Canon Ships Firmware 1.1.0 for EOS R6 Mark III and R6 V, Adding Vlogging Tools

3 articles · Updated · canonrumors.com · Jul 24

Summary

  • Firmware 1.1.0 adds close-up demo autofocus and grid display during movie recording on Canon’s EOS R6 Mark III and EOS R6 V, extending video-focused controls across manual, auto-exposure and other Creative Zone modes.
  • The update also adds support for Canon’s BR-E2 Wireless Remote Controller and the EDSDK/CCAPI software development kit, broadening remote-control and integration options.
  • Canon said the release fixes FTP image-transfer failures tied to Err41, shooting problems triggered by auto power-off during interval timer use, and USB smartphone-recognition issues.
  • It also corrects inaccurate movie digital IS metadata output below 24 fps in Slow&Fast Motion mode and includes broader operational stability improvements.
  • Earlier details on the same 1.1.0 rollout said the EOS R6 V also gains flash support—limited to 1/60s sync with Canon Multi-Interface Speedlites—addressing a key gap for hybrid shooters.
