My bet is you "assigned" it but did not save it by using the Wrench#5 "Register Settings" to one of the Custom Modes. If you don't register the saved settings to C1-2 or 3, the camera will default ...

Have to laugh at this! (No disrespect meant Abbott :) ) The bleeding manual is what 900-plus pages? I have had my two R5 bodies quite some time now . . . 1-2 years. And there are still settings I ...

While my experience with Topaz is limited, it seems like many other packages in that the user can choose how much to de-noise and how much to sharpen, from zilch to "way too much!" The names given ...

Ahhh . . . I see now. Thanks for the explanation.

Would someone care to explain this "pre-burst" feature as I do not understand it. The camera can not be prescient, after all? And that is what it sort of sounds like. How can it start to record ...

My take on the great grip/no grip debate . . . . I've used a grip. I've used lenses as large as an 800/5.6 Nikkor and a 600/4 Canon. The grip issue never arose with these lenses. I have no idea ...

Well, while I will not be trading one of my R5 bodies in on an R7, I am considering preordering an R7. Why? That is a question I find hard to answer. "Because I can?" "A new toy?" Maybe. I ...

How do you do that? Amazon and keep sending 'em back? A camera store opening multiple boxes for you? In my, admittedly limited, world, trying multiple copies is just not something that can be done.

Not sure it can help at this stage but Duade Paton has released a video of his expectations for the R7. Link . I remain undecided as to whether to preorder one to complement my pair of R5 bodies. T ...

All this verbosity will soon become moot when a couple of birders get their hands on an R7 and do a shoot out. What I expect will be the outfall will be: 1/ The differences between an R5 and R7 on ...

While I appreciate the features of the R7, specifically the "more pixels per duck" than the R5, I do not see offloading either of my two R5 bodies for an R7. Now, had I but a single R5, I might ...

Yep. In a nutshell, that's what I wanted. Of course it would NOT cost 1499USD, but that's OK. As it is, I am undecided about getting an R7 to complement my R5 bodies. Might wait to see about the ...

No big deal but as one considering an APSC R7 to use for birds, I would have preferred it to have the same layout as my R5 bodies as much as possible. I don't quite get that doing so would somehow ...

I own two R5 bodies at present. Birds are about my only real interest for a "real" camera as opposed to a smart phone. Prior to owning the EOS R (since sold) I have used crop bodies. (D60, 20D, 40D) ...

Personally, I love getting head shots of birds! Even small birds! Maybe, especially of small birds. So, I find the RF800 f/11 is my most used lens. Almost always with a tube on it to get around ...

I am a former Nikon owner. Back in the day my birding lens was the ED800mm f/5.6 Nikkor. Been with Canon some 20 years now. But, while I too am not a fan of the Z9 form factor, the PF800mm lens ...

Affinity Photo, FastRawViewer, DPP(occasionally) and TopazAI Sharpen and Denoise. Migrated from Adobe after about 20 years and never going back.

Maybe I do too much pixel peeping but I am very disappointed with my Sigma 14/1.8. I am used to astro APOs and expect round stars in the corners. IMO, the Sigma does not measure up. Sure, it can be ...

I can understand jumping from one platform to another for very specific reasons. Fer instance . . . if a fast 14mm is important to you, you might dump your current gear to be able to use the Sony ...

LOL! Indeed. I was one of those people who switched N to C for precisely that reason!
