Hi folks, is anyone aware of this?

The EOS-1D X Mark II camera and its Fall 2016 firmware upgrade


Canon shooters who use (or may consider using) the top-of-the-line EOS-1D X Mark II camera should be aware that a significant firmware upgrade is being made available for free download in Fall of 2016 for that camera. One of the changes it adds to the 1D X Mark II is the addition of the same LCD Color Tone menu option in the camera’s Set-up Menu.


The EOS-1D X Mark II with this firmware will behave in the same way as the EOS 5D Mark IV, as described in this article. The LCD monitor is essentially the same on the two cameras, and the various color tone options can be adjusted to achieve the same results.
Moving forward, new EOS-1D X Mark II cameras, produced from roughly fall of 2016 onward, will have this firmware factory-installed, and have the Color Tone adjustment for their LCD monitors in their Set-up Menu.

As this relates to to the LCD and not 'embedding into the capture' can anyone shed some light on what's the use?
