EOS Bodies / Re: 1DX lock up?

Ran chkdsk /R /F from command prompt, and it found no errors. I also ran "error checking" (right click on drive, properties, tools, "error checking"). It, too, found no issues.

Hmm...

FYI flash is not like a hard drive and bad flash sectors are usually automatically remapped in the cf card's firmware so unless it's totally screwed a chkdsk /f /r /x won't help or let you know there's a problem. It's technically possible that it's still the card but i'd still suspect some camera bugs.

So I updated mine and I'm not too sure about the Illumination. They didn't mention that it would flash and flicker. This is particularly annoying because the lcd overlay means the whole VF tints red slightly including the AF in lower right and the grid if you have that on.

The 1D3 did this much better and brighter without being annoying but I suspect this is a compromise due to the design of the overlay.

I'm not sure now if i'll leave it enabled or not....
