Canon has released a firmware update (version 1. 1. 1) for its EOS R6 mirrorless camera that brings with it a number of improvements previously given to the EOS R5 via a version 1. 1 firmware update late last month.
Additionally, Canon has released a small bug-fix update for the EOS R5 as well.
Starting with more substantial improvements to the EOS R6, firmware version 1. 1. 1 claims to improve the total recording time on the EOS R6. No specific performance increase metrics are given beyond saying the limit has been ‘improved,’ but we plan to put it to the test to find out.
Other major fixes in the firmware include improved in-lens image stabilization when shooting ‘certain’ RF lenses during movie recording and improved connectivity during FTP transmission. Smaller fixes include improved support with the RF 100–500mm F4. 5–7. 1 L IS USM lens and a number of menu fixes. You can download firmware version 1. 1. 1 for the Canon EOS R6 below:

Firmware version 1. 1. 1 for the EOS R5 is less substantial than the EOS R6 update, but is still worth mentioning and updating to if you’re an EOS R5 owner. The only changes include the same lens compatibility improvements for the RF 100–500mm F4. 5–7. 1 L IS USM lens as found in the EOS R6 firmware update. Specifically, Canon notes the following changes:
When the RF100–500mm F4. 5–7. 1 L IS USM lens is attached, an image stabilization effect of approximately six stops* is achieved through collaborative control with the in-lens image stabilization. *Focal length 500mm, Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards.
Fixes a phenomenon in which the IS capabilities may be degraded when performing continuous shooting in cases where the RF100–500mm F4. 5–7. 1 L IS USM lens is attached to the EOS R5 running firmware version 1. 1. 0.
