it was serious
, but it turns out that there was no problem if I updated it when there was a problem with the EOS M5.
I've already updated , so I'm relieved.
Additionally, units manufactured and shipped after January 17th no longer require an update.

My impression is that the combination of Model B011 and EOS M6 will be a little front heavy.
is also what I thought after
experiencing it in combination with the EOS M3, which has a similar shape ↓ However, being able to cover a focal length of 18-200mm without using a mount adapter is very convenient.
If you are purchasing an EOS M6 and have a device that requires a firmware update, we recommend that you request it as soon as possible.
By the way, in my case, I requested that the inside of the lens be cleaned at the same time, but it was still within the warranty period at the time I requested it, so they did it for free.
If you are concerned about dust inside the lens, it is a good idea to request this at the same time.
There's no need to worry about small dust particles that don't affect the image, but for mental health reasons, I'm glad I asked them to clean the inside of the lens as well.
