Fine Aperture Adjustments - EOS R5 Tip 64 / EOS R5C Tip 9

[@BertOliva]

Jason, I’m loving the series that you put together for the R5C. Your videos are extremely useful and interesting. Looking forward to more R5C Content.

So nice! I love it

I appreciate your opinion. Thanks for the video.

Hey Jason, thank you for your ever so eloquent explanations . Do you have any updates concerning the possibility of 1/8 increment stops on EF lenses. I am thinking of buying the control ring EF-RF adapter for my canon R7. I have found myself using the 1/8 increments in some situations and want to be able to do the same with my EF lenses. Best regards Lars

I haven't seen anything that suggests that Canon is going to expand the fine aperture to EF lenses on the R series cameras. Which is frustrating since EF lenses do 1/8 stops internally, and the can be adjusted in 1/8 stop increments on the cinema cameras. It would be nice if they did.

[@postabsorptiv]

@@PointsInFocus thank you for your answer Jason. I think I’ve read somewhere that you can get the adapter controlring serviced to do 1/8 stops with EF lenses. Nevertheless, I cannot seem to find the source for this information again. Maybe it was just wishful thinking 🤔

[@PointsInFocus]

I have the control ring adapter, and my R5 doesn't do 1/8 stop increments with any of my EF lenses. It might be that it only works with some lenses, but it doesn't work with any of mine.

I just got an RF lens and I'm wondering if I have stabilization on the lens turned on I am all set. When I access the stabilization menu it does not offer me a selection. I'm guessing that's because the switch is on the lens itself

[@PointsInFocus]

If the switch on the lens is on, then stabilization is on. The only menu options will be for digital IS on top of the optical system. It's only when the lens doesn't have an IS switch, such as is the case on most of the RF-S crop format lenses, that there will be an menu setting to control optical IS.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@@PointsInFocus excellent I'm not sure if I should use both when I'm hand holding shots. My guess would be to leave both on in most situations.

[@PointsInFocus]

I try to avoid using digital IS as much as possible. I'll use it if I need to, but it's not any different to using a stabilizer in post. Your image is cropped, and zoomed when stabilized. Ideally, if I know I need more stabilization than I can get form the optical IS system, I'll want to use a gimbal or some other form of mechanical stabilization if I can. Of course, it's all a tool in the bag, and sometimes, it's the best too for the job. One thing to note, if we're talking about the R5C and not the R5, is that since the C doesn't have IBIS, there's no roll stabilization without going digital. On the R5, the IBIS will handle roll stabilization. (Oh ya, this is the other time IS on will show up in the menu on the R5, when the lens doesn't have an IS switch.)

@@PointsInFocus Yes I think the lenses will be more than enough. Not to mention for my slow motion I will be using the RS2. That is if I can fit it on there lol.
