EOS R5 Firmware Update Version 2.2.1

20th November 2025

Firmware Version 2.2.1 incorporates the following enhancement and fix.

1. Fixes an issue that, in rare instances, may prevent certain CFexpress cards from being formatted in the camera.

2. Fixes an issue that may prevent the camera's firmware from being updated via an Internet connection, even when a newer firmware version is available on Canon servers.

Please perform the firmware update with only the firmware file to be updated stored on the memory card.

If the camera's firmware is already Version 2.2.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
