Canon released new firmware updates for the EOS R6 Mark III and EOS R6 V cameras this week. Arguably the biggest addition of all is the ability to shoot with flash on the R6 V. <\/p>\n
While the Canon EOS R6 V<\/a> is undoubtedly better suited to video than photography, the camera does have many of the same still photography capabilities as the R6 III<\/a>, albeit without that camera\u2019s mechanical shutter. <\/p>\n It was this lack of a shutter that presumably led to the R6 V shipping a couple of months ago without the ability to use flash. The R6 III, for example, is not compatible with flash when set to its electronic shutter option. <\/p>\n For that matter, the R6 V is still very limited with flash. Although Canon doesn\u2019t offer specifics on its R6 V firmware page<\/a>, DPReviewnotes<\/a> that flash on the R6 V is limited to a maximum sync speed of just 1\/60s, which is very slow. <\/p>\n It is also worth recalling that the R6 V lacks a traditional five-pin hotshoe. It works with Canon\u2019s Multi-Interface-equipped Speedlite units, but not traditional flashes. <\/p>\n Nonetheless, it\u2019s nice to have the option to use flash on the R6 V, as that was a rather notable omission for hybrid shooters. <\/p>\n Other improvements introduced in firmware 1.1.0 include support for Canon\u2019s new BR-E2 Wireless Remote Controller, support for Canon\u2019s SDK, bug fixes, and improved \u201coperational stability,\u201d the most popular update in firmware history. <\/p>\n The Canon EOS R6 III is also now at version 1.1.0<\/a>. Compatibility with the BR-E2 has been added, and Canon has introduced SDK support for the R6 III, too. <\/p>\n Canon has also added the option to set autofocus for close-up demos to the camera\u2019s menus and the option to set a grid display during movie recording, features that were already available in the R6 V. <\/p>\n Canon also addressed some potentially frustrating bugs, like FTP errors, an issue with interval shooting, and a USB problem. And, as always, operational stability is better now. <\/p>\n Firmware 1.1.0<\/a> for the Canon EOS R6 V and the EOS R6 III<\/a> is available to download now. <\/p>\n Image creditsProduct photo by Erin Thomson for PetaPixel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canon released new firmware updates for the EOS R6 Mark III and EOS R6 V cameras this week.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[672,148200,252875,57141,9163,85,46,125],"class_list":["post-558031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-canon","tag-canonr6iii","tag-canonr6v","tag-firmwareupdate","tag-flash","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1784929089_851_maxresdefault.jpg\")
