Summary
- Canon has released firmware 1.3.2 for the EOS R5 Mark II
- It fixes a potential restart while shooting with Dual Pixel RAW enabled
- Live View delay when using EOS Multi Remote has been improved
- A linked shooting issue when the sender camera is connected to an FTP server has been fixed
- Canon also reports improved overall operational stability
Canon has released firmware 1.3.2 for the EOS R5 Mark II, addressing issues involving Dual Pixel RAW, EOS Multi Remote and linked professional shooting workflows.
The new version officially became available on September 8, 2026 and includes four changes, with one of the most notable for many photographers being a fix for an issue that could cause the camera to restart while shooting with Dual Pixel RAW enabled.
Although this is a relatively minor firmware update rather than an upgrade introducing a large number of new features, the fixes affect scenarios that can directly impact professional workflows, especially when multiple cameras, remote control or FTP file transfer are being used.
What firmware 1.3.2 fixes
According to Canon, firmware 1.3.2 contains four specific changes.
- It improves an issue where the Live View display could experience a delay while shooting through the EOS Multi Remote app.
- It also fixes an issue with linked shooting through EOS Multi Remote, where a receiver camera could fail to capture an image when the sender camera was simultaneously connected to an FTP server.
- The third fix concerns Dual Pixel RAW. In certain situations, the EOS R5 Mark II could restart during shooting while the feature was enabled.
- Finally, Canon reports an overall improvement in operational stability.
Why the EOS Multi Remote changes matter
The first two fixes are fairly specialized, but they concern precisely the kind of workflows where reliability matters more than the addition of a new creative feature.
EOS Multi Remote is used to coordinate and remotely control multiple compatible cameras. In linked shooting, a problem preventing a receiver camera from capturing an image can result in missed frames, while a Live View delay makes real-time production monitoring more difficult.
The reference to FTP connectivity also shows why this fix can matter in environments where images need to be delivered quickly after capture, including sports events, news assignments and other professional productions.
A Dual Pixel RAW issue is also fixed
Potentially more relevant to photographers using the EOS R5 Mark II as a standalone camera is the fix involving Dual Pixel RAW.
Support for DPRAW was added to the EOS R5 Mark II with firmware 1.3.0, together with a broader set of changes affecting autofocus, video, connectivity and shooting functions.
With version 1.3.2, Canon now addresses an issue that could cause the camera to restart while shooting with Dual Pixel RAW enabled. For photographers who use the feature, this fix alone provides a practical reason to move to the latest firmware.
Several significant updates came before it
Firmware 1.3.2 arrives after a period of fairly active software development for the EOS R5 Mark II.
In May 2026, firmware 1.3.0 added American Football to Action Priority, improvements to Register People Priority, new video capabilities, Dual Pixel RAW support and changes to EOS Multi Remote. Version 1.3.1 followed, fixing an issue that could affect camera operation when Touch & Drag AF was used with Whole Area AF.
PTTL had already covered the previous major firmware improvements for the EOS R5 Mark II, which expanded autofocus, connectivity, pre-continuous shooting and CFexpress card support.
Availability and installation
Firmware 1.3.2 is available through Canon’s official EOS R5 Mark II support page. Canon notes that no update is required if the camera is already running version 1.3.2.
The firmware file is named R5213200.FIR and has a size of 261,348,560 bytes. Canon also provides firmware update instructions and recommends reviewing them carefully before starting the installation process.
What we think
Firmware 1.3.2 does not transform the EOS R5 Mark II in the same way as the much larger 1.3.0 release, but its fixes are still meaningful. Resolving a potential Dual Pixel RAW restart and EOS Multi Remote issues is primarily about reliability rather than adding features — and in a professional camera, that reliability can be more important than another new function.
