Phil Crean Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Anyone here using the R5? Have you had issues with unsharp images whilst using the IS and mechanical shutter? Did you solve it? And if so what worked? Thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... seen this and also on canon rumours site, and am playing with different settings including EFCS. It's a weird effect and I'm astounded that Canon have not addressed it. The latest firmware update a few days ago did mention that an IBIS issue was corrected but I can't see an improvement using the mechanical shutter at slow speeds... Any other users input would be great... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hi Phil, I have had the R5 for a few months now - I haven't noted this problem, but I almost exclusively use EFCS or Electronic shutter. I have joined a few FB Canon R5 and R6 groups, if you were to post your question on there I am sure you will get useful answers!. https://www.facebook.com/groups/canonr5/?multi_permalinks=546277626579596 https://www.facebook.com/groups/canonr5shooters/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147128648982709/ The first is probably the best and most active though it is mainly american users.

Phil Crean Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 @Doc Looks like EFCS and IBIS set to "Shot Only" has sorted the issue for me. Shame that Canon can't get the IBIS to work with Mechanical shutter... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
