“By introducing this firmware we want our customers to know that we are always looking to enhance the user experience for all of our current products in the marketplace,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. The firmware also adds the ability to adjust up to 64 audio levels manually prior to recording video, supports custom file naming, and allows for compatibility with Canon’s newly introduced, optional GPS Receiver GP-E2. The update, free to all EOS 7D owners, gives the camera more advanced shooting options, including an increase in the maximum number of burst images taken in the RAW file format (from 15i frames to 25ii frames) as well as the ability to process RAW image files directly in the camera and the option to set a maximum ISO setting in ISO Auto mode. LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., J– Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced a firmware update for the EOS 7D Digital SLR camera that adds new functionality to improve its performance for serious photographers and semi-professional users. New Firmware Enhances Functionality Of EOS 7D Digital SLRįree Update Increases Buffer Capacity to 25 RAW Images, Adds In-Camera RAW Processing and Many Other New Features That said, quite why it has taken Canon so long to offer this to users is a mystery to me – as it the lack of manual audio level control to users of its previous flagship model the 1D mkIV.

This upgrade will be very welcome by owners of the 7D. It will be a free downloadable firmware upgrade that will be available in early August.

The version 2.0.X firmware upgrade also improves the 7D’s still capabilities and especially burst shooting in RAW.

This brings the 7D into line with the rest of the Canon DSLR pro lineup which already feature this. Canon have finally given users of the 7D what many have asked for – manual audio level control.
