Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 is for EOS C300/EOS C300 PL cameras with Firmware Version 1.0.2.1.00 through 1.0.7.1.00. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.0.8.1.00, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Once the camera is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.

Accordingly, it is recommended that, prior to performing the update, you save your menu settings and Custom Picture settings to an SD card which is different from the one used for the firmware update. After the firmware update, load the saved settings data back to the camcorder. For details, please see the "Saving and Loading Camera Settings" section of the instruction manual for these models.
