The update will improve the following three main functions:

  • Eye detection AF
  • AF frame display delay

The firmware update aims to add detection of the subject’s eye when the subject is at a distance, improve overall AF frame tracking for moving subjects, as well as improve initial subject recognition and start tracking when subjects are at a distance.

Those interested can download the update for their respective system via the EOS R and EOS RP support pages.
