Canon releases new firmware version 1.3.3 for 5D Mark III DSLR
By UWPG News, January 29, 2015
Canon has released new firmware for the Canon 5D Mark III, the first update since October 30, 2013. Updating the firmware is certainly not necessary for your DSLR, but new versions do address certain bugs and other issues, so it can't hurt. If you use 3rd party programs like Magic Lantern then you want to make sure to update your firmware when recommended by that party.
Firmware version 1.3.3 for the 5D Mark III improves the Live View autofocus when using wide-angle lenses, which is of particular interest to underwater videographers who rely on autofocus. Note that wide-angle refers to rectinilear wide-angle lenses like the 17-40mm and 16-35, and does not refer to wide-angle underwater photography with fisheye lenses.
You can download the new firmware version 1.3.3 on the Canon Website.
