    Hey, have you heard about “Photo SFXart Tricks” (do a Google search for it)? On their website you can watch a nice free video showing how to create brilliant pictures. It made it possible for Joe to shoot photographs which leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect when you take a look at them. It might help you too.

    Thanks for the video, it was really helpful! I hadn’t updated my 5D II since version 2.0.4 and was a little apprehensive. Thanks again.

    Hey there, are you familiar with “MagicSFXphoto” (just do a Google search for it…)? On their website you will find a nice free video showing how you can shoot brilliant photos. It helped Joe to shoot photographs which leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect whenever you look at them. I hope it will help you also…

    Do you have to update firmware sequentially? I have version 2.0.3 and I want to go to 2.1.1.  Is that ok to do?

    the firmware is on the camera. You can format the memory card after the firmware update is complete

    Is the firmware in the memory card or in the camera after the update process is complete?
