I've watched other creators, and you are one of the few to show live (in the field and on the computer) examples to show off the new features and capabilities and I love it. Specs are specs, and until I get my preordered body I appreciate seeing with my own eyes some of the advancements. Thanks for sharing!

[@VanessaJoy]

My pleasure!! it’s definitely my goal when it comes to camera overviews to talk about the practical applications so you can see how it all really affect your life in your work, so I’m glad you see that!

[@jaegerschtulmann]

The high-iso SOC images might have de-noising baked in? the images particularly skin tones have this pasty quality to them (the denoise and upscale is a gimmick of course as software in post do a much better job). Anyways its a nice camera but very expensive compared to the Z8

[@VanessaJoy]

There is a way to adjust some of that in the SOOC images but I don’t think I had that feature turned on. Though in my experience this upscale and denoise did a better job than LR has done for me in the past BUT that would be a great side-by-side comparison to do. Go with whatever camera works best for you!

[@mkamelg]

I'm currently using R6 Mark II. New camera models certainly have many new hardware and software bells and whistles, but later you will have to process RAW files from these new camera models somewhere. Somewhere, that is, at least for the first few weeks under Digital Photo Professional (DPP). It's 2024 and we still don't have a smooth running version of DPP for ARM computers. Super fast hardware limited by super slow software. Personally, in addition to DPP, I also use DxO PhotoLab because it is the best at imitating DPP and runs smoothly on my Apple computer with an M1 processor, although I am not always satisfied with the effects of processing RAW files in this program and the way some of its options work.

[@n5sdm]

You are a treasure. Thank you for your efforts.

[@VanessaJoy]

So nice of you ❤️

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

Its nice that is has that noise reduction feature. But most people will do noise reduction in post. DXO PureRaw and DXO PhotoLab is the best export to DNG raw and then use any editor you want.

[@matthazlettfilms7569]

Probably the only one not asking a question about the camera. Can you tell me which lapel mic you are using to attach to your DJI mic? I had some that created a super loud buzz and yours sound great.

[@VanessaJoy]

It’s a rode lav mic - if you have a locking connector, they don’t seat well enough and that’s probably the problem. Order a straight connector without a threaded connector

[@mh7711]

very nice video, thanks! Can you do a video for the new eye focussing? How accurate and practical it is to use your eye to set the focus point? So far I used always the display touch to set focus points on my R5 with left thumb

[@VanessaJoy]

Great suggestion! There’s not much to you just go to calibrate in the menu and it has you look at different points on the view screen and you do it over and over holding the camera, both horizontally and vertically and different lighting conditions and it continually learns your eye

[@mh7711]

​so, you look on a subject and if you want to focus where you look you press the shutter button half down? and will there be a circle where you look or is it invisible? and how fast is it? is it lagging(latency) little bit? do you have to look slower so that the cam can react? my older Canon R for example is very slow in setting the focus point using the touch display, the R5 is much faster. ​@@VanessaJoy

[@VanessaJoy]

Correct, with a circle where your eye is looking, and it’s fast. No lag like the r3 had

Yes, anytime there’s a new camera the third-party software is like Lightroom and photo mechanic don’t have the information yet to fully read the file correctly. It’s only after the camera has been released those companies reverse engineer file in order to convert the best they can.

Yes you upscale or denoise the raw file and it spits out a jpg. With the boise reduction you can do it at the same time you edit other settings on the raw file, but the upscale I don’t believe you can do the same

Hi Vanessa, do you know the maximum flash speed sync? I am looking at Canon and BH website, and they don't say it. Is it still in 1/250? In any of the reviews, they mentioned it as well.

[@VanessaJoy]

So I truly don’t know the answer to that. I was last told 1/250th, but I was first told 1/320th electronic and 1/400th electronic in 1:6 crop. So I really don’t know!

[@diegopisante]

@@VanessaJoy Got it! Thank you, Vanessa. That was my hope that they raised it a little.

[@KoenKooi]

The manual is available now and it shows the R5II has a ‘sync speed priority’ option that boosts the sync speed when using first party flashes. That will get you the 1/320s in efcs, otherwise it’s a shocking 1/125s! ES is 1/160s normally and 1/200 using the speed priority option. According to the manual, we’ll have to see if that matches the production models when we get them next month.
