Firmware update for GP-E2

Canon has updated the firmware for the GPS receiver GP-E2 to make it compatible with the latest EOS cameras. Version 2.0.0 incorporates the following fixes and improvements:

1.  Fixes a phenomenon in which, in rare cases, the signal acquisition indicator on the GPS Receiver GP-E2 displays “Slow blinking (Signal acquired)” even if a signal is not yet acquired.

2.  Fixes a phenomenon in which new log files may not be saved correctly if the built-in memory of the GPS Receiver GP-E2 becomes full.

3. Support for the EOS 760D and EOS 750D cameras has been added.

4.  Support for the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R cameras has been added.
Firmware version 2.0.0 is applicable for GPS Receiver GP-E2 units with firmware up to Version 1.0.9. If the GP-E2’s firmware is already version 2.0.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

To update the firmware, Map Utility software (bundled with GPS Receiver GP-E2) is required. Before updating the firmware, use Map Utility to save any GPS log files in the GP-E2’s built-in memory to your computer. After the GPS log files are saved to your computer, make sure to delete the log files from the  GP-E2's built-in memory before updating the firmware.

Firmware updates for EOS R1 and R5 Mark II

Canon has released new firmware for its flagship EOS R1 camera (version 1.0.2) as well as the EOS R5 Mark II (version 1.0.3), both of which offer the following enhancement and fix: 1. Optimizes the timing of the camera's display of its internal camera temperature warning indicator. 2. Fixes an issue that may interfere with the camera's ability to focus properly when using AF (autofocus) in certain zoom ranges. For the EOS R5 Mark II, Canon advises that if the camera's firmware is Version 1.0.1, you should update the firmware with only one memory card inserted into the camera. You should always read the instructions that come with the firmware update, as there are often details specific to that update, as with the EOS R5 Mark II (above).
