Canon EOS R5 Mark II: Firwmare v1.1.1 Release

[lbeck]

I'm going to take a chance on this. Most that have loaded 1.1 report no issues and my guess is Canon properly vetted this release. Wish me luck.

Famous last words … but seriously, good luck!

So, where's Panning Assist announced in 1.1.0?

It was only added to the R1, not to the R5II

sniff, i was hoping for a quick way to turn on/off precapture other than custom settings.

Firmware installed, camera still works as expected. The wifi7 access point fix doesn’t seem to have a noticeable effect, it still takes the camera over a minute to connect

The solution to this problem is to create a 2nd SSID and limit it to 2.4GHz or 5GHz. It’s not like your Canon R5 Mark II is going to get any faster speeds than 2.4GHz can offer anyways. It’s pretty clear to me that Canon’s engineers have never actually used any WiFi devices or they would be ashamed to put a camera out like this that performs so poorly. I can take a $100 Android Chinese knock off cellphone and it will perform better on 10 year old WiFi than the Canon R5 Mark II on anything modern.

You might add it to the Q.

EDIT:
In the english version C017 it is page 292.

My dear Canon! Please bring back RAW saving when shooting multiple exposures! In Canon R5 all multiple exposure modes were saved in RAW. Why does Canon R5 m2 only work in JPEG format for multiple exposures?

I agree! Still shoots in RAW on the R5 after updating firmware, so why did they change it to JPEG on the R5M2? Arrrgh.

Btw is "Firwmare" the Canon equivalent to nightmare? Asking for a friend

I suspect this is about single-image-multiple-exposure type of thing, like this:

Yes!

Where is the panning assist ? It was in the 1.1.0 ! And now removed from 1.1.1 ? Cmon

I assume that it did not work correctly

 

[Toamelicious]

Are we talking in-camera focus stackingi where it generates a final image? Or focus bracketing? I haven’t used focus bracketing since switching to the R5II but that saved RAW files. Never even thought to look.

I used the function called "focus bracketing" I got a composite file in camera but also the single images taken. And they're all JPEGs, which got me confused. But I have not used that feature before and might have overlooked some detailed setting

The focus bracketing feature should use the format you picked in the main settings for the single images. The composite is always a JPEG. I get a bunch of cRAWs and the composite JPEG on my R5II.

I tried updating my r5m2 from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 and reached the screen where it told me everything went fine.
After that everything went black and I can't seem to power the camera back up. Any pointers ? :/

 

[OldrockyGN]

Shoopea - just in case you didn't do this ... I always use the simplest method
for any camera firmware updates. Which means I download the update (and
extract if necessary), transfer the update to a just formatted SD card, put the
updated card in the camera, and, with NO other connections of any kind (not
even power I just use a fully charged battery) ... do the update taking extra
time at each step to simply wait for stuff to "settle down" before I do anything
like check if the update went OK, use the camera, etc.

If you haven't tried this I suggest you try removing the battery (and any
cable to power), let the camera sit unpowered for a couple of minutes,
replace the battery (and look for the red light to flash - if it doesn't then
charge the battery before proceeding) and wait 30 secs before trying to
power on.

Hope you have it working. If not after all the above I'd call/chat with
Canon support.

I just updated the firmware to version 1.1.1.
I removed the battery and reinserted it. Firmware update was successful.
Switched on the camera. Then I clicked the third tab in the camera's Orange Menu. There I clicked on ES Continuous Shooting Speed. With High Speed Continuous + and High Speed, I can no longer adjust the number of shots. I can with Low Speed. I see the arrows, but I can't change the number of shots. The Shutter Mode is Electronic.
What's wrong here?

You can reach them at 1-800-652-2666 Monday- Friday; excluding holidays. Outside the USA, visit their Global website at https://Canon.us/globalsupport

I called and a very cordial support person took my information to escalate up to the engineers in Japan. It was the first time he's been made aware of this so more calls from users might help with issue escalation.

God Canon's software department is trash... a shame of the hardware really

You can simply leave it on all the time and if you use back button focus you can choose to half press the shutter when you want it on and not half press when you want it off
