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.

The next step is to do a little research, figure out what that means, and what you should do about it. Congratulations, this is where you are right now!

Canon made big news today with the announcement of the upcoming release of the Canon T5i, the next in the series of one of the world’s most popular DSLRs.
