EOS R5 Mark II: "HDR Mode" menu option from R5 went missing

[PerryO]

The R5 (mark I) had an "HDR Mode" item on the Red Camera 5 menu. An HDR Mode (for stills, I can find the Movie one) seems to have gone missing in the R5 Mark II.

Anyone know what's up?

I've gone through the complete menu and manual without finding it or any mention of a replacement.

Maybe it has a new name to differentiate it from the HDR/PQ mode for displays. It might be a scene mode.

Any idea what that new name is? Or what menu its hiding on? How about a page reference in the manual... I went back and looked through all the menus again and I'm still clueless.

I don't have an R5MkII.

You could give Canon a call at 1-800-OK-CANON.

I have also looked and it's definitely gone missing, and there is no similar mode that captures three images and makes a composite from them. You can capture three images in sequence using auto exposure bracketing, but will need to create the HDR version from those in some software later. The HDR PQ mode captures a single image with extended dynamic range suitable to HDR displays, and images will be saved as HEIF or RAW format.
