Canon Firmware Updates (Page 8)
Canon Europe has made firmware Version 1.4.0 for the EOS RP available for download.
Firmware Version 1.4.0 incorporates the following enhancements:
1. The option to capture Full HD movies in the frame rate of 23.98p has been newly added.
2. Support for the RF85mm F1.2 L USM DS lens has been added.
From Canon U.S.A.:
In response to feedback from our customers about some of our recently launched EOS and PowerShot models, Canon plans to introduce 24p mode (23.98fps) for movie recording via a series of future firmware updates for select models. After the firmware updates are downloaded it will be possible to shoot 24p (23.98fps) in 4K and Full HD for the select models.
The first models to benefit will be the EOS 90D and EOS RP at the end of October. The PowerShot G7X Mark III and G5X Mark II will follow at the end of 2019 and the EOS M6 Mark II during the first half of 2020.
Canon is committed to providing a diverse and full line-up of products, listening to our customers and providing enhancements accordingly.

- Reduces lag time between the actual Auto Focus (AF) and the AF frame display for images in the viewfinder or on the LCD.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which Main dial icon may not appear when magnify/reduce button is pressed during the image playback.
- Fixes PTP communication vulnerability.
This update is related to the security advisory regarding to PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) communication functions and firmware update functions. Learn more here.

EOS-1D C Firmware Version 1.4.2
EOS-1D X Firmware Version 2.1.1
EOS 5D Mark III Firmware Version 1.3.6
EOS 5D Mark IV Firmware Version 1.2.1
From Canon U.S.A.:
In response to feedback from customers about the recently launched PowerShot G7 X Mark III, Canon U.S.A. plans to issue a firmware update that can help improve video autofocus speed, accuracy and subject detection performance.
This update will be free for all customers to download from the Canon U.S.A. website at the end of October 2019.
The Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III is in stock at B&H.
Did you notice the Canon EOS R and Canon EOS RP firmware announcement at the bottom of the Canon RF 15-35mm and 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens lens announcement press release?
Free Firmware Update
In addition, a new, free downloadable firmware update will be released in late September for the EOS R system. Those interested can download the update for their respective system via the EOS R and EOS RP support pages. The update will improve three main functions:
- Eye detection AF
- AF frame display delay
- Subject identification
The firmware update aims to add detection of the subject’s eye when the subject is at a distance, improve overall AF frame tracking for moving subjects, as well as improve initial subject recognition and start tracking when subjects are at a distance.
While I already find the R and RP's AF systems to be high performing, this update will take them to an even higher level of performance.
