Product Advisories

Thank you for using Canon products.

Phenomena
The fixes listed 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.

Affected Product
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 displayed in the viewfinder may be less than what can actually be captured.
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 version 2.0.3 firmware being released this time is 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 version 1.2.5).
• If the camera is updated the previous firmware version (version 1.0.7 to version 1.2.5) with Firmware version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3, the following settings will be initialized.

1. Date/Time setting
2. 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-E5A/B/C/D, the WFT-E5A/B/C/D needs to be updated to the latest firmware up to version 1.0.7; otherwise, it cannot be used.
• It is recommended that you use the updated EOS 7D camera (version 2.0.0 / 2.0.3) with the latest applications*a). 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.

1. EOS Utility Version 2.11.4 or later

• The instruction manual has been revised accompanying the improvements and additions of functions. Users are asked to download both the latest firmware and the instruction manual. You can download the latest instruction manual from our web site.
