    Saving video settings on C1-C3 buttons on the R6 would be No1 for me. Also making focus peaking more vivid would be great.

    These should not be difficult things to add. Focus point infinity scrolling and settings exports are definitely features in their DSLR's. Also, better customization options for buttons has been on my wishlist for ages. It seems like Canon makes a better stride toward this with each generational improvement. The added button on the 5D Mark IV was useless to me when I owned one because of its extremely limited functionality you could actually assign to it. Great video, as usual!

  • @WilliamJohnston
    @WilliamJohnston3 жыл бұрын

    One of my bugs in the R (don't know if it applies to R5/R6) is when transfering to a phone via wifi/bluetooth (which I do A LOT for casual shooting), the back screen insists on being on the whole time - even my customised * button that switches the screen off wont work - it seems such a silly waste of battery to insist that the screen stays on when transferring images. Obviously not a problem on my 80D & 70D DSLRs which transfer images with the back screen off, saving tonnes of battery life. I'd love to see that fixed because for casual shooing I'm transferring straight to my phone so much these days. I'd also love to see a 'DSLR' mode in the viewfinder/screen toggle settings, where I can switch the back screen on and off with a button (like live view), still use the proximity sensor to activate the EVF by putting my eye, but when I move away, I'd love for the EVF to deactivate but have an option for it to not automatically wake up the back screen every time, it's only in certain shooting situations where I'm wanting to use the back screen at all like 'live view'. Any extra screen on time is a waste of battery in my opinion (as you can tell), so it would take a nice 'hybrid' option like that in the viewfinder/screen settings to give maximum flexibility but to also maximise battery life.

    1080 @120 or 240 Lower bit rates (can maybe stop the overheating issues bc of how much data its transfering) 4K Raw would be cool or at least C Log 3 And just get the overheating problem down a lot more (mainly in 4K 60 bc thats where I mainly use it)

Crop to 1.6 mode is also needed.

    Personally, I wouldn't use 4k, but I do use 1080. So sometimes I might need just a little bit of cropping. It'd be great to have 2.7k so the file sizes aren't as big, while not having the overheat issue anymore.

    Don't know if this is possible, but with 120fps, allow shutter speeds slower than 1/120... I understand there would be overlap/blur, but for slowmo shots with LED light flicker, I would like to be able to shoot 120fps, but with a 1/60 shutter. Also, it can be used as a special effect. With electronic shutter, this should be possible, right? I think some other cameras allow this. Also, allowing customizable shutter speeds in between the default values, to allow for exact 180 degree shutter.

  • @CreativeSpiral

    @CreativeSpiral

    3 жыл бұрын

    @@MMaven In the instance of 120fps with 1/60shutter, I was imagining that it might be possible with electronic shutter, as the sensor receives light continuously. For instance: frame #3, it would combine all the light from all of frame 3 (the full 360 degree 1/120), plus the final 1/2 from the previous frame #2 (1/240) and first 1/2 of next frame #4 (1/240). So it wouldn't just duplicate frames, but rather extend exposure duration to include some of the exposure from the previous and next frame. It would make for an interesting ghosted blurring effect with fast motion potentially, and with slower camera motion it might just look a bit soft. I've just been trying to film my Synthesizers with the LED lights on, but getting terrible flickering / pwm issues.

(only Mfn is useable, rate button would be good) 5. allow Q button to be pressed for image review at pre-defined zoom level (eg.100pc from the af point). this is possible in 5d4 but not r cameras. 6. cannot deactivate 1-point af method on r5 For future RF full frame cameras: 1. marginally larger body with AFon button that is in the same vertical plane as the AE lock (*) button 2. add option for top lcd to be set permanently to black text on white background with more details showing
