I installed the new firmware and tried using LP-E6NH batteries in my battery grip.  When powering up, I get the censor cleaning message, then a black screen.  It doesn't look like the update fixed the battery issue for me.

Has this been pulled from Canon USA as no longer visible?

Interesting that you brought this up. The firmware was initially released on the Canon Hong Kong website and through Canon connect... It was then made available on the Canon USA website.  However, I don't see it there now.  It is still available on the Canon Hong Kong website however.

I'm checking to see if it's been pulled or if anybody's talking about it.

It's there now (12/7/24) Canon U.S.A.

Just a reminder - Don't forget to pick up the latest manual 🙂

Odd, I'm unable to find it on 12/08/24

Hi chrishoesel,

I double checked the product page for the EOS R5 Mark II and the firmware is listed. The firmware can be downloaded HERE. Once you are on the web page click on the Software & Drivers button and it is listed in the recommended section.

If you still aren't seeing the firmware download it would be good to double check the device you are viewing the page on. The website automatically detects the operating system of the device you view the web page on, and if the device can't do the firmware update it wouldn't be listed. We would recommend viewing the page on a Windows or Apple computer with more recent operating systems.

The Hong Kong file refused to install since the camera issued an error that said the Firmware update 1.0.2 (from the Hong Kong site listed above) was older than the firmware on the camera (1.0.1)

No big deal.  Now I see that it is listed on 12/12/2024 in the USA products page.

The 1.0.2 firmware update was pushed to me via the Camera Connect app but would not install (get "Failed to transfer the firmware." message).  I just tried to find V1.0.2 on the R5 Mark ii downloads page but couldn't find either.

Correct, it isn't there (12/10/24). I downloaded it from the Canon U.S.A. support site for the R5 II on the date I indicated in my previous post. Now it's mysteriously unavailable. IIRC, fw 1.8.0 for the R5 was quickly pulled and replaced with 1.8.1. Who knows what they are up to? 🤔

I have it in my downloads directory, but haven't installed it. I always wait a while to update, especially if the fw doesn't correct or add anything that I'm concerned with.
