Canon just released, as of yesterday the 7th, new firmware updates for the R5 & R6. Both are Ver 1.7.0 and seem to address minor issues.

Thanks. I've never done it . Easy to do?
Quite easy. Takes about 5 minutes. The update comes in a zipped file. Locate your camera at the CanonUSA website and find the support page. After you unzip the downloaded file you will see 2 files. One will be the update and the other will be a folder with instructions in a variety of languages.
Basically, what you do is:
Have a well charged battery.
Transfer the update file to your memory card. Do not put it in a folder, just dump it onto the card.
In your camera's menu go to the section designated by the wrench head icon.
At the bottom of page 6 under that icon you will see "Firmware".
Click on that. It will show the firmware currently in your camera, and probably your lens also.
Select the camera and do the update.
Format your card when done and you are good to go. You don't really need to format but why have that file taking up space on your card when you are done with it?

Has 1.7.0 for the R5 been released? I just went to the Canon Support page for the R5 and 1.6.0 of July 22 is listed as the latest version. Ditto for R6
There are new updates for DPP and others. No 1.7.0 for R5 & 6.

That link takes me to this page, where FW v 1.6.0 dtd 7/22/22 is the first available. 1.7.0 is not listed.
I was able to find it on the Australian Canon site but not the US site.

Don't know what to tell you. When I click on it, which I just did three times, it always takes me to the correct page.

If you look back a couple messages, last night, at midnight local time, I clicked at the link, which took me to the 1.7.0 download webpage. Less than 5 minutes later, my camera was updated. Iām as baffled as you are. š¤

Thanks for the info, I'll update my R6 asap.

Is it necessary to re-format the card after the firmware is loaded in the camera? Or is it so insignificant that it doesn't matter?
