New firmware coming

The 4.0 firmware will be available in June and will include a boosted AF speed, improved face/eye-detection performance, and enhanced AF tracking and accuracy for all modes including the capture of movement. The IBIS and OIS will now work together to enable the optimum correction based on the amount of camera shake and frequency of the gyro sensors. Below are additional updates and improvements:

• The level of "clarity" can be set in the range from -5 to +5.
• The "tone curve" can be adjusted in the increment of 0.5 stop for both highlights and shadows.
• The "focus limiter" function is added to specify any focusing range. Choose the default focusing distance or select it from the specified range.
