The update adds the ability to select a face with an RF lens control ring or the camera’s control dial. Further, improved head detection allows the R5 C to detect a subject’s head, even when the subject is looking backwards. The AF frame also changes size based on the subject detected during tracking.

In addition, power save mode improvements extend recording time by approximately 30% in 4K/60p. Plus enhanced clear scan in the shutter mode menu reduces potential flicker during LED wall usage.

Furthermore, the update improves usage with Canon’s dual fisheye lens. It adds the ability to switch from left to right lens during VR recording when using magnify and enables 2x magnification when recording in 8K.

Another R5 C update reduces switching time between photo and video mode. It’s approximately 40% faster from photo to video and 70% faster from video to photo.

Other Firmware Upgrades

New firmware updates also expand the operational convenience of the EOS C70, EOS C500 Mark II and EOS C300 Mark III cameras. The EOS C70 camera will support added lenses, expanding to the Cine-Servo 15–120mm lens and the newly launched Flex Zoom 14–35mm.
