Canon has released firmware updates for its four R-series mirrorless cameras plus the EOS-1D X Mark III and the RF 50mm F1.2 L USM lens.
Firmware version 1.2.0 for the EOS R5 and R6 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:

When using high-speed or low-speed continuous shooting modes, in Drive Mode with [High Speed Display: OFF], the visibility of the subject within the frame has been improved when shooting moving objects.* *During continuous shooting black frames will be inserted between frames in the viewfinder and live view. This will improve the visibility of moving subjects in live view and in the viewfinder.

3. Enables 2nd curtain shooting sync during radio transmission wireless flash shooting when the Speedlite EL-1 flash is attached to the camera.
