Service Notice: EOS-1D X Firmware Updated, version 1.1.1

Thank you for using Canon products.

Phenomena
Firmware Version 1.1.1 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.0.6. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.1.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
* The firmware update takes approximately seven minutes.

When updating the firmware of your camera, please first go over the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware.

Affected Product
Firmware Version 1.1.1 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.
 

  1. Enables the center AF point to auto-focus when the camera is used with lens/extender combinations whose combined maximum aperture is f/8 (f/5.6 without the firmware update).
    * Please see the "Lenses and Usable AF points" section of the revised instruction manual for more details on the lens & camera combinations.
  2. Displays the viewfinder information (such as the AF frames, grid, etc.) in red during auto-focusing in AI Servo AF.
    * When shooting in dark environments during AI Servo AF, the AF points can be easily confirmed.
    * During AI Servo AF, the viewfinder will be lit intermittently, not continuously.
  3. Corrects a phenomenon in which the metering value of the AE sensor becomes incorrect and the captured images become pitch-black depending on the timing of lens attachment and/or detachment.
  4. Fixes a phenomenon in which Err 70 may occur during AEB shooting.
  5. Corrects errors in the Arabic menu.
  6. Fixes a phenomenon in which the firmware of the lenses cannot be updated normally.
Support
