If you are one of the few that lucky enough to already have a Canon R5 in your hands and shoot video with it, you’ll want to download and install Canon’s latest firmware update ASAP.
Keep in mind that this firmware update isn’t going to completely fix the overheating issues that plague the R5, but rather offers faster recovery/cool down times if the camera does overheat from prolonged use.
