You can now download firmware 1.4.0 for the Canon EOS R via Canon Mexico. We expect other global Canon sites to make the firmware available tomorrow.
Firmware Version 1.4.0 incorporates the following enhancement:
- Enhances eye detection Auto Focus (AF) for improved face and eye recognition at greater distances.
- Improved Auto Focus (AF) performance helps the camera to focus on and track smaller subjects.
- Reduces lag time between the actual Auto Focus (AF) and the AF frame display for images in the viewfinder or on the LCD.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the AF frame size cannot be changed in the Servo AF setting.
- Fixes PTP communication vulnerability.

I guess I'll try it out on a live subject. I really was surprised to see it work on the video on my pc with a tiny image. I had no issue with my wife thru her glasses, and it detected my eyes with my glasses on and tracked them when she tried it.
Hint: click on the drop down windows, you can figure it out I think.
Try this for Windows 10
Thanks, problem is I was trying to look at it on my phone ;-) About to go out on a sailboat, will have to install this evening. Thank you.
But, I'm a little bummed. I was hoping they'd let the R have Focus Bracketing with this. The RP has it, and I'm not sure why, but I just thought they might include it.
Maybe next time.
