New firmware has been released for the Canon EOS R3 and EOS R5. The updates are not very significant and are not immediately necessary for everyone. Check the changes to find out whether they are relevant to you.

Firmware version 1.7.1 has been released for the Canon EOS R3. With this firmware update, the Canon EOS R5 is now on version 2.0.0.

The changes for both models allow you to use the new Power Zoom adapters, and to store files of up to 2 terabytes on a CF-Express card.

There are also security improvements for FTPS connections on the EOS R3, as well as corrections for a number of rare error messages. View the list on Canon's website on the relevant firmware pages.

    Jammer dat er geen extra functionaliteit wordt toegevoegd zoals bv die pre-shooting-optie (zoals op de R6ii).
    Ik denk dat meer mensen daar hun voordeel mee zouden kunnen doen, eerder dan met die High resolution shot/IBIS-opname (1.8.1). Iedereen zal dat wel één keer uitgeprobeerd hebben neem ik aan, maar wellicht is het daar ook bij gebleven...

    Ik ben het daar mee eens. Helaas zal dat niet gebeuren. Immers, de EOS 5D mark II is in aantocht.
