Firmware updates are inclusive. "Up to" means 1.02 or lower.
Hi there, and welcome to the Canon Community!
If you're ever confused and would rather speak with technical support one-on-one, call our team here in the USA at 800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666). You may find it beneficial to register your camera before calling. You can do that at canon.us/account.
I'm not a tech, but I wanted to take the time to walk you through the process because it can be a bit much.
You can't install firmware using a mobile device (phone or tablet), so you will not see it unless you're on a computer.
From a laptop or desktop, navigate to https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-rebel-t7i.
- On that page, tap "DOWNLOADS" in the top black bar (just above the photo of the T7i).
- Expand the "Software & Drivers" section by tapping it.
- The site will have detected your computer's Operating System. However, the firmware came out in 2020, before Windows 11 & the most current versions of macOS. That means you must change it manually to "macOS Catalina v10.15" if you're on macOS or "Windows 10" if you use Windows.
- Just below the Operating System drop-down is another drop-down that says "Download Type." Change that to "Firmware"
- You will then see, at a minimum, the most current firmware file:
- Tap the box above the gray download box, and it will activate and change to red, allowing you to download the file.
I've attached a PDF with the official update instructions once you have the file.
I sincerely hope this helps, but please, if you get stuck or need someone to walk you through this, give our team a call! They're available 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM - 7:00PM on Saturday.
