Update History

This is the third round of Cinema EOS firmware this year. In June, Canon released EOS C50 version 1.0.4.1 and EOS C80/C400 version 1.0.6.1, which added USB-C camera control, improved level indicator visibility and SRT auto-reconnection. In August, the EOS C80 and EOS C400 moved to version 1.0.7.1 and gained Cinema Exposure mode, while the EOS C50 moved to version 1.0.5.1. Today’s updates focus on IP streaming security rather than new functionality.
