For owners of Canon’s high end 5D Mark III camera: Canon has released EOS 5D Mark III Firmware version 1.2.1. This version, released earlier this month, adds a number of new features.

Canon has also improved the speed of focus acquisition when using a Speedlight with an AF-beam, and they’ve tuned up a number of features for interaction with the WFT-E7 Wireless File Transmitter.  The complete list of updates can be found at the bottom of this blog.
