Canon R5/R6 Firmware Updates
Jul 23, 2022 07:18:22 #
Canon has released firmware updates (v 1.6.0) for both the R5 and R6.
These apply mostly to video capabilities although they also list "Repairs minor issues" as being part of the update. No idea what the minor issues are. Apparently not important enough to specify.

One issue I consistently have with my R5 is where the camera switch’s to Auto ISO without my input. This is especially annoying when using auxiliary flash in a dark environment. I keep hoping firmware upgrades will fix the issue, but so far it continues. Any one else having this problem? Or can someone determine if there’s a combination of buttons or dials I’m pushing/turning that can cause the camera to slip into Auto ISO? I’ll run the upgrades and hope for the best.

Never experienced that issue with my R5 or any of my previous Canons for that matter.

Which dial, button or ring do you use to adjust ISO? I use the control ring and never had an issue.

I don’t own any RF lenses so I use the Mode dial on top of camera. I shot a wedding this past weekend and had it slip 3 times. When it happens I find that taking it out of Auto ISO from the screen menu will hold it longer. If I readjust from Mode dial it will slip right back. One theory is this is related to the Flashpoint trigger or flash I usually have mounted to the camera, but it has happened without them also. I own 2 R5’s and had an R6 and this issue occurs on all 3 cameras. Puzzling 😖

That is puzzling. I use EF lenses most of the time with a ring adapter. The ring functions just like the ring on RF lenses. Is it possible you are pushing the M Fn button then the dial? I noticed that ISO in the M Fn menu is right next to the flash compensation. Do you use the M Fn button to adjust flash exposure?
