  C100 update

  Posted by Marcial Reiley on July 5, 2013 at 8:47 pm

  I just updated firmware to 1.0.1.1.00. At first I kept getting a check battery message, though the battery I was using was fully charged. I switched from a generic battery to a canon and all went smoothly. As for the new firmware I haven’t tried it out yet with a EF-S 18-135.

  Sounds like the same problem Canon did with the 5D Mark iii firmware 1.2.1 when you use a third party battery. It will still work. It just doesn’t talk to the firmware on the battery properly.

  I think battery monitoring must be a pretty common issue with Canons.

  If I use Canon batteries in my C300, the on screen monitoring and “fuel gauge” works fine. I have some non-Canon batteries though, and with some of them it takes a loooooong time for the fuel gauge to show up, and with one or two of them it doesn’t show up at all.

  Guess it’s just a Canon thing….
