Canon EOS R5 Bird Eye Autofocus Testing w/ EF 100-400L II – Carolina Wren through branches!

A more taxing test of the Canon EOS R5’s Bird Eye Autofocus, shooting through branches and wires.

All photos were taken using the EF 100-400L II lens plus the 1.4x III Extender, mounted with an EF-RF Adapter. The Camera was set to 12FPS H+, Mechanical + First Curtain Electronic (not the 20fps full electronic) shutter mode.

Screen capture was recorded using an Atomos Ninja V.

All of the stills taken over the course of this test are available on my website: https://avmfieldguide.com/canon-r5-animal-eye-autofocus-tracking-carolina-wren-through-branches/

Canon EOS R5 4K/30 Crop (5.1K Oversample) vs No-Crop Side By Side Comparison

This is a side-by-side comparison of two of the 4K/30 modes on the Canon EOS R5 – one using Movie Crop mode to produce 4K oversampled from 5.1K, the other using the full-sensor 4K mode. No color-grading, sharpening, or other image modification was used, beyond the informational graphics. Field of view matching was achieved by setting up two R5s (each with an RF 800 f/11 lens) at different distances from the subject. Both R5s were in Movie Servo AF mode with Animal Eye AF active – any focus discrepancies between shots will be down to the AF choices each individual R5 made from moment-to-moment. Settings: 1/60s, f/11, ISO Auto
