Canon has released a significant firmware upgrade for both the EOS R6 and the 1DX Mark III. Both cameras get simultaneous recording to both cards, a really handy feature that I know a lot of people wanted as well as the highly anticipated Canon Log 3.

1. Adds [Canon Log 3] to [Canon Log settings]. 
2. Simultaneous movie recording on card 1 and card 2 has been added.
