    *2 For CN7x17 KAS S/E1, support has already been provided in Firmware Version 1.1.7.1.00 or later.


    Note:
    Firmware Version 1.1.8.1.00 is only for EOS C300 cameras which have Firmware Version 1.0.4.1.00 - 1.1.7.1.00 without the Dual Pixel CMOS AF Feature Upgrade. If your camera's firmware is already version 1.1.8.1.00, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Once the camera is updated to the latest firmware version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.

    If the EOS C300 camera has had the Dual Pixel CMOS AF Feature Upgrade applied, please download Firmware Version 2.1.8.1.00.


    Preparations for a firmware update:
    After the Firmware update has been performed, the camera's menu settings and custom picture settings will be reset. It is recommended that users save their menu and custom picture settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the one that will be used to carry out the update, before starting update operations. This saved data can be loaded into the camera and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed. For further information on this, please refer to the section in the camera's user manual titled Saving and Loading Camera Settings.
    Once you load the setting data to the camera with the new firmware, you cannot write the data back to the camera with a previous version firmware.

    The downloaded firmware folder contains the firmware (File Name: VIA1.FIM, File Size: 35,066,788 bytes) and a procedure manual for updating the firmware (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese). Please check the firmware update procedure manual carefully before starting update operations.


    The following items are required to perform this firmware update:
    1. A Cinema EOS C300 or EOS C300 PL camera body
    2. A computer (OS: Windows)
    OS Requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1
    3. A 64 MB or higher-capacity SD/SDHC memory card (both commercially available)
    4. An SD card reader/writer (commercially available) or an SD card slot built into the computer
    5. A fully charged battery pack for the camera
    6. Compact power adapter bundled with the camera
    7. The firmware (the downloaded file)

    Changes in Firmware Version 1.1.0.1.00:
    *EOS C300 Cinema EOS Camera & EOS C300 PL Cinema EOS Camera
    1. Ability to move the magnification viewing area around the LCD using the MAGN Function.

    Changes in Firmware Version 1.0.9.1.00:
    1. Remote control of the WFT-E6 and Wi-Fi peripherals on an ad-hoc connection using iOS6/Safari has been made possible.
    2. The polarity of the XLR terminal has been modified to improve compatibility with external audio devices. The pin configuration has been modified to be consistent with the description in the Instruction Manual. Before the Firmware update, the pin configuration for the XLR jack was (pin1: shield, pin2: cold, pin3: hot). After the Firmware update, the pin configuration for the XLR jack will be (pin1: shield, pin2: hot, pin3: cold). The XLR pin configuration meets the international AES standard recommendation. The firmware update will avoid the scenario where use of the unit in combination with a device of different polarity than the XLR terminals would result in reduced sound levels due to a reversal of the phase relationship.
