Firmware Version 1.5.0 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:
1. Enables functions to be used without limitation in conjunction with the new Battery Pack LP-E6P.
This makes it possible to shoot at the same continuous shooting speed as when using LP-E6NH.
In-camera charging of LP-E6P is also supported.
2. Adds [Protect Images] and [Rating] during FTP Transfer.
3. Adds support for the "Peripheral Coordinated Control". Peripheral Coordinated Control is now always performed when a compatible lens is attached (there is no need to set it on the menu screen).
* Peripheral Coordinated Control is a function that reduces changes in distortion around the periphery of the image caused by camera shake, which tends to occur with wide-angle lenses.
4. The following issues have been fixed.
 4-1. Fixes an issue, in which when performing continuous shooting using the electronic shutter with both the [High-Frequency Anti-Flicker Shooting] and [OVF sim. view assist] options set to [On], Err 70 may occur.
 4-2. Fixes an issue, in which when Wi-Fi is disconnected, Err 70 occurs.
 4-3. Fixes an issue, in which when performing shooting in high-speed continuous shooting + mode with the [Highlight Tone Priority] option set to [ON], focus may not be achieved when certain ISO speed settings are used.
 
I have the firmware 1.5.0 installed on my R62. I have my file name set as R62B. Instead of the IMG_.
But Now when I take a photograph the File name comes up _62Bxxxx. the Leading R is replaced with the _.. I had no issues prior to the 1.5.0 install. I went and tried to reset the file name but no luck. I have NOT reset camera yet. Anyone else have this issue? I got it when using the RF 100-400 and tested also with the RF 24-105 F4 same issue. Should I reset camera? How do I report issues?

Is your color space set to Adobe RGB? That forces file names to start with _.

I have found with the firmware v1.5.0, now and then, if the camera goes into sleep mode and I bring it up to my eye before pressing the shutter button to wake it up, sometimes it will stay asleep and refuse to wake up. Even turning the power on and off makes no difference, only a battery pull/reinsert brings it back to life. As a workaround, I've got to keep telling myself press the shutter button half way to wake it up with the body away from me so the back LCD is the active display and then once it lights up, proceed with looking into the viewfinder, but it's annoying.
