adding a lot of new functionality to the camera, including a substantial increase in buffering capabilities. Rather than the minor incremental 1.0.1, 1.0.2 designation, the more major update was initially designated 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 (I forget). Often it's very minor stuff.įor the original 7D, Canon released a major firmware update after about 3 years of production. go to the support/download section of the Canon web page for the 7DII and you'll find details of what was "fixed" with the latest version of firmware. If the camera is working fine and doing all you need it to do, it's certainly not mandatory to update the firmware. Had the camera about two years and it works great as is and don't want to fix something that isn't broke. I wonder what the new firmware would do that I am unable to do now. What operating system are you using? If Windows, then you probably need to be logged in as an administrator.I have a Canon Eos 7D mark II and was reading that there are updates for the firmware. (it says i don't have permission).Īnd if i want to update the picture profiles with the utility (i have the latest version) the detail set button just won't appear. i just downloaded the 2.0.3 firmware version but it doesn't let me copy to the cf card. Thefifthcrouch edited this topic ages ago. Persistent blundering pays off at least for me. If you have a battery grip attached take it off for the firmware updateĪnd make sure you are in P mode for the firmware updateĭid not use the Canon Utility Tool but I did in fact get the 7d to update. But probably you won't even see the firmware update option if you were in full-auto mode. Av) before trying to update? AFAIK, the firmware update doesn't work in full-auto mode. Just a wild guess: did you put your camera in one of the manual modes (e.g.
Obiw Did you tried using the canon utility tool? I am a little illiterate when it comes to this stuff. I guess that is what mnhphotoed means by has to be in the root file. The firmware cannot be in a file or the camera won't find it. I'd try formatting the card in your camera and retry it, like has already been suggested. What is the exact name of the file you are copying to the CF card? I didn't format the CF, but don't think that will matter, but i will give it a try The root is not where you normaly see you photo file, that is one of the directories on the card. If it is not in the root you will get mesages like you have been getting. same problem.Īre you sure that you have copied the file to the root of the CF card.
I also tried updating with the canon utility tool. When I turn on my camera en select update firmware he eventually says "can't find new firmware" I downloaded the new 7D firmware (2.0) from the canon website.
