Canon 40D Firmware Update
Posted Nov 22,2007

40d

Canon has posted a firmware update for its 10 Megapixel CMOS 40D digital SLR. A link with complete install instructions and a list of what's fixed in version 1.0.5 after the jump. 

From the Canon 40D 1.0.5 update:

Q: What has been changed in verson 1.0.5 of the firmware?

A: It includes the following improvements and fixes:

1. When playing back images just after recovering from Auto Power Off, the display now shows the last image played back. If the camera is automatically turned off while playing back images, the last image played back will now be shown if the power comes back on and playback operations are resumed.

2. During remote shooting, images are now displayed on the camera's LCD monitor right after they are taken. When using remote shooting with a CF card in the camera, when transferring images to the PC and CF card, the images taken will now be displayed on the camera's LCD monitor immediately after they are taken. For information on how to set the length of time the images are displayed after they are taken, please refer to the instruction manual.

3. Corrects a warning message in Korean that appears when updating the firmware.

4. Corrects errors in the Spanish menu screens. Corrects an error in the Spanish flash C.Fn:2-1.

5. Corrects a phenomenon that prevented printing with some print systems.

6. Corrects a rare phenomenon in which file numbers or image numbers were sometimes skipped.

I got the Canon 40D two weeks before my first trip to France in Oct 2007 and I am sooooo glad I finally decided to make the jump to digital. I still have to practise a lot of the camera's features, but the learning curve is fairly smooth and the images are spectacular! Highly recommend the camera!

Sending a picture in for yourshot.It says send the original.Does that mean shot "as" and no manipulation or with manipulation, such as crop,sharpen and minor ajustments.

John, the intent of the "as shot" request is to make sure submitters don't overwork their images. If you are comfortable with today’s software, then minor corrections like one you'd associate with darkroom work would be acceptable.
