    EOS 7D Firmware Update Version 1.2.1

    Firmware Version 1.2.1 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.

    1. Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed and the timing of automatic shut down of the camera due to a rise in internal temperature during Live View or EOS Movie functions.

    2. Optimizes program shift when the ISO setting of the camera is set to AUTO.

    3. Corrects a misspelling in the French-language menu.

    4. Corrects a phenomenon in which vertical magenta-colored banding appears in still images taken in movie-shooting mode.

    (This only occurs when in Manual exposure mode and when the ISO speed is set to “H”. Note that this phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.0)

    Firmware Version 1.2.1 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.2.0. If the camera’s firmware is already version 1.2.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

    Note that cameras with firmware Version 1.2.1, 1.2.0 cannot be downgraded to a previous firmware version (such as Version 1.1.0).

    Thanks,

    Anyone know if this update is also valid for the 550D/T2i [since they share so many features].

    And if so, does it improve the overheating problem in any way?

    Thanks,

    W.

    No firmware updates are available for this product. (As of 05/05/2010)

    Firmware is usually camera (hardware) specific. Please note: even though there are similarities, the 550D/T2i is NOT a 7D. If you still insist, your best bet is to call the manufacturer before applying this firmware upgrade to your camera.
