There are two different ways in which to install the updates onto your EOS camera – using a memory card and via EOS Utility. Your camera comes installed usually with version 1.0.0 if you bought it near to its initial release, but if you bought it a few years after launch, then you’ll usually have a later version installed, depending on how long the camera has been sat on the stock shelves.Ĭamera updates are designed so that they can be installed by the user.

Despite rigorous testing, there can be flaws.įrom time to time Canon provides firmware updates for different cameras to correct any flaws that it discovers or, more commonly, are reported. It is complex and not always perfect when developed and installed by Canon during production. Think of it as your camera's operating system, just like what’s installed on your smartphone or computer. It has been hosted in OnWorks in order to be run online in an easiest way from one of our free Operative Systems.Firmware is an interface between the camera features and the camera hardware. This is an application that can also be fetched from.

The Canon Digital Camera SDKs is freely available on this official link. I uses an official Canon SDK (Canon ED-SDK) to retrieve and set all camera information (shutter count is retrieved via an undocumented function). But it does not support this features: Editing the owner/artist/copyright and synchronizing date/time within the local PC's date/time.įor that, I wrote a new utility that includes all these features by integrating those that were missing. They provide some details about the camera, including product Name, firmware version, battery level, shutter Counter, date/time, and owner/artist/copyright strings. However, there are a few free tools that may help you to do this. There’s no official Canon based application to find the shutter count for an EOS DSLR. Canon doesn’t have shutter count included on the EXIF information of an image file, as opposed to Nikon and Pentax.
