Canon has released firmware version 1. 1. 3 for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR. The latest firmware version is a relatively small update, bringing a bug fix that corrects an issue displaying the drive mode icon, as well as improving USB communication reliability with a function in EOS Utility 3 and increasing the maximum 'release cycles' number displayed in the 'Camera system information' menu.
The latest firmware is available to download for macOS and Windows via Canon's support website. The full change log is below.
Changes in the Firmware
Firmware Version 1. 1. 3 incorporates the following improvements to enhance functions.
Corrects a phenomenon in which the drive mode icon is not correctly displayed when using custom shooting modes (C1/C2/C3).
