- Does not fix issue of missing zebra highlight warnings in stills mode

Is that 'an issue'? Or merely something you want, in which case there's no 'fix' needed, you're asking for an additional feature.

It's disgusting that the r6 is deprived of the heat update!! This device is really the brand's black cat!! With the problem of the shoe that breaks! No automatic diaphragm when he does it in full auto! In short, we should make a petition

C’est scandaleux que le r6 ne recoit pas lui aussi la mise a jour concernant la limite de la chauffe ! Pourquoi lui non !! Entre le problème du diaphragme automatique et le sabot du flash qui casse c est pas normal

Any chance they will ever fix the IS wobbles on wide angle lenses? It’s so bad, you just have to crop, stabilize or turn off IS and set up a gimbal.

Zebras are a great feature for stills. Canon needs to look closely at adding this feature. It is one of the advantages of Sony cameras.

No pre-shooting still???
What is Canon waiting for to add this feature to R6/R5?
Nikon Z9 got it with the latest firmware!!

After many years of passive reading on this blog, I just made a account to say that I like this Update.
It's so bad, that I don't even have to update my R6

No, the real black cat is the EOS R, a very capable camera that hasn’t gotten any updates since…shoot, it’s been way to long…

Ehrm... that's what they did in this update?

Would like to see review to see what they have broken with this "update" .

I would have liked the depth compositing but didn't expect it to be included.

(Although apparently you can only update using the memory card method, so it's for the best they haven't included anything I wanted).

Well considering it’s available on video modes and is a standard on brands like Fuji or Sony, I’d say it’s an issue not having it.

No, they just enhanced the digital IS. At the least giving the option to turn off ibis but keep lens stabilization on is needed.
