Canon EOS 7D Digital Camera Firmware 2.0.0 Upgrade

9/3/2012

9 Comments

 
After an initial unsuccessful attempt to upload this new firmware to my 7D I have tried it again and succeeded. 
My two main reasons for wanting this upgrade was to have the ability to set a maximum ISO when I select automatic ISO.
The other item that had me intrigued was the increase in burst rate.  It of course varies in what you are shooting, JPEG vs RAW.  From a quick test I found I can now take 27 shots within 6 seconds before it stops shooting to process.  It seems excessive but in some cases, like an eagle swooping in to snag a duck it would be awful for the camera to stop shooting just as the catch is made.   


So, here is the link for the firmware:    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_7d#DriversAndSoftware

  1. From this web page select your Operating System and Operating Version from the drop downs.
  2. This will open more selections below these boxes where you will want to click on EOS 7D Firmware Version 2.0.0
  3. After clicking on the 'I Agree-Begin Download' to the usual Disclaimer the download begins to load to your computer.
  4. After the quick download you will have the folders open on your computer which will have a .PDF with instructions and a .FIR file.
  5. Don't try to open the .FIR (my first mistake when trying to do this upgrade).  Put a formatted Compact Flash card in your computer.  Then simply drag/copy this .FIR file to the card.  I used a 4gig.
  6. Wait for the file to be completely loaded onto the card.  With a full charged battery in your 7D put the card into the camera.
  7. From your Menu screen navigate to the last tool that looks like a wrench.  The last item on that screen is the current Firmware version. 
  8. Click on that and it will say 'Current Version is _ _ _ _ _ .  Update.  Click on the OK button.
  9. It will walk you through the next steps....sorry I didn't write them down but like any camera/computer it will hold your hand and walk you gently through the next 2 or 3 steps.  The last step the camera will tell you to not touch anything while it loads.  It will show you a percentage screen and it does not take too long.  
  10. VOILA, you will now be upgraded.  Scroll through your new options on the menu screens & have fun.  I am waiting for the next upgrade which will make it a full sensor.  LOL

Your "Digital Camera Upgrade" blog is very useful and provide tremendous facts. It is going to change the way one think by a sharp angle. Some compact digital cameras can take 3D still photos. I wonder if you write on gadgets also. Keep up the good work ahead.

I'm glad you enjoyed this post. I love my Canon 7D and this upgrade was just made it even better with the additional burst rate and being able to cap the automatic ISO. Really hoping the next upgrade makes it a full sensor, LOL.
