RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM lens announcement

Kicking off the release of the 2020 additions to the RF lens line-up, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM is a lightweight, compact and versatile zoom lens. Weighing just 395g and sizing up at 88.8mm x 76.6mm, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM is an ideal all-round lens and travel companion. The RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM and EOS RP combined weight is only 880g, providing an equal lens/camera balance and comfort.

Adding to its already versatile focal range, the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM features not only 0.4x life-size magnification, but also a new Canon-developed 0.5x Center Focus Macro mode. This mode provides photographers with high magnification at 24mm, resulting in an extremely close 13cm minimum focus distance. As a result, subjects in the centre of the frame are pin-sharp, exposing beautiful hidden detail, and the edges of the image fade away into an attractive blur.

With a large rear element and Canon’s Super Spectra Coating, this lens will deliver high optical performance across the frame with minimal ghosting and flare. A specification shared amongst all of Canon’s RF lenses, the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM also sports its own DLO lens correction data profile allowing users to capture stunning images with minimal need for post-processing.

The RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM’s STM Autofocus motor also provides fast AF performance for stills and smooth, quiet performance during video capture. It's also further enhanced by 5-stop Image Stabilization (IS).

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens is available from April 2020 for £459.99 / €549.99 (RSP).

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).
