Firmware 1.04 for Canon EOS 7D Mark II avalaible for download (fixes AF issues)

A new firmware update for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II is available by Canon. Firmware 1.04 can be downloaded from Canon Asia (Windows | Mac OS X). What has changed:

• Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera’s AF function may not operate properly at a focal length of approximately 100mm when used with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens.
• Fixes a phenomenon in which, in rare instances, the reduction of the flicker effect cannot be achieved when in AI servo AF mode, despite the “Anti-flicker shoot” function being set to “Enable”.
• Fixes a phenomenon in which the Picture Style settings may not be applied to the captured image when the camera is set to custom shooting mode C1, C2 or C3.
• Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, the first still image captured in live view mode may not record the correct date and time.
• Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, image noise may appear in JPEG images when brightness or contrast is corrected by the Auto Lighting Optimizer function.

Don’t be worried because you are downloading the firmware from Canon Asia instead of Canon US or EU – it is the same piece of software.
