Canon Firmware Quality Control Wanting, R3 Update Pulled for Nuking Mode Dial

Canon took down its firmware update it just released for the flagship R3 because the new version effectively rendered the mode dial inoperable.

This is the third time in a year that firmware updates were rescinded by Canon within weeks of release. This one is particularly egregious as it wouldn’t take much testing to find this problem, versus other issues which surfaced only with more complicated and obscure use cases.
