Waaahnsinn, selbst Canon hört manchmal auf die Wünsche der Kunden und setzt sie in der Firmware um. Es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder.

Allein die direkte Auswahl des AF-Feldes per Multicontroller (einfach in Richtung des gewünschten Feldes drücken, Reset per Klick) macht die Bedienung um einiges Komfortabler. Hat aber auch lange genug gedauert, bis Canon das gecheckt hat.

Stimmten die Gerüchte doch, die besagten, das eine neue Firmware am 30.4. erscheinen soll.

Sonorman: wo finde ich Firmware updates für meine 40D? Habe bei Canon gesucht, aber nichts gefunden

Von den Gerüchten habe ich gar nichts mitbekommen.
Allerdings habe ich in den letzten Wochen die einschlägigen Foren auch nicht so genau verfolgt.

Ich bin jedenfalls total begeistert von der Umsetzung für die Wahl des AF-Feldes mit dem Multicontroller. Jetzt klappt das wirklich vollkommen intuitiv und flott.

Aktuelle Firmware-Updates werden hier gemeldet und verlinkt. @@

Mich hatte es gewundert, das Canon das nicht gleich anbot, hatte doch schon die 20D diese Möglichkeit.
Aber lieber später, als gar nicht.

ts-e
Ja, war schon komisch, dass sie das in der MKIII erst so umständlich gemacht haben.

Danke.
Werde zwar momentan nicht updaten, da ich am Weekend einen Foto- Auftrag habe! Sicher ist sicher!
