I'm using a card reader on my Windows 11 machine to install this current update. The screen showing update firmware? 1.7.1 --> 1.8.0 The OK box is grayed out.

The file name is EOSR7180.FIR (72,819,808 bytes)

Greetings,

Use the quick control dial to move focus from cancel to ok then press the set button. Don't operate the camera or press any buttons until the firmware update is complete.

It worked! This hasn't been a problem with my other Canon cameras, where the OK was not grayed out and I could use the joy stick.

Thanks!
