      *During continuous shooting black frames will be inserted between frames in the viewfinder and live view. This will improve the visibility of moving subjects in live view and in the viewfinder.
    2. Adds the [Auto] setting to the [Viewfinder brightness] menu that will brighten and dim based on ambient light conditions.
    3. Enables 2nd curtain shooting sync during radio transmission wireless flash shooting when the Speedlite EL-1 flash is attached to the camera.

      I would welcome a possibility to put a camera to sleep on a button press. It's very easy to keep the camera awake and drain its battery, if your hand gets close to the viewfinder on/off sensor. The on/off switch is not practical, since you cannot wake the camera up just by pressing the shutter button.

      However be warned the battery will drain quickly if you do this, so you will need another battery. And because the card slot is empty after launch you will need another camera to photograph the launch and boost to orbit. (See page 2,418 of the manual.)

      You can already do that by assigning a custom button to turn off the displays/viewfinder.
      I have set my M-Fn button to turn them off on my R6 and on causual/street shooting always press it after I'm done taking a shot and continue walking. Battery works out very well that way and wakeup with half-press of the shutter or simply looking down the viewfinder takes about one second.

      PS: Consider disabling the automatic sensor cleaning at shutoff to keep the camera from shaking the sensor each time you press the button. I don't really know yet if this is really an issue but it can be slightly annoying to have that cleaning noise each time you put your camera away.

      I was about to ask, and you answered me in the last sentence. If the camera will still come on when something trips the viewfinder sensor that's not a sleep mode, and won't work for janhalasa or myself; s/he complained about the camera coming on while walking if he wasn't careful about that sensor. If the viewfinder sensor "wakes" the camera up, it won't solve the problem, which is the camera waking up because the viewfinder sensor is being triggered accidentally.

Anyhow, that won't work for me either (which is just as well because I find that button useful for other things). In other words this doesn't actually put the camera to sleep.

      Yea, thats true. The only way to fully go to sleep seems to be by waiting for the camera to do so, would be a welcome feature to have the ability to map it to a button. *looks up feedback form from canon*

      Edit: I guess I did not really notice that it turns on accidentally when hanging on a strap as my camera was set to 30 seconds auto-power-off, thus mostly sleeping as intended after manually turning off the display and putting it away.

      How good that a firmware update is available so fast to get the best colour balance possible from a new cut-price lens.

      It's not as if they've rushed this fix out after only just discovering the problem. The lens will have been through lab and field testing for a year, they just decided that it's not worth fixing optically.

      Whic shows you exactly what Canon thinks of that end of the market.

      I know a fools errand but I bought the r6 a few weeks ago in hopes of a big firmware coming that would continue to tweak the overheating issue for uncropped 4k... I may have to send this guy back, before my return window closes. Good camera but honestly can't say $1000 better than the EOS R.

      Are there any more grumblings of a "major" firmware for the R5 \ R6?

      How are you going with uncropped 4k on the EOS R? Great camera by the way.
