EOS 7D firmware v2 now available
Canon has announced that the EOS 7D firmware v2 is now available - it further enhances the DSLR camera by adding a range of new benefits and functionality for those who are looking to explore the creative boundaries of their photography.
Following direct user feedback from photographers around the world the new firmware further extends the 18 Megapixel EOS 7D’s advanced image quality, high-speed shooting and creative functionality.
Firmware v2 now offers greater control of image settings and functionality, including a higher maximum RAW burst rate, now up to 25 RAW files or 130 JPEGs. Giving photographers greater control over images directly after capture, a new range of in-camera editing functions includes processing of RAW files, as well as the ability to easily adjust white balance, sharpness and Picture Style. Enhanced control over Auto ISO levels during both still and movie shooting now allows users to limit ISO speeds to within the native ISO 400-6400 range; perfect for manipulating exposure in different situations.
During movie shooting videographers will also benefit from new manual control of audio levels, with the ability to choose from 64 different sound levels. New compatibility with Canon’s high-performance GPS unit, the GP-E2, enables photographers to track the locations of their images using longitude, latitude and altitude geo-tagging.
