Canon has released a firmware update for the EOS-5D Mark III.</p>
<p><strong>Affected Product

</strong>EOS 5D Mark III</p>
<p><strong>

Firmware</strong>

Firmware Version 1.1.2 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.</p>
<p>1. Supports a new accessory, GPS receiver GP-E2.

2. Fixes a phenomenon where a pink cast may develop over the image when the shutter is completely pressed with the camera’s power turned off (by the auto power off setting).

3. Fixes a phenomenon where the camera operation stops after one shot when shooting in High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode.

4. Fixes a phenomenon where the Shooting Date/Time in the EXIF data of the image shows a later time than the actual shooting time.

5. Fixes the time zone for the Samoa Islands.

6. Corrects errors in the Finnish menu screen.</p>
<p>Firmware Version 1.1.2 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.0.7. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1.1.2, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

The new Firmware Version 1.1.2 can be downloaded by <strong><a href="http://usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#DriversAndSoftware">clicking here</a></strong>.</p>

FINALLY!!!

Out of curiosity i was browsing online pictures of Somoa Islands - A beautiful place though :)

Yeah and that one dude who lives there and owns a 5D3 is happy as a pig in s**t right now :)

and his 5d3 is customized with a DR of 14.3 and can AF at f18 wow! :o

I am surprised how fast this firmware update came from time the camera was released. Typically, they wait a little longer untill more serious issues are uncovered/addressed and to give their firmware release QC dept more testing time. The Soma Island guy must have been very convincing ;D

Even though i have Lion OS i am going to download the snow leopard firmware and see if it takes. I would guess it does...I wanted to find this link back to report my findings later as i am not home with my 5dm3 right now. I did download it with no problems and it comes with PDF's in diff languages as well as the Firmware file for the camera.
