Canon releases firmware v1.3.1 for the Canon EOS R6

[Fischer]

Not a high point for Canon for sure. But good they fixed it very fast.

Well, thats was a fast fix, nice Canon! Thats should not have happend in the first place, but at least they fixed it fast.

Yes, there are Mac and Windows versions to those who are asking. But the download isn't working properly. It opens a blank, white browser window and nothing happens. No download begins. Just another April Fool's joke from Canon?

I was able to download & install the update (Mac version).

it's phenomenal!

You mean Mahna Mahna?

1.3.0 (April fools)
1.3.1 (real deal)

Something of a phenomenon

Or several phenomena!

So. Had my R6 for about 6 months now, several thounsand shots taken and the view finder froze up on me today for the first time. Also the first time ive used my R6 since updating to v1.3.1...

No All-I, No Aperture priority mode for video, 10 bit with only clog, 4k always has slight crop, and overheating. I really wanted to buy the R6 because I love canon color science but I went with the A7siii. Got it for $3148 with the edu discount and then got $350 cash back from sony rewards app and another $350 gift card from another sony promotion. Plus, all the good canon lenses are over 2k.

Hi folks,

is anyone else noticing a lower minimum EVF framerate with the new firmware, like 25 or 20fps in low light situations?

Same happened to me. Shut down, battery out/in and turning on again fixed it. Had just mounted the RF 100-500mm when it happened. Hope its a one-off.

Yes, that's exaxtly what I did. Had a bit of a session the other day since that happened and it did'nt happen again once. How is that 100-500 working out? Iv'e been using a Sigma 100-400 and it actually manages reasonably well, i'd imagine the 100-500 rf performs significantly better...
