The Canon Eos R5 is a mirrorless camera that can cover the area of 1053 AF areas using dual-pixel CMOS AF sensors. Moreover, it has deep learning technology that tracks people or animals. These facilities will be improved when the Canon R5 device gets the latest firmware update.

Let’s talk about the things you need to update, the updating process, and its importance.

What Are Things Necessary For Updating The Camera To The Latest Version?

While updating the camera’s Firmware, you should ensure some things for the camera. And these are-

  • The latest version of the Firmware
  • Formatted SD card
  • Fully charged battery

Firmware-

The latest firmware version for the canon R5 camera is 1.5.2 in 2022, and you must download it from Canon’s official website. The address of the Canon camera is https://www.usa.canon.com. From there, you can install the Firmware.

Formatted Sd Card

You should have a formatted sd card for your camera, and the formatting process should be done from the camera, not from the computer. Moreover, the sd card memory should be 64–128 GB, as it is recommended by the Canon authority while updating the camera’s Firmware.

Do not forget to make a copy of the videos or photos from the card before formatting it. Otherwise, all will be permanently deleted, and you cannot retrieve them.

Battery

Check whether the camera’s battery is fully charged or not. This is necessary because updating the Firmware takes some time. And that time, if the battery charge drains out, the firmware update will not occur.
