Yeah to be honest when Canon originally wrote

Quote:
The phenomenon described below has been confirmed when using the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera.
Canon is now examining the countermeasures and once the countermeasures are decided, we will post the information on our Web site.
I suspected that the response would be something along the lines that they did come out with.

Yep , I would have liked to see a 'Workaround' entry in there.

1. Don't shoot with the lens cap on

2. Don't shoot without a lens and with the body cap on

I'm one of the lucky ones! Both #1 or #2 do not apply to me!

Yet, I bet there will still be people that send theirs in to be "inspected".

I'm planning to send it it after a while when it needs a good clean and check up.

Plus, I'm planning to shoot the back of a few customized body caps in control environment around Xmas so I'll probably send it in then...I don't want no freaking leak!!!

new info

New light leak advisory from Canon:

Concerning the EOS 5D Mark III digital SLR camera, when the LCD panel illuminates in extremely dark environments, the displayed exposure value may change. Canon has concluded the investigation of this phenomenon, and this announcement informs you of our findings as described below.

Phenomenon
In extremely dark environments, if the LCD panel illuminates, the displayed exposure value may change. However, based on the results of extensive testing this change in exposure value will not noticeably affect the captured image.

Affected Product
Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera
*Products whose sixth digit in the serial number is 1 or 2 are affected.
For example,"xxxxx1xxxxxx"or “xxxxx2xxxxxx” ([x] represents any optional number.)

Support
Under almost all shooting conditions (including dark environments) this phenomenon will not affect your captured images. However, if you would like Canon to inspect your camera, we will provide this service free of charge upon request beginning in mid-May. Please contact Canon using the information below to request service.
