  • Enable autofocus with Dual Pixel CMOS AF.
  • Added support for "Dual Pixel Focus Guide" feature.
2. The default setting for [Custom Display 2] > [Resolution/Color Sampling] has been set to ON.

Caution:
  • Firmware version 1.1.3.1.00 is for updating Cinema EOS C300 Mark II cameras running firmware version 1.0.0.1.00 - 1.1.2.1.00. If your camera's firmware is already version 1.1.3.1.00, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Once the camera is updated to the latest version, it cannot be restored to a previous version.
  • Please note that after updating the camera to Firmware Version 1.0.6.1.00 or later, if you wish to continue using CFast (VPG130) cards that were used before the firmware update, you will need to format the CFast cards with the camera. After the firmware update, and before formatting the CFast cards with the camera, make sure to back up the clips saved to the CFast cards.
Preparations for a firmware update:
  • You cannot perform the firmware update using CFast 2.0 cards. Please use an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card that is 512MB or greater to perform the firmware update. After the firmware update has been performed, the camera's menu and custom picture settings will be reset. It is recommended that, prior to starting the firmware update operations, users save their menu and custom picture settings as settings data to an SD card, separate from the one that will be used to carry out the update. This saved data can be loaded into the camera and the settings can be changed after the update has been completed. For further information on this, please refer to the section in the unit's Instruction Manual titled "Saving and Loading Camera Settings."
  • The downloaded folder contains the firmware (file name: VLB4.FIM / file size: 43,974,688 bytes), and instructions on the firmware update procedures (a PDF file in five languages: Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Simplified Chinese). Prior to starting the firmware update operations, please be sure to carefully review and confirm your understanding of these instructions.
The following items are required to perform this firmware update:
  1. An EOS C300 Mark II or EOS C300 Mark II PL Digital Cinema Camera
  2. A computer (OS requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7 - 10.15)
  3. SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card with a capacity of 512MB or more (commercially available)
  4. An SD card reader/writer (commercially available) or an SD card slot built into the computer
  5. A fully charged battery pack for the camera
