Features of Canon Camera
Nikon might be releasing an entirely new camera to upgrade its Nikon 1 lineup in small ways, but Canon is going a different route with its 7D DSLR. The company has rolled out a major firmware upgrade that makes major improvements to the features of existing cameras.
The version 2 update, which we first reported on back in June, makes sweet improvements to key specs, including upping the RAW buffer from 15 to 25, adding in-camera RAW editing/JPEG resizing, introducing an in-camera photo rating feature, including the ability to limit maximum Auto ISO between 400-6400, and adding the ability to make manual audio level adjustments during video recording.
To get started with the update, head on over to the Canon USA website’s 7D page, and select your operating system under “Drivers & Software”:
At the time of this post, the update isn’t available yet for Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion users should be able to use the Lion download just fine, though.
This is very interesting. As far as I can remember, this is the first time a firmware upgrade has actually added features. Usually they just improve the device’s system stability.
upping the RAW buffer from 15 to 25 – that is, not surprisingly, camera manufacturers take large hardware margins. Why didn’t they let the buffer be 25 since the beginning? I wonder what other hidden hardware Canon cameras have?
Come on … Canon has released a unique firmware. You are complaining. Do you really believe that Canon made the 7D “bad” from the start? Of course they know have a solution to make it better. Shouldn’t they?!
