Thank you very much for this video and for your instructions. I followed them step by step. I just bought the Canon 100-500. With that and the R5 and your instructions, I took the best bird photos I have every taken. All the best! Bob Reed, Tokyo, Japan.

Welcome 👍

After watching your R8 vs R6ii, I listened to this video. Great job. You are very knowledgable and focussed on wildlife and canon. I like bears, wolves, moose - big animals - and landscape. Big animals are a little less demanding than birds and whales. But I should set up my r5 right anyway for when the flying Sasquatch comes out of the bush. :)

I love your video, thought it was very intuitive…. I am in the midst of purchasing this camera vs the 1dx mark ii. The weight of the 1dx does not bother me. From all the videos I have watched including yours, the eye focus cannot be trusted. So I would prefer using your method of one point on zone . The mechanical shutter will reduce warping vs electronic shutter. The trade off is now 12fps with 45mp raw . Now this becomes the same frame rate as the original 1dx. I am not one to buy a camera every year, every week years, or every 4 years….imown a 5d mark iv for 7 years and still works great, but now I might purchase the r5…thanks again

The eye autofocus can be trusted, it's just if your subject isn't moving then don't hold it down forever. It's the same on all the brands really. The also is trying to think for you and you know how that's going to go lol

Good.

Hi.. great videos.. Just need to ask you - For animal eye detect and tracking, do we need to keep the button pressed to track the moving animal (just like the BBF button for AFC in DSLR cameras)? Or do you just press it once and leave it and it continues to track the animal..

This video should help. R7 but same process. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fW18xrVxYdXWZ6g.html

Interesting to see how you're setting it up Scott ! Like you I also mostly use EFCS. The Australians seem to avoid EFCS because it could give strange effects when shooting faster then 1/1000 or 1/2000 (a bit dependent on camera). However such phenomena only would appear when using such speeds at F4 and wider apertures. Meaning when using big whites north of 10k$. So I'd say the risk of rolling shutter using electronic is bigger, and I only use that mode for very fast action. Regarding dual back button, I extended it slightly by setting the 'af point' button (right of * button) to 'direct af method selection', which allows me faster switching between spot AF and some zone AF which may help when needing to pre-focus on a flying bird when using longer focal lengths. So far, I was using Case 1 (options on -2 and -1) which I picked up from the same Australians. I'll give your settings a try next time around. The past months you posted many interesting R7 video's. How do you now compare the R5 and R7 ? Which one do you use when ?

@WILDALASKA

Жыл бұрын

Rolling shutter issues are pretty non existent as far as an issue on the R5 and I use big whites 90%of the time. the cameras are pretty interchangeable with me. It just depends which lens is on the camera for the job at hand at the time.

@@WILDALASKA Rolling shutter, as well as "the wobble" (about which Jan Wegener sometimes complains) can only happen with full electronic shutter. Jan and Duade are avoiding EFCS because that maybe give issues when shooting at F4 (and wider) when the shutter is faster than 1/1000. With the 100-500 I'm unable to use F4 when zooming in. But your big white may observe some screwed bokeh effects when shooting fast and wide open .. (Google EFCS high shutter speeds) Are you really getting the impression the R7 low light IQ comes close to the R5 ??

@WILDALASKA

@@WernerBirdNature its very very low occurrence and there are things you can do to negate it. Its more your movements vs the subjects movement when it happens. A rotational movement of the camera and barrel of lens are main culprits. SO if your shooting 12 to 20 FPS you may loose maybe 1 shot out of a 10-20 burst which doesn't deter me much from using it.

@@WILDALASKA I agree with you on EFCS, and it puzzles me a bit why Jan and Duade either use electronic or mechanical, but nearly never EFCS With mechanical and low shutter speeds, my R6 seemed to have more shutter shock compared to my old 70D. EFCS gave me much higher keeper rate in those conditions.

Great tutorial! I have the R5 and still haven’t mastered all the settings. I’ve got about same setup on the back button focus. Do you need to hold the eye focus button in when you release the shutter and same question for using single point focus. I heard you say in this tutorial not to hold the eye tracking button to long.

The R7 has more focus modes and at times seems stickier than the R5 but its still very close.

I set the AF select button to zone AF for BIF when face/eye doesn't get them. Works pretty well.

Hi Scott, I've been watching and loving your site for about a year now, thanks a million. I was wondering if you could help me with an R5 problem? I've search the web and can't find a definitive answer or solution. Problem: I cannot get jitter-free video footage when I have my R5 + RF100-500 lens mounted on a tripod unless I do not touch it. The instant I touch it and try to pan or tilt or adjust the camera, press a button, etc., I get super jittery footage. I use a half-decent tripod and a good video fluid head. All the camera and lens settings and switches are set properly. However, when I hand hold the camera the video is jitter free. There are the normal irregular movements as in all hand-held footage, but no jitters. It's as if the camera and/or the lens are turning off their stabilizing mechanisms when on a tripod. Do you know why is is happening and more importantly what to do about it? Thanks so much, Rudy in Ottawa

The single point * button is only used to get the focal plane then off of it. The AF-On is held continuously if the subject is moving. If it stops then use it sparingly. Hope that helps

This Ossie is using mechanical first curtain shutter 99% of the time. I shoot fast moving swallows and dragonflys in front. Rolling shutter bends the wing tips of swallows and dragonflys. I have ES a really good try, but, for swallows and dragons, at least half of my shots need to be discarded due to funky bent wings. Even Rainbow Lorikeets in flight taking of from by bird feeder suffer rolling shutter. So, yes, rolling shutter is a problem for fast wings. I looked back at my 2016 dragonflys in flight shots from my 5d3, and, nice straight wings. Beautiful, except for the higher noise of the 5d3. My tip, use MFCS. Btw, I enter comps, sit though hundreds of judgings, and judges are now starting to recognise & comment on bent wings/ rolling shutter. I also use burst speed light for birding sometimes, and my CANON EL1 flash can keep up with the 12fps MFCS in most lighting conditions. Speedlight is not available in E shutter.

@WILDALASKA

Жыл бұрын

Raise that shutter speed and watch your camera movement. If you camera is super steady and shutter is fast enough then the bent wings will be when the bird/insect is changing direction on wing movement. A sudden change in speed etc. But again it depends on what you're shooting, if its got that erratic movement then you move it out of electronic if you see a lot of weird stuff. But most of the time it's not going to affect shots. Just in some situations it will. Same as low light, or hazy conditions, etc for exposure and what you need to do, same goes for rolling shutter situations ;) hope some of that helps.

I did some reading on this - look to petapixel - and concluded - this only matters if you push the shadows more than 3 stops. vs loud shutter and slower fps. eg it could matter for moose (dark in the dawn where you are avoiding motion blur) but generally you won't notice it.
