Sochi Olympics fast approaching: thus, photographers and sports agency with an EOS-1D X will be glad of such an update from Canon, before leaving in Russia February 7. 2.0.3 firmware concerns in particular the 61-point autofocus upscale reflex system. Already very powerful and complex enough, it evolves with the ability to set more finely. Another interesting element for action shots, it will be possible to go up to 1/8000s in ISO Auto mode. Here is the list of twelve changes, as published on the website of Canon France:
1. The performance of the autofocus in low light conditions has been improved during the execution of the focus before shooting in AI Servo AF. The improvement resulted from enhanced monitoring capacity of the first image in low light conditions.
2. The number of parameter settings for the triggering AF “AI Servo AF priority second image” function has been increased to allow for improved tracking AF in low light conditions or the maintenance of high rates of consistent images when shooting continuously.
3. The number of parameters for monitoring acceleration / deceleration in the AF configuration tool has been increased.
4. Exposure compensation can be made when using manual exposure and Auto ISO.
5. The limit of minimum shutter speed for Auto ISO was increased with shutter speeds up to 1/8000s.
6. A new function was added to maintain a constant exposure by changing the ISO settings or shutter speed in manual exposure mode if the aperture changes when zooming or changing objectives.
7. A new option has been added to the orientation linked AF point to allow the single AF point switch when you change the orientation, rather than two parameters point AF / AF area.
8. A new option has been added to allow you to continue to use the previously selected focus point manually as AF initial starting when switching to an automatic selection to 61 points.
9. A new customization exposure metering and AF control has been added for greater flexibility.
10. The number of possible commands to switch between One Shot AF to AI Servo AF using custom commands has been increased.
11. A function was added to allow reading and review only protected images.
12. A problem has been fixed in which the white balance can be disturbed by the time the shutter when the player is in the single shot and a flash (E-TTL) is used.

We do not know yet if the 5D Mark III, which ships same AF system – face detection excepted – will also be subject to such an update. To install, read the instructions on the Canon website.
Meanwhile, Nikon has recently announced the ongoing development of a D4S, without mentioning any feature or release date.
