Canon EOS R Series Cameras

Recently got the R5ii after about 3 years of using other brands, i forgot how loud the IBIS is in the EOS R system cameras, especially the R5ii, in a quiet room it is very noticeable.

Quick one. I tend to use Fv Mode quite a lot now, flexibility mainly, so i dont have to keep changing modes. Not sure its FV specific but I am slightly confused about Canon's metering... on my 85 1.4 i tend to shoot at the smaller F numbers but my camera seems to meter for the lowest ISO possible, so I'll be focusing on getting the shot on an effective AV with auto ISO and Auto shutter but my camera seems to think i want to shoot at ISO-100 1/100s and F1.4.... I've missed so many shots since I got it because of this... Its at a point where I have to compensate for it and make sure I concider it and set my shutter manually, not a problem when I remember but when i forget... had it a few more times at the weekend.

Any suggestions on why and how to avoid? (other than the obvious shoot manual, move off auto ISO etc...) just seems a bit wierd as to why it does this?

It sounds like the Canon Fv logic is trying to get the lowest ISO for hand-held static subjects. Try increasing the minimum shutter speed setting?

If I’ve understood your question correctly (I don’t know what fv mode is).

You can set a minimum shutter speed for auto iso. That way you never get inappropriate shutter speeds. Mines set at 1/250. And if I need higher than that I choose TV and select my shutter speed (usually for sports)

Sounds like it leads to frustration and missed shots. It is so quick to change iso with the wheel. Stay in av like everyone else who needs consistent results and all will be fine
