Canon has released new firmware for the EOS R5 and EOS R6 full frame mirrorless cameras in response to user feedback.
A video feature borrowed from the EOS R3 – Auto Power Off: Temp – can be added to the EOS R5 via this firmware. This enables longer recording times, with the High setting roughly doubling the length of footage (subject to conditions).
The EOS R5 and R6 both gain the ability to convert multiple HEIF images to JPEG in-camera, whilst the Movie Digital IS feature has been improved in response to feedback that the edges of captured video in selfie mode with a wide-angle lens were shaky.
EOS R5
Firmware version 1.6.0 for the EOS R5 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:
1.
Adds [Auto Power Off Temp.: Standard/High] to the menu for movie
recording. When [High] is selected, the camera will not automatically
turn off when the temperature of the camera body and card become high,
which may allow for longer movie recording than before, depending on the
shooting conditions. Note that the temperature of the bottom surface of
the camera may increase at this time.
2. Adds the ability to convert multiple HEIF images into multiple JPEG images.
3.
Enhances the performance of 'Movie Digital IS' so that it stabilises the image
when taking selfies or walking shots using a wide-angle lens.
4. Fixes minor issues.
If the EOS R5 camera's firmware is already Version 1.6.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
