Canon R5 Canon EOS R5 Firmware update (1.7)

[Bear]

For those that haven’t already found out. A new firmware is now available for your EOS R5.

Firmware version 1.7.0 incorporates the following fixes:

1. Fixes an issue that, in rare instances, may result in the camera not operating normally when capturing small subjects.
2. Fixes minor issues.

Firmware version 1.7.0 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.6.0. If the camera's firmware is already version 1.7.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Thanks. Had not heard, and I shoot many small subjects.

Hope it works for you. Available in USA and Canada, but not Europe yet.

Interesting: When I go to the Canon R5 page in the US to download, it is only showing the 1.6.0 firmware.

update: When I go to The Digital Picture website that announces it, the link is to a Japanese Canon page.

So, when I went to Canon USA (https://www.usa.canon.com/) and searched for “EOS R5 firmware” and found 1.7 after a bit of probing. Hope you can find it.

Let's hear from people who have done the upgrade and done some testing.
1.5.2 is totally stable for me so have not upgraded to 1.6 as it was all video centric.
Canon: Please give me 10fps in ES and a sound (like the R3) for it.

Thanks for sharing Barry. I've also posted this in the R5 forum. The R6 has also received a new firmware update.

I also downloaded v1.7 last night and installed without issue. Everything seems to be working properly, though I have not run any tests to confirm.
