Firmware update resolves EOS 6D video issue

Firmware Version 1.1.2 for the EOS 6D fixes a phenomenon which prevents movie files shot using Canon EOS 6D Digital SLR cameras from being played back on YouTube. You can download firmware version1.1.2 at http://software.canon-europe.com/ However, firmware version 1.1.2 may present some Video Snapshot limitations, as follows: 1. EOS 6D running Firmware Version 1.0.9: If a video snapshot captured when the camera was running firmware 1.0.9 is combined with a video snapshot created by a camera which was running firmware 1.1.2, the resulting video snapshot album will be corrupted. 2. EOS 6D running Firmware Version 1.1.2: If you try to add a video snapshot from a camera running firmware 1.1.2 to the video snapshot album created when the camera was running firmware 1.0.9, a warning message "Cannot select this movie" will appear and the video snapshot cannot be added to the album.

EOS-1D X and the f8 issue

Auto-focusing may not function at f8 on some EOS-1D X cameras with firmware version 1.1.1. This version enabled the centre AF point to autofocus when the camera is used with lens/extender combinations, whose combined maximum aperture is f8. On some of the cameras with firmware version 1.1.1, auto-focusing does not function at f8. This is not an issue with the firmware itself, but with its installation at the factory. The problem can be overcome by overwriting the firmware. This phenomenon does not occur with a camera whose firmware has been updated by a user, or by a Canon service center. Cameras with 4 or 5 as the sixth digit from the left in the serial number are affected. Even when the sixth digit from the left in theserial number is 4 or 5, cameras with a white dot in the battery compartment are not affected. To overwrite the installed firmware and activate the auto-focusing at f8, simply re-install firmware version 1.1.1. There is no change to the firmware ve...
