8. Temperature detection and shooting time control in video shooting have been improved. In addition, the total shooting time when the short-time recording and power-on/off are performed repeatedly at room temperature is improved.

9. The phenomenon in which the movie recording time available is not correctly displayed when the Date/Time/Zone is not set has been corrected.

*Focal length 500mm, Based on CIPA(Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards.

You can download the firmware update from the Canon UK support site.

This firmware update is for cameras equipped with firmware version 1.1.0. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.1.1, this update is unnecessary. When updating the firmware of your camera, please first review the instructions thoroughly.
