From the Canon Digital Learning Center:

Based on feedback from large photo organizations, news photojournalists, and so on, Canon has delivered a significant firmware upgrade for the EOS-1D X Mark II camera. Firmware upgrade version 1.1 clearly targets professional users and organizations, but as you’ll see, some of these features may be useful to individual working pros or even serious photography enthusiasts. We’ll examine what’s new in this firmware upgrade in this article.

In a nutshell: what’s new and different?

This new upgrade (version 1.1) addresses specific issues that professional news and photojournalism organizations have brought to Canon’s attention — we understand that not all of these will be important in more ordinary, everyday use to individual photographers. That said, the changes and new features that this firmware adds to the EOS-1D X Mark II camera are the ability to:

  • Install up to 39 items of IPTC information into the camera, and to add data (or deliberately not apply it) to images you take
  • Add set-up information for up to 40 new Wi-Fi networks to a memory card, and load that data as a full set of possible Wi-Fi networks to select from for connection
  • Transfer only “protected” images via Wi-Fi
  • Retain GPS position data: Continue to apply last known GPS location information to images subsequently taken, even if GPS connection is lost (photographer went inside a building, etc.)
  • Change LCD color tone (four pre-defined settings), to either approximate display from other cameras you’re working with, or to shift color tone based on ambient lighting as the LCD monitor is being used

Keep in mind that the EOS-1D X Mark II differs from other Canon EOS models in that it not only permits network communication and transfer of images via Wi-Fi (using the optional WFT-E8A or WFT-E6A wireless file transmitters), but also via wired ethernet connection — there’s a dedicated ethernet port on the camera for this purpose. This allows similar network connectivity, but without some of the variables users can encounter on-location with Wi-Fi transmission. Firmware v. 1.1 doesn’t change this; we only want to remind users of it here.

Read the entire article on the Canon Digital Learning Center.

Note: The firmware is not yet availble for download on Canon USA's website.

Technically speaking, a new firmware for the Canon EF-S 55-250 IS STM appeard on Canon USA's website back in July (but we missed it). However, the firmware udpate may be more relevant than ever for the large number of people who likely took advantage of the crazy Black Friday refurb. deal on the lens (I'm included in that group). Then again, this updated firmware update seems to only improve AF performance when the lens is used with the EOS M3 via adapter.[Sean]

From Canon USA:

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Firmware v.1.0.3

Firmware Version 1.0.3 incorporates the following enhancement.

  • Improves the autofocus speed when the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is attached to the EOS M3..

*To mount the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM to the EOS M3, the mount adapter EF-EOS M is required.
*The enhancement in the autofocus speed only applies when the lens is used with the EOS M3.

Firmware Version 1.0.3 is for lenses with firmware Version 1.0.2. If the lens firmware is already Version 1.0.3, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Identification procedure
If the 3rd digit in the serial number of your lens is either 0, 1, or 2, then it is equipped with firmware Version 1.0.2 e.g.

xx0xxxxxxx, xx1xxxxxxx, xx2xxxxxxx

Lenses with serial numbers other than those listed above are equipped with firmware Version 1.0.3 or later.

Cautions:

  • To update the firmware of the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM, the EOS M3 and the mount adapter EF-EOS M are required.
  • If an extension tube is attached, the firmware update may not be carried out successfully, so please make sure to detach the extension tube before performing the firmware update.
  • For this firmware update to be effective, you need to update the firmware of the EOS M3 to the latest version (Version 1.0.1 or later).

Note: Canon doesn't mention it, but the lens firmware can also be upgraded via select DSLR bodies like the EOS 7D Mark II.
