Mine shows size of 67835 only difference I can see. Maybe format your card in camera. Download again firmware to your computer and ONLY copy fir file onto your SD card.

I assume windows? I just updated mine with zero issues.

No screenshot on your message.

Is the file that says .fir show when you view the contents of the SD card. Not in another folder, but on its own?

I use manual with auto ISO almost 100% of the time. With modern cameras, ISO is my least important setting. I use EC to adjust for backlit or other tricky light. For me, the wrong shutter or aperture can ruin a photo. I can work with some fairly high ISO if shutter and aperture is where I want or need it. YMMV.

Great series!

I agree on the Canon Camera Connect. I have been using it with my R5 and R7 with good luck. Also agree pairing is a little tricky at first, but after getting it works very well and it is free.

It is very easy to be confused by all the different opinions. And remember , it is opinions. I used to use EFCS 100% of the time on 6d MK II and 90D, 80D ect. I did the same on R5 until a friend touted the ES. I think it is possible to get blurry shots with mechanical shutter slap(or EFCS), but it is not the norm, IMO. On rolling shutter and ES, I have only seen it in a small minority of my shots, and it is when I am very shaky or panning very fast on a moving subject. Now I mostly use ES unless I have a reason to use EFCS. On buffering, on the R7 if you hold down the shutter and blast as fast as possible for several sec onds, you can experence. I think I have only had that happen twice, but I don't blow and go a lot. Too many shots to cull for me.

Thank You mikey! When you go to my Flickr Photostream, if you click on the individual photos, the page will show what camera and what settings. I was on a kick for a while after getting the R7 to use it more. Now I seem to be going back and forth between the R5 and the R7. Your idea on the R7 is solid, and it is what I got one for. I take a lot of photos I don't put on Flickr because I use a free account and there is a limit.

Thanks lorvy,

I like the extra reach at times with the R7, but the R5 files can be very good. Both very capable cameras.

I have the R5 and the R7. I also have the 800 f11, the 100-500 and the RF 1.4. If you want to see examples of the RF 1.4 on these two lenses and these two bodies, look thru my Flickr photo stream. I interchange all the time, and will say the 1.4 is very good on these two lenses, but lens is slightly better without it, as would be expected. The shooting data is on 95%+ of my shots on Flickr account.My Flickr address is below my name. My Youtube link below has videos with these bodies and lenses, but I don't think I call out which I use there.

Took about 20 seconds on each one on the 3 I tried in Lightroom.First look did a good job. I also own Topaz and DXO.

Thanks to all who commented. I appreciate each one!

Bald Eagle and setting moon. I took this 12 minutes after sunrise after I arrived at one of the Bald Eagle nests I am following earlier this week. Near Hannibal and the Mississippi River.

Lightroom has handled my R5 CRAW files with and without EC no problems for 2 years or so. Even yesterday. What size have you got your preview set in import?
