Canon’s photo-focused flagship mirrorless camera, the EOS R1, is getting a nice little firmware update that hybrid shooters might be interested in. Primarily designed for photojournalists, sports photographers, wildlife shooters, and other image-makers who occasionally incorporate video content, the Canon R1 is certainly a versatile workhorse option.

Powered by a full-frame 24MP BSI stacked sensor and plenty of next-gen features, the Canon R1 has a lot to offer to the right crowd. However, this new firmware update should make it even more appealing—again, mostly for photographers though.

Let’s take a look at everything new coming to the Canon R1 with this firmware version 1.2.0.
