Canon detects problem with 5D Mark II firmware

Filed under Gears,Product Reviews . Tags: , , , , , — • Written by johnlo March 18, 2010 @ 9:12 am

Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up about the new Canon 5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.3 since I mentioned to you all the other day.   Here’s what they said on their website:

Recently we have discovered a malfunction that occurs with Firmware Version 2.0.3, in which the manual recording levels for C1/C2/C3 are changed and the camera becomes unable to record audio if the power is turned off (or if Auto power off takes effect) after registering “Sound Recording: Manual” in the camera user settings.

We apologize very sincerely for the inconvenience, but we are going to stop making this firmware available for download. For customers who have already updated to the new firmware, when using the camera with the mode dial set to C1/C2/C3, please either set the sound recording settings to Auto.

We are currently preparing firmware that will correct this malfunction. As soon as those preparations have been completed, we will let you know on this Web site. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience this represents, but please wait until the fixed firmware is ready.

Fact:  Never let anything or anyone get in the way between you and your family.  :-)

Canon just released the long awaited firmware update for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II that will or should I say finally gives this camera the cinema feel 23.97 (24p) frame rate and the manual audio controls. If you haven’t done so yet, you need to update your camera now. You can download it at  http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos5dmk2/firmware.html.

So what was added in this firmware? Here’s a small list (my list)

  • Adds 24 fps (23.976 fps) to 1920×1080
  • Manual Audio Control
  • Add Tv and Av to the shooting mode.
  • The ability to display the Histogram in live view when shooting.
  • Audio sampling rate changed to 48 KHz

If you like to learn more, please visit http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3287 with much more details and information on this 2.0.3 firmware for the Canon 5D Mark II

I’ll post a sample video later this week using the 24fps.

Btw, if you are having a problem downloading the firmware due to heavy traffic, shoot me an email and I will get you the file.   Thanks Chris for posting the file to download.  :)
