This issue pertains to burst mode.
It is said that a part of an image, shot prior to the one after may appear as an afterimage (like it has been burned in) on the following shot. It is most unlikely that you will notice this effect in a normal jpeg but it is said that it may become apparent when you adjust the exposure, contrast, etc in post.

There should be word from Canon USA soon.
thanks Clark
Out of the office today
I won't be around today, I'm off to have some fun with some mates. Some little band named Metallica has rolled into town and invited CR Guy to come see them(for a large fee).
I obliged.
cr
sexy
so many problems with the EOS 7D?? what the frick?!?!?!
Makes me glad I’m buying a pre-owned 1DMkIII…oh wait, didn’t that have some weird issues too?! :)
This is why I don’t buy the bleeding edge anything. I work in tech. There will always be a wrinkle or 2 that was not anticipated.
+1 for late adopting
Strange, at Nikon, they like to call this kind of thing a “Feature”.
multi exposure!
Bummer to hear but the 7d I purchased a few weeks ago is working like a charm. The new autofocus is stinking amazing.
Meh. Since this service/issue notice is the first that I’m hearing of it, I’m guessing this hasn’t been a real problem for users at large (or this place would have been ringing with it).
What are the other “many problems” with 7D? Mine’s been working great without a hitch.
My 7D works awesomely. No problems at all.
Wait CR are you in London, Ontario? That is so awesome!!! That’s my hometown!
haha – that woke me up better than the coffee this morning did
Some little Band, Metallica, ahah ^^
Lucky you, have a great time! hope to see some pictures ;)
I don’t see any problems with my 7D. Have shot several burst mode sessions of my dog running full speed. Any problems with results were more my trying to keep up with the dog, not a camera problem. Still, I may not have stressed the burst mode
enough to reveal this problem in my 7D. Plan to watch for firmware update. I’m currently running 1.09 – which came with camera.
problems, again? Come on!
Strange how Canon refer to its problem as “phenomenon” while Nikon calls theirs “further enhancement”.
The problem is already acknowledged on Canon Australia website:

I compiled a list with known 7D problems on Fred Miranda forum:

I have one of the very first batch of the 7D.. Never encountered this in multiple shoots of Horse racing, Ski Doo jumps or airplanes landing.. I also have not had a single issue with the 7D.. Owned both 20D,40D & 50D.. by far the best EOS line to date.. My good friend kept his 40D as a backup camera when he got the 7D.. but has not used it since the 7D. These kind of things to happen with all electronic toys.. MY HD Video Popcornhour C200 had many issues when it first came out.. but a couple of firmware fixes.. it works like a charm.. Glad to see that canon is going to address this issue.. I know the people who have this must be frustrated, but it will get fixed.
Making fun of Nikon to cover up Canon’s QC problems is logical and brilliant.
That is all.
I think the ghost is because the pixels on sensor will not “cool down quickly enough” and sensor “remembers” the last shot. If i have right, then there is nothing to do with new firmware, it’s a sensor issue. Sensor with a memory – it is an 4-dimensional sensor :P
Canon, thats why we wanted less megapixels from aps-c!
Oh sure, besides 9 stop AEB, that is one of the features, canon forgot to copy from Nikon camp. Probably they will show up in 7D Mark II or 8D, as a “first time in canon history” thingy..Lol
What other problems are you aware of?
I bought my 7D on the 9th… I used it to shoot football that night, took my 1Dmk2 as “backup”… haven’t shot the 1Dm2 since and in fact have sold the 1Dmk2, it seemed archaic compared to the 7D… Love the 7D, no problems thus far… at least no problems that I didn’t have with the 1Dmk2… usual user error stuff… I’m shooting stuff with the 7D I couldn’t with the mk2… I shoot A LOT of bursts… Thankfully no issues here! Considering skipping the Mk4 and buying at least one more 7D if not two more…

Look up “vertical banding”. My new 7D has it. At ISO 100. Funny enough, higher ISOs seem to mask it with noise.
Yes, I work for Canon and I’m posting a jab at Nikon to divert attention from our horrible QC problem. You got me. I secretly own a Nikon. Dude, grow a sense of humor.
I think you nailed it. Less megapixels from APS-C until you can get the EF-S lenses in “L” quality. Doesn’t do much good to have 100 megapixels if your lens is only good for 10. I’d prefer a 12mp sensor and be done with it. Just make the 12mp better and better, don’t fuss with the numbers game. Think G11.
ENJOY the mighty Metallica! I actually got one of james hetfield’s picks when they came to milton keynes bowl in 1992!
It’s okay – you can say “used”.
1.09 firmware is up !
http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos7d/firmware.html
What has been changed in Firmware Version 1.0.9?
Firmware Version 1.0.9 includes the following fixes:
1.Improves AF accuracy during Live View shooting.
This firmware improves the AF accuracy of the AF mode, Live mode, and Face detection Live mode during Live View shooting.
2.Corrects a phenomenon where in rare instances, movie images shot by the camera may exhibit abnormal colors.
3.Corrects a phenomenon that at certain timings, the shutter cannot be released when the camera’s built-in flash or an external Speedlite is used for shooting.
This firmware corrects a phenomenon that in rare instances, the shutter cannot be released after the AF assist beam fires when the camera’s built-in flash or an external Speedlite is used for shooting. Firmware Version 1.0.8 or later addresses this phenomenon.
So you live in Toronto?
Anyway, have a nice evening and keepup the good work.
Greetz, Peter
PS.
You happen to know Michael Reichmann?
is this an example of the issue? I can’t really see it.
My 7D has a cluster of bright blue pixels in high ISO video mode. I have to call canon and see what to do about that.
Burn.
Is it possible to lower the CMOS sensor voltage to 0.425V, and double its frequency?
Is it possible to double the sampling rate of the AF system and also lower its voltage?
Is it possible to have better cooler standby mood for 7D?
Many people have alos become fans of Paul Smith Shoes since they came into the market. I also one of them , I very like Paul Smith Wallets and <a Paul Smith Belts,It designs very good.
Not entirely what I had been looking for nonetheless it was some good reading anyway, guess its a ok that I wasn’t capable of doing a search properly or I wouldn’t ended up here.
