Using the same exact one... have one of these on my R as well....

It's great, although the screen protector is there, it looks as if nothing's there but the original touchscreen.

Can it be easily removed as well (if needed) ?

Yes, with a careful and gentle peering at the corner edge with a razor.

I have been afraid of using them ever since a friend had a bad experience on his Sony.

What was the bad experience?

That's the scary part...
Of course we can't do this with articulating screens, but for 7D2 and 5D3 I have the screen covered by protector (with a frame) that hangs from the view finder.

After a year or so use, he had to remove it as a small section came loose. It left behind a residue of sticky stuff that he damaged his screen trying to remove. So about 20-25% of his screen had a damaged section that was not clear. I do not know what he used to remove it. He is a pretty careful fellow.

That's terrible. Unless the screen was exposed to hot sun for a long period of time, I don't see how it can leave any kind of sticky residue when no adhesive of any kind is used. Perplexed.

Does it do this even when Continuous Focus is turned off?

The menu based "Continuous Focus" was off if thats the continuous focus you mean. However on the R5 Canon state if an EF lens with IS is attached to the R5 the lens IS is always operating regardless of camera setting except when totally turned off . If you meant AI Servo ffor "continuous focus" ...yes it was on. Also the IS on the lens was on 1. with full range focus set. BTW since that one time it hasnt happened again. Maybe it was just a micro chip error and it shat itself for a few seconds until it came good. Who knows. Everything has chips these days and like my damn laptop and phone etc its sometimes hard to diagnose when it has a fatal error .

You know you can set "Still photo IS" to Always, or to Only for Shot, right? When set on Always, the IS works incessantly. Drove me crazy untill I found out the Only for Shot option. You can find it in the first menu, tab 7.

i actually turned the IS switch to 3 and fixed it that way...Didnt know about the other ,,,,Option 3 on IS though was right under my nose for at least a month and didnt realise I could do that until I had the problem and went looking for answers! .....I think I also need to get into the Canon support area more often where Canon technical bulletins come out as they have been issuing some lately due to many questions they have been receivingof late. because I found a few bulletins on various things like EF lens that are compatible for the 12 FPS for mechanical etc. Although whats worrying on that was on compatibility side for the 12 FPS there are 2 Canon bulletins/ technical releases that conflict with each other on ef400mm f2.8MII being capable . Someone raised this over at at Fred Miranda when I initially looked it up as the first Canons list I saw it was missing ...then when I checked the Canon Canada or Europe( cant remember which one it was now) bulletin it was on it. That surprised me given the Japs normaly like to control these sorts of releases!....Anyway definitely more reading required by me on this body thats for sure

Cheers

I noticed it doesn't do this in IS mode 3. It stops after a few seconds.

Update: I just turned on IS on my 300 and woah that thing is whirling. I don't know if I like that. Is that good for the IS to working constantly like that? I'm joining the camp that wants Canon to allow us to control this feature.

Yes..that sound it makes is quite disconcerting actually iff you had what I had in respect to the weird sound it made . Ive asked the CPS guys and they know nothing ....Infact the CPS guys know very little about any technical things on any of the cameras Ive had over the years ......And trying to get a Canon tech to talk to here is an exercise in futility so I suppose I just have to keep checking on all the forums until I find an answer

Cheers

On my EOS R cameras, EF lens IS does turn off when both the EVF and rear screen Live View are off. That is to say, when there is no operational through-the-lens viewing occurring, including when I'm viewing a menu. Is that not the same on the R5?

I messaged him, and he said at that time ( maybe 5 years or so ago) screen protectors had an adhesive of some sort on them , you peeled off a protective sheet and applied. I would guess maybe the new ones would be much safer.

Okay, that now makes sense. The one I used has no adhesive of any kind.

At amazon, one of the picture shows some peeling layers on both sides. What are those?
