Firmware update for 7D

[marekjoz]

but will it be able to process RAW-files from other Cameras ? ...thinking of 1ds3 Raws...

Do you want to upload files from other cameras to 7d with firmware 2.0?

I want to take a card with 1ds files on it and process them in the 7d, so I can copy the edited jpgs to an sd card to give them to someone.

Might make sense.

I get the idea, but I don't think it'll work. Maybe some cameras, but not all...

I hope I'm wrong, but something there tells me that RAW import may be broken for third-party apps for a short while after the update is in the wild... :-\

Lets hope that at the very least canon release new DPP updates in tandem, or that the CR2's are close enough to recent ACR upgrades...

Another reason not to update firmware at the stroke of midnight.

I'm a great fan of letting other folk break their cameras first.

Anybody tried the firmware update yet? I just downloaded it from Canon USA and it took quite a while so I figure the world is downloading it...

 

[marekjoz]

Downloading since a few minutes. 25 KB/s

I downloaded it at over 1MB/sec. Only took a few seconds to download for me...

Auto ISO is a bit of a letdown, can only choose full stop ISOs. Not in between

Ok, we know it was August "something" but does anyone know WHEN Canon will release it? I am getting anxious.

It seems like its out, look here http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/professional/professional_cameras/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_7d#DriversAndSoftware

In case anyone has forgotten exactly what this firmware update adds and fixes:

And it seems like it's been out for over 10 days on the SG website already.

Downloading..... ;D

I just downloaded it in about 20 seconds. Honestly, I am looking forward to the increased RAW buffer size.

It's mighty fast. Just did a JPEG only test, got 120 and stopped (don't want to kill that shutter)
RAW+JPEG I got 19 before it stopped. RAW only 23 (could be my card).

Love the new setting to limit auto-ISO.

In-camera raw processing is actually interesting because that way I can shoot raw only without a PC on-hand.

In-camera rating of images is nice too (though it involves a lot of clicks/rotations)

 

[efohbe]

Mine says the same thing, "23" but if you hold the shutter release, when it got the #23. 2RAWs have been written to the card and allows 2 more to be buffered

Take U.S. version, it's the same ;D

Take U.S. version, it's the same ;D

You sure? It contains all languages? Or only English?

All languages in one file. They'd have more mess with preparing separate files each language. The fle wieights 17,5MB and one set of localized strings is something like 1-4kB, so you can put there all languages of the world without noticing saginificant file size growth.
