In manual focus you have options of 5× or 10× magnifiers. I assign this to my SET button at MENU > CUSTOM3> Customize buttons > SET > Magnify. Now just tap SET and it toggles among 1×, 5× and 10×. Ideally I'd prefer that all cameras simply provide a complete range of manual shutter speeds out to 18 hours or so rather than forcing us to piddle in menus, but as of 2023 Bulb timers are state of the art.
Neither Nikon nor Sony can do this at all, but Canons can show you live RGB histograms in Live View. On the R6 MarkII you can run through the menus with the touch screen, or use the thumb nubbin. Push-in the nubbin or press SET to select things. Silver Lake, California, 11:45 A.M., 14 October 2023. Canon EOS R6II, RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM at 14mm, f22 at 1/30 at Auto ISO 100 ( LV 14), Skylum Luminar Neo. More tech details. bigger or fit-to-screen. Shutter closes with power-off to keep dust off sensor when changing lenses. Even better, a menu option(MENU > WRENCH4> Shutter at shutdown) lets you choose if the shutter stays open or closes when turned off. Canon says it should work with any of the new included LP‑E6NH, the LP‑E6N or even the ancient LP‑E6 batteries, although I don't know if it will charge in-camera with Canon's LP‑E6N or LP‑E6; I haven't tried.
Try this new Fv ("Function Value") exposure mode right between the AUTO and P settings on the top MODE dial. I love it! Thankfully the built-in sensor-shift stabilization just does its thing in concert with whatever stabilization the lens may (or may not) have without any need for adjustments or settings. Does 4K (3,840 × 2,160) and 1,920 × 1,080 video, but no 8K DCI (8,192 × 4,320), 8K (7,680 × 4,320) or 4K DCI (4,069 × 2,160). Here are different crops from the same images as above, now showing the dark grillwork of the fireplace.
Unlike Program mode which resets any Program Shift as soon as the meter turns off, Fv settings don't reset even if you turn off the power. Your settings stay until you clear or reset them yourself. Canon's EOS-R system's menu system and in-hand-feel and overall ergonomics are way superior to anything from Fuji, Sony or Nikon. Especially with current BMPCC cameras it would not be any problem to fit a bigger battery on the handle, I really hope BMD will in future use batteries that provide at least 60 minute runtime.
LP-E6N
or otherwise the focus ring is always ignored in AF. Canon should have it set this way by default, but they didn't. No big deal now that I figured it out. New AF priority modes of Railway, Airplane and Horse. So? I shot these all just fine in the 1990s with my Nikon F100's AF-C mode, no special settings needed.
Great Deal
