Canon 7D Firmware 2.0: What's New and How to Update

The latest firmware update for the Canon EOS 7D, version 2.0, has been released, bringing new features and improvements to the camera. In this article, we'll explore what's new in firmware 2.0 and provide a step-by-step guide on how to update your camera.

Firstly, it is recommended that you use the updated EoS 7D camera (version 2.0.0 or later) with the latest applications, which can be downloaded from Canon's website. Additionally, please note that EOS Utility needs to be updated to the latest version before it can be used with the updated EOS 7D camera.

One of the key features in firmware 2.0 is the ability to use the WFT-E5B wireless file transmitter with the EOS 7D. However, when using an EOS 7D camera updated to this new firmware version 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.

Another important note is that some applications of previous versions do not support functions that are added by the new firmware. For example, lens peripheral illumination correction data registered to the camera will not work with older software.

It's also worth noting that once the camera is updated to version 2.0.0 or later, it cannot be restored to a previous firmware version (version 1.0.7 to 1.2.5). If your camera's firmware is already at version 2.0.3, there is no need to update the firmware.

The new firmware version 2.0.6 also brings some bug fixes and corrections for phenomena experienced with previous firmware versions. These include improvements to the camera's autofocus system and overall performance.

In conclusion, firmware 2.0 for the Canon EOS 7D brings a range of new features and improvements that enhance the camera's functionality. By following these simple steps, you can update your camera and take advantage of the latest technology.
