Does photography have good autofocus? R5ii or r5c photo and video purpose could you please suggest?

9:06 For 20mp canon r6, image sharpness is good until f/10 & significant loss of sharpness at f/16. Does this only happen when the diffraction correction is on? Or is it a built in feature of the camera?

Always well explained and much appreciated!

Thanks for the great video Any thoughts about CameraFoundry’ s CinéBack kit add on?

Nice tutorial and info!! Learned a lot!

how do i get led lights to stop flickering in my slow motion, i have tried everything except micro adjustments of shutter speed but i need to look into how to do that

Is there another video to continue this segment? Great video btw

Apart from the S.S.C lens, did you have an issue with manually adjusting aperture for these nfd lenses when attached to your chosen adapter? I have a 28mm f2.8 and, unless I manually change the locking pin of the back of lens to manual aperture, I have an aperture stuck at around 5.6 and cannot be altered. When I found that I was able to change the lens to allow me to manual adjust aperture it then no longer allows me to attach to my chosen adapter (K+F FD to FX). Does this issue sound familiar to you, did you have a similar problem? have you dealt with anything like this with your adapter and FD lenses? Thanks!

IS DR-E6P also can enable R5C with fully function now?

HELLO, I HAVE A SITUATION, I VE JUST BOUGHT THE R5 C AND I CAN NOT FIND THE 2 TOUCH CREEN MENUS DO YOU KNOW WHY ?

Legit video, thanks!

Comprehensive, but I would like you to give us your considerate view as to your preference e.g. 1st and 2nd choice!

With the R1 it's about getting back to basics: How about real time zebras in photo mode??? Customization options that are not bizarre in their implementation and restrictions??? With my R1 it is like 90% of the camera is from the year 2050 and the other 10% is from 1999.

Wauw, this was good! You are right about these "too many places/ways" to set things up, and they might look a lille different! The more thoughts, the better a video like is! Thanks for your info! Jan, DK

Awesome; thanks.

Late to the party... lol - Have you noticed that the R5C does not acknowledge the USB PD mode when the camera is turned off and then on (sometimes) and you have to remove and reinsert the USB-C cable?

So what about Canon's 5R mark II? I don't see it for HDR anymore as in the R5.

Thank you. Another great video. Wondering though if you own both the original R5 and new R5 Mark II with the many differences is it worth upgrading the R5 to get consistent behavior for both systems if you can afford it? Take care.

Two questions, 1. If I have the shooting mode on fully auto at 24p, does the camera know to keep it in 1/50? 2. Is there a way for me to see what settings the camera is choosing when I am not in Manual?

Thank you. These videos are very helpful to a new EOS R5 Mark II owner like me even though I’ve owned every 5Dx body, R body and R5 body now. Just can’t wait to find the other future videos you are talking about making. Take care.

Remains the Best channel for the Canon R series! I learn so much

Thank you. The best explanation I have seen on Canon AF in newer Canon R-series cameras. I have R6mkII and R7.

Thank you for this video

Dam. I just wanted to know if I could power the camera off a v-lock usb port

I was using a GPS tracker, Solmeta, which attached to the R6 hotshoe and constantly supplied location data to the images until one day connector on the tracker broke. Good thing the camera hotshoe is made from stronger stuff. Remembering the Camera Connect app, I installed it on an old android smartphone I was not using any more. After some frustrating time getting the two to talk, I finally got it working. Had to remember to turn off the power saving feature on the phone or it would shut down the app after a period of time, usually just before I would take the next image. I also wonder what or who is Canon protecting by not including a GPS module? With today's passion for geolocating, it would seem to be a major plus for any camera that can do it internally. Now I have the hassle of maintaining two separate systems in the field just to know where an image was made.

Great info, very informative!

Thanks Jason for your overview of the R5 Mark II AF changes (but I think that I'll have to watch it again to absorb all the details🙂). Given your experience with both the Mark I and Mark II R5 models, do the autofocus improvements in the Mark II really make a difference for typical real world use?

My teleconverter looks great in the field I’m always praising this feature. In real world situations, I’m blown away by the teleconverter at 3x.

wrong language in title!!!!!

Awesome, thanks!

For me personally, I agree with the comments stated by the other photographers. I really, really, don't ever want to go back to a camera that did not have eye control focus. That being said, could I? Sure....but it would be painful.

Thanks. Very helpful.

you know what would be great, I cannot for the life of me, find a video on the picture settings and how they affect video. Settings such as "Knee" "black gamma" etc in the custom picture profiles in cine. Id love an in depth video on all these settings.

I believe you may be ignoring the transfer function from video to display which scales output and enables theoretically infinite dynamic range albeit with only roughly 6 stops worth of gradation. once we surpass the '6 stops of dynamic range' of an 8 bit rec 709 video file we are essentially reducing the bitrate but increasing the dynamic range beyond the 6 stops. if we can capture 8 bit full range that bitrate (8 bit) stays constant up until roughly 10 stops of dynamic range at which point it starts to break down and banding is introduced.... with dither/film grain (as is seen in much cinema) the effective (perceptually smooth) dynamic range can be increased reasonably far beyond the theoretical limitations of an 8 bit files dynamic range.

A great video. I like how you walk through this topic and others in such straight forward manner. Thank you and take care.

Thank you. Really is the start of information I’ve been hunting for since I added the R5 II to my original R5. Also looking for information on how the focus/tracking boxes are generated or single and servo modes. Subscribed now and looking for more info. Take care.

Think of three axes. X and y are horizontal and vertical, z is distance. SERVO focus is simply continuous z-axis autofocus. TRACKING is x,y subject following. So: Single-shot doesn’t servo or track. Servo focuses with z-axis changes. Tracking follows x,y changes. The locked area options RETAIN SERVO but DEACTIVATE TRACKING.

HI Brilliant in detail information , i just wanted my lens to manual focus override but it just wouldn't work , Even though I'm using a 70 200f4 rf it just doesn't work that way if i use the back button it dose so annoying unless I'm missing something. Out in the field i kept wondering what i was doing wrong . thank you so must its a start in the right direction

Your channel is the ONLY resource we use to learn the fine points to using our R series cameras. Thank you.

Thank you, exactly the information I was looking for much appreciated for putting the hard work in for us

Thank you so much

I was in a weird pinch, out of the ordinary, and your video helped me! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

All of this should take less than 5 mins to describe and demonstrate. But you don't.

For those who don’t know, “Netflix Approved” is only for productions commissioned by Netflix. You can shoot on anything and still submit to Netflix. If Netflix hired you to produce something, they’d want you to use the list. However, that’s still not a hard and fast rule. “Netflix Approved” is mostly a marketing tactic for brands.

Wait so you cannot get it to show up like an external drive like you can on Sony?

It is an interesting way to gain 1 more stop of DR, but like you said, bracketing your images would result in greater DR overall. I will give this a shot but I suspect I will fall back on bracketing as it gives me far more control. One tip for preventing blown out highlights is to shoot with your histogram set to RGB vs. Brightness. Sometimes its a single channel that blows out more than the others and the standard "brightness" histogram will only average out those pixels causing many to discover blown out highlights even when the histogram showed no signs of them. I have also found when shooting a scene like you mentioned with very bright spots in the frame its best to use the "large" histogram option on the R5 as the "small" option can obscure small readings on the histogram do to lack of resolution on the EVF or backscreen. More often than not. By lowerigg your exposure to make sure not a single pixel os blown out, a second bracketed shot is required with at least 2-3 stops of exposure adjustment. Making DP RAW a less desirable alternative. Im glad you have found a use for it however and thank you for sharing your workflow.

I have this lens on a speed booster. It's okay, but it's slow at focusing compared to my modern lenses. It also misses sometimes. Great image quality and colour though.

Dude I need a video for your video. 😅

its so stupid that canon wont just rotate the image as the camera rotates. my sony does this easily and effortlessly. the restrictions are so mind boggling bc they serve no purpose but to annoy the user.
