R5/R6 Firmware 1.5.0 - Files removed from most Canon web site.

If Canon has pulled it then it would be across the globe!

Suspect it's a server glitch in europe or they suspect its corrupted, somehow!

I downloaded from UK and all is good :)
For what it's worth, the camera will not accept version 1.4 if 1.5 is installed
You can never go back :(
So they say, I found out!
It’s like the Micheal Corleone. If you try to get out they drag you back in.

I am sure Canon can do it, but I doubt if they would.

My buyer's remorse continues!
 
If there is a problem with firmware 1.5.0, no doubt Canon will soon provide a 1.5.1 file that will correct it.

That’s too bad. What are you planning to do?

I have to live with it, what else? I do like the R5 files, especially in DPP. Something I never though I would ever say. It is dreadfully slow, but I have a basic recipe that applies geometry correction and reduces the NR a bit, to all files.

Good thing I only take single exposures!
 
today I shotted BIF and squirrels, 800 pictures.
I once suffered a "black death." Helped to turn on and off.

Yes indeed, but why are they not communicating about that ?

I hate that.
 
Don’t upgrade, you lose the ability to lock on focus in servo or single shoot, it now auto focusses to eyes or faces even when not using eye AF… What a painc, I hope canon sort this out!
 
Until then I’ve gone back….

Really!. Not on my R5.
 
I removed cfexpress card whilst installing v1. 5 which worked fine. After updating I put the cfexpress card and sd card back their respective slots. Did not reformat either card. Took several test shots and all is working fine on both cards. After seeing info decided not to carry out a format of the cfexpress card and await any updated info.

Mines workings just fine. I have a lousy bird picture I use. Once it locked the eye it stayed. I moved the camera around very quickly. If it lost the eye it would go to body and then right back to the eye. It's no worse that it was before.

No disrespect but 2 posts and telling everyone not to update. Jeez. Where have we seen this before? ;-)

I installed my CFE, formatted it, installed the FW update on it, did the update and formatted the card again. I'm not seeing anything.
 
Twitter and Meta. Two places I trust for accurate information. I'm not saying the original post and others are not legit. It's how it evolves.

That's my last post on that topic. Don' want to be banned. Sorry MODS.

I'm on another well known site and not much there about anything. Not saying it has not happened. Hasn't to me.
