Firmware: Canon releases firmware v1.3.1 for the Canon EOS R5

1. It is not much different from FW 1.3.0.
   I've read that it is minor update to 1.3.0 with single bug fix for clog3 (overexposed image when view assist is on).

   that would have been far better information than posting the release info for 1.3.0 and leaving us to figure out the difference between that and 1.3.1

   For those that have not installed 1.3.0 having the complete list of changes makes much more sense IMO.
   
   Good news thanks to @vladk no one needs to compare 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 on their own to find out what changed. This internet thing as a source of information might just catch on.

   A better option would have been a quick note at the top of the post with the CLog fix (& other fixed phenomenons) for the many of us that have already seen/installed the 1.3.0 update.
   Posting the whole thing again seems superfluous.

   You always make perfect sense. You must stop now.

   Maybe, but normally a minor release like this just has what has been fixed - in this case a couple things. Not the whole release notes for the previous release as well.

11. When shooing in C-Log 3, what's the best color space option? BT.709 or Cinema Gamut?

13. As a Photographer, these firmware updates have been useless and done little to address issues with the camera for Photographers.

    100% AGREE. Canon has apparently forgotten the camera has people who use it to take photographs.

    Agreed! Except when this internet thing is a source of misinformation ... :)

17. So the added fixes/functionality in 1.3.1 vs 1.3.0 are:
    
    – Support for RAW movies shot with Canon Log3 and RAW (Light) will be available in Cinema RAW Development and in Digital Photo Professional version in a future update. Digital Photo Professional will also support the processing of RAW movies shot in Canon Log3 settings and the application of Viewing LUT in a future update.
    
    – Fixes a phenomenon in which the power may become suspended when the camera is powered via USB for an extended period of time.
    
    – Fixes a phenomenon, in which part of the settings screen is incorrectly displayed in Firmware Version 1.2.1.
    
    – Fixes a phenomenon, in which when shooting with Canon Log 3, if the [View Assist.] setting is set to [On], the image in the viewfinder and on the LCD screen is displayed brighter than it should be.

    No, as far as I remember only the two last ones.
