Canon has released a firmware update for the EOS 5D Mark II camera. Firmware Version 1.2.4 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.
Supports the WFT-E4 II wireless file transmitter that was released in December 2009.
Corrects a phenomenon in which visible noise may appear in images taken by continuous Bulb shooting.
Firmware Version 1.2.4 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.1.0. If the camera’s firmware is already version 1.2.4, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
In addition, after the firmware is updated, if the WFT-E4 or WFT-E4 II wireless file transmitter is used with the camera, the indications that appear under [Communication mode] on the [WFT settings] menu are changed as follows:
FTP -> FTP trans
PTP(PC) -> EOSUtility
HTTP -> WFTserver
HTTP account -> WFT account
If you are setting the WFT-E2 II by using a computer, please download and use the dedicated WFT Utility application.
