Naffing firmware upgrade
exits stage left head hung low in shame as not doing the firmware upgrade before posting thread and wasting everyones time
Moral to this tale
1) Check for firmware upgrade
2) Install firmware
Still anyone with an old 350D with either
1.0.1 or 1.0.2 firmware you can get the latest upgrade
version 1.0.3 from the link below.
