NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.3.0 FOR CANON EOS R5
Canon EOS R5 firmware 1.3.0 is here!!! Who’s excited from some Canon Log3, lower bit rates for easier editing and some other goodies. There are 11 updates to the firmware in total and I’ll list them below. Personally I have my fingers crossed and am hoping that Canon did a little more to address the overheating and cool down time on the EOS R5. That would really be nice to see. Although with the EOS R5C rumour floating around who knows what will happen. I have a link to the firmware on Canon’s website down below as well as a tutorial on how to update your R5 firmware for anybody who needs it.

3. Adds a high frame rate of 119.9 fps/100.0 fps to the Full HD movie recording size.
4. Adds [Electronic full-time MF] to the AF tab of the menu. When a lens is attached, manual focus adjustment is always possible with both One-shot AF and Servo AF.
5. Adds [6: Monitor Off] to [Shooting info. disp.: Screen info. settings] in the Shooting tab of the menu. This update makes it possible for the camera's monitor to be turned off at all times during shooting.
6. The transfer time (estimated value) now displays on the camera monitor during FTP transfer.
7. Adds the ability, when transferring images via FTP, to select protected images that failed to be transferred and protected images that have not yet been transferred and transfer them all at once.
8. Adds [Save/load cam settings on card] to the Function settings tab of the menu. This allows you to save the camera settings to a card, or load a saved file and restore the camera to the settings you saved to a card.
9. Fixes a phenomenon, in which, in rare instances, the camera does not function normally when using certain CFexpress cards.
10. Fixes a phenomenon, in which in rare instances, the camera cannot function normally when the drive mode is set to "High-speed continuous shooting" to shoot still images continuously.
11. Fixes a phenomenon in which the power may become suspended when the camera is powered via USB for an extended period of time. Firmware Version 1.3.0 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.2.1. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.3.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Unfortunately Canon has not removed that 30min record limit. I don’t understand why Canon insists upon keeping that limit while other popular camera manufacturers have removed that limitation.
