As a long time still shooter, I am a newbie to shooting video. Looking for advice on R5 setup. Interested in all advice - frame rates, resolution, everything - but specifically how do you set up AF. It’s so different from my back buttons set up for ...

I have received help with this before here, but now I cant figure out what I have done wrong. I have set up triple back button focus. I have full zone tracking on the AF On button, a zone on the asterix button. Both working fine. And I have the po...

I knew how to do this and now I forgot. When setting up my custom shooting modes in C1, C2, C3 I am going through all camera settings for each mode and saving them. But I recall that there is a way to set up most of the global settings to apply to al...

My R5 is set up with 3 BBF. One is full frame, other a small zone and other spot. Eye detection and subject tracking works in full frame but not in zone or spot. Is that feature only available in full frame focus?

I have my R5 set up for tripple back button focus, full frame eye detection on the AF On button, zone on the * button, but on the AF zone button I can't get it set to spot focus. It will only go to full frame focus. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you SO much, You have me switching to 8k for the reasons you explain. Makes sense, for sure. Unfortunately, however, my R5 will only shoot 8k at 30fps, I believe. I see that the mii can do so at 60 fps, which is great, as I like at least some ...

Esimavi Thank you! This is the kind of help I'm hoping for. Some questions: I, too, am set to use the full are focus and tracking. It works, most of the time. But I am also setting my camera up to be able to switch to a zone, when needed. Do you fi...

Brian, I don't know if you are still here - but I figured something out that may be a step in the right direction. I am able to get the three focus modes that I want, full, zone and single point. It still wont give me spot, even though I have AF met...
