I formatted the card using the camera, and realized that I do not have a memory card reader with Compact Flash slot. When we finally had the camera running the correct firmware version, we could continue with the step 2 from the original instructions.

Just do not forget to switch between Windows 7 and Windows 10 platforms, as well as different MacOS versions to find the EOS Utility.Īfter installing it and confirming that the ‘Camera settings/Remote shooting’ feature works, you can proceed to download the 2.0.3 firmware from here. The following link will help you find the above-mentioned packages.

Another catch after clicking the ‘Download’ button, one will be prompted to enter the camera’s serial number in order for the download to begin.

Luckily, one can download the “EOS Digital Solution Disk Software 29.1A for Windows” from Canon USA’s website after selecting the target platform being Windows 7 (圆4). I mean, obviously everyone saves every driver/utilities CD that comes with their devices… But I digress.

#CANON 7D FIRMWARE 2.0.6 FULL VERSION#

Canon does not provide the full version of EOS Utility as a stand-alone downloadable package from their website, rather provide only updater to the latest version of this software, stating in their documentation that one has to install the full version from CDs that came with the camera. However, to find the utility was quite a painful process. To confirm that this method will work, I chose to do the downgrade via the utility anyway. Even though the 7D does not require such, a good example was mentioned in this forum thread where one has to use an EOS Utility software (recommended version 2.x) to painlessly downgrade the firmware. Different cameras may require a use of some sort of a trick in case the firmware cannot be downgraded via copying the lower version firmware onto a storage media and running the firmware “update” from camera’s menu. After installation, please copy your ROM backup files ( ML/LOGS/ROM*.BIN on the card) to a safe place.Īs our camera was not running the supported firmware, we needed to downgrade it from version 2.0.5 to 2.0.3. A copy of the original (unmodified) ROM contents will be saved to the card.Magic Lantern will run from this card it won’t replace your original firmware.ģ. This procedure will enable the BOOTDISK flag in your camera’s Flash ROM, allowing it to load and execute custom code from the memory card.

Run the Firmware Update process from Canon menu.

Unzip the archive and copy ML files to the memory card.

Once you have the correct Canon firmware: Make sure you are running Canon firmware 2.0.3Ģ. The installation instructions written on the above-linked page seem quite simple:ġ. The Magic Lantern build for the 7D can be downloaded from here. We decided to use a Canon EOS 7D as the guinea pig as it is fully supported and this camera has not been used in our office for quite a while. The main features of Magic Lantern and supported cameras are listed on their homepage. It does not modify the cameras firmware rather it will enable the BOOTDISK flag in your camera’s Flash ROM, allowing it to load and execute custom code from the memory card. As mentioned above, Magic Lantern is a community developed, open-source add-on that runs from your media storage.

Now that we have that out of way, let me introduce you to Magic Lantern. Even though the previous blog post mentioned that the next couple of issues from me will be about build details of our office gadgets, in this issue, I would like to write about: Magic Lantern, a free software add-on that runs from the SD/CF card and adds a host of new features to Canon EOS cameras that weren’t included from the factory by Canonĭisclaimer: The author of this post, Magic Lantern and anybody from their community or development team, and most importantly Eyes, JAPAN is not responsible for damage of any kind to you, your camera or any other equipment you use if you decide to follow the steps in this article.
