focus still look off to me. looks like it hit back eye

This is the way love using these cameras. First time use in a wedding session (not a wedding). They married last thursday and did not have a wedding at their wedding. They had everyone used their cell phones and quickly regretted that decision. They had contacted a colleague but he could not do the session for the couple as he was booked with something for today. He sent me a message to see if i had an opening and luckily i did. BTW i took my Godox equipment but this time i used the v860II to trigger both my AD360II (used one here) and i had no ISO issues 350+ shots with the EOS-R. The ISO jumping issue, at least with my camera, is with the X1T. I will share more of this session as i go through them. I had nearly zero missed focus shots other than thw ones i made with my own mistakes but this AF system is absolutely amazing.

For those of you using Godox triggers with the EOS R, I have a solid workaround with only two downsides. First, you loose HSS. Second, you loose (some of) the simulated exposure in the EVF (a positive in some situations).

Whatever is causing the issue of resetting the ISO to AUTO (1600) is coming through from the four non-trigger pins in the hotshoe. By covering those pins, the bug goes away.

I've experimented with two solutions. First, you could cover the rear four pins by placing a thin sheet of plastic between the hotshoe and the trigger. Or, if you are paranoid about that like I am, use any cheap eTTL passthrough shoe and place the plastic between the upper hotshoe and Godox trigger foot.

Or, buy something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/​gp/product/B004G47I7O/

That makes the Auto ISO issue go away.

It also makes the wake-up feature go away. So you have to set the trigger to stay awake. I get about 300+ images before I need to replace the enloops (rechargeable AA's) in mine.

The camera also looses the Exposure Preview function if ambient is too low, because the EOS R cannot detect the trigger. In studio, I don't like that so I turn the exposure preview function off and the EVF then shows me a consistently well lit screen for composing the image. But, and here is the great part. When mixing flash with ambient, you can do what I truly deeply wish had have been possible from the very beginning - you can see the Exposure Preview for the ambient, while also using a trigger. So, want to see where the ambient shadows fall so you know where your subject should face/pose/move? Want to tweak exposure so rim light is perfect, hair glowing, nothing clipping? NO PROBLEM! Then just add flash as needed. I cannot see how Canon overlooked this, but suspect it was because so few people would benefit. I am sure a feature like that will make it into a Pro R body.

Anyway, there's the workaround for now. When I need HSS, I'll go back to my other failsafe - I shoot with image preview on in the EVF. There's a setting so you can see the last image until you press the shutter half way. It gives me the chance to review the image for a half-second or less to confirm that the exposure isn't blown. Then I move on.

Hope this helps someone while we wait for Godox to hopefully update firmware to fix the bug...

I don't use these but thank you for taking the time and sharing the info for those who do.

First you said front eye, then you said back eye... Are you judging focus or just trying to bring a shot down? As far as I know this is the same photo and you've given a technical analysis that they are incorrect in two different ways so what gives?

FWIW, I think your shutter might be too slow causing a bit of motion blur if that fox moved a tad.

You are probably correct, because it was a spur of the moment shot. I just threw the camera up without thinking about too much. Just trying to get the little bugger.

Its clearly a tighter crop IF its the same shot.....so closer in means a better look on a net size file that you cant zoom in and see whats really going on----thats what gives

Take a chill pill Einstein. Focus looks off to me. Cant tell where it hit and I wasn't there to see what he did. Thats why Im asking about this. I have EF primes and want them to play nice on an EOS R mount

I prefer the whole body of hair in focus. But focus may not be the entire point.

Look at the shutter speed. If that's hand held with a 135mm lens, could it explain part of the story?

Looks like he just seen the Easter bunny.Looks spot on to me but i just got a expensive hobby

You caught me!

Finally. something Green !!

I am tempted to do the same, along with my 24-70L II and pick up a RF28-70
