naysayers , Canon HAS added significant new features after release, for free, in the past.
They added manual audio level control to the 5DII and changed the frame rates from 30 to 29.97 fps as requested by users. I believe they also added f/8 AF to some cameras after release.
I think it's quite possible that Canon will add a higher compression codec option for 4K because the file sizes are a big problem for non-critical 4K usage. Not likely this early, but they are at least thinking about it now I suspect.

RAW or JPEG? The Raw files in Lightroom are a bit sharper than the 6D, but I don't find the JPEGs are sharp as the 6D.

I would think many people would be looking for a resolution to the compatibility issues using Sigma lenses.

Yes... back to reality: leaving out DPAF for the C500. Amazing Canon... (C300 got it)
Giving for FREE over firmware a AUDIO meter LOL...
WHAT THE HECK PEOPLE TALKING HERE ABOUT???
Magiclatern is the ONLY acceptable firmware update and Canon updates are just a HUGE JOKE.

Yes they did and were quite clear about those releases being feature enhancements/additions this one is clearly just basic bug fixes.
Fwiw I actually do expect Canon to release a feature update.... in around two years time.

JPG. RAW is slightly noticeable, but not that much different. Pictures came out of my T3i with 55-250 and 50D with 17-85 are all sharper, believe it not.
I don't think it is due to defective camera and micro adjustment as somebody suggested. Still need more time to play around it before I can be sure on what happening. The AF is a steep learning curve for former 6D user, which could be one of the reasons. I will have a chance to test the 100-400 when the royal couple here tomorrow.
