No option to add either the EF 1.4 or 2x III extender to gear list. I use the 1.4 w/ my EF 100-400mm and it always shows up here as shot at 560mm.

Therefore, there is no hope to add my Yongnuo 2X extender, which is excellent with the R6II and the EF 70-200 f2.8 MkII. It was optically good with the 60D and 5DIII, BUT, it misreported something and was messing up the light metering. I had to underexpose by 2 stops to get the right lighting. In the R6II it works flawlwssly without a need to underexpose!

And it was dirt cheap!...

Yes AMASS picks up the focal length, the only way to show the extenders seems to be to add as a new lens with the extender.

Looking back at old posts with the 200/2.8 2xII it always just shows the focal length (400mm).

So this is the intended function.

Gets a bit confusing with zooms however as the with and without focal lengths can overlap.

This is why I added it for the 100-500 with 1.4x.

Those "should" work on DSLRs, but on a mirror less with an adaptor probably need to add the lens plus each extender as a separate item.

Can you link an example of both with EXIF intact?

Here are examples of the combo on the R7.

Hopefully that is what you were asking for.

This is the EF 100-400L II and the EF 1.4x II on the 80D. Do I need to do something different for the extender to show up? I didn't see any EF extenders in the gear list yesterday.

Looking at the gear list it appears that the only teleconverter listed is the RF 1.4. The only lens/ converter combinations listed are the RF 100-300 + 2.0x and the RF 100-500 + 1.4x. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe that the forum software treats the lens+t/c combos as a separate “lens”. So no other combinations will show up in EXIF right now. I also think it’s fairly safe to assume that if the focal length shown exceeds the maximum for the lens, a t/c was used.

Agreed, however not all TC images exceed the native lens length. The last link is an example of this.

I would have no problem manually choosing a lens/TC combo from the gear list when/if it exists.

I agree. Entries for both the EF and RF 100-400 lenses with t/c would be helpful. Questions about all the zooms with the t/c are common.

Thanks, Lester. I brought a 1.4 extender but it stayed in my bag the whole time. It's crazy how close you get to these animals. I did bring my 15-85mm just in case I needed something wide but that stayed in my bag the whole time mostly as well.

Sunsets can be good I hear.

Always wanted to go but probably too old and fat now, don't do well in heat"

I have tried adding. Getting the correct string can be oddly tricky.

Try adding "EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM +1.4X III" and "EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS II USM +1.4X" to your gear list.

Electronic 1st Curtain H+ Burst Issue

I had to send my R7 to Canon Service for the second time recently, after returning from a three-week trip to the Midwest. I was having three issues: the camera ignored which SD card I selected for saving photos to (and was inconsistent with its own selection), the shutter would occasionally continue shooting for several shots after I removed my finger, and electronic 1st curtain shot at about 7 FPS even though I had H+ selected for burst rate (should have been 15 FPS). I got it back about a week ago. They ended up replacing the circuit board. I've shot about 500 photos since it was returned, all in H+ and electronic 1st curtain. So far there have been no issues with the SD card selection and the runaway shutter button, and mostly with the burst rate. I had an issue yesterday that ruined the streak.

I have only one LP-E6NH battery, but I have a bunch of LP-E6N's from shooting 7Ds and 7DIIs for the last ten years. After shooting for about an hour yesterday morning and the previous several mornings, my LP-E6NH needed to be charged, so I swapped it out for one of the LP-E6Ns. A photo opportunity presented itself, so I took the camera outside and began shooting the Carolina Wren that had shown up (having changed nothing else). The camera again was slowed to about 7 FPS. I was dismayed. I tried cycling the camera off and back on with the same result. My immediate thought was that the new circuit board had gone bad and the camera was going to have to be sent back for a third time.

Before calling Canon Service, I ran through the questions they were likely to ask. Since I had swapped batteries, I knew they would ask if I was sure the battery wasn't the cause, so I replaced the fully-charged LP-E6N with the depleted LP-E6NH and tested it again. To my relief, H+ was restored to 15 FPS. This morning I tested three other LP-E6N batteries, and all worked fine. At least three of the four batteries are the same age and have had roughly the same degree of usage, including the one that caused the problem.

I would have thought that any compatible battery would work as expected, regardless of the age, with older batteries going dead sooner. Apparently, at least in some cases, that's not true. I hope my experience will save someone out there in the community the expense and inconvenience of unnecessarily sending their camera in for service.

If I remember correctly, there was talk of the slower rate with the slightly older style batteries when the R5 came out. It might have also been in some of Canons literature.

What you are experiencing is exactly as the manual indicates. A fully charged LP-E6NH is required to get H+ speeds. Using a different battery or an unsupported lens may result in lower shooting speeds.

There's a thread specifically discussing what affects the availability of H+ speeds: https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1527872

You're lucky that you get the higher speeds out of any of your LP-E6N batteries.
