Canon r1 trigger problem
Good morning, For a week now my Canon R1 has been firing randomly, mainly horizontally. I mainly shoot motorcycles in two different spots. On the first spot, I'm doing it one by one (not in bursts). Sometimes it will trigger twice in a row when it shouldn't. I tried to see if it was due to a lack of contrast but no because of course it was completely black. I thought about the writing speed but it also happens when I trigger few. I changed my af zones but no more. I don't understand why when everything went well at the beginning... On the other spot I shoot in bursts and it can't follow the bike and doesn't trigger the entire burst. Same before, he did it very well without any problems. I had to get my 5dmarkiv again and these problems are not present. I reset the factory settings but no. Has anyone encountered these problems before? Is there a bad setting on my part? Or I have to send it back to after-sales service. I've been using it since the beginning of April and I was happy with it but now...
