RE: 7D II firmware 1.0.4 update

How do I tell if my camera already has this update or not? Just got notification about it from Canon. It says some cameras may already have it. PLUS, I remember seeing that there may be certain issues with it. Is it worth loading??? Thanks in advance for your help.

I had no issues with the 1.0.2 version that came with the camera, and have no issues thus far with the updated 1.0.4 version of firmware.

What does Canon say this update will address?

Firmware Version 1.0.4 incorporates the following fixes:


Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera's AF function may not operate properly at a focal length of approximately 100mm when used with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens.
Fixes a phenomenon in which, in rare instances, the reduction of the flicker effect cannot be achieved when in AI servo AF mode, despite the "Anti-flicker shoot" function being set to "Enable".
Fixes a phenomenon in which the Picture Style settings may not be applied to the captured image when the camera is set to custom shooting mode C1, C2 or C3.
Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, the first still image captured in live view mode may not record the correct date and time.
Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, image noise may appear in JPEG images when brightness or contrast is corrected by the Auto Lighting Optimizer function.
Firmware Version 1.0.4 is for cameras with Firmware Version 1.0.2 or earlier. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.0.4, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Canon loves the word "phenomenon"!

It sounds so much better than "screw up" or "error" or "mistake" or "omission".
