Canon Releases New Firmware Updates for Most Canon Cameras (Fix Lens Correction Profile Bug)

Canon EOS 6D

Canon today has released a series firmware updates for most Canon DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras to fix lens correction profile bug.

Corrects a phenomenon in which when using the camera with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens, even if lens aberration correction is set to “Enable”, correction will not be applied.

Note that the EOS 6D’s updated firmware does not include correction for the [incompatible] EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.
