Canon has released firmware version 1.1.0 for its EOS R6 V camera, delivering on a previously stated promise of external flash support. This update enables photographers and videographers to use speedlites with the camera for the first time. Elsewhere, The US government's security concerns over DJI, initially targeting drones, have led to the company being added to the FCC's Covered List. This ban now extends to DJI's cameras, preventing the Osmo Pocket 4 and 4P from being released in the US. Separately, The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens, available for Nikon Z and Sony E mounts, is praised for its compact and lightweight build, making it suitable for extended shooting periods.
