Today, Canon has just released several firmware packages targeted at some of its professional cameras, namely version 1.0.5.1.00 for the EOS C500 and EOS C500 PL devices, as well as builds 1.0.4.1.00 and 2.0.4.1.00 compatible with the EOS C100 and EOS C100 DAF units, respectively.

For all above-mentioned cameras, their related update adds support for the producer’s new RC-V100 remote controller that is to be released this month (June 2014).

As for the other changes, except for the EOS C500 PL camera, all the other devices receive fixes for the problem with the EF Cinema lens' F number that wasn’t properly shown.

In addition to that, the same units also get a new peripheral illumination correction data option that can be used along with the [CN-E35mm T1.5 L F] EF Cinema lens, as well as with the [EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM] EF lens.

When it comes to the installation steps, first initialize a compatible memory card using the camera’s setup menu, get and extract the appropriate downloadable archive for your device, and copy the firmware file from within the created folder onto the newly prepared SD card.

Afterwards, connect the camera with the power adapter in order to benefit from a stable power source, insert the card into the device while it’s powered off, and turn on the EOS unit.

Now, go to Menu → Other Functions → Firmware, select “Ok” at the next confirmation screen to initiate the upgrade, and allow the camera to apply the new firmware (should take about 5 minutes to complete).

Upon completion, the device will automatically reboot and display the newly installed firmware version; all you need to do now is to set the date and time, turn off the camera, remove the SD card, and your EOS device is ready for use.
