Anyone use Dual Pixel Raw on their 5DmkIV?
Shooting 4 weddings in August and I am thinking I will enable that 70meg dual file beast for those F1.4 shots with my absolutely terrible focusing but incredibly sharp Sigma 50mm Art lens.
I am noticing that my "perfect" rate is really low at F1.4...but over 1/2 are within acceptable range of the "eyelash to catchlight" zone.
DPR should allow me to dial it in?

Looking for anyone who has tried it in a run and gun situation and whether it made a difference when you got to PP to save a few....

(and yes, tried live view, zoom to focus (too slow for my workflow), tried microadjustments with Sigma dock and in-camera - that frickin lens is random!! (and it was my 2nd copy, the first was worse.)

I played with it but couldn't see much difference. What you are going to use it for would make the most sense. It will only correct an eyelash amount of focus correction so you have noting to loose trying it. After you choose the one you like it DPP, just save the image as a tif or dng and and the process it like you normally do.

This technology is in it's early stages. Under controlled conditions you might be able to move your area of focus to a better spot but at the expense of large files. You're better off learning the autofocus system and learn to nail focus instead.

Don't expect any miracles, the changes are very minute ( in the fractions of millimeters)! And if you do weddings, it's not worth your time, as Photoshop does not support it as of yet. You will have to process that in DPP, so it would totally ruin any workflow!!

From the model designation, can we assume you're talking about Canon here??

Is this a new technology for them??

It would be good if someone could explain to the rest of us what is going on here.

If it was me, I'd experiment a lot before I used it commercially.

Agreed
Would only turn it on for those F1.4 shots which will only be about 5-10% of the shots....and usually portrait, artistic getting ready shots. Will use my other glass that has razor sharp focus for run and gun and family shots.(2.8 to 8 aperature) ßwhere you have a bigger DOF range. Using DPP to create a TIFF file and then add to LR should be a smaller hit to the workflow.
