I did upgrade of my r6 to firmware to 1.8.0 and it basically made a brick out my camera. In C1-3 modes it does not shoot at all moreover it was even refusing to turn off with mw ef 500 f/4 ii attached. Everying written here I fully confirm including error 70 https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R6-Firmware-1-8-0-Causing-Error-70/td-p/408451

I had to use trick described here https://petapixel.com/how-to-downgrade-canon-camera-firmware/ to reverse to 1.7.0 (I used Method 1 it worked). One detail my r6 was bought just a year ago.

Oh wow, wish it all worked out in the end for you! Thank you for the feedback! At this moment I guess a firmware update is a no go.
