But what did you expect? This is Canon we are talking about – not Fuji. Just fixing things that were not working correctly in the first place. No new features, and no new functionality. Overall, it looks to be a pretty standard ‘fixes’ firmware update from Canon.

Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, image noise may appear in JPEG images when brightness or contrast is corrected by the Auto Lighting Optimizer function.

Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, the first still image captured in live view mode may not record the correct date and time.

Fixes a phenomenon in which the Picture Style settings may not be applied to the captured image when the camera is set to custom shooting mode C1, C2 or C3.

Fixes a phenomenon in which, in rare instances, the reduction of the flicker effect cannot be achieved when in AI servo AF mode, despite the “Anti-flicker shoot” function being set to “Enable”.

Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera’s AF function may not operate properly at a focal length of approximately 100mm when used with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens.
