Hello,
I have some issues with my Canon R6 Mark II I just purchased and I wanted some advice on what to do.
Key issues:
- Lightroom tethering doesn’t work
- EOS Utility doesn’t recognise the camera
- EF2R lens adapter requires taking on and off each I want to switch lenses, because it loses AF
- Rattle noise inside the camera is unsettling (IBIS)
My usage/requirements are:
- Product photography with a macro lens
- Tethering to Mac (Sonoma)
- Using it as a WebCam on Zoom calls
- Travel photography occasionally as a hobby
- All my lenses are EF
I’m not sure if I should keep the R6 MII or downgrade to a more recent R8, which is cheaper and for my usage I might not see the difference?
I was also wondering if you had similar issues with R6 MII or R8 and if you manager to work around them?
I would appreciate your advice.
I do not use Apple computers. I do not like their predatory business practices.
Your Key Issues
- If the camera is not supported by Lightroom, then that is an Adobe issue
- Make sure the wireless communications are disabled. Airplane mode is not enough. One some computers you need to manually start the application on the first attempt to use it.
- I leave the mount adapter on the camera mount to change lenses. You should always turn the camera off when you are changing lenses.
- I have never noticed a rattling noise on my copy.
Downgrading your camera will probably not fix EOS Utility issues. There has been a long history of Canon apps not working after Apple upgrades or updates the Operating Systems. So changing cameras will probably not solve anything. It is my shallow understanding of the most recent issues associated with Sonoma is that Apple has added a feature that disables your USB ports.
