Firmware Update for 5d Mark II

[Michael Pancier]

It fixes the black dot issue and the banding issue.

Ver. 1.07

1. "Black dot" phenomenon (the right side of point light sources becomes black)

When shooting night scenes, the right side of point light sources (such as lights from building windows) may become black. The phenomenon may become visible if the images are enlarged to 100% or greater on a monitor or if extremely large prints of the images are made. This firmware improves and mitigates this phenomenon.
2. Vertical banding noise

If the recording format is set to sRAW1, vertical banding noise may become visible depending on the camera settings, subject, and background. The firmware improves and mitigates this phenomenon.

Haven't done so yet. My friend did and had no issues.

I shot yesterday and the update works fine with no issues. Have not tried night shots though.

My 5DII has does not have the problems that the update is supposed to fix, so I do not plan to do the update at this time.
