Canon R5 Ii Manual

Works with the Canon R5, as documented by the manual. The W and T buttons naturally don't seem to do anything for the R5, but that has nothing to do with the remote itself.

Just what I need for my new Canon R5 Mark II, these are fast and run much cooler than SanDisk.

This sharp and well-built lens attaches to my Canon R5 without an adapter. REMINDER: This lens is entirely manual and has no electronic contacts. Therefore there is no communication between the camera and lens. The Canon R5 is unaware this lens is attached. Therefore, you MUST set 'Release shutter without lens ON.

Like all of David Bush's Guides, this manual explains all of the available function settings of the camera. It's easy to understand what the various settings actually do and how they can best be used. David's setting recommendations for various photographic situations are excellent starting points. The R5 & R6 are sophisticated computers that happen to record images and video. Virtually all controls are programmable and there are many interactions between control settings that are not noted or explained in the Canon provided User Guide. This manual is necessarily large because of the R5 & R6 complexity, but does explain how to optimize settings for your needs and preferences in reasonable detail. This is the manual that Canon should have included with every R5 & R6.

Overall worth it if you have manual focus guide on your camera like Canon R5, its so easy to nail the focus every time. Just beware, in Photoshop there is no profile for this lens but there is one for Rokinon SP 85 f1.2

I purchased this lens to use with a Canon R5 primarily for astrophotography. It communicates with the R5 with an adapter so there is a manual focus target and peaking. After two sessions it seems sharp and lots less coma distortion than another 20mm lens tried. The focus lock has been especially helpful for astro.

I recently purchased the Canon R5 Mark II and wasn't sure if the BR-E1 Wireless Remote Control would work with my camera because it's a new model and was not on Canon's compatible list. I took a chance because I knew I could return the remote to B&H if it didn't work. I was also a bit leery because the directions for the remote said it only worked with single shooting. But that was not true, it also works with continuous shooting. Pairing the remote control with the camera was super easy because the R5 Mark II actually had a menu setting specifically to pair with the wireless remote control.

This rig has been reviewed hundreds of times and I'm not sure I can add any superlatives to what has already been said. I figure this model will be discontinued in favor of mirrorless so I got one while they're still available. I would prefer to tweak this thing, but at the request of B&H I'll offer what I can. After six weeks or so I can't say I've seen the best it has to offer just yet. I live in the Ohio valley and it rains almost daily and when it isn't, heat haze and humidity are present not to mention the smoke from Canada. Like all cameras I own I've got duds and winners from this one too. As stated I can't add to what's been written, but I can compare it to my inventory of digital cameras. It seems to focus better that my D750 BUT it doesn't seem as good in low light. It will AF on par with my D500 AND allow cropping without falling apart as fast. They make a great wildlife combination. It AF better and beats my Canon 6D II in resolution, but it's a newer rig. The same with my Canon 7D II. It like the D500 being a crop sensor won't allow cropping as well. The AF on the D850 is clearly superior to the 6d II and the 7D II. It falls a bit short against my Canon R5. The AF on the 850 may be a bit better due to the R5 wanting to hunt. The resolution of the R5 is in another league as is frame rate and other features relative to mirrorless. As of now I'd rate the R5 better BUT it's early and I haven't tweaked the 850 as yet. IF your willing to give up mirrorless features like lighted viewfinder and reviews from it and the raw speed of the mirrorless, I believe one can make this rig work.

This card will hold about 20,000 Canon R5 Mk II pictures which is good enough for a decent trip. So far no issues with reliability and while no were near the fasted cards available they are great for the price.

I use a Canon r5 camera that uses both CFexpress Type B and UHS-II (SD Type) memory cards. The reader reads both cards and works well with the USB cord that is included.
