Download and Installation Instructions
This Firmware update (Version 1.0.5) incorporates the following additional functions and corrections:

1. When making camera-direct prints, a semi-gloss paper can be newly selected in the camera settings. When EOS 30D is connected to PIXUS 9000 and camera-direct prints are made with PictBridge-compatible printers, semi-gloss paper can be selected in the camera settings.
   
   
2. Corrected the phenomenon wherein the displayed number of continuous shots that can be taken increases when images that have been taken are deleted.
   
   The maximum burst displayed during continuous shooting is 9 (maximum burst displayed on the viewfinder when shooting in the RAW+JPEG setting is 7).
   
   Please refer to the instruction manual for an estimate of the actual number of shots that can be taken continuously.
   

Doesn't appear to be worth the bother...

WHY are they trying to fix/improve the useless print-direct feature! who uses that!??!

Canon makes great printers, but to get the best out of them, one has do a myriad of processing on the image file (preferably RAW).

Trying to improve something like the print button is like trying the make the teats on a man functional.

It would be nice if Canon would do firmware updates that are actually useful in the real world, maybe even enhance something, not just "fix" things that don't matter
I got my 30D last March and it came with 1.0.5.

Thanks for the heads up, but I wont bother with this one.

Strange fact for the day
Oddly enough, they already are! All that's lacking is the right hormonal stimulus.

That was my conclusion too... Updates can bring new bugs as well, so if it's not doing you any good, it's probably not a good idea to go through with it.

Yeah another one for the "not worth the bother".

If it aint broke - don't fix it

Thanks for sharin tho Vince

Ditto for me. I didn't bother with the last one either.

pass

You have far too much time on your hands. You really need to go out and start taking more pictures

1.0.5 has been out for longer than that ...... weird
