Are you kidding?
Why would you update one camera with another camera firmware?

Thanks for the heads up on the link!

Coolness! Gotta do this when I get home in the morning! =)

Wow, that was a big file! but it seems to have kept all my settings. Did anyone lose their settings or anything funky?

I don't think you are using the right tool, try a hammer. It should fit then....

I've asked this question before and from what people have said here, it keeps your settings.

RG talks about the new Firmware update here:

Is there anyway to do this without a card reader?

EDIT: N/M. I used a laptop SD card reader to do it

"Improved autofocus tracking when photographing low-contrast subjects"

been trying this out a bit.. i'm getting really great results indoors in my room with my wife watching TV, telling her to move around a bit (heh heh).

the settings i found to be really good for low light is:
cfn III - 2 = FAST (all the way right)
cfn III - 3 = 0
cfn III - 4 = 1

AI SERVO, DRIVE H, Auto AF selection, iso 3200/6400, using my 50mm @ f/1.4

so as per manual pg83, for auto AF selection, point the camera so first shot is aimed at center ring of focus screen, then fire away while subject moves within the AF area.

great results. it is too bad i didnt do test shots BEFORE the upgrade from 1.1.0 heh. so i guess my results arent conclusive since i do not have a baseline. but whatever.. i love my mark3 so far.

So can you just load in this update or do you have to do the previous update first, then this update next?

I think you have to download it to your PC first than get your CF card and hook it up to the card reader and load it on the CF. Once you've done that, install your CF into the MK III. Than install the firmware and it will update it for ya.
