Notice any improvement in AF? Did you notice anything at all?I installed it, the camera hasn't exploded yet.
I didn't test small subjects, but taking a few indoor test shots didn't seem any different than before the upgrade.Notice any improvement in AF? Did you notice anything at all?
Same for me. Tested on a small subject (stuffed animal) where the AF wasn't able to pick the eye. No difference between 1.6 and 1.7Notice any improvement in AF? Did you notice anything at all?
I've noticed with my 50 and 85 1.2's sometimes get some hunting on small objects with more defined objects behind them. It would take me focusing closer and then back at that object to try to snag it. Hopefully this fixes that but I'll test after work today.Same for me.

Yeah, this update could help with wildlife subjects, such as small birds in front of busy backgrounds. Have to test it out.I've noticed with my 50 and 85 1.2's sometimes get some hunting on small objects with more defined objects behind them.

I just did a quick test shot at dusk with 1.70. Don't take the quality of this seriously as it was at iso 10k and 1/100s at 500mm and a distance of 14m, conditions where it won't be sharp. But, you can see the AF set to eyeAF and full screen tracking just locked on to a tiny bird, mainly horizontal and not much contrast with the background. I don't seem to have AF problems that others report. Here is the full frame, reduced to fit, and a 100% crop around the Longtailed Tit.Yeah, this update could help with wildlife subjects, such as small birds in front of busy backgrounds.

I still hope we get it as the R3 also didn't get the AF update yet as far as I can tellR5 II probably.
I wouldn't expect any further feature updates now the the R5 II is not too far off.Unfortunately no feature updates, at least it could get R7 new AF modes…
I think the R5 is a key model and it's only at 1.7.0... look what they did with the c300 and others, so I think we'd get incremental features but nothing too crazy.I wouldn't expect any further feature updates now the the R5 II is not too far off.
The r3 does not have the same issues that the R5 has, so why do you want a firmware update that goes with another model camera?I still hope we get it as the R3 also didn't get the AF update yet as far as I can tell
What I was trying to say was that also the R3 did not yet get the new machine learning update for new objects like for example the R6II which I am quite sure it will get.The r3 does not have the same issues that the R5 has, so why do you want a firmware update that goes with another model camera?
How dare they fix bugs without adding any new features? Shame on Canon!Unfortunately no feature updates, at least it could get R7 new AF modes…
