Canon’s recently released a new Firmware for Canon EOS 60D and version 1.0.9 comes with the following corrections and modifications.

Fix #1. Modifies the name of the function named “Art Filters” to “Creative Filters” in the Japanese model.

Fix #2. Corrects a problem where the digital camera might function incorrectly whenever it is set to Quick Mode AF during Live View capturing instantly after taking a picture with the C.Fn II-1 Long exposure noise reduction setting set to [2: On] and a shutter speed setting of five seconds or more.

Fix #3. Corrects a problem where by the digital camera might function incorrectly after taking pictures in Live View mode, the remote switch on the EOS Utility screen is pressed to instantly start movie-shooting.

This problem happens only when the digital camera is hooked up to a computer and the Remote Live View feature of EOS Utility software is used.

Do you think you should take night shots when it’s dark? Wrong!

You should take night shots just BEFORE it gets dark while there still is some colors (typically a blueish color) in the sky. Night images taken with a pitch black sky is boring.

The best time for night shots is at dusk and dawn, not at night.

I took this night photograph of the Hong Kong skyline just before it got dark but there are still a hint of color in the sky. I was lucky this time to get the image sharp without a tripod or a Image Stabilization lens but I recommend a tripod with a remote release for best result.

The light is changing fast just before it gets dark so you have to be prepared and ready when it’s time to shoot. I probably waited a few minutes too long when I took the above photo of the Hong Kong skyline
