It took the 9 shits shots in a fraction of a second and then it spend 10 seconds or so creating the composite. The forum software doesn't like it when you try to upload the resulting JPEG directly

I'm glad people got pixel shift (for those who wanted it). Considering the hype, this FW update was slightly on the underwhelming side. I thought R5 users might have gotten at least one of the following: lens breathing correction, AF tracking enhancements or pre-shooting buffer. I was surprised it was only PS. I guess its important to be grateful for what you did get.

I looked at your photo. I'm on a laptop and only went to 56%. Nice detail.

My sentiments exactly. I don't want to be ungrateful, but I can't help thinking 'that's it?' after reading the changelog in the description. It never pays to have expectations with these type of things. Still, pixel shift should be a fun tool to play with for a few days and see if it's useful.

Meanwhile I think I got a DR bump in cLog3 in XF-AVC or mp4.

A new DPP seems to be available as well (4.17.20). I downloaded from Canon Japan here.

Yeah, it's Pixel shift + network saving and the emergency hot fixes from the R6 firmware. Unless '5. Fixes minor issues.' does some really heavy lifting!

My assumption was that for an allegedly 'big' firmware update we'd get a buch of the software improvements we've seen in newer bodies, like tracking in all AF modes, resizable zones and auto subject detect.

Still, this update is more than I expected for firmware updates almost 3 years into owning an R5, so I'm pretty happy with it. Not cancelling my R8 preorder, though

4.17.20 actually came out in February.

I'll have to record some video and see if I can tell the difference. But this thread is about your R5's so enjoy them!

Interesting. For me it says there are no updates available. Maybe it's a Mac only update.

OK. So I have read comments regarding the new EOS R5 Firmware Update, Version 1.7.0 [macOS] and the firmware for the R5. I downloaded it. I don't see any real. benefit, at least for me.

Anyone and e everyone who has downloaded the update, please share with all of us your experience with the download. Is it significant/worth it? Pls. share your thoughts as well as your pics. Or is this just a meh update?

Thanks.
Scott
