Unfortunately mostly for bug fixes, no new features or exposure tools.

Kinda what I expected. Not stoked.

4. Bug fixed
In XAVC HD S&Q mode on 51-60FPS, occasionally dropped frame problem occurred. We fixed this on ONLY 60FPS
When you use S&Q function, please avoid to select 51-59FPS in this version. We will fix it completely on next firmware.

I found this bug the day after I got my camera, and told them. To clarify, I only had it happen after jumping in and out of S&Q mode about 2-3 times. Shot plenty of 60fps material without issue.

4. Other operational restrictions
4.1 Display update rate
Update rate of time data and audio level meter on the sub display panel gets slower when displaying MENU or audio status window. However peak hold function displays maximum level correctly.

I have a feeling this is why meters are going to take forever. That menu software just wasn't written to do fast framerates needed for waveform/histogram/falsecolor. I really hope I'm wrong on this.
