Canon has upgraded the firmware for its EOS-1D Mark III and EOS-1Ds Mark III digital SLRs. According to the company, the new firmware makes the following improvements in both cameras:

• Direct selection of AF points by the multi-controller is added to C.Fn III-9.

• Alternate access to exposure compensation is added to C.Fn IV-3.

• Improved stability of AF accuracy in AI servo AF when shooting extremely low-contrast subjects.
