Canon R5 owners can now download the latest software for their favorite 8K camera. It seems that Firmware 1.5.0 fixes an issue, in which noise occurs along the edges of bright subjects when using Canon Log for movie recording.
This update also improves detection performance for a wide variety of situations including tracking different objects such as helmets or goggles alongside enhanced eye detection in more challenging conditions, person’s torso detection, and more.
Additionally, it optimizes controls of In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) when using specific EF lenses not equipped with the image stabilization function and adds support for the RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens. You can check out the full details regarding this software update below.
