I've read that you can downgrade the firmware to v2.0.3 to get it to work. They say once you update firmware it cant be reversed. I guess I'll have to wait until the Magic Lantern team tweak the hack so it's compatible with v2.0.5. Pancho, I actually bought the 7D with 2.0.3. So I realized Magic Lantern won't work on 2.0.5.

then I DOWNgraded to 2.0.3 just like upgrading. fir file on the SD and start the upgrade. click yes, wait 5 minutes or so and you're done :) you will be prompted to switch from 2.0.5 to 2.0.3. So, it's possible to downgrade from 2.0.5 to 2.0.3 in order to use Magic Lantern. (I was waiting for 2.0.5 compatibility but it seems to me that it won't be here for a long time) What do I miss by not upgrading to 2.0.5? I'm still on v 2.0.3 and I don't use Magic Lantern (I don't believe in magic. No idea but I upgraded and am happy with it :)įirmware Version 2.0.5 incorporates the following fix:įixes a phenomenon in which the image files cannot be transferred using the FTP protocol via USB cable after the EOS 7D camera has established a wireless connection to the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E5 (A/B/C/D). *: In compliance with the law regarding electro-magnetic waves in each region, there are four types of WFT-E5 (Types A, B, C, and D) for each of the respective target regions. Some camera settings are reset when you have updated to v 2.0.5. See here for more info:Ĭanon 7D Firmware 2.0.3 for mac and windows is available for download here:ĭ/progDownload/Canon-EOS-7D-Camera-Fi.Īfter download to my mac, the downloaded folder is (incorrectly) labeled 'eos7d-v203-win'.

Within the folder you will find the Canon firmware. I'm ready for Magic Lantern for 7D 2.0.3. If Canon is still upgrading 7D, there may not be a new 7D2 coming soon?ĭoes ML do anything for people who don,t use video.? I'm always 'chicken' about something happens when there is no urgent need to upgrade. Just installed 2.0.5 & all seems well,happy bunny.
