| p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · R6 Mark II sticky shutter release in continuous shooting mode? | |
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar situation with their R6 Mark II (or any other R body):
Camera set to H (not H+) advance rate in EFCS to get ~7fps. Sometimes I want to shoot brief sequence of 2-3 frames with some subject content variation between the frames (sports subjects) and sometimes I want to just fire a single frame. I find this fps rate to be a good sweet spot.
On rare occasions, when I press the shutter release to do a single frame with the above configuration, the camera will fire an additional 3-6 frames. It's obvious when this happens because I'm no longer actually pressing the shutter release, yet the camera is still capturing images. I'd guess it maybe happens once every few hundred frames, but is not consistently spaced. Sometimes it happens a few times per game/event. Sometimes I can go multiple games/events before it happens. Each game/event is typically around 150 images.
Sometimes it appears to happen when I 'stab' the shutter release - push it harder than normal when a sudden moment of action occurs that I want to capture as a single frame. But this is not always the case.
The specific sports application where this occurs is mostly vertical images. I initially thought maybe there was a problem with the BG-R10 grip's shutter release button, but it recently also happened when capturing a horizontal image using the camera's shutter release button. For it to be a problem with both buttons IMO is rather unlikely. One thought was that the shutter release buttons are able to register the amount of pressure applied and when a sufficient threshold is reached, will determine that a sequence rather than a single frame is warranted. But I don't recall seeing any documentation related to such a feature and kind of doubt it's the answer.
I haven't noticed this behavior on H+ where I'm typically intentionally shooting longer sequences and not trying to squeeze off single frames (and usually in full e-shutter). But maybe it happens there too. Unfortunately I can't test this in 'live' situations because it will create too many images for the end use (there is no time to do additional culling).
I'm guessing the likelihood of someone else experiencing this will be remote, but thought I'd ask anyway.
