Canon has released a firmware update for the EOS 7D Mark II. Firmware version 1.5 provides the following fixes:
- Improves AF accuracy when used in combination with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM lens or EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which, in very rare cases, the “Peripheral illumination correction” is applied inconsistently.
- Fixes a phenomenon in which, while performing an EF lens firmware update, the progress bar displayed on the LCD monitor may freeze at 100% even though the update has been completed.
- Fixes a processing error in relation to the leap second for the “Geotag information appended to image” and “Log data” GPS functions.
- Fixes a phenomenon, where at the time of shooting in very rare cases “Err 70” occurs, or the shutter does not release.

Explore the different moods, feeling and emotions you can elicit from a photo just by using this technique.

TIME will be livestreaming Sunday's lunar eclipse
TIME will be livestreaming Sunday's lunar eclipse
When the Eclipse Happens Worldwide
This information was copy pasted from http://time.com/4044307/supermoon-lunar-eclipse/
"Three decades have passed since the last time Earth was witness to the triple crown of lunar events — a full moon, a lunar eclipse, and a lunar perigee all at the same time — and now people in north America will be able to see a “supermoon eclipse” this weekend. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth comes between the full moon and the sun. Although completely in the Earth’s shadow, the moon still receives a bit of reddish sunlight. Unlike a solar eclipse, there’s no special equipment needed to view it. A supermoon is when the moon is in perigee, or the closest point to the Earth it will reach. Sunday’s moon will be about 14% larger than normal, according to NASA. There have only been five times since 1900 where the supermoon has coincided with a total lunar eclipse— and the next won’t happen for another 18 years. Begin looking to the moon around 8 p.m. EDT on Sunday Sept 27, with the total eclipse setting in around 10 p.m. But if there’s cloud cover or you’re unable to get to a clear patch of sky then a livestream will be on TIME.com, hosted by Slooh. The stream will be hosted by Paul Cox and Bob Berman."

A spectrum of lunar events will occur Sunday evening in an
event that won't happen for another 18 years. A lunar eclipse will coincide
with a supermoon on Sept. 27 at 9:07 p.m. EDT. As the moon will be in its
closest proximity to Earth, it will appear up to 14 percent larger. This
supermoon, also called a harvest moon due to its occurrence falling at the
beginning of the autumn season, will have an extra characteristic.
Known as a blood moon, the moon will pass behind behind the
Earth into its shadow, resulting in a red tint across its surface.
