FAQ: EOS 7D Latest Firmware Update [Version 2.0.3 - Added 12 September 2012]

Details:


Firmware version 2.0.3 incorporates the following fixes.

1. Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera stops working when the auto power off setting takes effect.

2. Fixes a phenomenon in which the maximum number of images that can be captured in a burst may be less than the actual number displayed in the viewfinder.

3. Corrects some errors in the message displayed on the LCD screen when saving RAW images developed in the camera (these errors do not appear in the Japanese and Korean language displays).

The fixes listed above are corrections for the phenomena experienced with firmware version 2.0.0. These phenomena will not occur in firmware version 1.2.5 or before.

Updating the camera’s firmware to version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3 from version 1.2.5 or before, will incorporate many new functions into the camera. For the details of these new functions, please see the “Version 2.0.0 improvements” in the history of past firmware updates.

Helpful Information:

Firmware version 2.0.3  is being released for cameras with firmware up to version 2.0.0. If the camera's firmware is already version 2.0.3, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Once the camera is updated to version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3, it cannot be restored to a previous firmware version (version 1.0.7 to 1.2.5).

If the camera is updated from the previous firmware version (version 1.0.7 to 1.2.5) with firmware version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3, the following settings will be initialized.

  •  Date/Time setting.

  •  Lens peripheral illumination correction data registered to the camera.

When using an EOS 7D camera updated to the new firmware version 2.0.X with the WFT-E5 B, the WFT-E5 B needs to be updated to the latest firmware up to version 1.0.7; otherwise it cannot be used.

Some applications of previous versions do not support functions that are added by the new firmware. Please also note that EOS Utility needs to be updated to the latest version before it can be used with the updated EOS 7D camera. It is recommended that you use the updated EOS 7D camera (version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3) with the latest applications, these can be downloaded from our website, please see list below.
