As it had assured consumers back in October 2019, Canon has released a firmware update for its EOS M6 Mark II camera that adds a 24p (23. 98fps) mode that was inexplicably missing from the camera until now.
Canon has already released firmware for the other camera systems it promised 24p modes for, including the EOS 90D and EOS RP, so the new 1. 1. 0 update for the EOS M6 Mark II wraps up its response to customer feedback regarding the lack of a 24p mode when shooting video.
In addition to adding the 24p mode, the update also fixes an issue wherein the focus position of the lens returns to the home position if the camera powers off while in ‘Auto Power Off’ is turned on during ‘Interval Timing’ shooting as well as an issue that, ‘in rare cases’ would cause the camera to not focus at the edges of the image area.
The 1. 1. 0 firmware update is currently available to download (40MB) for both macOS and Windows computers on Canon’s EOS M6 Mark II product page.
Changelog:
Firmware Version 1. 1. 0 incorporates the following enhancement and fixes:
The option to capture movies in the frame rate of 23. 98p has been added.
Fixes the phenomenon where the focus position of the lens returns to the home position if the camera powers off due to the “Auto Power Off” setting during Interval Timing shooting.
Fixes the phenomenon in which, in rare cases, the camera may not autofocus at the edges of the image area.
Firmware Version 1. 1. 0 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1. 0. 1. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1. 1. 0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
When updating the firmware of the camera, please review the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware.
