Why Is My Card Full the Second I Find a Great Spot?
Seriously, does everyone here deal with this? I’m in some wild location—perfect light, killer composition, no people around—and the buffer’s screaming ‘buffer full’ or my 128GB card has three minutes of space left. All the sudden I’m deleting ‘garbage practice shots’ from my phone (real trash, I swear) just to squeeze an extra shot of the glacier.
You know the one: you finally get a clean foreground, the alpenglow hits, and you’ve got a folder of half-decent street photos from two weeks ago that you forgot to upload. I’m not carrying 20 spare SD cards for a weekend trip but this feels like it’s happening every other day now.
Your turn—most times you’ve survived with low space on a single shoot? You’d think cloud auto-upload would solve this but nope, 0% in Nepal and whatever, I don’t wanna talk about it.
Why do JPEGs from my Canon EOS R5 have more dynamic range than RAW in 2023?
Okay all the pro gearheads here, help me straighten out my brain. I've been shooting Sahara landscapes in JPEG because it's 'lighter' and for some reason my Canon 5D Mark V has like 2 extra stops of usable DR compared to RAW. Logic?
Why does my Canon EOS R5 overheat after 5 minutes when shooting 8K RAW at 30°C desert conditions?
I'm on a week‑long trek across the Sahara with the EOS R5 strapped to my backpack. The plan was to capture 8K RAW video of the dunes at sunrise, but after just 5 minutes of continuous recording the camera throws the dreaded "OVERHEAT" warning and shuts down.
Details:
- Firmware 1.5.0, latest update applied
- Using CFexpress Type B 2TB card, UHS‑II 1000 MB/s speed class
- Shooting 8K RAW 30p, 1.2x crop, ISO 400
- Ambient temperature: 30‑35 °C, direct sun, low wind
- Battery: LP‑E6NH (full charge), also tried a V‑Mount power bank (no change)
- Lens: RF 15‑35mm f/2.8 L IS USM (wide‑angle, not a factor for heat)
I tried the usual tricks: turning off image stabilization, reducing ISO to 100, using the internal fan mode (if any). Nothing helps. The camera just stalls and says "OVERHEAT" again after a few minutes.
Has anyone managed to push the R5 beyond this limit in hot climates? Are there proven work‑arounds—external cooling rigs, custom firmware tweaks, or maybe just a smarter shooting schedule? Or is this a sign I should've gone with a Sony A1 or Nikon Z9 for desert shoots?
I need practical advice, not generic "let it cool down" replies. Bring your real‑world experience.
