CANON EOS R6 : Video AF test | liewwk Nature

Both the still and video AF performance are different in almost all the camera. Here is one of the video AF with

– CANON EOS R6, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– Tripod

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

 

 

The AF seem slower lock focus to the object compare to still AF. which normally require 1-4 seconds to lock the object. After locked focus, the tracking seem work well but still 20-40% chance lost focus especially bird eye/head not detectable. But it will get the object refocus very fast as long as we able to follow the bird movement.

CANON EOS R6 AF test1 : Capability find the bird | liewwk Nature

After use the powerful R3, which it is almost not missing to find a bird when the bird within the sensor. (we dont use AF point to focus to the bird but let’s the camera to find the bird/bird eye and lock focus than track). Glad that I am able to get R5/R6 for more test on this entry level of full frame camera.

I am trying to sharing different kind of environment to lets the Camera find the bird itself and this may keep update later.

Condition 1 : Bird with contrast again Backgroung

– CANON EOS R6, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– M mode, Auto ISO, F5.6 (biggest aperture), 1/200

– Handheld

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R5/6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

 

THE FOCUS almost immediate lock on the bird head/eye and track.

#

Condition 2 : closer Bird with lesser contrast again Background

– CANON EOS R6, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– M mode, Auto ISO, F5.6 (biggest aperture), 1/200

– Handheld

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R5/6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

THE FOCUS almost immediate lock on the bird head/eye and track.

Condition 3 :further Bird with lesser contrast again Background

– CANON EOS R6, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– M mode, Auto ISO, F5.6 (biggest aperture), 1/200

– Handheld

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R5/6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

 

THE FOCUS require a bit time to look for a bird but very quick to get the bird focus locked and track on the head and eye

#

Condition 4 : small bird low contrast over the similar and messy Background

– CANON EOS R6, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– M mode, Auto ISO, F5.6 (biggest aperture), 1/200

– Handheld

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R5/6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

THE FOCUS almost not possible to find the bird (trying to moving the camera at various position of the sensor). What we need to do just move the focus ring so the focus area near the bird than very soon it will be get the Bird/Bird eye focus and track.

R3 can easily use eye-Control AF to resolve this or I found R3 capable to find the even at this kind of environment.

#

Condition 4 : very small bird with contrast

– CANON EOS R5, CANON EF 500mm F4 IS2, CANON 1.4x, CANON EF=EOS-R adapter

– M mode, Auto ISO, F5.6 (biggest aperture), 1/200

– Handheld

– AF method  : the only method using Full sensor area in R5/6

Face+Tracking

– Subject to detect : Animals ; Eye detection : On

THE FOCUS almost not possible to find the bird (trying to moving the camera at various position of the sensor). What we need to do just move the focus ring so the focus area near the bird than very soon it will be get the Bird/Bird eye focus and track.
