p.1 #1 · Set R1 from JPEG to HEIF then the R1's EVF & LCD image quality looks washed out/milky


But when I download the HEIF file to Photos for macOS Sequia the colors looks better than JPEG.

Presumably then, the R1 displays do not support HDR output, or else there is an in-camera setting you must change to enable this.

Never messed with HEIF myself, as I am primarily a RAW shooter, so I don't know if this behavior is consistent with other Canon models.

Thanks for the reply. I enabled HEIF using the assumption that it was implemented similarly to how Apple did HEIF for the purpose of improving image quality over JPEG and yet prouce smaller file sizes.

I'd probably just use HEIF, then, if I got better colors not sure how this is a problem its pretty clearly better than jpeg anyway imo, haven't used it but jpeg had issues 25+ years ago

Might not be necessary I'd probably keep something around to convert heif to jpeg in case it doesn't stick around

Found out that HEIF as implemented by Canon is more in common with Log for video than Apple's.
