Just some good old fashioned feedback. I just got my R5 and im missing a more snappy activation of the R5 EV. So I have a suggestion for your development team, more on that below.
I work conference and sometimes you have to react very fast if something interesting happens that you want to catch. So I find that when i put the viewfinder up to my eye it takes too long for the EV to activate. Im waiting for the activation for maybe 0,2 seconds, which doesnt sound like a lot, but with the old DSLRs you are able to see through the viewfinder before it reaches the eye, so you would basically be framing/thinking about the framing already before the viewfinder reaches your eye. In total this is maybe half a second lost, which is not optimal.
(NOTE: I have the LCD screen always off, except for when i push the menu button, then i use it for settings in the menu)
So I have a suggestion, why not let a half press on the shutter wake up the EV? Then you can activate the EV while raising the camera. Seems like a no brainer to me, but maybe there are some complications i havent considered. Anyway just some feedback, have a nice day.
