The latest firmware for the Canon R5 is now 1.9.0

Firmware Version 1.9.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:

1. Adds the ability to erase voice memos added to images and to add voice memos to protected images.
2. Adds enhanced security when transferring images via FTPS transfer.
3. Adds support for the Software Development Assistance Kit (EDSDK/CCAPI).
4. Fixes an issue, in which, after touchscreen operation, in rare circumstances, the camera operations cannot be performed, and even if the camera is operated, [BUSY] appears on the screen.
5. Fixes minor issues.

If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1.9.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

The firmware can be downloaded from Canon's Support Sites. US / Europe

Has anyone had any issues with the 1.9.0 upgrade? Thought I'd ask before I install it.

 

[MikeZ]

Nope, it has worked fine for me and I installed shortly after it was released. I can't say that I see any differences from 1.8.1 though.

Same as MikeZ...

The main features don't apply to my flow of snaping photos, but I did see a HUGE difference in "Fixes minor issues." whatever they are.
