I shoot 100% in manual mode on my new Canon R6 Mark II with RF 70-200 f4.0, and for the most part, it's 100% on indoor arena lighting. These are the three bugs I've run into daily, although they are hard to replicate—the camera and lens are both on the latest firmware.
Bug #1
When I shoot a burst, I follow this routine when given a break in the action.
- Shoot burst (either mechanical or electronic)
- Tap on the Play button to review images
- Use the scroll wheel to find the best image from the burst
- I then "protect" the image. I mapped the * button (AE Lock button) to the Protect option.
- I then "delete" a different image in the burst and select "Erase scene including image."
- I then get a warning, Erase all images from 100-8733 to 100-8745 (except "protected" images)
- Remaining pictures are deleted (sometimes)
This workflow works incredibly. However, I've noticed the odd time. It will not delete all the pictures in the burst. The burst no longer appears when I scrub through all the images on the camera. However, the burst sometimes appears when I download the pictures to my computer. I routinely do this to 200-300 bursts a game. But the odd time, it doesn't work.
Bug #2
The electronic viewfinder will go dark randomly and then super bright, again same indoor lighting.
Bug #3
I've seen on two occasions where my highlights get blown out. Again I shoot 100% manual. It was a weird situation as the pictures were previous and after had perfect exposure.
Have you run across any of these bugs or something very different?
I haven't experienced these bugs, but I've had numerous camera lock ups. I would suggest trying different SD cards to see if it's a card problem ?
I've had the viewfinder go super bright, overexposed, and am unable to get the camera to respond to any adjustments and had to turn it off and back on to get things back to normal. I was in a hurry to get the shot I wanted so I didn't check to see if it was a viewfinder. malfunction or the camera.
This has happened twice. I was outdoors photographing birds. Took a couple of photos and then the next time I lifted the camera the viewfinder was bright and wouldn't respond to adjustments.
I had the viewfinder on the brightest setting. After the latest incident I set the viewfinder to Auto and will see if if happens again. If it does I'll take a photo to see if it's overexposing everything or just a viewfinder malfunction.
Other than that I haven't had any lockups.
