Yep. Fortunately, I use back-button AF. I just have precapture on all the time, and half-press the shutter when I want to use it, full press when I don’t.

You can expect the 8k60 performance here, as the camera will have to read out the full sensor for downsampling at 60fps.
Additionally the processor will have to work overtime to downsample and compress.
So probably even less time than 8k60. And if you don't consider the temperature of the camera hot as hell at this point, I applaud your resilience to heat, but that is besides the point.
We shouldn't expect 30+minute Videoclips in 4kfine60. That's what I meant.
We all know what happens when fanboys get excited and then served a realty check afterwards. The forums explode in doomsday comments

I love it when people smarter than me make my life easier by pointing out obvious solutions.

Yawn....it looks like this firmware is for videographers....soz...no interest. Now...if it had the abailty to remap the custom buttons to a one push pre-capture mode...maybe it would stir a bit more interest in me.

The rumoured addition of 120fps in crop mode is a welcome one! A few days ago I wanted to have some clips of wild hares playing in the fields, crop mode would have filled the frame a lot better. In the original R5 crop mode video was actually resampled, I hope the 120fps will be resampled as well, it provides a noticeable boost in usable detail, which is welcome when filming things like dragonflies.

\"APS-C full sensor recording in 17:9\" - I\'m not sure I understand this.
How can you record full sensor and APS-C at the same time using FF camera? Plus full sensor but 17:9, while sensor is 3:2.
Someone explain this to me please.

Canon should bring us at least 1 or 2 f/s RAW file photo in dual shooting mode, even in 1080 / 30... We are still using a lot of time 1080 format... Everyone knows about it and there for, in this specific model of Canon R5 MII Canon should bring us update so that we can make a RAW file picture in dual shooting mode while we are recording a video. We do not need to be super fast, but at least to get 1 RAW file in 1 sec... Many of us do photo and video at the same time, and there for we need it.

Well the R5II is a new camera body, it is expectable that not all possible video modes are implemented at the time of release.
By the way 4K60 is already implemented, 4K60 downsampled (= HQ) is not (yet) implemented.
As mentioned, I expect heat generation and therefore max. recording time somewhere between 8K30 and 8K60. Of course, the sensor has to capture 8K60, while downsampling to 4K60 is less computationally intensive than full processing of 8K60 (= 4x the data of 4K60), also writing to the card is only 1/4 for the same codec, consequently the card will most likely not overheat.
Note that with firmware 1.6.0 or later installed the R5 (Mark I) records 4K24 HQ longer than 8K24 (see //community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R5-firmware-1-6-Overheating-Fixed/m-p/380097):
Auto power off temp = Standard
4k HQ 23.98 warning @ 31m 02s, shutdown @ 40m 18s
8k IPB 23.98 warning @ 25m 50s, shutdown @ 33m 57s
Auto power off temp = High
4k HQ 23.98 ran for 3 hours, no warning or shutdown, gave up
8k IPB 23.98 ran for 4 hours plus, white warning after an hour or so, red warning intermittent, no shutdown

They hopefully have fixed EVF eye focusing or however it is called. My eye does not seem to fix on a particular person the focus as advertised. Very rarely it succeeds in that. Even after calibration.
And basically all features are only VIDEO oriented. :/

I'd like to see the ability to turn on de-squeeze viewing in the viewfinder and back panel for anamorphic lenses.
I'd like this capability in both video AND STILLS.....as that I've gotten to where I really like shooting panos with anamorphic lenses.
I'd think this would be a simple fix....?

The cinema line supports already for video, so hard part is done already. I don't know how hard it is to forklift that bit from the Cinema EOS OS to the regular EOS OS.

I'd not think it difficult...like you said, the heavy lifting is done...
OH well, hoping they read here or listening, I've seen others requesting this for other cameras, etc.....even trying to get Capture One to have a De-Squeeze setting....which I hear they're actually working on, so you can do a full RAW workflow with anamorphic lenses...
I guess it's finally getting more popular since the lenses are becoming available more and more at reasonable pricing....

Would you mind describing how this works in practice a bit more? If precapture is always on, don't you virtually always get at least a couple shots before you fully depress the shutter?
