GEAR: 5DII, 7D(x2), 50D(x3), some other cameras, various lenses & accessories sometimes a dozen or more in a day's shoot. Like Tim mentions, I don't use the USB cable to download images from the camera to the computer, that's just too slow. (Note: another time I use the USB is when synching the clocks in multiple cameras, which I do fairly regularly as the clocks get out of sync suprisingly often. I just tell the camera to use it from the folder on the computer, via the USB. You then can either load (copy) the *.fir file onto the card, or just leave it on your computer and connect the camera to that with the USB cable. (Important note: any images on the memory card will be lost in this process, so make sure you have copied or moved all you want to keep to somewhere safe, such as a folder on your computer.)įirmware updates are one of the rare times I connect my cameras to the computer with the USB cableI usually don't bother loading the *.fir file onto the camera's memory card. Format the card in the camera, not in your computer.

There must be a freshly formated memory card in the camera, no matter which method you use. I would estimate it takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete a firmware update.Ģ. That can cause a failed update that 'bricks' the camera. you don't want the camera to run out of power in mid-process.

No matter which method you use when updating firmware, you should be sure your camera battery(ies) are fully charged.

All good answers, but I didn't see anything regarding the following info.ġ.
