Canon updates firmware for EOS 5D Mark II

Firmware changes

This firmware update (Version 2.0.8 ) incorporates the following changes and fixes.

1. Fixes a phenomenon in which movies are not taken at the shooting mode registered in the user's settings if a shooting mode Aperture priority (or Shutter priority) is registered in any of the camera's user settings (C1, C2, C3) and the user attempts to shoot a movie.
   
2. Fixes a phenomenon in which the shutter will not release when pressing the shutter button when the auto power off function is set to "on".
   
3. Fixes a phenomenon in which overexposure occurs when shooting a Live View shooting simulation with the ISO speed set to L.
   
4. Fixes a phenomenon in which the settings of the Speedlite transmitter ST-E2 revert to the default settings when both the camera and the ST-E2 are set to auto power off.
   
5. Fixes a phenomenon in which the Macro Ring Lite (MR-14EX, MT-24EX) and slave flash do not sync while shooting wirelessly.

I'm doin it.... let's hope nothing breaks.

Oooh, mine's waiting to collected after a visit to Canon, I would presume they will have done mine..

Mine just came in from Canon brand spanking new Yesterday and it had 2.0.7. I figured they would of had it updated.

Tough one. Mines perfect........if it's not broke why fix it? Dunno about that one.

Maybe I'll wait for the one that fixes this terrible AF & Banding problem......lol

I presumed wrong!

Just updated myself.

Personally, I'm sticking to the Magic Lantern firmware.

I'm curious of your experiences with the Magic Lantern firmware. From what I am understanding it is an adjunct and does not replace the Canon in camera firmware.

It's great, though still buggy. I mostly use it for the video features, but some of them are really useful for stills, like automated focus stacking.

Yes.

It's the focus stacking feature that has me intrigued. When you say buggy, does it hang the camera? Just doesn't work? Are resets easy?

I'll pass, I dont' have any issues with the list mentioned although It does meter different from when the live view is on compared to it not being on. Ohh and the fact that it underexposes by 1-2 stops.
