Hahaha. I was lost too. I sent you a PM about it. Something was going on with the Sanddisk card I was using. The R5 gave some read errors a couple times, I reformatted, and it would work on and off but it was a really old card. I switched back to my Prograde cards and everything was fine. I don't know honestly will test more to solidify all this.

It works... Not sure what was going on. I needed to confirm a few more times. Anyone that updated can follow this up to echo but seems like its ok.

Not sure what witchery is going on now but if you want to keep your battery pull abilities Hold off on updating. It seemed to work when I tried a few times earlier, but after using the R5 throughout the day trying different modes... dont update, and if you did... MY BAD.

Battery pull thermal timer workaround still works.

on it now.

I updated the firmware this morning then repeated old external test. Recorded 4K HQ externally for over an hour with no card in camera. After 1hr 16 minutes passed I stopped the external recording, and inserted CFexpress card. Once the R5 booted back up the counter said 20 minutes. Showed 25 minutes after shut down for less than 5 minutes. So it seems the external recording is still good.

Hope they dont sprinkle in a little more cripple

Who here with an R5 is gonna be the first to update? After all this, I'm feeling like I may need to move slow with R5 firmware updates. No formal response, but just the firmware update that they mentioned before we call came to know what we know now. 🧐 They might try to low key close some loose ends.

They barely even spoke of stills during the promotion of the R5 so no that isn't sufficient. They sold us video.

"Let's just say I did a favor for Elon Musk and he Musk give us 8K now."

I like the unified cage by wooden camera... they do have some B-stock that are marked down on their site. https://woodencamera.com/products/b-stock-unified-dslr-cage-small-wood-243600?_pos=5&_sid=d1ae16fe2&_ss=r

In ProAv's Q & A video, Mehdia Mehtal spoke about unlimited recording externally as long as camera was powered by the mains. She said you wouldn't have to worry about limits, externally but emphasized mains power. She also spoke vaguely about Canon lifting time limits at some point. EXIF data on the camera after recording hour straight in 104 degree Texas heat ( direct sunlight ) didnt go higher than 65 C, and after instantly switching to internal recording the camera acted as if it hadn't even been powered on prior with full times available in all desired modes. Camera was very hot to the touch as well. It also seemed to cool down very quickly as EXIF data showed it was at 30 C within 14 minutes.

I thought so. You're welcome. 👍

He's in the US I believe, and received his pre-order.

I was talking shit... but really even if they dont acknowledge him, I'm sure they know him, and if they do nothing it wont change the fact that there are many "youtubers" creating videos based on his write ups, all while many R5 hopefuls are still waiting on their R5 pre-orders. Even Matti is talking about canceling his order. LOL

We see Matti mentioning EOSHD, and the other Youtubers are using his articles as reference for uploads, Canon might be trying to figure out how to get Andrew on the team.

I actually have the R5 and a set of RF lenses, so I can personally confirm the behavior of the cameras overheat protection protocol is questionable. I've seen it throw the warning at idle, and in the menus. I've used it with the ninja V for over an hour continuously and after it became really HOT, switched over to recording internally in HQ modes with full time allowance as if the camera had never been turned on prior to internal recording. It puzzles us all but I'm certainly not going to buy a C300 mk iii or a RF cine camera in an attempt to fulfill the void in what they sold as the R5.

Very weird... Speaking on the external recording, He actually says 'we don't know if it has potential to damage your camera, and please do keep that in mind' I guess if Canon doesn't speak to it, the shops have to say something to their customers.

'People that tend to do more stills than video work, but still do quite a bit of video work, this is going to be great'. another quote that stood out... the problem with these kind of statements is, its not what Canon said the camera would be! I remember DPreview, and Canonrumors were full of frustrated photographers feeling left out because all Canon was promoting on this camera was the video specs of this so-called hybrid.

I agree, I usually like their videos... but you pinpointed my reasoning for posting this video here.
