  • Enhanced security during FTPS connection.
  • Fixed a phenomenon that could occur only under certain conditions, where images would not be displayed properly on the viewfinder or monitor, and camera operations would become inoperable (Error 70 may be displayed).

  • Corrected a phenomenon where error 70 may occur when shooting in A+ mode or AI Focus AF.
