Looking for a EOS 600D firmware with a few Languages shipped

simba11 — Sun, 20 Aug 2023 15:12:07 GMT

Hello, I have a EOS 600D camera and it has 25 languages shipped with.
But I don't need all those languages, but English.
So, I am looking for a firmware with a few languages shipped. (e.g. English and Japanese, or English only, etc.)
Is it possible to get it? Where can I get it from?

Thanks.

For what reason? Just set to English.

Maybe the Canon Japan support site has the firmware for the JDM, bujt even if they did there is no guarantee it would brick your camera.

As Ricky asked - Why? It doesn't take up usable memory, doesn't increase camera weight or slow down its speed. It's transparent to you once you select the language of choice.

Strange questions these days. The other almost identical langauge thread and the 72 DPI thread.

The language restriction is an on/off feature already in the camera, but you can't access it from the camera. Actually it is -1 for international menu and 0 for limited menu.

With older camera models like D30/D60 there are two firmware versions. English and Japanese. I haven't tried installing the Japanese one so I haven't checked that it really works like that.
