Hanriverprod Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 He’s not trying to kill anyone. He’s trying to scare everyone. Looks like Canon got caught with their pants down again. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to be recording when you pull the battery possibly? It's worth another look. Quite a few variables and ways to do it. I haven't had the time try everything to be honest. The guy on YouTube has tried pulling the battery during a recording, and got 5 mins remaining. I also got 5 minutes remaining, but stopped the recording first. I thought at this point, if the timer is in RAM then it should go up to 20 mins in 8K not 5. Then I went out and had an ice cream with the girlfriend. So tomorrow maybe I should put more effort in!?

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 23, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2020 Magic Lantern just became Magic Screw. Tried the second test differently. Found a way to get the full record times back: https://www.eoshd.com/news/canon-eos-r5-so-called-overheat-timer-defeated-by-a-single-screw-in-battery-door/ You're only supposed to blow the bloody battery door off!!!!

Well I guess that settles that then. Nice. IMO I bag you pardon, maybe it would be better to involve some more time to really investigate where all of this one and thousands similar cases are proved to be pure sad true? If you have a will, I can provide it to you, but not here to further contaminate thread already polluted with superficial news level. I think, It's surely not at all about someone's favorite side (dirty and immoral ones are everywhere the same) - which you introduced with something that has to be a provocative joke and default fact - but about favorite and really independent state of mind. And of course, my big apologize to you and all others - it is always my dilemma weather to answer to something I feel as superficial provocations that sometimes arise at inappropriate place. Maybe just only to remind all of us (with me as so sadly often first-place-candidate!) and add suggestion at called-out level of picture-to-picture answer User 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll find something that future us's can't live without. 16 stops of dynamic range or vastly more efficient codec are 2 obvious ones. Metamaterial lenses, 16k VR, allowing reframing, lightfield capture.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm absolutely not saying that. Someone else might say that. But, just to be clear, I'm not saying that at all, OK? If there was a way to feed the correct time and date, and saved settings back to the camera that would be niiiiiiiiicer BTM_Pix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is awesome. 😁. Aren't $4000 cameras that you have to hack just to get them to do what it says on the tin brilliant? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. Not that very practical while shooting though, unlocking smartphone, making connection, opening app, pushing the settings. I power off my camera a lot while shooting to save battery.

So you don't mind having to format your cards in a PC, jamming a screw into the microswitch of the battery compartment, making a sacrificial recording while ejecting the battery and reconstructing the files on a PC later but you draw the line at switching the wifi on ? 😉 Only kidding. The entire process of getting around this is currently impractical but if it ultimately ends up with Canon stonewalling the issue and not fixing it with firmware then my point was that there is a method there to restore your settings if the only solution ends up being the data clearing internal battery reset process. Call it doomsday prepping if you will. Although, for what its worth, if it does prove necessary then I can use the same principle to do this with a small hardware box that plugs into the USB port and does it that way so at least we can take the wifi/smartphone step off the list.

sev7en Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I continue to read and see youtube video about and I am wondering... Why Canon is still waiting to reply? The strange is that... https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/au/news/canon-eos-r5-outsells-everything-in-japan Quote That's according to sales data compiled by Capa Camera (by way of Canon Watch) for the first half of the month (the period from 01-15 August): 01 – Canon EOS R5 02 – Sony A7 III 03 – Sony A6400 (Lens Kit) 04 – Sony A7 III (Lens Kit) 05 – Nikon Z 50 (Double Zoom Kit) 06 – Sony A7R IV 07 – Nikon Z6 (24-70mm Lens) 08 – Nikon D6 09 – Canon EOS M50 (Kit Lens) 10 – Nikon D5600 (Double Kit lens) How that is it possible?

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 26, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2020 Japan camera sales are in a world of their own a lot of the time They're not very representative of the overall picture. The EOS R5 is the new hot thing (literally) so it is going to sell well at the start. A lot of Canon users out there. A lot of 5D Mark IV owners looking to upgrade for stills and get into mirrorless cameras. A chart only tells you the relative story The absolute story at the moment is one of dire sales numbers due to the pandemic, almost everywhere you look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
