p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 5D3 firmware 1.2.3: experiences?


* PLEASE update this thread with your experiences with the 1.2.3 firmware *

I jumped up to FW 1.2.1 with both feet when it came out, and the issue of not firing the flash just absolutely drove me crazy me at receptions until I figured out what it was. I literally started replacing everything from wireless triggers to speedlites, until I got a handle on it being the firmware (and how to adjust to it).

Now that the new firmware is out to fix THAT issue, I am looking to hear anyone's experience with it so I know the "gotcha's" in the new firmware. I've already updated 1 body, but I am leaving the other in a known state for now. September and October were booked solid, but I've got a lull until the end of November and I'm hoping to get some feedback. I'd really like to update my second body since the misfires were so frustrating, but I don't want anything WORSE to happen and be stuck with 2 useless cameras.

thanks in advance for the feedback!

I'm still on the original version. Too busy. But will try in Dec/Jan.

ABC it's easy as 1.2.3....

I just got a new 5dmk3 on Monday. Woohoo!.

So, to see the new firmware out, it was great. I already have a 600 ex flash to go with it.

The firmware installed without any problems. I did hear about other people having issues when using a 3rd party battery

Thanks for the heads up. Will upgrade this weekend!

I had issue with my flash not going off and my Micro Adjustment settings wiped for one of my lens.
