2. Improves the stability of the touch operation control when the Touch Control is set to Sensitive.
3. Fixes an issue in which the camera LCD display may become abnormal after the camera resumes operations from the viewfinder off state.
4. Fixes an issue in which the camera may stop working properly when the shutter button is operated while the BUSY message is being displayed on the screen.
5. Fixes an issue in which Err70 may be displayed when the display mode is switched between the LCD screen and viewfinder while the BUSY message is being displayed on the screen.
6. Fixes an issue in which the camera LCD display may become abnormal after using EOS Utility to capture and import movies.
7. Fixes an issue in which movies captured using EOS Utility may not be played back on the camera.
8. Optimizes the auto white balance for specific environments when the Custom Picture function is set to ON.

An additional R5 II firmware update will be released later this year, adding 24p/23.98p recording when powered by the LP-E6NH battery.

"The recommended battery choice for the EOS R5 Mark II is the new LP-E6P, but as consumers have voiced their requests for 24.00p/23.98p video recording when using the LP-E6NH, Canon felt it was important to release the upcoming firmware." [Canon USA]
