topic R7 firmware 1.3.0 won't upgrade in EOS DSLR & Mirrorless Cameras https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R7-firmware-1-3-0-won-t-upgrade/m-p/415295#M99045 <P>I have previously upgraded the firmware on my R7 without any problem (currently version 1.2.0). I am now trying to upgrade to v 1.3.0 from the SD card. I'm following the recommended procedure i.e. a freshly formatted card, .FIR file in the root directly, mode set to P, etc). But when I initiate the upgrade, it stops at the last step with the OK button greyed out. In fact (and this scared me), the camera freezes, and I had to remove the battery to regain control. Since I'm afraid to brick the device, I thought I should ask whether anyone else had experienced similar difficulties?</P> Wed, 19 Apr 2023 01:27:58 GMT ASharma 2023-04-19T01:27:58Z R7 firmware 1.3.0 won't upgrade https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R7-firmware-1-3-0-won-t-upgrade/m-p/415295#M99045 <P>I have previously upgraded the firmware on my R7 without any problem (currently version 1.2.0).

Not sure why, though <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 19 Apr 2023 02:01:11 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R7-firmware-1-3-0-won-t-upgrade/m-p/415297#M99046 ASharma 2023-04-19T02:01:11Z
