Canon EOS 5D Mark III Firmware 1.1.3

New Firmware
Canon is issuing new firmware for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III on June 19, 2012. No new features have been added to the camera. I'm told that is is coming at a later date.

Firmware Version 1.1.3 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.

1. Supports the single focal length EF40mm f/2.8 STM lens that is to be released at the end of June, 2012.
2. Fixes a phenomenon in which an image may become underexposed when using the Auto Lighting Optimizer for continuous Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) shooting.
3. Fixes a phenomenon in which the backlight of the LCD monitor may not turn off depending on the camera settings and timing.
4. Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera's power may not turn on when a super-telephoto lens*1) is mounted to the camera with an extender*2).
5. – EF 300mm F2.8L IS II USM / EF 400mm F2.8L IS II USM
6. – Extender EF 1.4X III / Extender EF 2X III
7. Corrects mistakes in the Dutch, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish menu screens
