Ratkaisu 1D Mark III:n tarkennusongelmiin

Canon 1D Mark III:n automaattitarkennuksen ongelmien korjaamiseksi tarvitaan hardware tason huoltotoimenpide. Kameran tarkennusongelmat eivät ilmeisesti kuitenkaan koske kaikkia Mark III kameroita vaan Canon julkistaa tämän kuun lopullaa lisätietoja aiheesta.

Rob Galbraith raportoi Canonin edustajan kommentteja aiheesta:

Q. What is the fix that Canon has developed?
A hardware fix. Specifically, a component in the camera called the sub-mirror must be adjusted. The sub-mirror - also called the secondary mirror - is a tiny mirror behind the main mirror that passes light down to the autofocus module in the base of the mirror box. The adjustment procedure may include the swapping of one or more parts that make up the sub-mirror mechanism, though the sub-mirror component itself will not be replaced.
