"If it aint broke, dont fix it!" against "The Fear of Missing Out". But wait, its 3D! What if I find that 1.1.1-bug in the middle of The Best Shoot of My Life? To do or not to do... I think I´ll wait for the 2.0.1!
I got the R5ii from FM seller and it arrived with FW 1.20...I immediately updated to 1.31 specifically for this feature...Adds the ability to assign [Pre‑continuous Shooting] to [Customize buttons for shooting].

👍 that’s why I updated to 1.3.1 (including the bug fixes for 1.3) already June 14th.

I use the M Fn button next to the shutter. Easier for me to find.
When it's assigned to the M Fn button, is that the only function the button will do, or are you able to add precapture to the list of options available as one of the M Fn settings? I currently have M Fn set up to toggle between ISO, drive modes and AF point options. I would consider adding precapture to these, rather than replacing them. But if that's not possible, I'd probably assign it to the LCD light button as that's about the only one in relatively easy reach that hasn't been reconfigured with an essential function.

I don't know, since I never actually used the M Fn button for anything else. I assign ISO to the back wheel and have three back-buttons set to autofocus in the different modes that I use.
I have a new R5 II and it shipped with 1.3.0. I've had the following happen in the 7 days I've been using it. New, high quality SD cards that seem to work well for others and worked well on my original R5.
1. First time I attempted to take a video I got an "Error 70" and had to remove the battery to get the camera to respond again. RF70-200 2.8 Lens, fresh battery. That has not happened again though but it was troubling since it was my first day out with the camera.
2. Ever since I took my first video, if the camera is in photo mode, if I hit the view button to view photos on the LCD I get this message: "MODE Movie <---> Still switching". I have no idea why but it stays up for a few seconds which is longer than you want if you are in a hurry. I have reformatted the SD cards and have turned the camera on and off, reset battery etc. It still persists regardless of how long the camera is in photo mode.
3. One video I took would not show up in-camera. I thought it had glitched and that I had lost the video. However, I was able to download the video and it was fine.
In my week of shooting grizzlies and the occasional wolf, I was able to take about 2000 successful shots and several videos with the camera so it is reliable overall but I didn't have as many strange things happen with the R5. Granted, when I bought my R5 the FW was well along. Loving the pre-capture and higher frame rate for catching animal activity.
Thinking of going to 1.3.1 since it seems to fix some things.
