  • Firmware Version 1.5.0 incorporates the following fixes and enhancements:

    1. Improves head detection performance to support helmets or goggles in winter sports.
    2. Adds [Vehicles] selection to [Subject to detect] selection in the [AF] tab to support the detection of automobiles and motorcycles in motorsports. Adds [Spot detection] when [Vehicles] is selected as the helmet of the driver or rider.
    3. Detection may not be possible for ordinary passenger cars or bicycles, or for motorcyclists performing stunts or kicking up dirt and dust.

    7. Eliminates the center press operation of the multi-controller to prevent accidentally transferring images during FTP transfer.
    8. Adds the ability, when using EOS Utility or Browser Remote for remote shooting with two cards inserted, to set the recording method and to select which card to be recorded to.
    9. Adds [Suppress lower frame rate] to [Smooth] in [Disp. performance], enabling the shooting screen to be displayed with less drop frame rate even in dark locations.
    10. Changes the default value of [FTP server] → [Passive mode] to [Enable].
    11. Improves operation stability during FTP transfer.
    12. Optimizes controls of In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) when using specific EF lenses not equipped with the image stabilization function.

    Because Canon is not worried about it getting warm.

    It can be plenty of reasons, like multiple cuts and lot of bad new young engineers in the teams.

  • There is only one thermal pad and none at all on the main processor, because Canon is not worried about it getting warm.
