Thanks for providing exiftool.
For me there is no urgency to this, but I was just curious.

On EOS R5, it appears that "Unknown (4)" is:
"
[LED] LED AF assist beam only
Enables LED AF-assist beam firing by Speedlites equipped with this feature, when these flash units are attached. If your Speedlite is not LED-equipped, the camera's AF-assist beam is fired instead.
"
For EOS R5

It appears that "USMLensElectronicMF : Unknown (3)" is "[Disable in AF mode] Disable in AF mode
Manual focus adjustment is disabled when the lens's focus mode switch is set to AF."
This might vary by type of lens attached.
This is great, thanks! I've been quite busy recently but I'll add these when I get a chance.

No rush. Thanks again.
I just realized that the URLs I included are accidentally hy language instead of en. Editing the URL to en will get one the English version. My browser translated it for me, so I did not notice.
Hi,
I could replicate all of John's observations on my Canon R6 with ExifTool 12.76. (Thanks John!)
However, the wording of the USMLensElectronicMF values seems incorrect. ExifTool converts these values as follows:
2: Disable in AF Mode
0: Enable After AF
1: Disable After AF
3: Unknown (3)but the Canon user manuals for the R5 and R6, and the menu on my camera, look like this:
2: Disable after One-Shot
0: One-Shot->enabled
1: One-Shot->enabled (magnify)
3: Disable in AF modeNote in particular that ExifTool currently reports value 2 as Disable in AF mode. Reporting value 3 also with the same string would be confusing.
This is with firmware 1.8.3 of the R6, with a Canon RF 70-200mm F4L IS USM attached.
I checked the manual for firmware version 1.4, and the available settings for this were the same, so I doubt these values have changed meaning recently.
Reference for the Canon R5: Canon : Product Manual : EOS R5 : Customizing AF Functions : Lens electronic MF (https://cam.start.canon/en/C003/manual/html/UG-04_AF-Drive_0110.html#AF-Drive_0110_1-1)
Reference for the Canon R6: Canon : Product Manual : EOS R6 : Customizing AF Functions : Lens electronic MF (https://cam.start.canon/en/C004/manual/html/UG-04_AF-Drive_0110.html#AF-Drive_0110_1-1) (this section is identical to the R5)
Thanks. I'll assume that the new definition for USMLensElectronicMF applies to all EOS R models, and treat them differently. I'll also add the new values for other tags. These changes will appear in ExifTool 12.86.
