So far, the R5 C feels like a rushed product to me, especially when it comes to the firmware/software in the camera. When I'm shooting in video mode, sometimes my R5 C's monitor will spontaneously go black for a moment and then just pop back on. It's very strange. It does this when I press record sometimes. I've owned an original C300, a C200 and I currently own a C300 III and a C500 II. I've had every cinema EOS camera except a C300 II, and I've never seen the sort of erratic, inconsistent behavior I am currently seeing with the R5 C.

Additionally, the failure to achieve Netflix certification for this camera is very disappointing. How Canon managed to take a brand new cinema camera, with a brand new 8K sensor that shoots raw, and then fail the Netflix certification is beyond me. I feel like the R5C has so much potential, it just badly needs a solid firmware update to make it more reliable and unlock the restricted features Canon has implemented into the camera.

I am guessing the R5C failed the Netflix certification because of their decision to withhold C-Log 2 from that camera. If this is the case, I applaud Netflix for this decision, because Canon is effectively reducing the dynamic range of their CINEMA badged, pro camera with their own firmware. I purchased the R5C to use as a B camera to my C300 III, and I really do not want to shoot in Clog3 on my C300 III and reduce the A camera's dynamic range, just to accommodate the B camera. It makes no sense to reduce the quality and functionality of your A camera because Canon is holding back Clog 2 on the R5C. Because of this, I have to explain to my editor why he has to use two different LUTs on what is supposed to be two, matching, Canon cinema cameras.

Canon update the R5C's firmware and unleash it's potential!!

I wonder whether the issue you were experiencing with the R5C's monitor going black is because the Viewfinder is set to engage when you hover over it, which automatically turns the R5C's monitor off? If so there is definitely a way to disable that feature in the menu.

That a good point. I'm sure there is a setting for EVF proximity, although I don't use it myself. I have not had the LCD on my device shut off unintentionally and have found the proximity sensor below the EVF to be very accurate sensing when my face is close to it. I generally keep my LCD closed in photo mode, so this would only apply in CinemaOS.

A gated community (or walled community) is a form of residential community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. Historically, cities have built defensive city walls and controlled gates to protect their inhabitants, and such fortifications have also separated quarters of some cities. Today, gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various shared amenities. For smaller communities, these amenities may include only a park or other common area. For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the community for most daily activities. Gated communities are a type of common interest development, but are distinct from intentional communities.

Given that gated communities are spatially a type of enclave, Setha M. Low, an anthropologist, has argued that they have a negative effect on the net social capital of the broader community outside the gated community.[2] Some gated communities, usually called "guard-gated communities", are staffed by private security guards and are often home to high-value properties, and/or are set up as retirement villages. Some gated communities are secure enough to resemble fortresses and are intended as such.[3]

Besides the services of gatekeepers, many gated communities provide other amenities. These may depend on a number of factors including geographical location, demographic composition, community structure, and community fees collected. When there are sub-associations that belong to master associations, the master association may provide many of the amenities. In general, the larger the association the more amenities that can be provided.

Amenities also depend on the type of housing. For example, single-family-home communities may not have a common-area swimming pool, since individual home-owners have the ability to construct their own private pools. A condominium, on the other hand, may offer a community pool, since the individual units do not have the option of a private pool installation.

In Brazil, the most widespread form of gated community is called "condomnio fechado" (closed housing estate) and is the object of desire of the upper classes. Such a place is a small town with its own infrastructure (reserve power supply, sanitation, and security guards). The purpose of such a community is to protect its residents from exterior violence. The same philosophy is seen on closed buildings and most shopping centres (many of them can only be accessed from inside the parking lot or the garage).

In Mexico, the most common form of a gated community is called privada, fraccionamiento, or condominio, in which privadas and fraccionamientos are mostly composed of individual, single-family houses grouped, these may vary on size and shape, sometimes, houses will be individually developed and built while in others (primarily in fraccionamientos) houses are of the same design and shape. In fraccionamientos, these houses may have access to amenities within the gated zone as well, such as parks, gyms, party rooms, pools and maintenance by the residential's administration. Condominios are commonly similar to fraccionamientos and privadas, but applied in a scheme of apartment buildings.[4]

In Pakistan, gated communities are located in big as well as small cities and are considered the standard of high quality living. Defence Housing Authority[5] and Bahria Town are major private gated community developers and administrators and one of the largest in the world. The assets of Bahria Town itself are worth $30 billion.[6] Most gated communities in Pakistan have public parks, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, gymnasiums, and country clubs.[7]

In Argentina, they are called "barrios privados" (literal translation "private neighbourhoods") or just "countries" (which comes from a shortening of the term "country club") and are often seen as a symbol of wealth. However, gated communities enjoy dubious social prestige (many members of the middle and upper middle class regard gated community dwellers as nouveaux riches or snobs[8]). While most gated communities have only houses, some bigger ones, such as Nordelta,[9] have their own hospital, school, shopping mall, and more.

In post-apartheid South Africa, gated communities have mushroomed in response to high levels of violent crime. They are commonly referred to as "complexes" but also broadly classified as "security villages" (large-scale privately developed areas) or "enclosed neighbourhoods".[10] Some of the newest neighbourhoods being developed are almost entirely composed of security villages, some with malls and few other essential services (such as hospitals). In part, property developers have adopted this response to counter squatting, which local residents fear due to associated crime, and which often results in a protracted eviction process.

They are popular in southern China and Hong Kong, where most of the new apartment compounds have 24/7 guards on duty, and for some high-end residences, facial recognition systems to grant residents and domestic workers entry into the compound. The most famous of which is Clifford Estates in Guangzhou.

In Saudi Arabia, gated communities have existed since the discovery of oil, mainly to accommodate families from Europe or North America. After threat levels increased from the late 1990s on against foreigners in general and U.S. citizens in particular,[citation needed] gates became armed, sometimes heavily, and all vehicles are inspected. Marksmen and Saudi Arabian National Guard armored vehicles appeared in certain times, markedly after recent terrorist attacks in areas near-by, targeting people from European or North American countries.

Proponents of gated communities (and to a lesser degree, of cul-de-sacs) maintain that the reduction or exclusion of people who would be only passing through, or more generally, of all non-local people, makes any "stranger" much more recognisable in the closed local environment, and thus reduces crime danger. However, some have argued that, since only a very small proportion of all non-local people passing through the area are potential criminals, increased traffic should increase rather than decrease safety by having more people around whose presence could deter criminal behaviour or who could provide assistance during an incident.[11]

Another criticism is that gated communities offer a false sense of security. Some studies indicate that safety in gated communities may be more illusion than reality and that gated communities in suburban areas of the United States have no less crime than similar non-gated neighbourhoods.[12]

A commentary in The New York Times specifically blames the gated communities for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin as the columnist states that "gated communities churn a vicious cycle by attracting like-minded residents who seek shelter from outsiders and whose physical seclusion then worsens paranoid groupthink against outsiders."[13]
