@@user-ll2jl1yg3t that’s an excellent question. I’m not sure what happens if you mix batteries in the grip I’ll have to test that and see, but I would imagine as long as you have one of the new batteries in the grip all should work fine more to come.

This is the real world and a wonderful wedding, and yes, I did share that I'm a Canon Explorer of Light!

@@thelookoflifefilms Thank you. I appreciate your feedback

@@WAPhoto It is the way the Ninja records the viewfinder. There is no blackout when looking through the EVF.

Rest assured, all images in this video are in focus! If you have any questions or concerns about what you're seeing, please feel free to reach out. I strive to maintain high standards and would never intentionally include subpar images.

@@ronnytky whatever works best for you is the right camera 📷

What i've seen and used to is that the R3 is not as sticky to AF and does loose AF when people turn its face away from the R3. The "1" cameras where always about "how to get THE shot right now, in situations where you cant control anything".

@ exactly, I could not agree ☑️ more.

@@Makta972 THANK YOU. If that is true, I was unaware that Olympus mirrorless cameras used cross-type focus. I will look further into this information. Canon was the first full-frame mirrorless camera to use a cross-type focus point.

@@mitchconn7712 Yes, I did have antiflicker active for the indoor events. Most venues use LED lights, which flicker. Antiflicker assists with the shutter speed syncing with the oscillation of the LED lights to capture them at their brightest lamination.

@ thank you. Have never used it before,

@@mitchconn7712 AWESOMENESS. You are going to love the R1 the autofocus is the best 🌟

@@joaquintrigueros That makes sense. Remember, the larger the file size, the more noise at “high” ISO. This is why the R1 has embraced the 24-megapixel file size.

@@CanonRumorsOfficial Indeed, the R1 is all that and a bag of chips!

Initial lock is key. It did take me one and a half year to understand the R3. 😅

@@CanonRumorsOfficial awesomeness

@@CanonUSA always!

@@CanonUSA I'm excited to see how we'll continue innovating, and I can’t wait to push the boundaries of my creativity to capture fantastic images in the future.

@@acemanNL the R1, but printing shows the quality of the image sensor

@@dfj555 thank you

@@contentm3893 That depends on your goal for the test. The right camera for the right job. Both are excellent choices, but only one is right for you.

Why were u not impressed with the R5 II?

@@richschmitt100 Canon lowered the data rates for the lower end 4K video to 250 Mbps and the 4k 120p video down to 350 Mbps compared to the R3 at 1080 Mbps at 4K 120p. The video is also linked skipped, so it was a combination of a few items that Canon seemed to compromise on. The R3 also has a slightly faster sensor readout. I honestly also felt like the R3 was more responsive for photography. Compared to the R5 the R5 II is a massive upgrade.

I have mates with the R3, and they cannot take the shots I have been taking with the precapture function on my R5mkii. The R5mkii focus is better than the R3. I guess if I wanted to shoot video seriously, I would buy a serious video camera, but the 8k60 looks fine to me.

@@nordic5490 The R5 II AF is not better than the R3. They tried to bring the R5 II up to the level of the R3 but it didn't surpass the R3. If it did it would be on the level of the R1 and it is not. The R5 II has a lower sensor response than the R3 and that's on measured results by Canon. Think about it. The R3 has a faster processor, faster sensor and line skipped video which sacrifices detail and lower data rate for all video except 4K fine and raw. You are trying ro connect pre capture with AF and they are not the same. Pre-capture just means you start shooting a little sooner which you can do with any camera. Again, you are confusing the marketing hype with reality. Everything you claim about the R5 II would make it just as good as the R1. The R1 is how much better than the R3? 10%, so you claim the R5 II has passed the R3 by 5% which means you are saying the R5 II is as good as the R1. The hardware and physics of the R5 II makes it impossible to be as good as the R1. The r3 was the flagship camera before the R1 and the R5 II is not a flag ship camera in 2024. As you use the R5 II to shoot birds you will see what it can do and can't do.

@@hawaiifreespeechnews Indeed, the lenses you use for life and the bodies get traded for advanced image sensors and technology. I LOVE the EF600mm f4 L IS USM vIII lens. I wish 🙏 that I had the 400 f2.8 lens!

@@howardholtzman1331 thank you, I appreciate your support

@@snappycanon there is so much customization that I am honestly not sure about programming a similar function. I suggest contacting Canon UK. I will also do some research. If I find a solution I will share.

@@bobanddawndavis Thank you I will also still be looking after all what is the point in having 30 minutes when you cant use it.

@@KeithDavies-z6f Indeed, the @canonusa #rf100500 lens will be awesome ✨ If you don't already have it, I would invest in the RF1.4 extender; it is optically matched.

@@richschmitt100 maybe to you, but it is how I make a living. It's all about the light 💡 and being prepared.

@@elliotresnick5433 excellent! That's what is great about custom functions and settings you can tailor the camera to your specific needs.

@ can I drop you an email and see if I’m on the right track setting up autofocus on this camera?

@ Yes, I would be interested in seeing how you set your camera. Email bob@bobanddawndavis.com

@@bobanddawndavis Ok I sent it

@@richschmitt100 no in the US

@@Adomarf Challenging. If you want to keep using the Canon Speedlites, you do need a backup and reliable radio trigger. I use Pocket Wizard as my backup. You lose all the creative features, but it is reliable. If you’re looking for a complete flash system, I have been using Profoto A10s, B10, B10+, and the Pro Connect transmitter with great success, especially with Profoto’s latest firmware.

@@goldenstasgs what do you mean the video is green? It appears okay on my phone and computer.

@@richardfichera2971 You are correct. The camera will stop 🚫 and say memory card full. Replace the card and continue shooting.

@@bobanddawndavis Thank you, appreciate the confirmation. This is the answer I expected - common sense says that is how the camera should behave, but an almost 50-year career in computer systems hardware, software and architecture makes me cautious about assuming the intersection of software design and common sense:) Unfortunately the yields on 512 GB SD cards are lower than the 256 GB versions, so the price is more than 2X the 256 card:(

@@jonasweiss5817 And what facts are those?

@@mrbob581 Thank you so much; I appreciate your comments. More to come, flash both on & off camera and Pre-continuos capture details

Using the Custom Modes to customize settings for various shooting scenarios is a good idea.

@@DmitryBrodsky007 A silent shutter does not expose the image sensor if it is closed when the camera is powered off. I have never had an issue with the image sensor being exposed on R5, R5MII, R3, and R8. The camera has many features, functions, and options to customize it to meet your needs.

@DmitryBrodsky007 check out "Shutter at Shutdown" (page 1,014 of the Advanced User Guide). Though see the note regarding Auto Power Off.

After further testing and experimenting with electronic, silent shutter, and pre-capture continuos, I stand corrected! You are correct, sir! Suppose you leave the camera with an electronic silent shutter or pre-capture continuously and power off the camera. In that case, the mechanical shutter does not close, exposing the image sensor. Out of habit, I always return the camera to the Mechanical or electronic first curtain shutter when I shut it down. I didn't realize this was a good practice for protecting the image sensor. It would be a great custom function to ALWAYS close the mechanical shutter when powering down the camera.

Shutter at Shutdown (see page 1014 in the User Guide) may be of help here. Though see the note on that page regarding auto power off.

@@bobanddawndavis as i stated above my solution was when i found in the menu obscure setting “beeping sounds off”. Just turn it on and it effectively makes the camera silent even if you leave the camera in electronic shutter mode.

@@rickysharp6511 Thank you. Pre-capture continuous is a considerable advantage. More to come.

Happy to help!

@@ericgrayphoto I am not sure, but with the R5II using the EL-1 and or Profoto A10, I am getting great results using ETTL. Check all of your flash settings. Make sure flash exposure compensation is neutral.

@@bobanddawndavis Do you use anything like a dome diffuser on the speedlites? I have to consistently up my flash exposure compensation up to at least +1/3

@@ericgrayphoto I use the Profoto diffusion dome with the A10 and the Canon stock diffusion clip-on with the EL-1. I haven't had to use any flash exposure compensation with either flash.

@@bobanddawndavis Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it.

@@howardholtzman1331 I have posted a deep-dive review of the @canonusa #eosr5markII where I shared my experience using Profoto flashes. Check out our home page.

@@howardholtzman1331 Hi Howard, I can say that @Profoto performed the best for third-party flashes if TTL is important. As a wedding and event photographer, I depend on TTL (through-the-lens) flash exposure metering. I always use TTL for the on-camera flash and manual for off-camera. My philosophy is that if I am moving and the subject is moving, I use TTL for on-camera. I also use a technique I developed, “The Triangle of Light.” I use it all the time. Three off-camera flashes in three different groups plus on-camera. Usually, the three off-camera are manual and various power levels as needed. @Westcott and others work okay in manual, but not in TTL.
