EVF exposure simulation anomalies
Re: EVF exposure simulation anomalies

I just got off a chat with Canon support regarding a "flickering" in EVF of exposure simulation. At random times, the simulation darkens considerably, only to correct itself in a few seconds. No settings change during this anomaly, I am literally following live action and zooming in/out as needed. All settings in camera are in Manual mode and hard set (I don't want the camera deciding things while shooting). The only variables are zoom and autofocus - venue lighting is not changing.
Canon's final reply was, "Based on your response I can confirm that this sounds like the camera metering the exposure and is normal operation for your camera. If you'd prefer to minimize the effect you have the option to disable exposure simulation."
Which to me does not sound like the optimal solution. I explained that I've only seen this begin to occur over the last few shoots - I've had the camera for over a year. Canon also advised that if I believe the R5 is malfunctioning, I can send it in for repair, which is certainly an option, but I am unable to depart with it while in the middle of a very busy shooting season.
Anyone else have any experience with type of issue?
Thanks in advance.
I've not seen this with my R5, I have exposure simulation active all the time. Are you on the latest firmware? - maybe worth a try if you're not yet on v1.7.
