Downloading updates
You can download Canon software from:
Canon USA and from
Canon Europe sites -to name two of them.
Installing updates issue
The problem is, there are updates only -so original software (from CD) is requested to be installed first. I see at least two cases where this can be a problem:
1. You bought your camera second hand -without original CD,
2. Installing "old" software just because updating, well...
Installing update without having original installed
All those updates are actually full applications. Without going into "where & how", here's the procedure:
Prepare for installing update
- . Open Notepad and write (or copy/paste into Notepad):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\EOS Utility]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\DPP]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\ZoomBrowser EX]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Canon\PhotoStitch]
2.Now save that (as CanonUpdate for example) -where txt extension will be added automatically
3.Rename CanonUpdate.txt into CanonUpdate.reg
4.Now right-click onto CanonUpdate.reg file and select Merge option
5.You'll be asked if you wish to add into Registry -where you choose Yes (of course)
6.Now you're ready to install any update, without having original installed.
Example for Windows7 64-bit:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Canon\DPP
