Image: Canon Happy Friday, folks. This week, Canon has reintroduced new firmware for the EOS R1 and R5 II. It brings new features and bug fixes to both models. Additionally, Fujifilm has announced new firmware for seven cameras that offer minor updates and fixes.
Without further ado, let's dive in.

Canon initially released firmware for the R1 and R5 II last week. Those updates came at the same time as new firmware for a list of other models, but Canon had to pull the R1 and R5 II upgrades after discovering an error. It's fixed that error, and the firmware is again ready for download. If you downloaded and installed the pulled version, make sure to update to the one released on July 24 (version numbers below) to avoid any potential issues.
Canon EOS R5 II Ver 1. 1. 1
There are quite a few updates for the R5 II. It adds automatic flicker detection at 100 or 120Hz when using Live View and improves image stabilization control with lenses compatible with Peripheral Coordinated Control. Sports photographers will benefit from the option to expand Servo AF to better focus on subjects behind nets, and it promises improved AF tracking during video with difficult-to-focus subjects.
You can also now set the number of shots captured in pre-continuous shooting mode. And, it adds the ability to turn on Exposure Simulation when using a flash unit.
Additionally, Ver 1. 1. 1 adds compatibility with CFexpress cards up to 8TB. Canon does note that cards larger than 2TB cannot be used for updating firmware, though. Plus, like the other recent Canon firmware updates, it enables firmware updates when the camera is connected to the internet.
If you previously downloaded Ver 1. 1. 0, this update fixes the two potential issues associated with that version.

The EOS R1 shares most of the same updates as the R5 II. That includes automatic flicker detection at 100 or 120Hz when using Live View, internet-based firmware updates, the option to expand Servo AF to improve focus on subjects behind nets and improved AF tracking during video capture with difficult-to-focus subjects. It also adds compatibility with 8TB CFexpress cards and Exposure Simulation with flash units.
The R1 gets the added benefit of Panning Assist, which applies image stabilization and subject blur correction during exposure when panning with compatible lenses.
