Canon Releases New Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware: Version 1.1.0 Adds Manual Exposure

Fulfilling the demands and dreams of oh so many EOS 5D Mark II owners, Canon has now released the version 1.1.0 firmware update that addresses the following:

• Includes a function to enable the manual exposure setting when shooting movies.
• Disables the function of the depth-of-field preview button when images are played
  back or when the menu screen is displayed on the LCD panel.
• Fixes a phenomenon where the peripheral illumination of images cannot be
  properly corrected, even if the images were captured with the lens peripheral
  illumination correction function set to Enable. *Digital Photo Professional
  software version 3.6.1 or later (for Windows and Macintosh) can be used to
  automatically correct the peripheral illumination of RAW and JPEG images
  that were captured in the Peripheral illumination correction setting with cameras
  that have Firmware Version 1.0.7 or earlier.
• Fixes the algorithms of the Auto Lighting Optimizer function when Custom
  Function C.Fn II-3 Highlight tone priority is enabled.
• Fixes incorrect indications on the Arabic, Romanian, Spanish, and
  Ukrainian menu screens.
• Changes the battery information displayed on the camera when using the
  optional Battery Grip BG-E6.

This one’s a big one, if you own the 5D2, you’ll be wanting to grab it straight away, which you can do via Canon’s website here.
