Firmware Download

You can download the latest R10 firmware from Canon’s Support Sites:

  • US
  • Europe

Make sure that you download the correct firmware for your computer (Windows or Mac).

How to Update the Canon R10 Firmware

Updating the firmware for the Canon R10 is pretty straight forward.

When you download and unzip the firmware it will include a PDF guide on how to install the firmware.

There are two methods described in this guide, we would recommend using the memory card method. You simply copy the firmware to the root directory of a memory card (don’t put it in a folder), then insert into your R10 and run the update from the setup menu.

If you are downloading to a Mac then when you click on the .dmg file it will mount a drive in finder where you will find the files.

Previous Firmware Versions

The latest version will always include the previous updates. So even if you have missed 5 firmware updates, you only need to install the most recent update.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started RFShooters.com with my amazing sister Emma to share our own adventure with the Canon R Series. At present I own the R5 + RF 100-500 lens. I also run a similar site for Sony Alpha Shooters and also shoot with a Sony A1. I find new camera technology fascinating so I unfortunately suffer from a very bad case of GAS! You can follow me on Instagram if you wish! Although I don’t post as often as I should.
