Canon EOS RP EVF Stutters when AF hunts for focus point? Normal?
1

Hi everyone!

I am new to photography so sorry if this is a dumb question, but I recently bought a Canon EOS RP and was just wondering if this is normal?

So when I focus with autofocus my screen starts to stutter, seems like its only when my AF starts to look for a focus point but it cant find it (due to high contrast I suppose), but is it normal that it stutters like this?

Here is a example video I made (its streamed from my camera, but its exactly the same on my camera no delay or extra stutter created by the wireless conncetion): https://youtu.be/6fHpSLIoGoU

Hope someone knows if this is normal or not!

Kind Regards,

Julian

You are not giving it much to focus on, mostly the black, flat side board of the bed. Try focussing on something with contrasting shapes and colours, and I think you will not have this problem. You might also try different auto focus patterns rather than “spot focus”.
