Back in March Canon released a major firmware update for the Canon EOS R5 with version 1.0.8.1, which added a ton of features including the 400mp IBIS high-resolution shooting mode.
There was then a bunch of reports in regards to a new firmware coming in Q3 for the EOS R5 that would add further features. That timeline doesn’t look like it’s going to come to fruition.
We have been told that any further firmware updates for the EOS R5 will come later in 2023, but that it won’t be a major feature update. There are still a few things Canon will add, but temper your expectations.
With the Canon EOS R5 Mark II likely coming in the first half of 2024, we’re assuming that software development resources will be going towards that project along with the EOS R1.
The next camera to receive a firmware update will reportedly be the Canon EOS R6 Mark II.
More to come…
