#9 is the only change between 1.0.7.1 and 1.0.8.1
Firmware Version 1.0.8.1 incorporates the following enhancements and fixes:
1. Adds the following size option to the Focus Guide function:
-Normal/Large
2. Enables the display of Markers during playback.
3. Enables the following functions to be assigned as options to the Select Dial:
-Iris
-Shutter
-ISO/Gain
-White Balance Mode
-White Balance Mode (K)
-White Balance Mode (CC)
-Select Subject
4. Enables the Shutter Speed option to be assigned to the Top Grip control dial, the Top control dial, and Control Ring.
5. Enables the AF frame position to be reset by pushing the Joystick. (Video Mode)
6. Adds the following thickness option to the Continuous AF frame:
-Normal/Slightly Thick/Thick.
7. Adds supports for the lens correction function that is included with EOS VR Utility Version 1.4 or later.
8. Fixes minor issues.
9. Fixed an issue in which, when quickly switching from Video mode to Photo mode without stopping at with specific lenses attached, the LCD monitor may go black for approx. 30 seconds, during which the camera becomes unresponsive.
* 1~8 are the changes in Version 1.0.7.1, and 9 is the addition in version 1.0.8.1
I have not experienced the behavior. I just returned from holiday where I used the camera for 14 days straight. I do frequently switch between modes, often without pausing at off. I have the sensor set to clean at power off. The switch between modes has been super speedy since 1.0.4.1 (ultimately) 1.0.5.1 since 1.0.4.1 had the pixel shift bug and was pulled. 1.0.5.1 was released 7 days later.
For this one, Canon must have found the issue and decided correction was warranted.
1.0.7.1 has been great. I really like the Large Focus Guide and being able to assign ISO to the quick control dial in Cinema OS. I'll probably upgrade to 1.0.8.1 this weekend for good measure.
