This is the best "Update Firmware tutorial" video I ever watched. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback appreciate it. Have fun with your updated camera.
Great video. It worked flawlessly. I loved the pauses that you built in. Great idea!
Awesome, thank you! Glad those pauses worked out for viewers.
Incredibly helpful video for my first time ever updating the firmware on my camera! Thank you for the easy-to-follow instructions and the pauses between sections. 😊
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Great video, very helpful. I have never updated firmware in any of my cameras and this was needed and so helpful. Took me first try, it didn't say on the lens, since I have an adaptor, but I just clicked on current version on the camera and it took me through the menu process of asking if I wanted to update. Great video, very straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you.
I really appreciate the comment. I'm glad the video was helpful for you. Welcome to the channel. More R7 content coming soon.
Thank you for the easy-to-follow instructions. The pause was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment.
Very well done, straight and to the point.
Thanks glad you found the video helpful. I get so annoyed with those videos that have so much filler in them too.
Novice photographer here and I followed your instructions and was able to update my R7 easily. Thank you for making this video!
You're welcome glad the video was helpful for you. Happy holidays and enjoy shooting with your updated R7. It's a fantastic little camera.
Outstanding job of explaining how to install the update! The "stopping" along the way was very helpful to me. Many Thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you for leaving a comment. Really appreciate it. Welcome to the channel.
Thanks you so clear !!
You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful for you.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome.
I just bought the R7 and I found it easier to update via the Canon Camera Connect app on my phone. It just downloads the firmware, connect to the camera via WiFi and once done, everything else took place on the camera. Up and running in about 10 minutes
Awesome that good to know. That does sound like it's a lot easier. What happens to the firmware once it's uploaded to the camera? Does the app delete it off your phone or does it sit there and take up space on your phone?
Thank you so much! Soo much easier.
Thanks a bunch!!
You're welcome!
Many thanks.
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment.
thank you bro
You're welcome!
Thank you so much
You're welcome.
Thanks!
You bet! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks hugely for this as you have a couple of things that Canon doesn't mention like putting the .fir file in the root of the memory card.
Glad it helped Thanks for the comment. really appreciated.
Dank je wel :-)
You're welcome.
Thank you for making this a simple process! I can never remember how to do it. Curious about switching to P mode. I noticed that your camera indicated it was in Manual mode when you did the update. Does it need to be in P for the update?
Glad it was helpful! When I got my R5 we had to put the camera in P mode but that was back in 2020. I don't think it needs to be in P mode anymore but I just say it in my videos just in case.
thx
You're welcome.
What are the fixes / functionality updates included in version 1.2.0? Also post update how is the auto focus system performing? Any issues? Please do let us know.
Not sure off the top of my head you'll have to check the Canon webpage linked in the description. This video is just a tutorial on how to update the firmware.
Amazing. please upload more cannon R7 program.. Thank you from Korea
Will do I have a few more videos planned. Thanks for the comment.
Good tutorial, quite helpful for those who've not done it before. I'm all up to date on my EOS R. 😎 I have V. 1.8 and I see the R7 has V. 1.2, I wonder what the differences are?
Hey thanks for comment. If I were to guess I would say the main difference would be the autofocus ability and IBIS. The R7 has slightly different tech. I'm working on a video comparing both cameras. Stay tuned. . .
Not every Canon camera has the same firmware so they all have different updates. Also be aware that if you go to the Caono site to download the update to your computer what you see for an update depends on what the website see is your computer operating system. You may have to fool the Canon site into thinking you have a different computer OS.
I just loaded the Canon Camera Connect App on my iPhone and it told me theres a new firmware and asked me if i wanted to download and install and I did it no problem. 1.1.0 to 1.2.0
Oh wow I didn't even know that was possible. You can update the camera through the app. Thanks for letting me know I'm going to go look into that. Thanks for the comment.
I have the basic firmware version. There have been a number of releases since. Do I need to install each one or can I just install the latest version
If you install the newest firmware it will have all the previous firmwares in it.
Fantastic video. Simple and shot. If it just would work on my R7. Any idea why my R7 freezes completley before the update starts? When the update is loaded from the SD-card the OK button stays gray and the whole camera freezes. I have tried different cards and even downloaded a fresh file from Canon. But it's always the same. Camera freezes when it starts to load the update and the only way to reactivate it is to remove the battery. I already mailed to the Canon support, but they don't care anything about my problem.
By the way, Canon's instruction PDF tells not only to switch to P but also to remove the lens before updating the camera.
That's really strange. The only thing I can think of is maybe your battery has low power and the camera wont do the update because of that. You can also update the firmware through bluetooth via the phone app. That might work for you.
@@vaskoobscura_ Battery was charged to 99%. Thanks for the hint with the app. I will try that next.
I believe you can also use the Canon utility software that comes with the camera as well. I've never updated that way but I'm sure there is a tutorial out there. Good luck.
I'm having the exact same experience as Andreas.
@@joannpowell2412 Bad for you... But thank you for letting me know. Meanwhile I got a message from Canon. It didn't contain a solution. They just told me that they need to contact someone in the tech department. I will write here when I get a solution from Canon or find another way to fix this.
My R7 firmware currently is 1.0.1. There is a 1.1.0 available plus the 1.2.0. Do I have to install 1.1.0 first, then 1.2.0?
HI thanks for the comment. You only need to install the newest firmware. All the previous updates are included in the newest firmware.
@@vaskoobscura_ Thank you. Much appreciated.
The R7 is my first camera. The update of firmware went fine. Should all my lens have firmwares? I am using EF lens with adaptor.
Glad to hear that the video worked out for you. In regards to your question about lens firmware you'll have to check the Canon webpage to see if there are updates for your lenses.
Has anyone noticed any focus issue problems after this latest firmware update. Before I put it on my camera it was producing razor sharp images and the focus locked onto subjects instantly. I use RF lenses and have used all three for bird photography and now getting many photos that are soft and finding the camera is having difficulties locking onto subjects and Animal eye detection has also been lost. I have contacted the seller and explained the situation but all they could say was do the latest firmware upgrade but it was when I did this the problems started. Now wish I had never done the firmware update and have used Canon Cameras for 15 years and this is my worst experience with any model I have owned
I did the update as soon as I got the camera so I never experienced what the camera was like before I updated the firmware. But that being said I have not experienced any issues with focus so far. It works as expected. But if there is an issue I'm sure Canon will come out with an update to fix it. Something similar has happened on other cameras in the past and Canon fixed it.
The solution could be to reset all camera settings after upgrading to firmware 1.2.0

@@Sigurd_9230 Thanks I have seen the video and it followed the instructions and it appears to resolve it
@@vaskoobscura_ The focus issue is pretty well documented but the question remains whether Canon will admit the problem and make it possible to install a future firmware without having to reset all the options. Most of us that have had the camera a while have changed quite a few of th defaults. This is a place where I like to be a little slow to move to new firmware until reports are in on how it went for others. This is especially the case when you look at the change list for the new firmware and see nothing of interest to how you use the camera. I hope your incomplete video does not cause people problems unless they read the dm51964 question and Jo Sigurd Bergseth answer down here in the comments. For most firmware updates, your video was great but, in this R7 case, not so much.
Too much people are saying updating the firmware is making the camera to work worse than the begining. Im 1 year with my r7 version 1.0 and im still refusing to update. Dont see any need to update, the camera work well.
If you're happy with the performance of the camera than that's all that matter. It's not worth upgrading if you don't need it. :) Appreciate the comment.
Thanks
I didn't get anything out of your explanation
I applied every step mentioned in the video, and the card was not activated
A scam video, and I do not advise anyone to apply these instructions👎😏
Thank you for the comment. However, blaming others for your own incompetence doesn't solve anything. If you're stuck and cant figure it out try asking for help.
Do you have to do it via sd card? all my pictures are on there. I'd have to buy another. Is there no way to do it via USB connected to your computer?
You can do it via the Canon utility app and a USB cable and i believe you can also do it via the Canon phone app via Bluetooth. Or you can buy a 2 gig memory card on eBay for a few bucks.
