Canon has announced that a new firmware update for the EOS R and EOS RP is now available for download. As part of the effort to continuously improve on the user’s experience every step of the way, the new firmware update improves on both cameras’ auto-focus capabilities and ensures that users never miss out on a shot.

This new firmware version offers the following key areas of improvement, enhanced for a seamless experience with the EOS R (v1.4.0) & EOS RP (v1.3.0):

1. Enhances eye detection Auto Focus (AF) for improved face and eye recognition at greater distances.
2. Improved Auto Focus (AF) performance helps the camera to focus on smaller subjects.
3. Reduced lag time between the actual Auto Focus (AF) and the AF frame display for images in the viewfinder or on the LCD.

With this firmware update, Canon delivers on its promise of “Delighting You Always”, ensuring that users have more control over their craft and are empowered to capture the shots they want.

The firmware update is available for download via the following links:

This bar, Risky Business, is inspired by Holloywood hearthrob Tom Cruise and paying tribute to his iconic films and acting from his movies “Risky Business” and “Cocktail”. Risky Business is a cosy and classy bar with a floor size of 1,100 sq ft 80 seater bar located at Duxton Hill. Enter into Risky Business, you might be brought back in time, with the various Tom Cruise movie posters on the walls of Risk Business Bar. If you are a Top Gun movie fan, all the movie posters there would definitely bring you back nostalgic memories.

Inside Risky Business Bar, the bright and colourful walls would draw your attention, the decoration draws inspiration from the movies “Risky Business” and “Cocktail”, this is the brainchild of Jamie Gripton, who is also behind Pandora’s Garden, Singapore’s first rose bar at Ann Siang House.

Visiting Risky Business on their official opening night, tasting a few of their classic cocktails on the menu, they were great, providing classic bar beverages complementing their ambience and bar setup.

If you are a cocktail drinks fan, I highly recommend you to visit Risky Business Bar and check the following cocktail drinks, their bar’s signature drinks ($18+)

You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling is a Ketel One vodka-powered Cosmopolitan that draws inspiration from the scene where ‘Magnolia’ co-star Julianne Moore drinks Ketel One in the movie.

Your Ego is Writing Cheques your Body Can’t Cash is another case in point. A heady pour of rum and bourbon, the cocktail is sure to receive a standing ovation like some of Cruise’s critically-acclaimed hits such as ‘Vanilla Sky’, ‘Eyes Wide Shut’, or ‘Born on the 4th of July’. The drink, named after the famous quote from 1985 action drama Top Gun, is inspired by the classic Old Fashioned.

Other stars on the menu, include You Can’t Handle the Vermouth inspired by the movie ‘A Few Good Men’ that featured a heavyweight cast of Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, and Kevin Bacon among others. The cocktail is a twist on the Negroni and the highlight is the napkin stamped with the words “You can’t handle the Vermouth” that comes with the drink in a play on the famous quote from the movie.

If you are feeling hungry and looking for something to eat, there are nibbles and hearty fare from L’Entrecôte, the French steakhouse right next door. Nothing is ‘Mission Impossible’ for this Tom Cruise loving crew, as Risky Business is Tom Cruise fanatic fan and inspired!

Happy Hour is between 5pm to 7pm, check out their $11 Asahi Draft, 1 for 1 weekly classic cocktails and a welcome drink for the ladies every Thursday Ladies Night.

Looking for a nice and cosy bar to hang out, chat with friends, reminisce on the classic films, have some nice cool and classic cocktails to enjoy, why not visit Risky Business at Duxton Hill? If you are a Tom Cruise fan, you would love this place!

Packed with such huge publicity and attention, the Canon EOS R was a popular camera and I only got the opportunity to review this camera recently, after Canon announced the Canon EOS RP full-frame mirrorless on 14^th February 2019, a low cost mirrorless full-frame camera  to join the Canon EOS R family. The Canon EOS RP did not receive as much publicity and attention compared to her older sibling, the Canon EOS R.

With these two new Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera models available, this was also a suitable time for my parents to upgrade from Canon’s first mirrorless camera, the EOS M to Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera.

I was able to have the Canon EOS R (a review unit) and Canon EOS RP (a shared new family camera) both together at the same time, giving my ideas and inspirations to create the Canon EOS RP Explorer Stories – Shot on Canon EOS R, a continuation from my “New Profile Photos, A New Adventure Begins” and “Follow me on my Canon Mini Photo Prints Adventures” photography stories.

The new Canon EOS RP also marks  the start of a new journey, learning a new skill – filmmaking / videography, to complement and expand my current skills and knowledge, holding truth to my personal and professional philosophy on lifelong learning. I have embarked on learning how to be a director of photography, the camera man, the cinematographer, to planning and writing my own script, ideas and story boards, through learning from my friends who are film and video trained and getting hands on with the Canon EOS R and Canon EOS RP.

Coming soon, the Canon EOS R review article would be published first, followed by the Canon EOS RP review article. I would also share on why I (and my family) chose the Canon EOS RP over the Canon EOS R. On the other hand, I am also looking at adding on my experiences and thoughts from the Canon EOS R and Canon EOS RP to this photography article that I recently published “The Canon Mirrorless Journey from EOS M to EOS R”

A very short teaser and introductory video “Canon EOS RP Explorer Stories”, shot on Canon EOS R by fellow EOS WorldCommunity Ambassador Isaac Ong. My Canon EOS RP Explorer Stories is a work-in-progress, I hope to shoot a few more location scenes (based on my script, expectations, directions and locations) before asking for friends’ help to edit and put them together into a short film.

Here’s another short film/video of the Canon EOS R in action. Presenting a sneak preview of Carpmael Street Bazaar, they are opening very soon in the month of March 2019! An Antique Centre Atelier by Vintage Flea Market by The Retro Factory.

A new journey, a new hope, a new adventure, I am looking forward to learning and improving my skills and knowledge in filmmaking, thus giving me an added edge to my photography services portfolio and also to my creative + digital agency collaboration business approach with friends who are professionals and experts in their respective fields.

Back home in Singapore, I was introduced to Katong Square Lifestyle & Vintage Market organised by The Retro Factory (maybe Q4 2016 or Q1 2017?) and I made new friends who are part of the community there! I also covered and published articles on The Katong Square Lifestyle & Vintage Market, that is held on the second weekend of the month, do note it down on your calendar! Whenever I visit Katong Square Lifestyle & Vintage Market, I always look around for “new arrivals”, look what I got from one of my visits!

Over a period of time, chatting and hanging out with like-minded retro, vintage and lifestyle flea market friends at Katong Square Lifestyle & Vintage Market, I got to know about Carpmael Street Bazaar. The Carpmael Street Bazaar by The Retro Factory is Singapore’s First Antique Centre Concept Bazaar with Individual Collectors coming together to present Retro, Vintage & Antique Treasures to the vintage, retro, heritage, conservation and preservation enthusiasts in Singapore.

Here’s a sneak preview of Carpmael Street Bazaar, they are opening very soon in the month of March 2019! An Antique Centre Atelier by Vintage Flea Market by The Retro Factory.
