EOS R5 Firmware Availability for macOS v14 Sonoma

crfralick — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 20:16:34 GMT

On the Canon US website, if I select firmware and then OS 14 (Sonoma), nothing shows up for firmware. If I select OS 13 or earlier 1.9 shows up. When I download the firmware, the dmg file shows up, but will not open.

I saw one mention of this in the forum, but no resolution. Anyone else have this issue and a solution? Yes, I have external disk enabled. I've downloaded firmware many times. First time this issue has occurred.

Help?

Greetings ,

Firmware is operating system agnostic. The .dmg file is the same regardless of the version of Mac OS you have. The absence of the file under the Sonoma download is just an oversight. It's the same file as what is available under Ventura. If the DMG file does not open under Sonoma, open Finder properties and check the hard disks checkbox. The next time you click the .dmg file it should open on your desktop.

Copy the .FIR file to the root of your SD card and perform the update. I suggest you remove your CF Express B card from the camera temporarily while you perform the update.

Yes, it's not the the external disk setting. First thing I checked. I'll just use the Windows FIR file and try it that way. Thanks.

That one will work as well. It comes in a ,zip format. 🙂
