Hi,

I have a question about my R5. When I want to take a picture (In AV mode) in a dark theatre for a performance, when I half press the shutter button the image through the viewfinder lights up the picture fully and my eye gets flooded with (overexposed) light. When i fully press the shutter the picture is ok and also according to my settings, but why does the half shutter button over exposes the light through the viewfinder so much.

I have no flash connected and or setup to take the picture. The photo is also ok, but somehow the camera keeps over exposuring the viewfinders when the shutter is half pressed. In the end when shooting many photo,s this is very aannoying because it,s like watching into a weld flame.

My previous camera was a Eos 70d which didn`t have this ( i think it,s a function).

Hopefully someone recognises this. I tried turning of exposure simulation however that did not solve the issue.

I haven't really seen this when using the R5. Do you have the shutter button set to initiate AF? If so, it sounds like the bump in brightness may be something to aid AF. Do you have it set to servo AF? If so, try setting it to single AF and see if it makes any difference.

I have switched from Servo to single AF, but still get the bump in brighness in the viewfinder.

Thanks for helping out.
