New official Panasonic Firmware update, has anyone updated?

There is an official firmware update available, since May 10, 2010, on the Panasonic site, here:

http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index.html

Has anyone tried this, and are there any significant differences?

I'll be doing the update shortly, but want to know if others are updating as well.

Cool, I'm going to try it out...since I only use micro-4/3 lenses now. Might be interesting to see what it does to some of them! Thanks! (If my camera magically gets video-AFS and 24mbps I'll send Panny my first born. lol)

Thanks!

Heavy on the 'magical'...

But I was unable to set this up on my camera, as the Wife and Daughter conspired to eliminate any 'free' time I thought I might have this weekend.

I only have the stock mu-4/3 lens so I don't know if this will change anything I'd be seeing anyway, but we can always hope that there are undocumented surprises...

Like locking the focus for video, upping the bitrate to 200Gb (just need the liquid nitrogen cooled enclosure...), and makes great cheese sandwiches, cure world
hunger... ok, perhaps not all world hunger, just in certain locations...
 
I updated the firmware without a problem. So far I haven't seen any difference in using the kit lens and 20mm pancake lens.
