I recently bought a 7d mark ii camera. The firmware was factory set at 1.0.4. The most recent update for this camera is 1.1.3 dated from 11/21/20. I am not experienced at updating firmware on cameras so l would like to know if these updates are important on this particular camera . If not l would prefer not to do it . I am nervous that something will go wrong in the update and screw my camera up. Also, l would presume that only the 1.1.3 update would be used and l would not have to install all updates going back to 1.0.4. ?? Also, if the update is necessary is it safer to do it on a sd card or use the canon utility tool on my computer ? Thank you for your help.

I have a ScanDisk Ultra 6 SDHC 16 GB card. Is this card a good choice to use ?

Format it and don't put any other files on it except the FW update. Otherwise follow Canon's instructions.
