Canon’s latest firmware for the EOS R6 improves total video shooting time

Canon has released firmware version 1.1.1 for its EOS R6 camera that includes some of the fixes we’ve seen in the earlier 1.1 update for the EOS R5.

More specifically, the new firmware has improved the camera’s temperature detection capability and shooting time control. In short, you should see longer video recording times.

Here’s the full changelog from Canon:

1. A messaging is displayed when [HDMI display: Camera+External monitor] and [Overheat control: on] settings are both enabled.
2. When the RF100-500mm F4.5–7.1 L IS USM is attached, an image stabilization effect of approximately six stops* is achieved through collaborative control with the in-lens image stabilization. (*Focal length 500mm, based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards.)
3. Fixes a phenomenon in which the IS capabilities may be degraded when performing continuous shooting in cases where the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens is attached to the EOS R6 running firmware version 1.1.0.
4. When using certain RF lenses for movie shooting, the in-lens image stabilization mechanism has been improved.
5. Fixes a phenomenon in which the “Slow Synchro” setting screen is not accurately displayed, when the language is set to English.
6. Fixes a typo displayed on the communication setting screen, when the language is set to Korean.
7. Connectivity during FTP transmission has been improved.
8. Temperature detection and shooting time control in video shooting have been improved. In addition, the total shooting time when the short-time recording and power-on/off are performed repeatedly at room temperature is improved.
9. The phenomenon in which the movie recording time available is not correctly displayed when the Date/Time/Zone is not set has been corrected.

Additionally, Canon has followed up with the major v1.1 update for the EOS R5 with a smaller 1.1.1 update. This update brings 6-stop image stabilisation support and better IS performance during continuous shooting to the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens that’s promised earlier. It also fixes IS problems that may occur when doing continuous shooting with the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens.
