Canon EOS-1D X Firmware 2.0.8

[stoneysnapper]

A few weeks ago <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-1d-x-firmware-2-0-8-spotted/">we reported that firmware version 2.0.8</a> for the EOS-1D X had been installed by Canon service on a few cameras in Europe. However, we still haven’t seen a downloadable firmware update for the camera.</p>
<p>A reader of the site sent us an image of the new firmware on his EOS-1D X, so I imagine we’re going to see a downloadable firmware soon.</p>
<p>We’re still unsure what’s been updated in the new firmware.</p>
<p><em>thanks mathias</em></p>

I received my 1Dx back from Canon UK on Tuesday 8th September after having a new sensor fitted. I didn't think to check the firmware version but after seeing your post mine is also at 2.08.

What was wrong with your sensor?
Notice any difference when half pressing the shutter with the new firmware?

Details:
Firmware Version 2.0.8 incorporate the following fix.

Fixes a phenomenon which occurs when the "Shutter button half-press" menu item, configured in "C.Fn5: Operation" > "Custom Controls Menu", is set to metering start only; depending on when the shutter button is half-pressed, it may initiate AutoFocus.


Nothing new
