Just a reminder that any update of a device is best done with fully charged batteries. Nothing worse than having a problem caused by low voltage or wondering about it after the fact. Voltage does drop off as batteries are discharged and "some unknowns are more unknowable than other unknowns" (Donald Rumsfeld, misquoted slightly).

Attention! This version of firmware update will erase entire firmware on all 10D bodies made for US. The only way to get the camera working again is to make American fishing boats to stop catching tuna on it's way migrating to Japan coast. Only after that the cameras can be sent to Japan for repair.

Won't load it until I hear...

Dead battery during firmware upgrade = half installed firmware = dead camera = sending in your camera is the only fix. I have heard of this in the past D60's FW upgrade.

I've dl'd the EXE, now what? I assume you'd copy it to a CF card. Does it then auto-install once in the 10D?

I was able to download it and opened it but nothing seemed to happen. I expected to see a screen with instructions. Nothing. Is this normal? Suggestions?

There is no description on what it does ...

Ira Blumberg · Jun 25, 2003

Based on 1 picture so far, it appears to have altered the metering a bit. I took a shot of a high contrast scene (brightly lit white house with darker trees and ground in front of it) and found no blown highlights with 0 exposure compensation in P mode. In fact, there were no point above about 240 on the histogram.

I'm sure we will get a better idea tomorrow.

It will unpack a new directory called "EOS10DFirmware101E".

That directory contains convenient english language directions for loading the firmware.

It's a self-extracting ZIP file. It extracts the files to a new directory called EOS10DFirmware101E in the directory where you ran it from. Read Readme.txt for instructions.

If it is the same way that has always been done on past Canon cams, then yes. Just copy the file to a formatted card using card reader and then insert into camera -- plug and play.

You need to extract (execute) the file on your computer. There is a readme that you follow after you extract the file.

Here is what it says.....

Precautions

Use the fully charged Battery Pack BP-511/BP-512 or the dedicated

AC Adapter kit (Additional) ACK-E2 for firmware update.

Do not shut off the power during the firmware writing operation.

A power failure during the firmware writing operation may disable the camera.

Do not open the CF card slot cover or press any camera buttons during the firmware

writing operation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

EOS 10D firmware update procedures

(1) Copy the "10DV101.fir" file to the formatted CF card.

If you do not have any of the card reading devices,

1. Insert the CF card into the EOS 10D, and connect it to the PC
with Interface Cable IFC-200PCU.
2. Double-click the "UploadFirmware" in the decompressed folder,
and follow the instructions so that the "10DV101.fir" file
can be copied onto the CF card in the EOS 10D.

When you attempt to transfer the data to the CF card in the EOS 10D with
the "UploadFirmware", do not open the CF card slot cover, turn the Main Switch
or turn the power off until the data transfer is completed. Any of the above
operations during data transfer will disable the firmware update.

(2) Insert he CF card with the firmware into the camera and turn the Main Switch on.

The following message will appear on the LCD after the
firmware update program activates.

When using the "UploadFirmware" utility, please be sure that data transfer
is completed and open the CF card slot cover. The firmware update program
also starts as soon as closing the CF card lot cover and the same message
will appear on the LCD.

Execute Upgrade
[10DV101.fir]
[OK] [Cancel]

(3) Select [OK] with Quick Control dial of the camera and press the "SET" button.

If you select [Cancel] and press the "SET" button, the firmware update
is cancelled.
If the message of "Execute Upgrade" does not appear, please return to
Procedure (1) as the firmware is not copied correctly.

To start checking the installed firmware.

A message of [Checking Firmware] appears and the firmware currently
installed is being checked. This step will take approximately 6 seconds.
An indicator (%) and a progress bar will appear during this step.
Do not press the shutter button during this step. Checking firmware will
be cancelled by pressing the shutter button.

After checking the current firmware, both the current and the replaced
versions will be displayed on the LCD as follows.

Replace Firmware
From [ 1.00 ]
To [ 1.01 ]
[OK] [Cancel]

(4) Execute the firmware update after confirming the version to be installed,
by selecting [OK] with Quick Control dial and press the "SET" button.

If you select [Cancel] and press the "SET" button, the firmware update
is cancelled.

The following message will appear during firmware updating.

Re-writing Firmware
xx% Completed

The update will take approximately 2 minutes.

Do not turn the power off during the firmware writing operation.
Do not open the CF card slot cover or press any camera button during
the firmware writing operation.

When the update is completed, the following message will appear on the LCD.

Firmware Replaced
Successfully
[OK]

(5) Complete the firmware update by pressing the "SET" button.

The firmware update is now completed. Format the CF card before it can be used.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verifying the firmware update

If firmware version is "1.0.1", updating is completed properly. To confirm the firmware version,

turn the Main Switch ON, and press the MENU button to display the menu. Turn the Quick

Control Dial, and you see "Firmware Ver. 1.0.x" at the end of the settings shown in yellow,

which is the currently installed firmware version number. For more details, please refer
to the instruction manual on pages 32, 33 and 144.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the ERROR message appears during the firmware update

In case the following message appears during the firmware update,
please press the "SET" button and return to the beginning of the procedure.
If you still have a problem, please contact Canon Service Center in your region.

Replace Firmware
=== ERROR ! ===
Retry Upgrade
[OK]

You have to run the exe and unpack it first, then copy all files to card.

How do you know it works fine without knowing what fixes the firmware is meant to be addressing?
