Thanks for any advice offered.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 19 Feb 2022 17:10:31 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-updated-my-R5s-to-firmware-1-5-1-in-M-mode-instead-of-P-mode/m-p/363524#M85670 Alaska4Jim 2022-02-19T17:10:31Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-updated-my-R5s-to-firmware-1-5-1-in-M-mode-instead-of-P-mode/m-p/363527#M85671 <P>I can't see any reason why this would make a difference.&nbsp; I have updated my cameras in whatever mode they happen to be in.&nbsp; &nbsp;According to my understanding, the process to upgrade firmware engages in the BIOS stack way below where a user will choose an operational mode, and thus that mode is irrelevant.</P> Sat, 19 Feb 2022 18:22:28 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-updated-my-R5s-to-firmware-1-5-1-in-M-mode-instead-of-P-mode/m-p/363527#M85671 Tronhard 2022-02-19T18:22:28Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/I-updated-my-R5s-to-firmware-1-5-1-in-M-mode-instead-of-P-mode/m-p/363528#M85672 <P>Thank you very much for your reply.
