Problems using tube with Canon R6ii

[wake689]

I don't have that option - I think that may be the menu for the R6 mk 1?

The thread below mentions that continuous AF has been renamed preview AF in the "newest releases" and is found under the third AF tab. It is indeed there on my R6ii and is set to Disable. I have just tried a stack and the green light is not flashing.

And, yes, I was using f /7.1 (tried in both Fv and aperture priority)

Sorry.

I wish I could find someone who uses the R6ii with the Helicon FB tube.

Although, I'm pretty sure that it did work for me before so I don't know what's changed.

I don't know what else to suggest, sorry. Most likely it was some combination of settings that made it work. Have you tried remembering what you might have customized/changed? Before you reset the settings, that is.

If you manage to get it work the way it did before, the thing about it not working in burst mode might be the frame rate being too high. We know it worked at 7 fps, and not much beyond that, but I don't know the exact threshold. But it should at least blink once for the first shot in the series, even if fps is too high.

Thank you for sticking with me and trying to help.
I won't be able to do much for the next week. Then I may try and video my settings and what I'm doing - I wonder if I'm doing something dumb (wouldn't be the first time).
