Today Canon released firmware 1.2.0 for the R5 Mark II - translated from Canon's Japanese site (https://canon.jp/support/software/os/select/eos/eosr5mark2-firm?pr=5977&os=159):

Firmware Changes
This firmware includes the following changes:

1. The EOS Multi Remote remote shooting system for professional photographers is now supported.
   ※ For an overview of the EOS Multi Remote and instructions for use, please visit the Canon website.
2. Fixed an issue where shooting with multiple exposures in a dark environment could cause the display image to be stretched or Err70 to occur.
3. Fixed an issue where images could not be transferred to an FTP server and Err41 could be displayed.
4. Changed format compatibility with some CFexpress cards.
5. Other operational stability has been improved.

If the camera's firmware is already in version 1.2.0, you do not need to change the firmware. When changing firmware, please read this page carefully before using the download service.

Please update the firmware with only the firmware files to be updated on the memory card.

Note: In line with this functional improvement, the instructions for use have been revised. Please download and use it together with the new firmware. The latest instructions for use can be downloaded from our website.

So has anyone actually installed 1.2.0 in their R5m2? No problems? I do not
shoot video - if that matters.

I don't think this FW is important for me, as I haven't encountered any problems with the current FW 1.1.1. I'm just curious about what's hidden under point 5.
