Canon has today released new firmware for the Canon EOS R1. Unfortunately, (rant warning) they still have not included the capability to bind pre-capture to an assignable button. A year on from the camera’s release, this really isn’t good enough – in fact, it’s borderline unforgivable. Yes, I know you can assign pre-capture to a custom shooting mode, but that is not the same. Even the newly announced Canon EOS R6 MKIII has this capability. At this point, the cynic in me would say that Canon will offer this capability in the EOS R1 MK2 in a few years’ time…. hrm….. Or perhaps I just need more coffee……
Firmware Version 1.2.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:
1. Adds support for the EOS Multi Remote, a remote shooting system for professional photographers.
For an overview and specifications of EOS Multi Remote, please refer to the Canon website:

2. Fixes an issue in which image transfers to an FTP server may fail, displaying Err41.
3. Fixes an issue that, in rare instances, may prevent certain CFexpress cards from being formatted in the camera.
4. Improves other system stability.
