How to update your Canon camera firmware:
Check your current firmware version in the camera menu (usually under “Firmware Version”). Visit Canon India’s official download centre and download the correct firmware for your exact model. Copy the file to a freshly formatted SD card (root directory). Insert the SD card into your camera and follow the on-screen update instructions. Do not turn off the camera or remove the battery during the update.
Useful resources to download (from Canon India official site):
- Firmware files for all Canon camera models
- Canon Camera Connect App (iOS / Android) – transfer photos wirelessly
- EOS Utility – tethered shooting and remote control
