Usage Precautions (EOS Ra)
Solution
- Camera operations are essentially the same as for the EOS R. Refer to the included EOS R Instruction Manual (booklet). Additionally, you can download the EOS R Advanced User Guide (PDF fi le) from the Canon website.
- Before shooting, check for any EOS Ra news on the Canon website.
- Display in magnifi ed view switches from approx. 1× to 5× to 30×, which differs from maximum magnifi ed view on the EOS R.
- When using autofocus (AF) to focus, consider using magnified view to check the image.
- More exact focusing is possible by using magnifi ed view with manual focus (MF).
- Even if
: Retract lens on power off] is set to [Disable], focus reset operation (lens retraction followed by extension) may occur automatically when the power switch is changed from <OFF> to <ON>, depending on the lens used. If focus reset operation occurs, recheck the focus before shooting. - Irregular colors may occur under some shooting conditions in long exposures and at high ISO speeds.
- Zooming during bulb exposures may cause a loss of focus. Use a shooting mode other than [BULB] if you will zoom during exposure.
- Focus may not be adjustable during bulb exposures, even by turning the lens focusing ring. Use a shooting mode other than [BULB] if you will adjust the focus during exposure.
- Noise in your shots may increase due to image sensor heat if, for some time before shooting long exposures, you record movies or leave the camera in standby.
- Noise will increase when taking a long exposure, or shooting repeatedly.
- It is recommended that you take some test shots to check in advance how noise increases in the image.
- Battery consumption increases when you mainly shoot bulb exposures. Carrying a spare battery is recommended. If household power is available, consider using AC Adapter AC-E6N and DC Coupler DR-E6. Note that continuous bulb exposure shooting for approx. 7 hr. 30 min. is possible with a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E6N at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).
- When using a telescope, set : Release shutter without lens] to [Enable].
- You can use the same software as for the EOS R. For details, refer to the EOS R Instruction Manual (booklet) or EOS R Advanced User Guide (PDF fi le).
