EOS RP control ring.

[busyretired]

Got my new EOS RP with 24-105mm F4-7.1 lens.

I'm three days into the learning curve with (so far) just one roadblock.

There are no clicks when I turn the control ring, also control ring functions aren't working.

Is my control ring disabled?

If so, how do I activate it?

TIA, all.

A focus ring is not supposed to "click".  Why do you think the control ring is supposed to "click"?

From Canon USA - cost to change control ring click sound.

What is the Control Ring’s Clicking Sound Modification Service?

Canon’s control ring’s modification service offers RF lenses and Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R owners the opportunity to remove/reapply the control ring’s clicking sound.

The click action of the control ring allows the user to have a sense of how much it is being turned. However, if used during video shooting, the sound of the control ring operation may be recorded.

Pricing

Model	Price*
RF Lenses	$79.99
Control Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R	$59.99

That illustration is not your lens.  I do not think your lens is able to be modified like that.  I am also certain that the "declicked" control ring is by design.  After all, it is a focus ring.  Most RF lenses have BOTH a control ring and a focus ring.

Your lens only has the single focus/control ring, which appears to serve a dual purpose.

[On lens has two control rings, and the other lens only has one.]

I finally got it solved - this lens has a switch on the barrel I didn't notice.

The front ring functions either as a control ring or focus control depending on switch position.

It works fine as a control ring now but doesn't click like other R lenses.

It must come from the factory with the click silenced.
