The next Canon EOS R5 Mark II firmware update coming this month
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I need an "off" customization possibility for that stupid Stills/Video switch. Or at least, a way to assign it a different function.
Two weeks with the R5 II, and I inadvertently switched on video half a dozen times.
My remedy has been to squeeze 3M VHB tape (very sticky) between this switch and the body, but I'd prefer a Canon software solution, of course.
And I also wish for an improved strobe-mount cover (already lost mine in the Austrian Alps
).

I'm not seeing that either. I've had mine since a few weeks before official launch (don't ask) and I've had no issues with tracking at all. I've shot NHRA racing, fast flying ducks, Moose, Elk, and other animals and the R5II really jumps on the subject and is sticky. It needs cross points, but it really isn't that noticeable in the MKII. This camera tracks a bit better than my R3 and much better than my R5, and both of them outperform the competition from what I've seen (especially Nikon). They all beat the pants off my old 1DX MKII and 1DX MKIII. I'm not sure what you're looking for here, but they do a great job.

that is useful to know... I use live view zoom all the time for focusing on stars for astrolandscape. Manual focus of course and then gaffa tape the focus ring.

I have an issue with my R5 Mark II that when I shoot with the screen everytime I engage the AF the screen skips a few frames resulting in a little stutter. This does not happen when I use the viewfinder. In the EVF the image is always smooth. Tried the same thing on my original R5 and it does not show the same behavior.
It is not a major issue for me, but with the powerful Digic X and accelerator I would expect that the camera is able to handle this better.
I tried to make a video to show what I mean:

If you go to the a button with the camera icon, the sub menus choices have a pre capture choice that will allow you to turn it on and off.

It showed up in the Canon Connect app for me a few hours ago, I'm located in the Netherlands.
