Re: New M6 Mark II with some questions

Hello @RLight, yes, I realized yesterday that 20% of the battery from my iPhone was used by the Canon CameraConnect every 24 hours. I was researching a little bit and I had the option "begin logging" enabled.

I really do not know what is "begin logging" doing, but if you disable it the gps will still sync correctly as soon as you are in bluetooth range of the camera. So the battery issue is not an issue anymore. Battery was draining around 1% per hour and now will drain only the time the camera is active. In 1 hour session I expect to drain a 1% of the battery.

I miss some good documentation about the app. It is not clear for me some aspects. For example if I shoot only raw and send the photos to the iPhone. Will be a jpg created? What properties will have this jpg, same as shooting in jpg mode?

Regarding the shutter, makes sense that if at some point is broken, that you can still use the camera in electric mode but probably there is some build logic that force you repair it. Almost every brand have very clear how to do programmed obsoleteness and I would not be surprised if this is the case. But again, there is a good documentation from Canon explaining this edge cases.
