The next Canon EOS R5 firmware update is coming next month [CR2]

That's good news. Incorporates most of the fixes we have been asking for.

1.2.0 is *******.

Besisika · Jan 21, 2021

Most welcome!

Features I hope to see at some point:

User customization of Mode menu so both photo & video modes can appear together
User customization of top LCD - There's a lot of wasted space that could display more info without having to toggle to the second page. And still, I can't see how many shots are left on my SD card from the top LCD.
Get rid of record limit. I'm selling an XC10 which I use as an unmanned C/D cam to C200s for long weddings. An R5 would be an easy purchase for this but the record limit has me looking at mirrorless Panasonic/Sony. Do this and take my money Canon.

I want the "Q" screen to behave like how it did on the 5D Mark IV.

I'd still like aperture bracketing.

Unfortunately I do not know where I can 'flood' Canon with wishes. Maybe someone gives me a tip? I am CPS Platinum Customer btw.

Pixelshift please!!!

arthur@haeberli-fo · Jan 21, 2021

A wish: When I work outside with AV in rapidly changing light conditions with external flashes (Elinchrom ELB) as brightener (eg. against the sun), I want the camera to behave as when no flash is on the hot shoe.

Yes please, pixelshift.

Lets hope around the 13th which will be the anniversary of the original development announcement - can't believe that was nearly 12 months ago!

Really looking forward to Clog 3 on the R5.

Had a quick look, I've read "12-24" and "february 2021".... yes!

Wish: when in 'exposure simulation' is on, i wish the 'depth-of-field preview' would be a part of the exposure simulation and maybe depth-of-field preview button ' would work the other way around or would be disabled.

Yes, what's the most effective way to 'flood' Canon with our firmware feature requests? I, too, am platinum CPS member, if that helps at all.

– more customizable buttons. The R6 is worse than my R

– on cameras without the mode switch (R and R5), there can be an unlimited number of C modes that I can name and choose from the menu (tripod, portrait, street, macro, my cat1, my cat2...)
– I want to customize the dials on Fv mode. There are four dials so I could assign each of them to A, T, iso and compensation. It would be perfect mode then!
Or at least make it possible to change the parameters with the joystick (up-aperture, down-reset aperture, left-shutter speed, .., middle button reset all, back dial: iso, control ring: exposure compensation)

Focus stack with flash!

Adding my voice to the requests for pixel shift, and also would like to know how to ping Canon more directly with this request...

Absolutely. The WYSIWYG mirrorless advantage isn't fully realized with Canon taking more of a DSLR approach where the scene is presented wide open.

How about saving settings so if the camera gets sent off for service you don't have to reprogram the entire thing again?

andrewtowecreative · Jan 21, 2021

Sweet, mostly use my R5 as a B Cam. This will help in post. Also this lets me test things with my R5 so I don't have to bust out the C300 mark iii every time.
