Nice shot! Thanks for sharing

Taken just before sunrise on a foggy morning. The high ISO of 12800 helps give it a pastel effect.

Took the camera out yesterday to try the FW update. It worked great! (My pictures were crap, but that's on me). When viewing the pictures in camera, there is a red square on my focus point. That's new...and cool, but was this already a thing or part of the update?

I skipped 1.5.1 maybe it was part of that?

That’s beautiful, Charles. Such lovely light.

Mine was up to version 1.5.0 already, so I updated the firmware to 1.5.1 before updating to version 1.5.2. The camera seems to be working fine, although I didn't follow one of the steps of the installation instructions to set the camera to P mode. It was on Av, I believe.

Canon firmware updates are not cumulative. They are each all-inclusive.

That box showing up is a setting, I believe. I don't remember exactly where it is. I know it is in the app(s).

Laura, the red focus point, that’s a setting. You can find it in the blue menu (#3), last tab: “AF point disp.”

Thanks Levina. I really was lucky the other morning. I was looking at this amazing light driving through the bush and thought, “Wow, all I need is a subject” and the next thing you know I came across a small pride of lions backlight in golden light.

I think the R6 is going to be my next buy for camera gear.
My 90D is great but it just can't get me to where I need to be with it being a crop.
Luckily it seems the EF-RF adapter will allow me to keep my lenses for now.

I just need to save up for a little while, I guess....

If it makes you feel any better, I could have probably had either one. Having said that, I wouldn't trade my R6 for an R5 scotch-even if somebody offered. I simply don't want to deal with 45 meg RAW files and two different card types. Would I like to have the top screen and the other video modes (like Tx, Pr and Ap)? Absolutely. but honestly those are the only features the R5 has that I wish I had. I miss them a lot from my R (which I still have), but I got over it. Other than that, I'll keep the change.

Oh. BTW. I don't own an RF lens. Don't care. I've had the R and all my EF glass and a control ring adapter (now 2) since the R came out and have never longed for an RF replacement for anything, except maybe the 70-200 2.8 but it has nothing to do with image quality and everything to do with size.

Hearing that only confirms what I wanted to hear. Thanks!
I’ve always invested in good lenses and from what I’ve heard about, it’s a seamless integration with the R Series.
