EOS M50 firmware 1.1.0 availability

[hminus]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone on here can assist - I'm trying to find/download the latest firmware for my EOS M50, but can't find it. The download link in the firmware advisory (product support page) just takes me to the 'Software/Drivers' section (which consists of different apps - but no firmware). I was going to call support during business hours, but I'm hoping someone else has encountered this and could share some information.  

Firmware advisory: Canon Support | Firmware Notice: EOS M50: Firmware Version 1.1.0

Firmware download link: Download Firmware Version 1.1.0 for the EOS M50. 

TIA!

Hi and welcome to the forum:
Try these links, as appropriate:

If this resolves your issue, please mark as a solution so you won't get on-going message about it.

Greetings,

Firmware is operating system agnostic.  You can use any download as the file itself is the same for the camera.

FW v1.1.0 - The M50 requires 2 files be put in the root of your SD card:

CF19.DAT <<< copy this file to the card first

CCF19110.FIR   <<< copy this file to the card second

You can grab the firmware here:

The download also includes instructions.  Let us know if you have any questions 😃

Hello, and welcome to the Forum!

The second link you posted (Download Firmware Version 1.1.0 for the EOS M50) is the correct link. However, if your OS is a Mac flavor, there isn't a download available. Canon thinks you need a "Disc image" or *.DMG file. In reality, in this case, you just need the ZIP that contains the *.FIR (firmware) file and the PDF install instructions. There may not be one for Windows 11 either, but I didn't look.

Go to your link, scroll down a bit, select Windows 10 as your OS. Then confine the list to "Firmware".

You will see the file you need at the top (I just checked). If you are using a Mac, it will open the ZIP just like Windows.

Spot on! Apparently the flavor of the OS mattered. 

Thanks all!
