I wonder how many people have forgotten how to to update the Firmware correctly?

My advice is follow the instructions provided to the letter.

(And 'Don't Panic!' if it takes a little while to begin... ).

Thanks Phil, and Dean - FWIW, I DO remember how to update the firmware. I'm shocked that I do, but I do

I will update, especially for that mysterious "Fixes minor issues" part.

Be nice to get a significant R7 firmware update to fix or help some of the niggles, especially relating to AF. Doesn't look like a mk2 is coming any time soon despite the fact that I think sales would be through the roof. Can you imagine an R7 with R6ii or R8 AF and less rolling shutter. Maybe an improved resolution on the EV as well. Can't wait.
