I’ve been a long time loyal Canon user. I have to say that the fact that the crop mode (1.6) on the R series does not have a screen display icon or any other way of alerting the photographer that this feature has been selected is maddening and bewildering. Camera users are NOT going to remember this feature has been activated if they put their camera away quickly for whatever reason and take it out the next, a week or several weeks later. The result (especially on a lower MP camera like the R6) is that you end up with an entire shoot (sometimes in locales you have paid thousands of dollars to travel to) of 7.7 vs. 20 MP captures. I sincerely hope that in the future, Canon fixes what I see as a major design flaw. I will NEVER use this feature on this camera (R6) ever again until it is remedied. Thanks.

You might want to make sure you are in one of the creative modes and press the info button a few times.
