With the Quick Control (Q) button pressed during image playback photographers will be able to select options for protect images, rotate images, rate images, resize images, highlight alert, AF point display and image jump.
The GP-E2 unit arrived with the EOS 5D Mark III and this firmware update will enable the GPS unit to be used with the EOS 7D, via a cable connection, so that photographers can geo-tag images with latitude and longitude data in the EXIF fields. Note that the aspect ratio cannot be changed. Within the camera’s image-recording menu with all JPEG images you will be able to resize the image (for image downsizing) and save it as a new image.
During movie recording noise from the aperture is reduced and the camera also has an automatic wind cut filter. MANUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR AUDIO RECORDING LEVELSĭuring EOS Movie shooting you will be able to manually adjust the audio recording levels to one of 64 levels, whilst the sound volume during playback can be set to one of 11 levels.
Within the EOS 7D’s shooting menu photographers will have the ability to set a maximum ISO speed for ISO Auto, within the ISO range of 400-6400, so that you can minimise the amount of noise in your images.
The ratings are XMP compliant and Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software has been updated to reflect this. The ratings can be used to sort images in applications such as Adobe Elements, Adobe Bridge and Apple Aperture. Like other Canon EOS DSLRs, such as the EOS 60D, EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III, the EOS 7D will be able to rate images from 1 to 5 stars in-camera for quicker and easier sorting of images within your workflow. The settings for in-camera RAW processing include White balance, Picture Style, High ISO speed noise reduction, Colour Space, and lens data corrections (Peripheral Illumination Correction, distortion correction and Chromatic Aberration Correction).
This function can be used with full resolution RAW files, but not with M-RAW or S-RAW files. RAW images can be edited in-camera and options can be changed before saving the finished file as a ready-to-print JPEG or for sending wirelessly. The EOS 7D will allow for in-camera post-processing of images. In the EOS 7D the maximum burst of RAW file frames was 15 – with the firmware update this will be significantly increased so that the camera’s buffer will handle up to 26 RAW frames in a continuous burst. The new EOS 7D Firmware Version 2 update will enhance the camera with the following additional features: We posted about this firmware back in April.Ĭanon has announced an upcoming firmware update, 7D Firmware Version 2, for the 18 Megapixel EOS 7D that includes a raft of new features to further enhance the capabilities of Canon’s flagship APS-C format DSLR. I’m not sure when the official announcement will be, but the information below is an official Canon release that briefly appeared on a Canon CPN site. We may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. I'm not sure if this actually works that way or not (it is one of those things that unless you have some pretty decent test equipment, it becomes very difficult to measure).This site contains affiliate links to products and services. The theory being that when the buffer does get full, it takes longer for the camera to clear it out and be ready for shooting again than it does if the buffer never gets completely full. So instead of "shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot" you would do "shoot, shoot, shoot, slight pause, shoot, shoot, shoot". I've read in a couple places that it is actually somewhat easy to get a bit more mileage out of a max burst by releasing the trigger every so often instead of holding it down steady the whole time. This improvement is helping to fix the buffer full issue by clearing the buffer faster, thus allowing more consecutive frames at a time. The 7D already has one of the highest FPS on the market today at 8 FPS. this improvement is already being done to the buffer. I wonder if there will be any improvements made on the buffer as well by the time the update releases in August.I'm confused what you mean here. No matter what your camera's burst rate is, if you shoot continuously and fill the buffer though, the camera will either slow down dramatically or stop altogether, and that damn "card busy" light will begin to blink. Yes, but also for anyone who shoots on continuous.
