Canon Releases Firmware Update Version 1.0.2.0 for EOS D30

Canon today has posted the EOS D30 firmware version 1.0.2.0 update which solves an LCD monitor display problem that occasionally occurs when an extremely detailed subject is photographed and one or more of the following camera operations are executed:

1. Rotating the image on the LCD monitor;
2. Using the Image Protect function;
3. Tagging the image with DPOF instructions. Under these conditions, a "?" symbol may appear in the LCD monitor instead of the normal image display.

In all cases, the actual image data is undamaged and remains completely usable when downloaded to a compatible personal computer.

Firmware Version 1.0.2.0 has already been installed by the factory in EOS D30 cameras starting with serial number xxx800000. Most EOS D30 cameras with a serial number prior to xxx800000 have not been updated. A small paper sheet confirming the update will be inserted in the display box to identify modified cameras.
