Si vous êtes impatients, téléchargez la mise à jour du Firmware 1.4 pour votre Canon EOS R5… Elle est déjà disponible ici chez canon USA (et contient le .pdf en Français pour les instructions). La page en Français chez Canon.fr n’est pas encore à jour, mais c’est probablement imminent par ici…

En détail : il s’agit surtout d’options avancées pour la vidéo… Notamment une option qui avait été beaucoup demandée : pouvoir enregistrer de la vidéo simultanément sur les deux cartes : « Adds simultaneous movie recording capability on card 1 and card 2, however RAW movies and RAW(Light) movies cannot be recorded simultaneously on card 1 and card 2. »

Mais on remarque aussi quelques améliorations pour les heureux propriétaires de téléobjectifs RF 400 mm F2.8 L IS USM et de RF 600mm F4 L IS USM…

Firmware Version 1.4.0 incorporates the following fixes and enhancements :
