Canon officially announces the Canon EOS R5 Mark II
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Setting it to H in EFCS helps, yes. It makes it wander a bit less which increases the amount of shots that have critical focus.
But we shouldn’t need to do that!

This might be a negativ point of the R5mkII compared to the R5:
Canon Germany compares the battery life of the R5mkII with battery grip and LP-E6P to R5 with LP-E6NH.
R5 mkII seems to be hungry, very hungry...

The fact that they needed a new battery that could deliver twice the current while keeping the same capacity should've tipped us of already

If your R5C has fan noise something may be up with it. You can hear the fan running in idle but it slows down when recording to be imperceptible at least on my unit. Thats in contrast to the R52 fan grip which runs constantly, is pretty noisy by all accounts and doesn’t let the camera run indefinitely just slows down the overheating by 4x.

No, it doesn't.
I have never touched an R5 II so I can't compare the noise.
We will know in a few weeks.

The R5II manual shows a bit more nuance, you can select both 'off' and 'stop' to stop the fan from spinning if you wish: https://cam.start.canon/en/C017/manual/html/UG-07_Set-up_0250.html
It doesn't seem to have an "off till you actually need it" mode, which is a shame. And as you say, it's not as effective as the fans in the Canon C series.

I believe it is a miss on Canon's part not having a mode that lets the fan run full blast when not recording and automatically slows it down when shooting to reduce the noise. Thankfully this will not affect me as I do not record video with my camera, if I do shoot video I use a separate camera, one that is a dedicated video camera.

It seems the firmware team didn’t look at cine firmware and never asked their coworkers for input. Or ran out of time and implemented the bare minimum.

Perhaps they can do a firmware update and add that as a feature later. I do not plan to hold my breath in anticipation of that however.

I try very hard to buy electronics for what they can do at that point, not what a future firmware might bring. I'm going to hold off buying the cooling grip till I find out I actually need it, for example wanting to mix video and still when sitting in a hide during summer.

true, I have ordered the standard battery grip, not the one with the ethernet port, mainly to reduce the number of times I need to change batteries and for the reason I shoot all my runners/track athletes in portrait rather than landscape to get the whole runner in the frame and not just a torso or a really zoomed out picture. Having the grip helps me hold the camera better because of a bad shoulder from an accident a few years ago, surgery can only do so much.

I teach courses in the IT field and have worked in it for decades, you would be surprised at how often these teams of programmers do not elicit ideas from outside sources before writing their code and making features available to the end user. Those decisions generally come from management, unfortunately not all managers are good either.
