Canon has released new firmware updates for its R6-series cameras, including the EOS R6 Mark III and EOS R6 V . While there's just a single fix in each update, it's the same important one: addressing an issue where image recording to the card may not complete.

Canon advises performing the firmware update with only the relevant firmware file stored on the memory card. After downloading the compressed file, you'll need to extract the ZIP archive to access the firmware file and the accompanying PDF instructions.

Here's an overview of the updates, download links and expert advice on when it's best to download firmware to your camera.

Pro Advice

If you caught Episode 4 of Bokeh Face: Digital Camera World podcast , above, we discussed the best time to install firmware updates, why they matter, and what issues they can cause. It's a helpful listen if you're unsure when – or if ever – you should update.

It's smart to wait a week or two after release to see if any users hit snags. In the past, brands have had a few hiccups with major updates – for instance, introducing memory-setting bugs or minor interface glitches before being reissued.
