Canon EOS R7 firmware update

• Improves display settings with the RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL lens and adds [3:2] and [1:1] to [Still img. aspect ratio].
• Fixes Err70 during Bluetooth communication caused by interference from other Bluetooth devices.
• Fixes Err70 when shooting repeatedly in "High-speed continuous shooting +".
• Improves other system stability. Canon updated the web manual too.

1. Download firmware 1.8.0 for the EOS R7 from Canon's page (button below) and unzip it. The folder also has Canon's own instructions (PDF).
2. Format (initialise) a memory card in the camera, then copy only the firmware file (EOSR7180.FIR) to the top level of the card, not inside a folder. Canon: unneeded or old firmware files on the card can make the update fail.
3. Before the update, remove the lens, any external Speedlite and all other accessories from the camera. Insert a fully charged battery and the card. If your camera has two card slots, insert only one card.
4. Turn the camera on, set the shooting mode to P, press MENU and choose [Firmware Ver.X.X.X] in the Set-up tab. Select [OK] and follow the screen to start the update.
5. Don't turn the camera off, open the card slot cover or press any buttons until the update has finished (on some models the "Update is complete" screen doesn't appear). Afterwards, format the card again before you use it.

Canon's own step-by-step instructions are the PDF inside the download: if they differ from these steps, follow Canon's PDF.
