With the Quick Control (Q) button pressed during image playback photographers will be able to select options for protect images, rotate images, rate images, resize images, highlight alert, AF point display and image jump. The GP-E2 unit arrived with the EOS 5D Mark III and this firmware update will enable the GPS unit to be used with the EOS 7D, via a cable connection, so that photographers can geo-tag images with latitude and longitude data in the EXIF fields. Note that the aspect ratio cannot be changed. JPEG L and M images can be resized and saved as separate JPEG M or S images. Within the camera’s image-recording menu with all JPEG images you will be able to resize the image (for image downsizing) and save it as a new image. The settings for in-camera RAW processing include White balance, Picture Style, High ISO speed noise reduction, Colour Space, and lens data corrections (Peripheral Illumination Correction, distortion correction and Chromatic Aberration Correction). This function can be used with full resolution RAW files, but not with M-RAW or S-RAW files. RAW images can be edited in-camera and options can be changed before saving the finished file as a ready-to-print JPEG or for sending wirelessly. The EOS 7D will allow for in-camera post-processing of images.

In the EOS 7D the maximum burst of RAW file frames was 15 â€“ with the firmware update this will be significantly increased so that the camera’s buffer will handle up to 25 RAW frames in a continuous burst. The 7D is already a very capable dSLR but the version 2.0 update surely adds a lot of new features and capabilities.Ĭheck out this comprehensive list of new features that will come with the update.
