I am trying to update the firmware on my 7DII from 1.0.4 to 1.1.3.
As in the instructions, I have a fresh battery in the camera, the camera is off when I insert the SD card (with .FIR file on it) and it is set to 'P' mode (also tried 'M' mode).
I go to the Spanner, menu 5 and highlight 'Firmware ver 1.0.4' and press 'OK' twice.
'Current firmware is 1.0.4. Update Firmware - press 'OK'
It then comes up with 'Firmware Update Program' screen and the message 'Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again'.
I have tried 2 different 32GB cards and an 8GB card and all give the same error.
I have formatted all cards before copying the '.FIR' file to them.
This is driving me nuts - any suggestions on what to do? I can find nothing about this on the interweb.
The reason I started all this was to check the continuous shooting rate because it does not seem to be hitting the 10fps rate it should be getting, but the continuous shooting menu item is not there for some reason. The camera works fine, but I just want to check it.
