Re: EX2F firmware upgrade problems

I believe the firmware upgrade did improve correction for pronounced barrel distortion at wide angle which was picked up in reviews of the camera and my upgraded EX2f did seem to improve with the update. It is pretty common now for firms being more intent on meeting release deadlines and relying on finishing the firmware later. This can backfire when a bug turns out to be physical or the only reviews are done using the 1.0 software as with the EX2f and the camera goes down as having a poor lens as many reviewers are not really aware it is all done in software now.

Why did you try to upgrade? I've never upgraded a camera's firmware ever and all my cameras work fine, including my EX2F.
