I hope this works. My R7 went back to Canon twice without getting a cure for the shutter running on while holding down another button problem. I'll be out testing it today.

NOPE! No change after installing the firmware update. The shutter still runs on while holding down the AF-ON button. I have now read that others are having the same issue with their R7 camera bodies. Oh well. I was thinking of selling it in any case.

Ooooh that\'s it. I was experiencing the same stupid bug, where the camera doesn\'t stop machine gunning, since I switched to back button focus.
With the shutter sound of the R7 being loud as hell, I was scared to trigger some PTSD patients.

Okay... I took it out again and it was okay. Further testing is in order.

I just did the upgrade using the in camera card method. No problems with the upgrade. Haven\'t had a chance to
check the camera with respect to shooting pictures but expect it to be \"the same\" (but better). It preserved my custom programs (C1, C2, and C3) so I\'m a happy camper.

The problem is not completely solved. It occurs less often, usually only once in 150-200 frames. Hopefully, the next update will further address the issue.
