    1. I was jut thinking it was time to go to 1.6! lol. Guess I'll wait a while and see how this goes for people. I did notice when i went to 1.5.whatever that sometimes the HUD in the EVF didn't wake up. the EVF was working, but the focus box and other display info would take a while to pop up, like maybe 5 seconds or something. The funny thing was the AF system was working, because I could hit the shutter and get in-focus shots. I wonder if 1.6 or 1.7 fix that issue....

    2. In thought the R6 would finally get some features from the R6 Mark II that could be done with firmware if Canon really wanted.

      Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the R6 still focuses at the background during a video, if the subject leaves the frame.
    4. I wouldn't expect them to add any features, so it's useful as I don't think I can update the firmware without a computer; all the same, I'd have loved the focus stacking ability from the newer models.

      If you ever want to update now or in the future, just mail me a cheap sd card and I'll download the firmware onto it and send it back. PM me for my address.

      You have an R6 and over 3,000 posts on this site and you don't have a computer??????

      Genuinely curious....what do you do with the photos you take if you don't have a computer to store/edit them?

      You can download and install firmware from the Canon Connect app

      I'm keeping them on the SD card. The minority I share online are edited on the camera and/or uploaded to my phone for finishing and then posting. It's not ideal for the long term but it's the best I can do.

      My last computer died a couple of years ago and I can't afford to replace it. For most of my photographic "career" I had one, of course. I take far fewer images with a camera now, so storage is much less of an issue; incidentally I have an R6 because I traded in my old DSLR gear so it cost me nothing, and I wanted to see if it could rekindle my interest - if not I would get rid and just use my phone. Still undecided on that. But a phone can handle most of the organising and editing. Not my preference but sufficient.

      Thanks! That's very kind. Tbh I don't have any issues with the current version (1.5.2); I'll see if the app can do it as suggested here.

      I have just updated from 1.6 to 1.7 through my phone, using the Canon connect app.
      Also focus stacking was available with 1.6 firmware.

      Focus bracketing, or "depth compositing"?
    19. Focus bracketing, or "depth compositing"?
      The post you replied to stated ‘focus stacking’ which is synonymous with depth compositing. I think you are conflating those terms with ‘focus bracketing’, which is collecting multiple focal planes (a necessary prerequisite to stacking/compositing them).
