EOS 5D MarkII Firmware Update Version 1.0.7
Posted January 12, 2009. Filed under Product Announcement.
Firmware v1.0.7 for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II,
Firmware Update Version 1.0.7 improves and mitigates the following two types of image quality phenomena that occur under certain shooting conditions.
- "Black dot" phenomenon (the right side of point light sources become black)
- Vertical banding noise
The information accompanying the new firmware recommends that users of Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) and Picture Style Editor, who shoot on either sRAW1 or sRAW2, should update these applications as well. Canon EOS 5D Mark II photos taken on either sRAW setting with firmware v1.0.7 loaded, and then viewed in DPP or Picture Style Editor, will apparently show a magenta shift in darker areas.
The new software versions - DPP 3.5.2 and Picture Style Editor 1.4.2 for Mac and Windows - correct this, and are available here (follow the link, and then choose your operating system from the pulldown menu). Third party applications that support the EOS 5D Mark II's sRAW formats may also need to be revised if they show the same magenta shift with firmware v1.0.7.
What has changed in Firmware Version 1.0.7?
Why is it required to update the Digital Photo Professional and Picture Style Editor software? |
