Good for trigger happy or someone who shoot sports.

The 2.0 Firmware update has finally been released just 2 days back, i updated it but sadly cannot find much use for myself personally. Anyone mind sharing how any of the new features will better enhance practical usage?

DigitalCamera said:On my dad's 7D, I realise when I'm choosing AF point selection (for eg switching from Zone AF to Single point AF) or switching AF point, I realise the entire viewfinder is kind of illuminated in red. The red tint goes away whenever I exit the AF selection. This is less pronounced in bright light and more pronounced in low light. I read online that when the camera is focusing the entire VF will briefly illuminate in red once the camera achieves focus. However, I've never read about anyone experiencing this when changing AF point. Even when C.Fn III-8 (VF illumination) is disabled, the red tint still appears when I change AF point. I don't remember experiencing this before he upgraded to v2.0.0, but it could be me failing to notice it previously. Does anyone experience this as well?
Yup, I did. I think it's a light spill. Whenever the focus points are illuminated in red, I notice that the entire viewfinder gets a very slight red illumination. Been there since I bought mine earlier this year (2nd hand) so I believe it's inherent of the construction of the camera rather than a software issue.
Edit: I must add that this issue is regardless of changing AF type, AF position, or getting focus lock. All will result in a slight red illumination over the entire viewfinder.
CR has just posted some very interesting specs for the Canon 7D Mark II:
- 24MP – an all new sensor with phase AF on chip and noticeably lower noise than the current 18MP.
- 1Dx/5D3 based AF system.
- 10 FPS.
- ISO 100-25600.
- High speed video, with still capture.
- Improved durability and sealing.
- Available this year.
Perhaps a little wishful thinking, but if these specs turn out to be true, the 7D will easily be the best crop camera in the market!

DigitalCamera said:Specs look very appealing, but I doubt it would be released this year, since they released a new firmware to keep the 7D relevant, so I don't suppose that the 7DM2 won't be released anytime soon :think:
Newbie requesting for help with Canon 7D's setting modes. Just got mine a few days ago and wasn't really sure of which mode or settings to use. Would like to know what kind of settings or modes most of you 7D savvy users use for portrait, landscape and also sports mode?
