I cant try it anymore (sold nx300 since I got nx30), someone should check remote App to see if it has any additional controls.

That is exactly what I am hoping for it is a much needed firmware update. I am also wondering why jump from 1.33 straight to 1.4.0 when this is normally only done when there are significant changes usually it would have been 1.33 ->1.34

Umm, dude, they did go from 1.33 to 1.34, I guess you missed it, lol. Then then went from 1.34 to 1.4. Something we haven't really talked about is this innocuous statement that they: "- Improved AF performance and color shading."  My guess is that they brought the firmware a lot more in line with with the NX30 firmware and that leaving off the extra app functionality was intentional, as the NX30 is still very new, so they want marketable differences, whereas marketing on improved AF is a bit more ephemeral unless you made a dramatic leap.  So, I think there was probably some major changes in this firmware, probably support for some new products as well, like perhaps the SEF-580.  Maybe not though, maybe that will come later.
