If you are using the Canon EOS R6 M2 along with the BR-E1 wireless remote, you cannot fire the camera without the timer delay making you wait 2 or 10 seconds when the camera is set for AEB shooting.
For example, AEB is set for 3 frames with 2-stop exposure values. The Drive Mode is set for a 2-second or 10-second delay. The BR-E1 remote side switch is set to <●> Immediate release; however, the delay occurs even when the remote is set to "immediate release". If you set the Drive Mode to a single shot, the trigger will fire the camera, but this is not the setting you can use for AEB shooting. This is different than my DLSR, it works as expected and documented. Setting to multiple "continuous" shots does work (sort of), but I need to be sure all bracketed exposures are taken because sometimes even when I am in a different room. (It can be hard to know when all three brackets were taken.) With the R6 M2, the switches on the remote behave the same and not as the documentation states. This seems to be a Firmware defect.
How is this a problem?
When taking AEB exposures of interiors on a tripod, the delay is undesirable and costs time over many AEB exposures.
Summary:
- Canon EOS R6 Mark II, firmware 1.5.0
- BR-E1 Bluetooth Remote set to <●> Immediate release
- AEB configured from 2, 3, 5, or 7 brackets
- Drive Mode set to Self-timer: 2 sec, or Self-timer:10 sec
- Fire camera with BR-E1 remote and Self-timer: 2 sec, the 2-second delay triggers.
