May 26, 2010 – Canon has released a new firmware update for the EOS 5D Mark II. Version 2.0.7 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 2.0.4. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 2.0.7, it is not necessary to update.
The firmware incorporates the following improvements and fixes:
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the aperture exhibits abnormal movement when shooting movies in manual exposure mode and Aperture Priority AE (Av mode) using some Canon lenses (such as macro lenses).
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the exposure level shown in the LCD panel differs from what is shown in the viewfinder when shooting still images in manual exposure mode.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which the Wireless File Transmitter (WFT-E4 or WFT-E4 II B) may not automatically power off when used for FTP transfers.
These phenomena only occur with the Version 2.0.4 and Version 2.0.3 firmware.
Here’s a link to download firmware Version 2.0.7

I need help downloading the firmware update for my 5D Markll. When i try to download to my Mac I receive an error message that tells me I don`t have access to this service……
Any other place I can find this update?
Hi Karl,
Do you get the error message after you click the link to download the file, or are you getting the message after the file has been downloaded to your computer and you’re trying to open it? It sounds like a permissions issue with your computer. If you’re running in a restricted user mode you could encounter this problem. Try logging out of your user account and logging in as the administrator. I just downloaded the file to my Mac and it worked ok. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
