I used my new R6 for a serious photoshoot in the studio with a live model yesterday. I'm pretty impressed with the images. The 20 megapixel sensor is going to be plenty for my work and I can already tell my computer processes the images (Lightroom) faster than those from my 5D4.
I noticed one funny thing.... I had the model posed in front of a traditional mottled gray/white studio backdrop. The eye detection system kept finding what it thought were eyes or faces in the mottled pattern while ignoring the model. I do need to figure out how to tell the servo eye/face detect system where to look when it starts up. Once it locks on, it seems to be fine. I guess I could also switch out the mottled backdrop for a solid one.
One thing did seem pretty annoying. When I would bring the camera up to my eye, the viewfinder showed me the previous photo rather than the live action. I have no need to see the previous photo in the viewfinder, that's what the rear screen is for. I could not immediately find the setting to change that. Does anyone know where to find that in the menu system?
Thanks!
