Using Canon 18-135 and PZ-E1 with EOS R, Canon BR-E1 will not control zoom
Using Canon 18-135 and PZ-E1 with EOS R, Canon BR-E1 will not control zoom
May 10, 2019
Ok here we go, this is a strange one and I've been in contact with Canon but so far they cannot find a solution.
I have a Canon 18-135 Nano with the PZ-E1. On their own connected to my EOS R, they work fine. If I try to control the zoom with the BR-E1 bluetooth controller, it will not operate the zoom. I do have the controller paired as I can start / stop recording (or take pictures) but I cannot get the zoom function to work, which the BR-E1 claims to support . At first Canon told me it wasn't compatible until I pointed out that their own website where you can buy the BR-E1 claims compatibility. I also recreated this on a Canon M50 but it's possible the BR-E1 isn't fully compatible with that camera.
Does anyone else have this combination? Or better yet, does anyone know a camera where this combination (Canon 18-135 w/ PZ-E1 and zoom control on the BR-E1) will work?
