Canon post EOS-D30 v1.0.2.0 firmware
Canon
Japan has just posted a firmware update for EOS-D30 digital SLR's with
a serial number between xxx200001 and xxx799999. This firmware (v1.0.2.0)
will already be loaded on EOS-D30's with a serial number greater than
xxx800000 (at the factory). This update solves a problem which occurs
occasionally when rotating or tagging (protect / print) an image on the
LCD the playback image may be replaced by a '?' (question mark). I'll
be honest and say I've never seen this problem myself. There are no other
fixes listed in this update.
This from the Canon
Japan BeBit page:
What's new?
The EOS D30 Firmware Version 1.0.2.0 solves an LCD monitor display
problem that occasionally occurs when an extremely detailed subject
is photographed and one or more of the following camera operationsare
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 beenupdated.
A small paper sheet confirming the update will be inserted in the display
box to identify modified cameras.
How do I update the EOS D30's firmware?
Two methods of firmware updating are provided.
- Download a firmware file from this web site and conduct the updating
as shown in the updating procedure.
- Bring in the camera to a Canon Service Center and have the firmware
updated by the center
If you choose the latter method, contact a Canon Service Center listed
on the back of the Camera User's Guide enclosed with the camera.

Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
