Canon 7D Firmware Update

By Matt J. Weiss, April 16, 2010 @ 10:17 AM (EST)

 For Canon EOS 7D users, Canon has posted a firmware update.  Firmware 1.2.1 is  a minor upgrade,  but fixes a few bugs.  For anyone experiencing an issue with magenta vertical bars appearing when shooting stills in video mode, that issue has been dealt with.

Here is a list of all the fixes, and complete information can be found here.

  1. Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed and the timing of automatic shut down of the camera due to a rise in internal temperature during Live View or EOS Movie functions.
  2. Optimizes program shift when the ISO setting of the camera is set to AUTO.
  3. Corrects a misspelling in the French-language menu.  
  4. Corrects a phenomenon in which vertical magenta-colored banding appears in still images taken in movie-shooting mode.
(This only occurs when in Manual exposure mode and when the ISO speed is set to "H". Note that this phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.0)
