New Firmware: 5D Mark III

Canon released an unexpected firmware today (last time they told us 4 months in advance, lol), and one of the things fixed is a biggie. THe firmware can be downloaded from here

The list of bugs fixed are: 


1. Fixes a phenomenon in which the flash may not fire depending on the timing of when the shutter button is pressed.
2. Fixes a phenomenon in which the AF microadjustment value may change.*
3. Fixes a phenomenon in which the LCD monitor may show a line of false color along boundaries of high contrast.
4. Fixes a phenomenon in which the histogram of a LiveView image is incorrectly displayed when an HDMI cable is connected.
5. Enables the brightness of the camera's LCD monitor to be adjusted even when an HDMI cable is connected.

* The phenomenon listed in 2 was addressed with Firmware Version
1.2.1, and has been further improved with Firmware Version 1.2.3.
