I have added that change into the custom menu. Probably a step too far to add it as an option to an assignable button
I did exactly the same

I don't agree, i prefer to have aperture open for focussing , and stopping down only for actual exposure.Like a DSLR. In fact that was my main reason to switch back from Sony, that works with stopped down focussing. I never felt confident where I was actually focussing when using smaller apertures. And no, depth of field won't fix that..I think thats what he meant.
And I agree - in studio light it would be very usefull if I could lock the aperture to the actual aperture I dialed in =)
Thanks, aeronium, for your post!Your best bet would be to email Canon Japan via their website directly.
I had to use google translate and simpler english so it doesn't get lost in translation.
It seems Canon Japan is more "connected" with their engineers.
A few months back I contacted them with feedback regarding the overheating issue. And they actually told me that they'll get back to me 2 weeks later. Which was the very date the firmware that improved overheat times was released.
They also say that they'll pass on all feedback to their engineering team. I'm not sure if Canon USA does that.
select R5 then select Support. Fill in the email address information and then add your comment in the proper place. You will get an automated receipt and then a response normally within 24 hours. And may I ask you to include the need for "Save and restore settings to card" option?Unfortunately I do not know where I can 'flood' Canon with wishes. Maybe someone gives me a tip? I am CPS Platinum Customer btw.
What? I haven’t used an R5, yet, but that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. At least give the option to choose which way you want it to work.
Yes. As a wildlife photographer I find the joystick useless - the R wheel was much better because it could be customised. More buttons were customisable as well.– more customizable buttons. The R6 is worse than my R
Or at least make it possible to change the parameters with the joystick (up-aperture, down-reset aperture, left-shutter speed, .., middle button reset all, back dial: iso, control ring: exposure compensation)
Any upcoming firmware updates for the 1Dx Mark III?
Yes, true, focusing and noise free preview is better with open Aperture.I don't agree, i prefer to have aperture open for focussing , and stopping down only for actual exposure.Like a DSLR.

But it should be possible to just switch between OPEN and ACTUAL apurture
The image changes noteable with closed down aperture. Not only DOF, its als chromatic aberation, vignetting, overall brightness and color shifts. Simple a option like "hold down aperture preview button too keep aperture closed down" would fix this =)
Perhaps our « Canon rumors guy » can do it for usYes, what's the most effective way to 'flood' Canon with our firmware feature requests? I, too, am platinum CPS member, if that helps at all.
compared with my 5d4, it seems like auto focus on the R5 continues for much longer after the shot. when i bring the R5 down off the target to review the photos, i get to hear auto focus slewing my lens to get my feet in focus. might be nice to have a natural way to get autofocus to stop after shooting is done.
