Hi,
This is my fisrt post in this forum and not for the best reasons
...
I have two 7D bodies with two original batteries... i have checked battery info in both of them before updrade.
it happen that after upgrade to V2.0 (folowing recommended procedures) one the cameras is displaying an error message about being impossible to communicate wit the battery. I have checked the battery in the other body and it works fine; also the camera works if ignore the error but without any info about the battery.
I have already :
- reinstalled firmware
- removed the small battery and left the camera without both during some minutes
- recharged the battery to 100%
- put another battery from the other camera
Nothing has solved the problem...
Anyone had something similar after upgrade? or anyone can give a hint?
Thanks

No lockup issues or perfromance issues.Paul W. H said:
To finish the story. I sent the 7D off to a Canon Repair Centre in the UK (CPS Silver Member) and got it back a week later after having the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) replaced at a total cost of £234.00 UKP (370.00 USD), they originally thought that it was the Shutter Mechanism causing the problem.
Did the firmware update cause the fault, who knows !!

1) in flash menu, auto detecting lense length doesn't work, like 50mm lense suppose to let my 580ex zoom to 85mm, but it didn't happen, the flash stayed at 50mm
2) my 50L, are completely two lenses when in low light and in ourdoor ambient light, in low light I have to add +10 in microadjust lense shift, in good light there is no problem.
3) 7D might not be able to focus objects over 25 meters, but I don't have longer lense, for in 50L's f/1.2, all that is over 25meters might be in hyperfocal distance so I really couldnt tell, but my two 50/1.8 lenses couldn't focus over that distance, and that occurs 100%.

Re: 7D firmware upgrade problems
No issue found in my 7D.
Image preview is faster, image rating is fine feature, but too deeply nested, so I don't use it. Max auto ISO works as expected, but I don't use it because to slow times are offerred when shooting with 85/1.8, I need to keep 1/200s and faster, no way to set up it ;( I don't use any other new features.

Re: 7D firmware upgrade problems
Only issue I've seen was my intervalometer (Promaster 3070 I believe) now only works as a standard remote shutter release and only if the device is in the off position. I can set the device for delay, exposure time etc, but the camera only takes a single image based on the last settings I used. Strange, but it's a 3rd party so I'm not exactly surprised and I guess it's a change you take.
