Firmware update for EOS R6, EOS R5 & EOS-1D X Mark III

New firmware update for EOS R5, EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III now available to download and install.

Many of the updates are for the EOS R5 with a focus on video functionality like 120/100fpsFHD video and lighter codecs for 8K/4K + CLOG3 the EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III get updates too. I’ve read online that C-LOG3 is planned to come to both EOS R6 and EOS-1D X Mark III in a future release too.

I think I’ll need to revisit my article on full-time manual focus and see if the changes in EOS R5/R6 setting for Electronic full-time MF have any change in the content.

Firmware update 1.3.1 for EOS R6

NOTE: initially firmware 1.3.0 was announced, but was swiftly withdrawn as it was found to have problems when movie cropping was enabled. Version 1.3.1 fixes that problem. If you have any version prior to 1.3.1 it would be good to update your EOS R6.
