Canon Europe has today announced details of the next lens to be added to the RF lens line-up. The RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM lens offers the widest focal length of the range so far, and is a compact fixed aperture wide angle lens that is lightweight and designed to Canon's high optical standards. Offering 5.5 stops of image stabilisation – increasing to 7 stops when combined with Canon's in-body image stabilisation found on recent cameras such as the EOS R5 and R6 – this compact lens is versatile, smooth and quiet, thanks to the Nano USM focusing mechanism. The RF 14-35mm f4L IS USM employs an advanced optical design of three ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements and three glass moulded aspherical lens elements, one of which is also UD. These aspherical components feature a non-spherical curvature which gathers light at a single point to reduce aberration and create pin-sharp images, replicating the image quality of a prime lens.  Combined with Canon’s Subwavelength Structure Coating (

Firmware update version 1.3.2 was released for the EOS 5D Mark IV in May 2021 – and then almost immediately removed.  Version 1.3.3 incorporates the following fixes: 1. Improves the camera's connection compatibility to a PC while using a USB 3.0 or higher compatible cable. 2. Fixes an issue in which self-timer shooting cannot be performed in firmware version 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. 3. Fixes an issue in which an electronic beep does not sound when registering an AF frame as the AF start position in firmware version 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. 4. Fixes an issue, in which a small sound is generated from the speaker when the power is turned on in Firmware Version 1.3.2. *Item 1 applies to Version 1.3.2, whereas Items 2 through 4 apply to Version 1.3.3   The new firmware can be downloaded from: https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos-5d-mark-iv.html?type=firmware

First announced in April, Canon has revealed more information about its professional full frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R3. After teasing in the first press release that a new subject type is coming for the autofocus detection system, Canon has confirmed that the EOS R3 will be able to track moving cars and motorbikes, making it an ideal tool for motorsports photographers. This is in addition to the two current subjects – people and animals – that the EOS R5 and R6 have already showcased. Canon has also teased that the EOS R3 will be able to achieve focus down to EV -7, giving even greater opportunities in low light situations. And that's not all – the EOS R3 will offer up to 8 stops combined image stabilisation (in-body and lens), just like the R5 and R6 cameras which first introduced in-body image stabilisation (IBIS). As Canon has already revealed, the EOS R3 will use a newly developed back illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, powered by Canon’s next generation DIGIC X image proc
