Canon promised users to have the firmware upgrade available by the end of the month and just made it. Those who own a 1D MarkIII are loving all the great features and have been anxiously awaiting this fix.

Here’s a list of changes in this firmware version 1.1.0

• Improves the look of images when enlarged on the LCD monitor.
• Countermeasures for Main Dial response errors (Main, Quick Control, Vertical-grip Main).
• Improves the tendency to focus too easily on the background when shooting in AI servo AF under certain conditions.
• Corrects errors in the Italian and Simplified Chinese menu screens.
• Fixes a rare phenomenon in which the camera cannot start normally when the battery is inserted (Version 1.0.9 only).

You can grab the upgrade at Canon’s EOS website here. The link is toward the bottom of the page and it’s about a 10 meg download. Update instructions are provided after clicking the link.
