Latest firmware for 1D Mark III

[will king]

Does anyone know what's the latest firmware for the 1D Mark III? I think it's

1.1 but I'm not positive.

According to this: <a href="

http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-8740-9068-9141">Galbraith</a> they are shipping with 1.1.0, with the mirror fixed, dated November 1.<br><br>

"Westfall also notes that fixed EOS-1D Mark III bodies that Canon USA is receiving from the factory have firmware v1.1.0 loaded (the same as has been installed in shipping cameras for some time), and that while Canon is always evaluating the possibility of new firmware, they are not announcing a firmware update for the EOS-1D Mark III at this time."

Cool. Got mine today with 1.1. It also had a blue dot sticker on the box that is supposed to mean that it has the fix.

There was a v1.1.1, but it hasn't been released to the public (and by all accounts won't be, in it's present form)

I think (?) the trial firmware (1.1.1) was an attempt at a software fix for the focus issue and it was not successful - the mirror fix is now the approved solution - the Galbraith site has all the details.

Yes. 1.1.1 was actually several versions with different parameters tweaked - never made it out of beta.
