• It allows the "Screenshot" and "False color" functions to be assigned to "Custom button functions".
• It changes the specification so that the countdown before a shot in self-timer mode (2 seconds and 10 seconds), and the exposure time for long exposures (bulb shooting and exposures of 1 second or longer) are displayed on screen.
• It adds a function available in STILL mode where information from the attached lens (focal length and shooting distance) can be displayed on screen.
• It adds a "Clip Numbering" function in CINE mode that allows users to change the clip numbering of the "File name / Number" in the "SYSTEM" menu.
