EOS 7D Service Notice

[drg]

Canon has release a Product Advisory for the 7D regarding traces of images overlapping or appearing in subsequent frames in continuous shooting.

A pending firmware update is being explored to fix this according to the note from Canon.

See Canon notice at:

Looks like they may have pushed the sensors framing rate a little to close to the edge of the recycle time!

Thanks for posting. I'm writing a short article about it right now. Since I am a 7D user, I've got a little insight

If you're implying that maybe I saw it and pretended otherwise, that would be wrong.

Thanks for posting the link. I can see why I wouldn't have noticed the problem now that I've seen it. If it's that hard to see even with a plain blue sky as the background, well, I'm not sure how anyone caught it. However, it is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed and I hope there's a fix for it soon.

Please add your link as a comment at the end of my article. That's the best place for it.

Thanks-

Oh boy. What's wrong with people these days? Could you have simply said: "Yes, I sure have" or "Ooops, I've missed that one." Why do people become so suspicious of everything these days, eh?

No, I was not implying that you were pretending anything. Yes, I'm a bit suprised that you did not know about that thread or nobody had told you about it as I assumed you likely would have spent time on the net doing some digging since you use a 7D and you're a web guy. Apparently, you had not and my assumption was wrong.

I can see why I wouldn't have noticed the problem now that I've seen it. If it's that hard to see even with a plain blue sky as the background, well, I'm not sure how anyone caught it.

Personally, I think the problem was probably discovered when they were processing their images, adjusting brightness, contrast, etc. and then noticed something strange.

AgingEyes, it did come off to me a bit sarcastic so I understand why John took it that way.

Well, I guess it goes both ways. You could have just posted the link. I apologize for misunderstanding your meaning. And if you haven't yet, please do post that link in the article comments. I would like it to be included and I think it would be better if you posted it, since you're the one who found it

Guess it's the problem of written communication then.

Actually, I didn't know there was a "comment" section below your article and so I posted here.

I apologize for misunderstanding your meaning.

I probably should have worded my response better. Sorry for the trouble.

And if you haven't yet, please do post that link in the article comments. I would like it to be included and I think it would be better if you posted it, since you're the one who found it

Done. Hope it works.

So true, context can be lost sometimes without the tone of a spoken word or gesture of body language.
