Your recollection is correct. Sorry, no fixes that I know of. We need
someone to hack the firmware of Canon to make it behave in a more reasonable
fashion.
I resolve the issue as I described in a post a while back.
If I were advising your friend, and if he does not already have an
investment in a Canon system, I would say go Nikon and Leitax. But of
course, he looses the ability to use his R8.
Any hackers want a challenge?????
