EOS R5 Mark II Limited Images with Focus Bracketing

[JosephKeel]

I am unable to get my Canon R5 M2 to take more than four images in a series and all have the same focal point.  The camera is not stepping back to infinity in spite of 50 images set, smallest step increment and a large aperture.  I have updated the firmware to 1.1.1 which changed to problem from only being able to get three images to only getting four.

Any solutions, recommendations or thoughts?

Well…  that is the explanation!!!   I restored the prior settings from a saved file on my card and…   the Continuous Shot count had a limit set of three.  Once reset, I was able to shoot images based on the Focus Bracketing exposure setting.

If Canon is listening…  enabling the ‘Focus Bracketing’ mode image setting should override the ‘Continuous Shot Count’ while active.

Thank you all for your time and attention!

WooHoo! You are welcome, and I'm glad that solved it.

I agree that focus bracketing should override "Limit continuous shot count". My guess is it's just an oversight by the programmers 🤔
