New Firmware Update 1.3.0 for Canon EOS R5

Canon EOS R5 firmware 1.3.0 is here!!! Who’s excited from some Canon Log3, lower bit rates for easier editing and some other goodies. There are 11 updates to the firmware in total and I’ll list them below. Personally I have my fingers crossed and am hoping that Canon did a little more to address the overheating and cool down time on the EOS R5. That would really be nice to see. Although with the EOS R5C rumour floating around who knows what will happen. I have a link to the firmware on Canon’s website down below as well as a tutorial on how to update your R5 firmware for anybody who needs it.
