   Firmware Version 1.1.3 incorporates the following fix:

   1. Corrects a PTP communications vulnerability.
   2. Corrects a vulnerability related to firmware update. Firmware Version 1.1.3 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.1.2. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.1.3, it is not necessary to update the firmware. When updating the firmware of the camera, please review the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware. Q&A: Preparations for a firmware update: After the downloaded compressed file (.dmg file) is extracted, a firmware folder is created.

   • Extracting the downloaded file: The downloaded folder is automatically extracted, and a firmware folder is created. If the download folder cannot be automatically extracted, double-click the folder. The extracted folder contains the firmware (File name: 7D200113. FIR, File size: 31,486,272 bytes) and instructions ​on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese). Before starting the firmware update operations, please confirm the contents of the download, and carefully read through the firmware update procedures. (The following is the history of past firmware updates) Changes in Version 1.1.2: Corrects the phenomenon in which remote shooting with the Camera Connect App is not possible after connecting the EOS 7D Mark II to a smartphone via the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1.
   • This phenomenon only occurs when the firmware was updated from Version 1.0.5 or earlier to Version 1.1.1.
   • There is no need to update the firmware if the firmware was updated from Version 1.1.0 to Version 1.1.1, or if the EOS 7D Mark II was equipped with Firmware Version 1.1.1 at the time of purchase. Changes in Version 1.1.1:

   1. Enhances reliability of communications when transferring images using Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E7 (A/B/C/D/E).
   2. Corrects the phenomenon of Err70 which occurs with certain combinations of settings.
   3. Corrects the phenomenon in which in very rare cases the shutter can no longer be released.
   4. Enhances reliability of operations for specific custom function settings. Changes in Version 1.1.0:
   5. Support for Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 has been added.
   6. An option has been added which allows select STM lenses*1 to be retracted or remain extended when the power to the camera has been turned off. *1 EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, or EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lenses Changes in Version 1.0.5:
   7. Impr​oves AF accuracy when used in combination with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM lens or EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens.
   8. Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, the "Peripheral illumination correction" is applied inconsistently.
   9. Fixes a phenomenon, in which, while performing an EF lens firmware update, the progress bar displayed on the LCD monitor may freeze at 100% even though the update has been completed.
   10. Fixes a processing error in relation to the leap second for the "Geotag information appended to image" and "Log data" GPS functions.
   11. Fixes a phenomenon, where at the time of shooting in very rare cases "Err 70" occurs, or the shutter does not release. Please note: After updating the firmware, you should reconfirm any AF Microadjustments you may have set for your EF 16-35mm f/2.8 USM or EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. Changes in Version 1.0.4:

   13. Fixes a phenomenon in the AI servo AF whereby, in rare cases, a reduction in the flicker effect cannot be obtained when Flicker Reduction is set to "On".
   14. Fixes a phenomenon whereby the Picture Style settings are not reflected properly in custom shooting mode (C1/C2/C3).
   15. Fixes a phenomenon whereby, in very rare cases, the shooting date/time in the shooting information of the first picture is not recorded correctly.
