Canon R5 Firmware 1.3.0 Question

[Ed Cordes]

One of the new features of the firmware update is to be able to save camera settings to an SD card. Question is - Can I then upload those settings to any other R5. I often get questions on what my settings are and this would allow me to assist others. Thanks.

Yes the intention of this feature (which has existed on the 1D series cameras for some time) is to be able to pop that SD card into another body and copy the settings over. This is especially useful if you have multiple of the same body (think news agencies, wedding photographers, etc.. ) or if you have to replace or send your camera in for repair and use a rental. You don't have to spend all the time getting everything set up just how you like it any longer.
