Interesting, thanks. Is good to know Canon are still working on improving what is already an amazing camera.

I do wonder whether I have seen the electronic level issue as there have been times when I could have sworn what the camera was saying is straight, wasn't.

Anyone downloaded it yet?

Thanks Canon for this. But it took you approx 3 years to figure out these issues? Really?

Yawn...I'll pass.

Was hoping that they would add multiple my menu screens similar to 7D M2.

I would find that valuable.

This is one heck of a camera even if the price is dropping and a new 50+ MP camera is on the horizon. It's good that Canon continues to support their cameras. I will probably buy one of these in the future.

Has anyone figured out what this does?

I noticed that, too.

OK, 2.0.7 installed, my cam works

I'm curious also, wonder if the 2470 classifies as a "wide angle" lens?

Installed and working at least.

I'm hoping it fixes the issue that happens when you scroll to the edges of the LV AF area (which isn't the edge of the screen) and the cursor/zoomed view snaps back to the center. Hopefully it will just stop now, and won't surprise me by jumping back to center making me scroll all over again. Or better yet, maybe it will go to the edges of the screen and stop there.

I think the update means a new UWA is coming. It's generally for that lens instead of existing ones

That's a definite possibility given the rumored 14-24 f/4L.

I'm hoping it will enable live view autofocus on my TS-E 17L...

Wow, I really haven't been sleeping much lately! I must have crossed over the the dark side (black telephotos and backwards rings) for a moment.

Please forgive me :-[

I heard that it will do that for the TS-E lenses (can't wait to try it), but Canon intentionally disabled AF for Zeiss lenses with this firmware
