the joystick on the c70 was also a button, but it could a pain to operate if you weren't pressing directly down. Any angle in the press would not give the desired effect - something easy enough to do in run and gun or gimbal work.

A decent little upgrade but honestly expecting more. Typical canon to wait forever and then sprinkle us with something when it could be so much more. I’m an R5c user and doubt any type of camera is in the works to replace this any time soon so I would hope canon will keep this camera alive for some years to come. I would LOVE fringin AF lock tracking or face AF ON 4K 120P like the C70. Heck I’d even compromise and say make it with ONLY EXTERNAL power and I’d be happy at the very lease. I have AF in 8k60 with external power why can’t I just have AF 4K120. Let me be able to drag around the screen my wave forms. I think af in general could still use some improvement. Lastly what would also be insane but doable is either 4k canon RAW LIGHT internal or full sensor, 4k pro res raw with external or internal, and an open gate recording option like Fuji and Panasonic.

Hi Jason, after updating to the latest firmware on the Canon R5C, did it reset any of your user inputs or custom buttons? (I just wanted to ask because the last update reset all my inputs and custom buttons)
@PointsInFocus8 сағат бұрын
Unfortunately, yes, it does. All of the cinema EOS updates reset all of your menu and custom picture file settings (though for some reason, the photo mode settings don't get reset). Canon, and I, always recommend backing up your menu and custom picture settings to an SD card before upgrading the R5C's (or any other Cinema EOS camera's) firmware. I had originally mentioned that in this video, but ended up cutting that and the how to do it out and into a separate video for time purposes.

First, at least on Canon USA's site, it's listed under Mac OS Ventura. If it auto detected Sonoma, just change the OS to Ventura and it should show up. That said, I don't know why Canon bothers to make a distinction for the firmwares. The only difference between the mac and windows versions is that the mac version is distributed as a dmg image and the windows version is a ZIP file (which Macs have been able to read and decompress for ages now). Everything that's in that file , so the firmware and some PDF instructions, are platform independent so it doesn't matter what OS or version you download.

So I have to weigh my upgrades based on what I think makes most sense for me, and what I have the budget for. My bet right now is that I'll probably get an R5-2, but like everyone else, I'll be putting in an order and waiting for it to ship when it ships. If I had to guess, that means I won't have any hands on stuff until close to the end of the year.

In most cases, especially when there's testing involved (which is more often than not, even if I'm just talking about what a setting does), it just takes time to get things done. For most of my videos, I'm amazed if I can turn something around from concept to final product in less than 4 or 5 days. This also goes to your comment about the misspelled word in the title card. Since I don't have a team, I have to do all the QC checks, and sometimes stuff slips through. I wish I was better at that, but sometimes stuff slips through. DaVinci Resolve doesn't help there either, as it has no built in spell checker, and it doesn't use the OS provided spell checkers (at least on windows). And anybody who's done their own proof reading knows that it's very hard to spot errors when you know what you were supposed to have written.

WiFi is a problem one way or another. When it's not there, people complain; when it's not perfectly stable and super fast, people complain. I tested the WiFi on the R5 (both the R5 and R5C use the same chipsets), and it's not great. At best, I can get 50 Mbps from it on my network (Unify UAP7s, gig-e backhaul, my iPhone 15 pro can git 650/250 Mbps on the same network). While that's enough for remote control and a low res live view feed, it's not really enough to stream any kind of high quality video without having problems. Even streaming 8 Mbps, there's still the potential for dropped frames and that's not really acceptable on a pro level camera.

@PointsInFocus2 күн бұрын
My experience with that problem is that your bumping the second quick control dial (the one that changes the ISO) when you're not using the camera. Unfortunately, Canon doesn't provide a way to lock the camera to auto ISO. However, there are a couple of workarounds that you can try. First, you can set the second quick control dial to not change the ISO. You do this by setting it's function to off under customize dials on the custom function 3 menu page. This will stop the dial from directly controlling the ISO, but it will still function in the menus or anywhere else you'd normally use it. If you do stop the top dial from changing the ISO, I would recommend that you add the ISO setting your dial function menu (the menu that normally comes up when you push the m-fn button) if it's not already there. Of course, you can also change the ISO through the menus or the 5th info screen (the one with all the camera settings) at any time. The second option is to get in the habit of using the multi-function lock button on the top of the camera. You can limit this to just the second quick command dial, or most of the camera's controls. The setting to control what the lock locks is found on the Set Up 4 menu page, under Multi-Function Lock. I know neither of these are great options, but they will at stop the ISO from kicking out of auto when you don't want it to.

It's actually a good option in a lot of situations aside from cruise ships, as a telephoto compresses the landscape and changes the perspective on what you see.

I’ve got a question if you’ve run into this. I was out last night with my slider plus and head plus both moving between two key poses. I set the app with a 15” interval and my camera’s shutter speed was 10”. It appeared the head plus would do its move between shots immediately after the 10” exposure was done but then the slider seemed to move right when the next exposure was triggered. I had the camera plugged into the head plus for reference. Do you know if there is a way to have the slider finish its move before the head plus triggers the next shot? I thought since everything was synced in the app, this wouldn’t happen.
@PointsInFocus4 күн бұрын
Just out of curiosity, is your camera set to do long exposure noise reduction? On Canon and Nikon cameras, this is just dark frame subtraction, and it little more than doubles the exposure time for every shot (e.g. 10" with the shutter open, 10" with the shutter close for the dark frame). If that's enabled, then you'll either need to extend the slide interval or turn off the long exposure NR. Beyond that, the only think you can do is extend the slide interval to insure there's enough time between shots. Unfortunately, this is one of those places where it would be really nice if the cameras and external devices could actually talk to each other intelligently. As things stand, the slider can't know if the camera is done or not, and so it just moves and simulates pressing the shutter release, and just hopes for the best.

I haven't seen any problems personally. That said, at least when shooting video, I know the IS system can make things look a bit wonky at times in parts of the image; especially at the wide end, and at the edges of the frame. It's possible that a similar problem could be rearing its head and combined with a longish shutter speed (1/30 or 1/60th and slower) while shooting stills could result in a similar effect when shooting a still. That said, aside form the breathing tests I haven't really dug into any other image quality aspects with this lens.

The GP-E2 external model is somewhat clunky (goes in the hot shoe), though it does have an electronic compass. The smartphone system is very hit and miss in my experience.

However, I'm starting a new channel soon that's focused on model trains and model building, and shooting that kind of stuff with a 100-500 isn't really practical. So I've been trying to decide between continuing to use my EF extension tubes, buy a set of RF extension tubes, or buy an RF macro lens. Unfortunately, the RF extension tubes seem to be close to half of the cost of the Laowa macro lenses.

I would say this is a problem for stills. Because this lens is often compared to primes, and it may seem to some that formally it is not so different from 85mm - but in truth it is very different. Primes breathe forward, but this lens breathes backward and very strongly. In fact, at 70mm it may be closer to 50mm prime lens at close-up portrait distances than to 85mm prime lens. Of course, this is much more bigger problem with telephoto lenses. Because with telephoto lenses - focal length is not a matter of artistic decision - we are actually paying to reach farther when we buy a telephoto lens. I have long had the idea of testing some of the severe cases among the 70-200 class, for example, one of the stabilized Tamrons or the second version of Nikon. And compare it with some prime that breathes forward. I'm wondering if a 200mm Tamron can "meet" a 100 2.8 macro at some distance? That would be hilarious. I don't have the opportunity to do something like that soon, so I don't mind if you do exactly that experiment.
@PointsInFocus10 күн бұрын
So the reason I said that breathing isn't a problem for stills is because you don't have the time component as you have in video, and the change in angle of view doesn't become a distraction. For the most people, the vast majority of still photographers I've meat have no idea that their 70mm lens isn't 70mm at any given focus distance. Also, while you're talking about primes, it's not a primes versus zooms thing. It's a design of the focusing system thing; specifically internal/rear versus overall linear extending. Different designs will behave differently, even within the same overall class of focusing system. Notice the 28-70/2L's AoV widens as you focus closer, but the 24-70/2.8L's doesn't, it get's narrower (though only slightly). Moreover, while the video isn't live yet (it's coming I think next week), the RF 15-35/2.8L IS USM does both depending on the zoom position. As for the telephoto question... I'd like to look into it, but I only have access to a limited amount of glass. I'd love to test more, but that means getting it, and I'm no where near big enough in the photography "influencer" space that anybody would be willing to send me random lenses to test. So I can test what I can, but that's not the most exhaustive list. That said, I am working on cleaning up the code I used for this and making it available to anyone who wants to run it. So that might get some more data points for stuff I can't actually test myself.
@dima135310 күн бұрын
Hello. I like your approach. Do you think it is reasonable to assume that all traditional prime lenses, in which no measures have been taken to correct breathing, will behave the same? For example 50 mm lenses. Like EF 50 1.4, ef 50 1.8, old minolta 50 1.7, takumar, yashica.... I mean they all are just some sort of "7/6" which move forward and backward, what difference could there be ?
@PointsInFocus10 күн бұрын
As far as my understanding of optics go, that assumption is valid. All lenses that extend when breathing will do so in the same way (AoV will narrow) and if they're the same focal length, should have very similar changes in percentage. Experimentally, I've seen this with the 3 extending primes I've tested, Canon's FD 50mm f/1.8, EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. Though I'd love to have more data points to add to that list.

Just to be clear, there is no EF version of this lens. This video is on the RF 28-70mm f/2L USM, not the 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM. The f/2.8 version will be coming next week, and it performs a lot better than the 28-70 does (spoiler, breathing is functionally not an issue). The RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM from the tests I've seen breathes a lot, not quite on par with this 28-70, but much more than the 24-70/2.8. However, I haven't seen a test that graphs it out like I have, so I don't know if it's a problem that only shows up when focusing from MFD to infinity or if it's still fairly strong at normal working distances. I'd like to test a 24-105/2.8, because nobody else is testing the lenses in this fashion, but I couldn't get my hands on one when they were first released, and haven't really had the urge to get one since then. I'm also half tempted to get a 35/1.4L. I try to shoot these videos at about 35mm, and that would be a very nice lens for that purpose. Plus I can see some other uses for it like night landscapes and astrophotography.

hello.. so my video rotation enabled work for the past 2 years but now all of a sudden it is not working anymore. anyone else have that problem? if i shoot vertical, the playback comes as rotated, instead of vertical aspect ratio.. anyone kno what happened or how to fix this? thanks

First, double check that the movie rotation info setting is enabled. It's not the same setting as described in this video for stills, though it is on the same menu page (Set Up 1). Additionally, this setting is saved as part of the custom user modes (C1-C3), so if you use those, you'll need to make sure it's enabled in all of them as well. Additionally, make sure you're not recording in RAW or RAW+MP4. For whatever reason the camera cannot add the rotation information when those formats are used. Second, if the setting is enabled, make sure that you see the rotation indicator icon (a camera with an arrow pointing up) at the top center of the info overlays on the live image. You may need to hit the info button to step through the various screens until you get to the one that has all the information displayed. If that's displayed, to rule out a problem with the camera hardware, make sure it changes when you rotate the camera. That is, if you hold the camera with the grip up, the indicator arrow should point towards the grip. If the icon doesn't change, it's possible that the accelerometers in the camera that determine the orientation have failed somehow, and the camera will need to be repaired. If the icon does change and you're only shooting in MP4 format, then the orientation information is stored as metadata in each file. You can verify that it's being recorded properly by using a program like Exiftool, MediaInfo, or some media players (like MPC-HC) to read the metadata. You're looking for the "Rotation" tag on the video section. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be in the Window's file properties or MacOS info dialogs. If it's showing up properly in the files, then the problem is likely that your media player/NLE isn't rotating the video using that tag. In which case, you'll need to check with the player/NLE's support/documentation to see if that tag is supported.

@@PointsInFocus all settings are fine but i am noticing when i set my CP3 to info enabled, and i try recording, it is still previewing the file as horizontal. then when i back out of that mode, it reverts back to disabled when i go back into it. everything was fine until 2 weeks ago when i got a RS4 gimbal. i donno if that caused an issue or not but now, even when i have the camera with an arrow on top, it shows the video as horizontal. its not an issue when editing, its a simple click but still annoying. 2 years ago i had this issue but when i pressed enable, it fixed it until last week haha i updated the firmware to 2.0.0 as well. i donno what happened all of a sudden
@PointsInFocus16 күн бұрын
From what you're describing here, it sounds like the video rotation setting isn't enabled in the C3 custom shooting mode that you're using. And for some reason, when you enabled it, it's getting reset before you actually get to shooting. Do you have custom modes set to auto update? (Set up5 → custom shooting modes → auto update set.). If that's set to disabled, then you'll need to manually update the C3 mode to include the video rotation setting. When in the C3 mode, go into the menus, enable the video rotation setting, then go to the custom shooting modes menu, and use the register settings entry to update the C3 mode. One other thing, the C1-C3 settings are saved separately for photo and video modes; which is confusing. If you set the video rotation in C3 in photo mode, it won't be changed in C3 in movie mode. I don't think either the gimbal or the firmware had anything to do with this. I'm running firmware 2.0.0 and my camera rotates the videos properly.

It's worth a try, and it can't hurt anything. Plus I'm out of ideas otherwise so... What media player/NLE are you using to playback the footage on your computer? The camera never rotates the video on the playback so you'd never know there. But I'm wondering if it's writing the metadata out correctly and it's not being picked up on your computer for some reason.

the joystick on the c70 was also a button, but it could a pain to operate if you weren't pressing directly down. Any angle in the press would not give the desired effect - something easy enough to do in run and gun or gimbal work.
"Canon should add gyroscope metadata to better stabilize the R5C ."
A decent little upgrade but honestly expecting more. Typical canon to wait forever and then sprinkle us with something when it could be so much more. I’m an R5c user and doubt any type of camera is in the works to replace this any time soon so I would hope canon will keep this camera alive for some years to come. I would LOVE fringin AF lock tracking or face AF ON 4K 120P like the C70. Heck I’d even compromise and say make it with ONLY EXTERNAL power and I’d be happy at the very lease. I have AF in 8k60 with external power why can’t I just have AF 4K120. Let me be able to drag around the screen my wave forms. I think af in general could still use some improvement. Lastly what would also be insane but doable is either 4k canon RAW LIGHT internal or full sensor, 4k pro res raw with external or internal, and an open gate recording option like Fuji and Panasonic.
Hi Jason, after updating to the latest firmware on the Canon R5C, did it reset any of your user inputs or custom buttons? (I just wanted to ask because the last update reset all my inputs and custom buttons)
Unfortunately, yes, it does. All of the cinema EOS updates reset all of your menu and custom picture file settings (though for some reason, the photo mode settings don't get reset). Canon, and I, always recommend backing up your menu and custom picture settings to an SD card before upgrading the R5C's (or any other Cinema EOS camera's) firmware. I had originally mentioned that in this video, but ended up cutting that and the how to do it out and into a separate video for time purposes.
Is anyone else not able to find the download for Mac?
First, at least on Canon USA's site, it's listed under Mac OS Ventura. If it auto detected Sonoma, just change the OS to Ventura and it should show up. That said, I don't know why Canon bothers to make a distinction for the firmwares. The only difference between the mac and windows versions is that the mac version is distributed as a dmg image and the windows version is a ZIP file (which Macs have been able to read and decompress for ages now). Everything that's in that file , so the firmware and some PDF instructions, are platform independent so it doesn't matter what OS or version you download.
Definitely a nice update!
Thai is great news. Now, if only they’d give us settings presets and auto shutter speed. 😩
Presets would be really nice. And it's not like it's something that wouldn't also be useful on the rest of the cinema camera line either.
Thanks heaps for the update on the update hahaha. I really enjoy your attention to detail of your content and especially that you describe with good explanation how settings work. Where you are unsure, you're honest and don't fluff around with an assumption. Keep up the great work, its really appreciated.
Hi Jason, You asked about the feature for the VR Utility v1.4. The firmware adds lens correction support for Peripheral Illumination and CA when using the RF 5.2mm VR lens.
Thanks.
BIG thanks
Link to the download would be helpful. Thanks for the review.
Fair point. I've added that to the description.
I can't wait to see what you think about the R5c compared to the R5 MK II. I am super conflicted on which to get.
Unfortunately, we're both going to just have to wait for that. I don't get stuff from Canon, prerelease or otherwise. Plus I don't have the cash to just throw randomly at whatever camera gear suits my fancy (otherwise I'd have an R3, a C400 on order, and a Z9 and an A9-3 and some lenses for them). So I have to weigh my upgrades based on what I think makes most sense for me, and what I have the budget for. My bet right now is that I'll probably get an R5-2, but like everyone else, I'll be putting in an order and waiting for it to ship when it ships. If I had to guess, that means I won't have any hands on stuff until close to the end of the year.
I think we're all in the same boat. I'm waiting for the new Canon. However, if nothing positive comes soon i will turn to the dark side and have the FX3.

You misspelled "expanded" at 2:21
Thanks. Unfortunately, working solo that happens sometimes. And unfortunately, the only way I can fix it on KZread is to delete this video and upload new one (losing the analytics, comments, and so on).
@@PointsInFocus Yeah sorry I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Just wanted to let you know. I really appreciate you making these videos.
Why do you only want to put out videos once a week? Is it an algorithm thing?
I'd love to put out videos more frequently. The problem is time. I do this completely solo. I write, test, shoot, edit, etc. every video that I produce. In most cases, especially when there's testing involved (which is more often than not, even if I'm just talking about what a setting does), it just takes time to get things done. For most of my videos, I'm amazed if I can turn something around from concept to final product in less than 4 or 5 days. This also goes to your comment about the misspelled word in the title card. Since I don't have a team, I have to do all the QC checks, and sometimes stuff slips through. I wish I was better at that, but sometimes stuff slips through. DaVinci Resolve doesn't help there either, as it has no built in spell checker, and it doesn't use the OS provided spell checkers (at least on windows). And anybody who's done their own proof reading knows that it's very hard to spot errors when you know what you were supposed to have written.
This is much better than reading the manual. Because then I know I haven’t missed anything important. Thanks
I like the scene of being angry on focus point reset 😀😀😀
That's probably toned down from how I felt when I first got the camera. I think I almost threw it across the room on a couple of occasions I was frustrated by the different UI.
@@PointsInFocus You are not alone with frustration, Jason, some things, eg. Wifi or remote control are hard to believe till today 😔 But even with those flaws I like the camera a lot ✨Thanks so much for all your wonderful tutorials and in-depth lessons ✨🙋🏻♂️👍🏻
WiFi is a problem one way or another. When it's not there, people complain; when it's not perfectly stable and super fast, people complain. I tested the WiFi on the R5 (both the R5 and R5C use the same chipsets), and it's not great. At best, I can get 50 Mbps from it on my network (Unify UAP7s, gig-e backhaul, my iPhone 15 pro can git 650/250 Mbps on the same network). While that's enough for remote control and a low res live view feed, it's not really enough to stream any kind of high quality video without having problems. Even streaming 8 Mbps, there's still the potential for dropped frames and that's not really acceptable on a pro level camera.
I'm sorry but the R5C is the worse camera I have ever experienced and owned. Not able to use WIFI without a handgrip purchase, obviously battery time is a joke, and having the v mount bat. makes it a tank to carry when this supposed to be a small hybrid. Im selling mine if anyone wants it .... hit me up
That’s too bad. I love mine. I’ve had it for two years and made a lot of money with it.
Are you able to connect the wifi without the extended grip
I’ve never tried, WiFi isn’t part of my workflow personally.
But I could see that being unbelievably annoying if it’s a requirement for you. That grip is wicked expensive.
Best camera I've ever owned as it does everything I need and then some. I guess your experience makes a good case for renting first to see if works for you.
PROBLEM: my canon R6 change manual to ISO AUTO by itself, and all my photos get super exposed, I change the adapter and the lens, nothing works! someone can help me?
My experience with that problem is that your bumping the second quick control dial (the one that changes the ISO) when you're not using the camera. Unfortunately, Canon doesn't provide a way to lock the camera to auto ISO. However, there are a couple of workarounds that you can try. First, you can set the second quick control dial to not change the ISO. You do this by setting it's function to off under customize dials on the custom function 3 menu page. This will stop the dial from directly controlling the ISO, but it will still function in the menus or anywhere else you'd normally use it. If you do stop the top dial from changing the ISO, I would recommend that you add the ISO setting your dial function menu (the menu that normally comes up when you push the m-fn button) if it's not already there. Of course, you can also change the ISO through the menus or the 5th info screen (the one with all the camera settings) at any time. The second option is to get in the habit of using the multi-function lock button on the top of the camera. You can limit this to just the second quick command dial, or most of the camera's controls. The setting to control what the lock locks is found on the Set Up 4 menu page, under Multi-Function Lock. I know neither of these are great options, but they will at stop the ISO from kicking out of auto when you don't want it to.
Mystery Solved lol! Thanks for this, concise and to the point, made solving my problem of the aperture not working on my adapted lens.
Would you mind sharing the link for the hotshoe attachment for the battery adapter?
I believe it's one of these amzn.to/4buxMVL (at least that's what shows up in my amazon order history).
Using a telephoto for landscapes is a good option as you won't get that many very wide angle landscape scenes with a typical cruise/land tour. Tele's allow you to zoom into the most interesting part and you can still stitch together a pano very easily even with handheld.
It's actually a good option in a lot of situations aside from cruise ships, as a telephoto compresses the landscape and changes the perspective on what you see. That said, I don't think a lot of people, at least newer photographers, think of doing that. Some kind of seem to get trapped with the idea that you shoot landscapes with a wide and that's it.
You can't control the weather, so no need to apologize for your lack of photos. Looked like a fabulous vacation! Another comment...ditch those GoPros. All I use is DJI. I know so many people with GoPros that either overheat, or corrupt memory cards. Zero issues with my Osmo Action cameras.
On the GoPro front, I expect that unless something major changes in the next 3 or 4 years, I won't be using GoPros when I get around to the next upgrade cycle for them. However, for the moment, I don't really want to throw more good money away after bad. Even if I sell them, I won't get their purchase price back and that's not going to cover the costs of the Osmos to replace them. So since they're a low use low priority item, they can get rarely used and I can deal with them failing if they do.
On my recent cruise to Alaska, I've used the Sigma 60-600mm, the range is great for such trips.
That's also an awesome range to use. In some cases even better than the 100-500 I like.
I’ve got a question if you’ve run into this. I was out last night with my slider plus and head plus both moving between two key poses. I set the app with a 15” interval and my camera’s shutter speed was 10”. It appeared the head plus would do its move between shots immediately after the 10” exposure was done but then the slider seemed to move right when the next exposure was triggered. I had the camera plugged into the head plus for reference. Do you know if there is a way to have the slider finish its move before the head plus triggers the next shot? I thought since everything was synced in the app, this wouldn’t happen.
Just out of curiosity, is your camera set to do long exposure noise reduction? On Canon and Nikon cameras, this is just dark frame subtraction, and it little more than doubles the exposure time for every shot (e.g. 10" with the shutter open, 10" with the shutter close for the dark frame). If that's enabled, then you'll either need to extend the slide interval or turn off the long exposure NR. Beyond that, the only think you can do is extend the slide interval to insure there's enough time between shots. Unfortunately, this is one of those places where it would be really nice if the cameras and external devices could actually talk to each other intelligently. As things stand, the slider can't know if the camera is done or not, and so it just moves and simulates pressing the shutter release, and just hopes for the best.
Man, why not raw?
For now, that's a question you'd have to ask the folks at Netflix. I'm hoping to dig into the image quality situation with raw on the R5C in the coming months, but try as I might I haven't gotten there yet.
Hi there, thanks for your always knowledge packed video’s. I wonder if you have noticed during the testing of this lens, totally different subject, any restlessness, unsharpness, unalignednes in your images? I tend to notice this in mine, and found more people complaining running into this issue. Some say it may be related to field curvature which is strong in this lens. It only happens on some parts in the image. I wonder what your thoughts are.
I haven't seen any problems personally. That said, at least when shooting video, I know the IS system can make things look a bit wonky at times in parts of the image; especially at the wide end, and at the edges of the frame. It's possible that a similar problem could be rearing its head and combined with a longish shutter speed (1/30 or 1/60th and slower) while shooting stills could result in a similar effect when shooting a still. That said, aside form the breathing tests I haven't really dug into any other image quality aspects with this lens.
@@PointsInFocus Do you have any plans on doing so? Testing lenses image quality wise? It seems to me that you dig way deeper into al kinds of technical aspects / issues than any other photographer. And Field Curvature / PointsInFocus do correlate nicely in my opinion 😉. The 15-35 could be a great start 😉💪🏻
I'd like to, but I have a pile of stuff on my plate as it is. Right now, I don't have any concrete plans to do a whole lot of digging into lens performance in the immediate future.
Do I need an adapter between FD and MC? Because the MC lens fits, but doesn't "click"
For an MC lens (I assume you're talking about a Minolta MC lens), you'll need an MC to RF adapter, not an FD to RF adapter. The MC mount is different from the FD mount.
Very detailed information! Much appreciated! Question: I am using the Rode Wireless Pro and renting the Canon R5C. We're in the development stage of a documentary (targeting Netflix) and will be interviewing the main character. The information from the interview will be used to develop a Pitch Deck, scripting writing, story development, etc., and possibly some footage will be in the documentary. With these things in mind, how should I set up the audio portion of the Canon R5C and the Rode Wireless Pro (I already have the video setup based on the provided Netflix info)? Thanks in advance.
Sorry, but audio is something that I'm not even remotely qualified to give advice on. I barely know what I'm doing for my own videos, never mind trying to tell someone how they should setup their audio.
Thanks for the info! Still I’m not sure about something. I work on an expedition vessel in a very remote place. My phone is always on airplane mode with limited WiFi connection. Sometime I carry it with me to the expeditions. Sometimes it stays on board. Do you think the camera will be able to use the gps from the last known location or both devices need to be together at all times?
No, the camera and phone have to be together all the time for the smartphone GPS to work. In fact, I've had problems keeping the camera and phone synced even when they're both with me sometimes. To be honest, there's no real good solution to geotagging on anything other than the R3 right now. The GP-E2 external model is somewhat clunky (goes in the hot shoe), though it does have an electronic compass. The smartphone system is very hit and miss in my experience. In many respects, nothing on the R5/R6 really works as well as the build in GPS that I had in my 5D4 (or you have in the R3).
I’m considering this lens for purely macro work using manual focus only. Am I correct in assuming that this is an AF issue only?
Unfortunately, no. The focus shift is a result of stopping down the aperture. Whether you focused the lens manually or using the AF system, currently Canon only allows you to do so with the aperture at it's widest setting (except when shooting video). As a result, even if you're manually focusing, you'll still have the focus shift problem.
Well, that’s unfortunate. Sounds like I need to look at Laowa. Thanks for the quick response!
On the plus side, the Laowas have higher magnification (2x instead of 1.4x) and costs less than half as much. And if you're shooting with a RF camera with IBIS, you get stabilization from that, though not quite as much as you'd get with the hybrid IS with the Canon. I've been looking at the 100/2.8 or the 90/2.8, I just haven't had the need to pull the trigger one yet.
Or just continue to use my RF 100-500 for macro(ish) photography.
Another option might be a set of RF mount extension tubes, and just use a regular mid-range RF lens. I do something similar to you with the big telephoto. I sold my old macro lens (Sigma 150/2.8) when I got my EF 100-400 mk II. It's great for bugs, and flowers and the like since you have a ton of working distance. However, I'm starting a new channel soon that's focused on model trains and model building, and shooting that kind of stuff with a 100-500 isn't really practical. So I've been trying to decide between continuing to use my EF extension tubes, buy a set of RF extension tubes, or buy an RF macro lens. Unfortunately, the RF extension tubes seem to be close to half of the cost of the Laowa macro lenses.
Thanks for the great video. I have a question, is there a way to figure out which images you have sent, so that when downloading the card, these images have a mark or something? and then you can keep the RAWs, and ditch the rest. I know you can rate them, but I am looking for a different way, as to rate I need both hands, and two actions. Thanks again
Unfortunately, not that I know of. Though to be honest, there really should be some metadata for that or something.
you deserve more views
I would say this is a problem for stills. Because this lens is often compared to primes, and it may seem to some that formally it is not so different from 85mm - but in truth it is very different. Primes breathe forward, but this lens breathes backward and very strongly. In fact, at 70mm it may be closer to 50mm prime lens at close-up portrait distances than to 85mm prime lens. Of course, this is much more bigger problem with telephoto lenses. Because with telephoto lenses - focal length is not a matter of artistic decision - we are actually paying to reach farther when we buy a telephoto lens. I have long had the idea of testing some of the severe cases among the 70-200 class, for example, one of the stabilized Tamrons or the second version of Nikon. And compare it with some prime that breathes forward. I'm wondering if a 200mm Tamron can "meet" a 100 2.8 macro at some distance? That would be hilarious. I don't have the opportunity to do something like that soon, so I don't mind if you do exactly that experiment.
So the reason I said that breathing isn't a problem for stills is because you don't have the time component as you have in video, and the change in angle of view doesn't become a distraction. For the most people, the vast majority of still photographers I've meat have no idea that their 70mm lens isn't 70mm at any given focus distance. Also, while you're talking about primes, it's not a primes versus zooms thing. It's a design of the focusing system thing; specifically internal/rear versus overall linear extending. Different designs will behave differently, even within the same overall class of focusing system. Notice the 28-70/2L's AoV widens as you focus closer, but the 24-70/2.8L's doesn't, it get's narrower (though only slightly). Moreover, while the video isn't live yet (it's coming I think next week), the RF 15-35/2.8L IS USM does both depending on the zoom position. As for the telephoto question... I'd like to look into it, but I only have access to a limited amount of glass. I'd love to test more, but that means getting it, and I'm no where near big enough in the photography "influencer" space that anybody would be willing to send me random lenses to test. So I can test what I can, but that's not the most exhaustive list. That said, I am working on cleaning up the code I used for this and making it available to anyone who wants to run it. So that might get some more data points for stuff I can't actually test myself.
Hello. I like your approach. Do you think it is reasonable to assume that all traditional prime lenses, in which no measures have been taken to correct breathing, will behave the same? For example 50 mm lenses. Like EF 50 1.4, ef 50 1.8, old minolta 50 1.7, takumar, yashica.... I mean they all are just some sort of "7/6" which move forward and backward, what difference could there be ?
As far as my understanding of optics go, that assumption is valid. All lenses that extend when breathing will do so in the same way (AoV will narrow) and if they're the same focal length, should have very similar changes in percentage. Experimentally, I've seen this with the 3 extending primes I've tested, Canon's FD 50mm f/1.8, EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. Though I'd love to have more data points to add to that list.
Hi ! Really useful data but i'm having a hard time reading your charts. Can you indicate the distance with linear units? Like 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7 meters? I can only see 10**1 feet and meters, but what is 10**0 ?
I'll take that into consideration for the future For reference, 10**0 feet/meters is 1 foot/meter, 10**1 is 10 feet/meters, 10**2 is 100 feet/meters.
Excellent - "Just the facts, ma'am" information. It would not break your face to smile, just to let us know that you're not a robot...
EXCELLENT Video - great balance (not intended to be a pun on the video topic) between general and technical information *****
Answered the exact question I had, thanks! These boxes seem weirdly inconsistent while I'm doing Back Button AF, Subect + Eye tracking on my Canon R6. Sometimes I was getting a white box following birds around, sometimes not, and it wasn't while I had the button down to activate AF, so it was confusing the hell out of me.
What settings were used in this video? Did I miss that part. Looks great.
I shoot all my a-roll footage on an R5C in 1080p full frame in c.log 3, saved with 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC. Though I intercut with footage from my R5 shot full frame, 1080p, 10-bit HEVC (c.log 3). Truthfully, at 1080p I don't find much of a difference between the two cameras, even though the R5C is down-sampling from 8K and the R5 is downsampling it's 1080p from line skipped 4K. That said, I shoot 1080p largely to save space, as I don't think anything in these videos really warrants stepping up to 4K.
Excellent information!!
I cannot for the life of me get the canon R5 to do the live histogram, and thank you for helping me!
You're a living user manual that actually has the answers. I gotta say, you're more informative and better than chatGTP 4o. So thanks again and I hope Canon will back up the money truck for you.
TY. Going on Alaska cruise later this year. Current info is great!
4:15 You actually made me laugh here 😃!! Great advice on booking excursions through the ship, so you don't get left behind. Sorry it rained so much. I was looking forward to seeing some of your pictures and b roll. Still a great video either way!
That’s some robust breathing. Almost unusable at 70mm for important footage. Nice lens still.
funny, I've been following you since I bought my Canon R5C last year and I'm sitting right now thinking about whether I should buy this lens - both for filming and taking pictures with it... It's just before I think I might as well run with an EF version instead and then wait until I can afford their canon rf 24-105 f2.8. It should be more suitable for use with film or their new RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM. Both of these show a new direction in relation to something that works with a hybrid approach between film and photo. Thanks for sharing - love your dry and to the point approach in your presentations and review.
Just to be clear, there is no EF version of this lens. This video is on the RF 28-70mm f/2L USM, not the 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM. The f/2.8 version will be coming next week, and it performs a lot better than the 28-70 does (spoiler, breathing is functionally not an issue). The RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM from the tests I've seen breathes a lot, not quite on par with this 28-70, but much more than the 24-70/2.8. However, I haven't seen a test that graphs it out like I have, so I don't know if it's a problem that only shows up when focusing from MFD to infinity or if it's still fairly strong at normal working distances. I'd like to test a 24-105/2.8, because nobody else is testing the lenses in this fashion, but I couldn't get my hands on one when they were first released, and haven't really had the urge to get one since then. I'm also half tempted to get a 35/1.4L. I try to shoot these videos at about 35mm, and that would be a very nice lens for that purpose. Plus I can see some other uses for it like night landscapes and astrophotography.
Excellent video!!
Pathetic that Canon only offers breathing correction on consumer bodies. Also are the coatings still peeling off those lenses?
First time I'm hearing about the peeling, are you serious 😲?
@MrWiseinheart, I've had my 28-70/2 in use for over a year, and there's no indication fo coatings failing or peeling off on my lens. This is also the first time I've heard of a problem as well. While I wouldn't be surprised that there were isolated failures, or failures with abused lenses that people claim weren't abused. However, if there was a wide spread problem, even if it was only limited to a small serial number range, I would have expected a service advisory or partial recall on the lens which certainly hasn't happened.
@@PointsInFocus ok thanks for that, good to know 👍. I have the lens as well so was kind of worried.
hello.. so my video rotation enabled work for the past 2 years but now all of a sudden it is not working anymore. anyone else have that problem? if i shoot vertical, the playback comes as rotated, instead of vertical aspect ratio.. anyone kno what happened or how to fix this? thanks
First, double check that the movie rotation info setting is enabled. It's not the same setting as described in this video for stills, though it is on the same menu page (Set Up 1). Additionally, this setting is saved as part of the custom user modes (C1-C3), so if you use those, you'll need to make sure it's enabled in all of them as well. Additionally, make sure you're not recording in RAW or RAW+MP4. For whatever reason the camera cannot add the rotation information when those formats are used. Second, if the setting is enabled, make sure that you see the rotation indicator icon (a camera with an arrow pointing up) at the top center of the info overlays on the live image. You may need to hit the info button to step through the various screens until you get to the one that has all the information displayed. If that's displayed, to rule out a problem with the camera hardware, make sure it changes when you rotate the camera. That is, if you hold the camera with the grip up, the indicator arrow should point towards the grip. If the icon doesn't change, it's possible that the accelerometers in the camera that determine the orientation have failed somehow, and the camera will need to be repaired. If the icon does change and you're only shooting in MP4 format, then the orientation information is stored as metadata in each file. You can verify that it's being recorded properly by using a program like Exiftool, MediaInfo, or some media players (like MPC-HC) to read the metadata. You're looking for the "Rotation" tag on the video section. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be in the Window's file properties or MacOS info dialogs. If it's showing up properly in the files, then the problem is likely that your media player/NLE isn't rotating the video using that tag. In which case, you'll need to check with the player/NLE's support/documentation to see if that tag is supported.
@@PointsInFocus all settings are fine but i am noticing when i set my CP3 to info enabled, and i try recording, it is still previewing the file as horizontal. then when i back out of that mode, it reverts back to disabled when i go back into it. everything was fine until 2 weeks ago when i got a RS4 gimbal. i donno if that caused an issue or not but now, even when i have the camera with an arrow on top, it shows the video as horizontal. its not an issue when editing, its a simple click but still annoying. 2 years ago i had this issue but when i pressed enable, it fixed it until last week haha i updated the firmware to 2.0.0 as well. i donno what happened all of a sudden
From what you're describing here, it sounds like the video rotation setting isn't enabled in the C3 custom shooting mode that you're using. And for some reason, when you enabled it, it's getting reset before you actually get to shooting. Do you have custom modes set to auto update? (Set up5 → custom shooting modes → auto update set.). If that's set to disabled, then you'll need to manually update the C3 mode to include the video rotation setting. When in the C3 mode, go into the menus, enable the video rotation setting, then go to the custom shooting modes menu, and use the register settings entry to update the C3 mode. One other thing, the C1-C3 settings are saved separately for photo and video modes; which is confusing. If you set the video rotation in C3 in photo mode, it won't be changed in C3 in movie mode. I don't think either the gimbal or the firmware had anything to do with this. I'm running firmware 2.0.0 and my camera rotates the videos properly.
@@PointsInFocus i set the video rotation on every mode in the camera. i reset the camera few times and then did it again and still no change. it would make sense if it happened after i changed a setting but it randomly started doing this. im going to connect the gimbal again and see if , while connected to gimbal via wire, if i enable the setting, maybe it'll work?
It's worth a try, and it can't hurt anything. Plus I'm out of ideas otherwise so... What media player/NLE are you using to playback the footage on your computer? The camera never rotates the video on the playback so you'd never know there. But I'm wondering if it's writing the metadata out correctly and it's not being picked up on your computer for some reason.
does the m50 have this?
Unfortunately, no. It doesn't look like it.
