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.

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

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.

Two things. First, for some reason, Canon USA did not have the firmware for all the OS's posted. I am on Windows 11 x64. I changed the selection to Windows 10 (not x64) and found the ZIP file and downloaded it just fine.

However when I tried to install it, my camera also said this firmware was older than the 1.0.1 currently installed. Very odd.

I had the same issue. Remove one of the memory cards.
