| Canon EOS 5D Mark III |
The latest firmware
update to the Canon 5D MK III has just been released and promises to further
improve this awesome DSLR. This is what
Canon have to say about the latest update -
“The
upgrade, which was first announced in October 2012, enables the use of the
HDMI output functionality for more efficient video editing and monitoring
workflows by professionals in the fields of cinema and TV production. With HDMI
output, users can record HD uncompressed video data (YCbCr 4:2:2, 8 bit) to an
external recorder via the camera’s HDMI terminal, supporting minimal image
degradation during video data editing for greater onsite efficiency during
motion picture and video productions. Additionally, video can also be displayed
on an external monitor while being captured, for real-time on-site monitoring
for HD video during shoots.
To
further improve functionality, the upgrade improves the AF system with centre
AF point now enabled at f/8 supporting the needs of photographers to achieve
more from their camera when using fast super-telephoto lenses with extenders.
Drastically increasing the shooting
range, version 1.2.1 now makes it possible to use an EF600 f/4 lens and
two-times extender to achieve a massive 1200mm focal length with precise AF
performance. This will benefit sport and nature photographers who shoot over
long distances. This
upgrade also increases the range of lens options with full AF capabilities,
including the EF400mm f/5.6 and the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS with 1.4x
extenders, for zoom ranges up to 560mm.“
The
short version being that this update
makes possible the use of the HDMI output for uncompressed video output
and improving auto focus performance at smaller apertures i.e. f/8.
