Note:
Firmware Version 2.1.9.1.00 is only for EOS C300 cameras which have Firmware Version 2.1.2.1.00 - 2.1.8.1.00 with the Dual Pixel CMOS AF Feature Upgrade applied. If your camera's firmware is already version 2.1.9.1.00, 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.



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.

The downloaded firmware folder contains the firmware (File Name: VKL8.FIM, File Size: 35,066,960 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 (with the Dual Pixel CMOS AF Feature Upgrade applied) camera body
2. A computer (OS Requirements: Mac OS 10.7-10.13)
3. A 64 MB or higher-capacity SD / SDHC memory card (both commercially available)
4. An SD card reader (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)



History
Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.8.1.00 :
1. With the CN7x17 KAS S/E1*1, CN-E18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS, or CN20x50 IAS H/E1*1 attached, the following functions are available:
- Autofocus using Dual Pixel CMOS AF is possible (with the exception of CN20x50 IAS H/E1)
- Metadata, such as the model name and focal distance of the lens attached, can be acquired and displayed on the camera. *2
- Peripheral illumination correction is supported. *2
- Aperture can be adjusted manually by operating the camera's Control Dial. *2
- Settings can be made so that the zoom can be operated using the joystick on the grip unit of the camera.
- The zoom/focus*2/iris*2 can be operated using the separately-sold RC-V100 Remote Controller.
- The focus and iris can be operated via Wi-Fi Remote.*2
- The automatic aperture and Push Auto Iris functions can be used.
2. Support for the WFT-E8 has been added.
3. Support for peripheral illumination correction when the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM is attached has been added.
*1 The firmware of the lenses also need to be updated.
*2 For CN7x17 KAS S/E1, support has already been provided in Firmware Version 2.1.7.1.00 or later.


Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.7.1.00 :
1. Corrects the tone parameters when [Light Metering] is set to [Backlight] in [Camera Setup] and when specific custom picture settings* are selected.
* If any of the settings below is selected for custom picture settings:
- [Preset Custom Picture Files] is set to [C7:EOS Std.], [C8:Wide DR] or [C9:CINEMA].
- [Color Matrix] is set to [Normal 4], [Cine 1], [Cine 2], [EOS Std.], [Wide DR] or [Canon Log].


Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.6.1.00 :
1. Fixes a phenomenon in which, when specific lenses* are attached to EOS C300 (Dual Pixel CMOS AF) cameras running Firmware Version 2.1.3.1.00 or later, the image stabilization mechanism does not operate even when the lens' IS switch is in the ON position.
(*EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM / EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM)


Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.5.1.00 :
1. Fixes a phenomenon in which the EOS C300 with the Dual Pixel CMOS AF feature activated and running Firmware Version 2.1.4.1.00 won't display the following when set to continuous AF.
- WFM (waveform monitor)
- VS (vector scope); and
- Edge Mon. (edge monitor)


Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.4.1.00 :
1. Enables control of CINE-SERVO lenses using the RC-V100 remote controller.
2. Enables peripheral illumination correction for the following lenses:
- EF lenses:
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM
EF-S 10-18mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM
EF 11-24mm f/4L USM
EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM

3. When one of the following EF lenses is attached and power is turned off, the lens automatically retracts to its minimum length:
EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM
EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
4. Enables the user to change fan operating mode between On and Automatic.. When set to Automatic, the fan turns off during shooting at normal temperature. When the camera temperature rises, the fan starts automatically and lowers the temperature.


Changes in Firmware Version 2.1.3.1.00 :
1. Shortens the duration until it is possible to start recording when a high-capacity CF card exceeding 128GB is used.
2. Enhances the operability when setting the white balance through an improved user interface.
