SUMMARY

Canon will release significant firmware updates this summer for its C series and R5 C cinema cameras. The updates will enable control of camera settings like recording start/stop, iris, shutter speed, and ISO directly from compatible DJI gimbals via USB-C for the Canon C400, C80, and C50. Additionally, the Canon C400 will receive exposure ramping compensation for zoom lenses, and several models will feature a refreshed level view that turns green when the camera is level. Other improvements include SRT Stream protocol auto-reconnect for livestreaming and various feature catch-ups for the Canon C50.
