Canon 60D and 60Da Firmware Update – Changes done in the latest update
Firmware Version 1.1.1 incorporates the following fixes.
1. Fixes a phenomenon where the camera’s serial number that is displayed in the shooting information of the image does not display the correct serial number. *1)
2. Corrects errors in the Greek, Italian, and Portuguese menu screens.
*1) If the camera’s serial number is 2147483648 or higher and the camera firmware is Version 1.1.0 or earlier, the images captured with the camera will be affected by the phenomenon listed in 1. above.
This phenomenon only affects the EOS 60D, and does not affect the EOS 60Da. Both of these cameras are equipped with the same firmware.
To obtain the serial number correctly in the shooting information of images that are already captured using the old firmware, we are preparing updates for Digital Photo Professional and ZoomBrowser EX / ImageBrowser applications.
Once the software updates are ready, we will make an announcement on our Web site.
Firmware Version 1.1.1 is for cameras with Firmware Version 1.1.0. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1.1.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Few days ago Fuji released the 1.03 firmware update to reduce the white disc problem of fuji X10, dcresource.com just published the before and after images of fujifilm X10,
the white dic problem is not reduced and the images are exactly the same as before.
From DC-Resource
The results: exactly the same as before.
- The firmware upgrade did not reduce the problem
- The problem is not limited to EXR mode, as the firmware upgrade notes state
- Shooting RAW does not reduce the blooming
- I’m starting to think that this is a hardware issue that cannot be easily fixed
