Canon R5 Canon R5 Firmware Update Query

[Jaketravels110]

Hello, i have just bought a R5 and would like to update the firmware from 1.4.0. Would like the Motorsport tracking.
There are two versions on Canon”s website 1.5.1 and 1.5.2. Do I need to do 1.5.1 first as it seems unclear.
Thanks

Go to 1.5.2. Vehicle tracking was added in 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 but they improved stickiness in 1.5.2. Not sure how you need to progress, but I'm guessing if you can't go directly the camera should tell you.

Okay thanks for the reply

Canon website states “Firmware Version 1.5.2 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.5.1” which seems to suggest that v1.5.2 can be used to update any earlier firmware without needing the intermediate versions.

No—you don’t; however, I recently made the same update from 1.4.0, and did do 1.5.1 first. My suggestion would be to do it this way. I didn’t want to take any chances at all

There is no need to go via intermediate firmware release versions. You can co from any earlier version to the latest version.
