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.
