Canon Issues Firmware for Affected G10 Cameras

Canon Powershot G10 Digital Camera

Canon has issued Firmware 1.0.2.0 for the Powershot G10 camera, correcting an issue where if RAW images are captured by continuous shooting under the ISO 1600 setting, abnormal data is recorded and a magenta cast appears in the second and subsequent RAW images. This phenomenon also occurs in the second and subsequent recorded RAW images captured by single shooting, but only if the LCD monitor display mode is set to the OFF position.

This phenomenon cannot be confirmed when images are played back on the camera’s LCD monitor. It can only be confirmed if image processing software (such as the Digital Photo Professional software bundled with the product) is used to develop RAW images on a PC.

The affected G10 units are those whose fifth digit from the left is 0 or 1.
