I tested the AI Focus, the newly added feature to the Mark II. The idea is to let the camera switch between one shot and Servo.
It works surprisingly well, when you focus and recompose it acts like one shot but when the subject moves it acts as Servo.

Nicely done Canon.


I believe the 5D series DSLRs have this feature. At least my 5DsR had it for sure.
I even checked the manual just in case https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/9/0300018669/05/eos5ds-5dsr-im6-en.pdf page 86.


While looking at the LCD panel or in
the viewfinder, turn the dial.
One-Shot AF
AI Focus AF
AI Servo AF


The original R5 did not have it


Yep, that's odd, right? Apparently they decided to resurface the thing from DSLRs.

Have you tried to shoot soccer with the new action mode yet?

It's a fabulous lens. If you don't already have them, get at least the 1.4x TC, which I found essential for field sports, at least on 24MP. I did not see any drop in image quality compared to non-TC images.

I'll be interested to see your results and thoughts on how the AF system compares to the competition (a9III) for sports. Be sure to shoot some with fast ball action to give an idea whether the 'slow' stacked sensor (compared to the competition) has any real world impact on fast object distortion.


The lens should be here tomorrow!
I got both TCs, and I will definitely try the 1.4x because it'll be close to what I currently have with Sony (400GM).
The R3 (rental) was very close to the A9III hit rate at 30fps, so I'm expecting the R5II to surpass, but we'll see... I'll report back on Sun/Mon.
