Title: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware v1.1.0 is Now Available
Post by: melastmohican on June 02, 2009, 00:00
Firmware Version 1.1.0 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.

   1. Includes a function to enable the manual exposure setting when shooting movies.
   2. *For details on how to use this function, please download the PDF files from the bottom of this page. Disables the function of the depth-of-field preview button when images are played back or when the menu screen is displayed on the LCD panel.
   3. Fixes a phenomenon where the peripheral illumination of images cannot be properly corrected, even if the images were captured with the lens peripheral illumination correction function set to Enable.
   4. *Digital Photo Professional software version 3.6.1 or later (for Windows and Macintosh) can be used to automatically correct the peripheral illumination of RAW and JPEG images that were captured in the Peripheral illumination correction setting with cameras that have Firmware Version 1.0.7 or earlier. Fixes the algorithms of the Auto Lighting Optimizer function when Custom Function C.Fn II-3 Highlight tone priority is enabled.
   5. Fixes incorrect indications on the Arabic, Romanian, Spanish, and Ukrainian menu screens.
   6. Changes the battery information displayed on the camera when using the optional Battery Grip BG-E6.

Firmware Version 1.1.0 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.0.7. If the camera's firmware is already version 1.1.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

thanks -> Off to update my camera

I am always a little nervous clicking on 'tinyurls' and not knowing where they lead too, especially when they lead to a file download  (even when they are from someone I trust) :) 

For those nervous types like me ;), and those who need instructions, here is a link with instructions and the download file as well

I don't see the purpose of tinyurl, as they don't even make addresses easier to remember.

no but it makes the tinier.  In here it isn't a big deal but sometimes URL's get REALLY long.  Try pasting a google maps url.  they can be 3 lines long in an email and get messed up when you send them.  That is when TinyURL comes in handy.  That, or twitter.

Nothing is easier than a copy & paste, anyway.  :)
