Attention Canon Engineers, can we please get these updates to the R5 Mark II?:
1. 4k/60p oversampled in the R5 Mark II via a firmware update? I know many photographers who have been waiting on this and we are hoping it's going to be released with a new firmware update.
2. I would also like the ability to shoot more than 1fps in interval timer mode. Please give us the option to shoot up to 30fps in interval timer mode until the camera hits the buffer, and be able to select different fps such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 in this mode. This will be very useful for a multi cam setup where you are trying to get different angles of a fast action scene.
3. I would like the ability to over ride the photo/video switch and use the M-fn button to switch modes like we had on the original R5. Adding the switch on the left side is a step backwards for hybrid shooters who quickly need to switch modes back and forth. I could do this on the R5 without lifting my hand off my lens or body, but now on the R5 Mark II we need either a 3rd hand or we need to reach over to flip the switch which means taking one hand off the shutter button or lens. This is no good. Please give us an option to over ride the switch and use the M-fn button like we used to on the R5.
For any other R5 Mark II owners, please add your feedback.

Hello,
I
Especially agree on:
4K/60p oversampled – would be a huge win via firmware.
Interval timer with higher FPS – essential for action/timelapse shooters.
M-Fn button override – bring back that seamless hybrid workflow.
