R5 - Rumored new firmware

[Kayaker72]

Assuming this is all there is, you get the 400 MP pixel shift. I did not get RAW Burst mode. Translated from Canon Japan's website:

EOS R5 Firmware Version 1.8.1

Firmware changes

This firmware includes the following improvements and fixes:

• [IBIS Hi-Res Shooting] has been added to the menu. By utilizing the in-body image stabilization mechanism, it is now possible to record images with higher resolution.
  
  
  • ※To check your images, use the EOS Utility/Digital Photo Professional. EOS Utility/Digital Photo Professional requires updating.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Added [Save and read communication settings to card] to the menu. Network settings can now be transferred between cameras of the same model.
  
• It is now possible to crop and resize images during image transfer to an FTP server.
  
• Added "Image Protection" for FTP transfer to the menu. Images transferred via FTP can now be automatically protected. This allows you to determine whether the image has been transferred by FTP.
  
• Fixed minor bugs.

If the camera firmware is already version 1.8.1, you do not need to change the firmware. When making changes to the firmware, please read this page carefully before using the download service.







Canon USA still has 1.7 listed.

It will be interesting to try out 400MP, but there will have to be near perfect conditions to use it otherwise the pictures could be ruined. I was hoping that the RAW burst mode and the added auto focus modes would be available in this update. Hopefully they will drip feed us those down the road. Will update and try the pixel shift out as soon as my schedule allows.
