Canon has released new major firmware for the EOS R1 for the second time in a week. This update fixes an issue where video could not be recorded correctly when using a memory card larger than 2TB with the [Pre-recording] setting enabled.
It also fixes an issue where the camera failed to operate properly after updating to Firmware Version 1.1.0 if the still/video switch function was set to [Silent shutter function switching] or [Disable].

- Fixes an issue in which the camera may not connect to Wi-Fi 7-compatible routers.
Looking forward to the upgrades this will bring, but perhaps not just yet.
These days I'm more in the wait a bit to see if there are issues camp. Especially with the R1!
I think the main issue was with CFExpress cards larger than 2TB, and even then in specific video shooting modes, so it shouldn't affect too many people. Still, I'll wait a bit to skip some of the update churn.
