EOS R5 Memory card with firmware is required to update - Dec 2022

[Terrij]

I'm trying to update my Canon R5 to the latest version - V1.7.  I have formatted the card, copied the update to the card at the DCIM level.  When I insert into the camera and go to the next step - update camera firmware I get this message:

Memory card with firmware is required to update

I have tried different cards with no luck.  Any suggestions?

Good morning ,

Good work. We will be eager to hear how the camera performs with the new firmware.

Thank you, Rick!! I had the same question today Jan 6, 2025 as Terrij did from 2022, while doing a firmware update on my R5 on a year old Mac. All worked out!
