Canon 40D Gets Firmware Update
Written by Maxit   

Canon 40D 

Owners of the Canon 40D digital camera (you know who you are you lucky people) will be pleased to hear there is an important firmware update available from Canon.

The new verson is 1.0.8 and it includes the following improvements and fixes:

   1. Fixes a phenomenon in which Image Stabilization operation emits a sound when certain buttons are pressed, with the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens attached to the camera.

    When pressing the shutter button halfway down or pressing the AF-ON button, the IS operation sound is normal. (This phenomenon will not affect the durability of IS unit parts)

   2. Fixes a phenomenon in which the Image Stabilization operation emits a sound from the lens when IS lenses are attached to the camera.

   3. Fixes a phenomenon in which a part of the image looks unnatural when reviewed on the LCD.

Depending on the color of the background, the edges of some objects in the image may appear to have a jagged edge and look unnatural. (Even if the image played back on the camera's LCD is affected by this phenomenon, the actual image data is not affected.)

   4. Corrects errors in the Spanish and Norwegian menu screens.

    Spanish:

    In the metering timer setting of the Live View Function setting, the units for 10 and 30 minutes are in singular form "minuto"; they have been corrected to "minutos".

    Norwegian:

    Picture Style was described as "Bildetype"; it has been corrected to "Bildestil".

Improvements made in previous versions are  included in this new firmware, so if you have yet to update your 40D, scoot on over to the Canon website.
