Anti-flicker can slightly slow the rate of shooting as the basis of it is to wait for the conditions to be ideal (lighting-wise).

I don't know if EFCS has a risk of banding, but I'm with the previous poster, mechanical shutter is the way to go in artificial lighting. Additionally, as you mentioned the anti-flicker setting ...

It has IS but its odd because the RF 85L has no IS and still got the 8 stop rating. They mentioned it had more to do with the image circle and the freedom they have with massive circles and I can't...

The only lenses I've ever touched that perform better than this are big and white and cost about as much as a fairly nice small car.

I'm trying not to ever touch that lens. G.A.S. will take over and common sense will be in the wind.

I used to feel the same way, then I dove down the rabbit hole and popped out the other end feeling different. The light loss of nearly a stop is too much to wipe away, as well, to see the non-DS ...

Yeah, the RF 85L is something special.

I think you are referring to the turtle mode (12 FPS).  That's would make sense, as the slower you go, the longer the card has to catch up. I'm referring to the challenging speeds of the ...

More speed is always welcome, and if its anything like the recent R bodies you'll get a little more control of it too (3, 15, 30fps on the R7 IIRC). No doubt it will add other little improvements ...

Canon offered a global shutter on one of its cine cameras years ago, but it cost more and had less dynamic range (I believe it was 2 stops). I believe they have come up with ways to mitigate the DR...

I get what you mean, but I'd hardly say the R6 had lackluster sales. It took the better part of 6 months to be able to buy it off the shelves, and more than a year for stable inventory.

I'm thinking they didn't plan on a substantial update in the coming years because they they didn't have much in the pipeline as far as new features so they stuffed all the current updates in this ...

I actually really like using Touch and Drag but honestly, the AF is so good that I almost never use it. However, Touch and Drag is a lot faster for me and surprisingly, easier to be accurate. Like ...

Honestly, seeing how you are set up, it would be very easy to miss. I've always felt like the R5 can miss targets by being oddly sensitive when using that type of AF. I would suggest using the ...

Thanks BerndSimson & mvert,

Does it require special hardware after the image has been processed?

Is there a value to this lens for still photography other than the double imaging? On VR videos, you can merge them and get an effect, but for stills I would think merging them would only create ...

I would suggest using the small zone (or custom sized zone) with Subject Tracking on. You can make the zone very small, very large or any where in-between and allow the camera to track the subject ...

I've seen threads complaining about this with third party accessories. Do you have a third party adapter (if the lens is not a RF-s)?

The 300L IS is just a better option. As someone who had and liked the 400 DO, I simply wouldn't suggest you make that change. I felt the DO stood out with its AF speed, but that was it. The DO is ...
