Add C1-C3 Custom video settings on R6 PLEASE!!!!

[dfran1992]

So I just got my R6 and I figured this would have been an easy thing to change, seeing as the option is greyed out in the settings. How can we get the attention of canon to change the R6 so that I can use the C-modes as custom video profiles? This is a very annoying thing to have to deal with coming from the EOS R. to be more specific, I want to be able to set C1 to 4k24, C2 to 4k60, or C3 to 1080p120, but you can only set custom shooting modes. A very frustrating decision by canon

Wild how this is still an issue. Honestly my R6 has become a stay in the house camera for me. Last time I used it for video was at the zoo with my kid and has been mounted since then. I ended up getting the R7 which has these modes but recently I’ve been just considering getting the Sony Alpha C or FX30 for video and selling off my canon. This company is no longer consumer focused unless people get pissed enough to not buy the camera. The R6 doesn’t keep people from buying the one with more capability and if anything it stops them from becoming a customer. No one’s caring about your color science anymore, it’s the value and so far Sony is providing WAY more value for the camera without artificial limitations like customs controls. I even laugh at the thought of telling someone, you can’t use a feature because we believe you don’t want that here. The R7 does it so why not? If anything someone will find a way to hack it eventually. Surprised this has gone for years without resolution.

this is one of the lamest excuse i even seen. seriously is that so difficult.  have you ever wonder why people are moving to other brands when it comes to filming. look like canon is falling far behind  because of engineers and product designers

[amkarman88]

wooow. Your reply is Iconic. 

Consumer demand is there 
Customer feedback is there
technological is there

Your excuse is technological limitations, whereas technological advances are already there, or shall we say, Canon engineers and product designers are no longer capable. These features are already there: 4k24, 4k60, 1080p120, they need to update ux UI interface in the Canon R6 to set up with C1 to 4k24, C2 to 4k60, or C3 to 1080p120. But seems like that is so difficult for Canon engineers and product designers. It is an easy fix for the Canon R6 Mark I.

No wonder so many videographers move to other brands.

The reason they won't fix it has nothing to do with technological limitations. They just want you to shell out another $2,000 for the R6 MKII. Sadly, I was stupid enough to fall for this because I needed to have these specific features for a project. Canon has always crippled their own products by restricting capabilities that would undermine the structure of their product lineup. Especially when it comes to their flagship cameras. I bought the R6MKII and I've never felt good about that decision. It has bothered me so much so that I have since sold all my Canon gear and I will likely never own any again. I should never have done business with a company that repeatedly and intentionally tries to screw over their customer base time and time again. I have since switched to Sony and I'm not looking back. Besides they have way better right to repair standards than Canon and that alone is a win to me.
