    Hi all ,

    I just invested in a R5ii with a bunch of lenses.
    What is the best way to get updated on new FW on lenses and body?
    Register the gear on canon ?

    Camera - historically has been through connecting to computer and using the canon utility. Also you can download and place the firmware on a formatted CF card and install from that.

    I don't have newer mirroless bodies,

    But for lenses seems you also use the memory card in a supported body. Remember 1 firmware update at a time on a freshly formatted card. When you download the firmware update they used to give instructions on how this process works.
