Tech Down Over 239: EOS R Focus Test With Firmware 1.2.0

Tech Down Over 239: EOS R Focus Test With Firmware 1.2.0

Now that the Canon EOS R firmware update 1.2.0 is out, we’re testing the EOS R’s Servo AF with Eye Tracking!

This is a followup to our test two days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgiEQgAJCJ0

Yesterday, Canon released the firmware update which added Eye Tracking Servo AF to the EOS R. We did similar tests to our initial test, but added an additional burst photo test. Our thanks to viewer Pieter van der Walt for suggesting we do a photo test!
