From Dpreview:

In the interests of better customer support, Canon has developed new Version 1.0.9 firmware for the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR camera. This firmware update incorporates the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improves the look of images when enlarged on the LCD monitor
    Applies a slightly stronger sharpness setting to the LCD monitor when images are enlarged.
  • Improves the consistency of AI Servo AF under certain conditions
    Reduces the tendency of the camera to autofocus on high-contrast backgrounds when shooting in conditions where AF detection is difficult, such as when the main subject is not completely covered by the AF frames or if the main subject’s contrast is low.
  • Provides countermeasures for Main Dial response errors (Main, Quick Control, Vertical-grip Main)
    Fixes a rare response error in the Main Dials in which they either did not respond when rotated or would change several clicks’ worth even if only clicked once.
  • Corrects errors in the Italian and Simplified Chinese menu screens.
