EOS R5 known bugs

[JRogers67]

Just looking for a place where known bugs are listed. Is there such a thing? I've noticed some peculiar things and don't want to add to the forum noise for something thats already been addresed or even posibly working as intended.

Thanks!

Well, if you can provide me with a link to report this common problem on the R5 , I surely will report it. I look forward to your reply

Unsurprisingly, the Support phone number is on the Canon Web site.

No one is answering surprisingly enough

Friends, I did report the problems I've been having to Canon support (via email).  I got a prompt reply from a tech who read my report of problems (as in my earlier post).  He was responsive and polite.  He had no solutions but said he would forward my account of the problems "to engineering".

Quite obviously the R5, wonderful camera that it is, is not *quite* ready for prime time.  I'd advise against relying it as your sole camera on assignment until the problems have been addressed with appropriate firmware updates.  I haven't had a chance to retest with firmware 1.1.1.  But, based on the reponses above, it's probably not bug-free just yet.

Can't wait for that happy moment.  It really is a wonderful camera.

I just had the same thing happen with my EF100-400L. Had to take battery out twice. Shifted to RF70-200 and no issues.

I had similar problems 😠

It still happens on my RF70-200 . This major issue is not lens specific, its a faut with R5

It looks like there is a bug in FV mode, where if you set values for the Shutter/Aperture/ISO it does not start metering.

If you have any of the Shutter/Aperture/ISO set to Auto, then the meter is Auto and becomes exposure compenstation.  But when you do not have anything set to Auto, it should start metering so you can balance the exposures as if you were in Manual mode.  If FV mode would enable metering, then I would be able to use FV mode full time instead of Manual, as it would switch from manual into AV/TV/etc when one of the values is set to Auto.

It would also be useful if there was a setting such that in FV mode you could use the 3 dials similar as to Manual mode to adjust the Shutter/Aperture/ISO instead of using one dial to select Shutter/Aperture/ISO and then using another to adjust the value.

The freeze/ lock up issue appears to point to the main circuit board which needs replaced according to several online friends. Unfortunately the Canon repair centres dont have any spare parts!
