EOS-1DS Mark II looking for firmware 1.1.6

[dpsaiz]

I just bought a pristine 1Ds MkII from an eBay seller out of NM. 

The camera's firmware is 1.1.1 and I'd really like to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.6 so that the camera will recognize larger capacity memory cards.

I've searched far and wide. Those searches led me to a few links for the firmware but those links are no longer active. If you can provide me with an active link where I can download firmware version 1.1.6 I would be most grateful.

"Additionally the firmware update will cause the write speed to be slower to the SD card."

Try a low level format of the SD card. I couldn't find the option in 1Ds II manual but you may have another Canon?

Hello Peter, 

Happy New Year! 

I have just got an EOS 1Ds mark 2, but found it has an older firmware version when trying to use a >2GB card.

Could you please help with f/w v1.1.6?

Thank you so much in advance!

Sure. You have PM.

Rekindling an old post, but on the off-chance that you're still active, and still in possession of v1.1.6, my 1Dsii and I would be very grateful if you could share it with us!

Thanks, 

Tim

Hi Peter! Just got a used 1Ds II and I too would like to update the firmware on it. Hope you can help me out!

Sure, just read the comment above.

It didn't occur to me to use the EOS R. I popped the SD card into my Windows 11 PC and did a LLF with Disk Management. There's no real way for me to test the write speed from the buffer to the SD card. As I mentioned before I don't shoot action photos. Mostly still life so write speed isn't an issue unless I was at a MotoGP event or something of that nature.
