Q: Are the previous versions of firmware included in version 2.1.2?Ī: Yes, the following improvements from the previous versions are included.ġ. Q: What are some changes of Firmware Version 2.1.2?Ī: The following change has been incorporated. The extracted folder contains the firmware (file name: 5D200212.FIR, file size: 9,754,668 bytes) and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese).īefore starting the firmware update operations, please confirm the contents of the download, and carefully read through the firmware update procedures. Right-click the zip file, and then select Extract All to extract the file. If the camera's firmware is already Version 2.1.2, it is not necessary to update the firmware.Īfter the downloaded compressed file (.zip) is extracted, a firmware folder is created. The Version 2.1.2 firmware being released this time is for cameras with firmware up to Version 2.1.1.
Optimizes the camera’s performance when using certain UDMA 7-compatible CF cards released in February 2012 or later. But you do get other benefits of UDMA 7 cards, so it's an overall big improvement.Firmware Version 2.1.2 incorporates the following change.ġ. Sure the FW may allow better support for UDMA 7 cards, but the hardware is not able to take full benefit and so you will not see as fast card write speeds in 7D as you will in 1D X and 5D III. I did not think you could add support for UDMA 7 protocol fully without hardware changes.
Have you tested this yet? Is it really only UDMA 6 speeds, or is it faster than UDMA 6, but, not meeting the official UDMA 7 standard?Īs meantioned with the size and speed of the buffer from a practical stand point it probably really doesn't matter.īut, with the proper card reader you can benefit from the UDMA 7 cards increased speed on the post processing side. It has been made compatible with the UDMA 7 cards to utilize UDMA 6 transfer modes.Īnd if you need confirmation of this fact then just read the speed information in the V2 camera manual where it states that a UDMA 7 card will behave exactly like a UDMA 6 card with regard to the transfer speed. I meant that the camera can't utilize the UDMA 7 transfer speeds. Not the right right circuitry! Please share your source - do you have one? No info is better than incorrect info.
