Apparently around 2009 or so Canon began making all models they sell in Japan with only two or three language options in an attempt to discourage grey market purchasers. Even if another firmware version is released, you will still only be able to select from the languages originally included in your camera's menu. One purchaser from Australia mentioned on a discussion board that the local Canon Service Center said it would require a main board replacement to enable the full range of languages included in the cameras intended for US and Europe. Cameras sold in other Asian countries, such as India and Hong Kong, also have a different list of languages stored in the camera's main board, according to this discussion. "according to this discussion" in the quote above refers to the thread on this board relative to the 7D having the same characteristic when purchased overseas.

The current firmware for the 6D is 1.1.6.. http://www.usa.canon.com …eos_6d#DriversAndSoftware This is no firmware issue. The camera is bought in Japan and that´s why the camera has three languages. Japanese, Chinese and English. I have the same because I once lived in Japan.

Jul 14, 2015 17:49 | #5 OK undrestood. So this must be a Japanese camera then. I have the newest firmware too. Well, that's not the most important thing for me to have different languages on my 6D, I can use it with English menu too. ernest dlutek facebook page
