We reported last week that Canon was going announce and/or release major new firmware for the Canon EOS R1 and Canon EOS R5 Mark II ahead of CP+, which begins at the end of February.

Since that time, there seems to be some reports about what could be coming for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II. We haven't confirmed the following and are reporting information based on third-party reporting.

Coming Canon EOS R5 Mark II Firmware (Rumored)

  • 4K 60fps oversampled mode which has been highly requested
  • Open gate full sensor recording option
  • APS-C full sensor recording in 17:9
    • 120FPS maximum in RAW

We don't know when the new firmware is going to be announced for either the Canon EOS R1 or Canon EOS R5 Mark II, but we're very confident that at least an announcement will come some time in the next month.

  4. Small wishlist:
    1) in-camera production of RAW pixel-shift, higher-res feature.
    2) increase rate of success for pupil tracking refinements
    3) better automatic bluetooth reconnection to phone (my car's connection is very grabby without any input by me, why not my camera?)

  7. I´d wish for a customizable button to assign AF mode concerning "animal, people and vehicle" AF. I don't like having to go through the menu to change it. On the other hand, I don´t believe the R5 mki would get this firmware upgrade, so never mind 🙂

  8. 4k downsampled 60fps for the R5II? Yes it would get hot as hell, but why not at least give us the option. Especially since they have a cooling fan accessory.
    And maybe pixel shift high res like in the R5. These modern Ai features are a joke.

    You mean changing the subject to detect? You can already assign that to a button to quickly toggle between them.

    What do you mean exactly? Can’t you already assign a button for that? I don’t have your camera but you can do that on the r1 - seems a strange thing to lack anywhere else.

    Nothing to be wished for, you can already customise buttons to do so.

  14. Open gate video recording would be nice, I can use every spare pixel for stabilization in post!

    Also, where’s that Lightroom integration Canon was talking about during the launch event?

    I feel like a fool now. I checked my settings on my R5 and still couldn't´find it. Where can I find it in the menu?

    Did you look into customise buttons? Choose a button and try to change it via that menu

    Don't!
    If you knew how often I didn't find easy to find settings... 🙄

    Well, I do... in Germany there is a saying:
    "Anyone who can read has a clear advantage". Obviously, this time I have a disadvantage 🤣
