K-3 Firmware Update 1.10 Released

pederd · 08-03-2014, 12:46 AM

Is there any one else that has noticed that the auto iso+flash is not working as is did in previous fw versions?
With previous versions, when flash was used, the camera always adjusted the iso to available flash power, e.g. lowered the iso number if flash was used vs not used. In the new version the camera always use the same iso regardless if flash is used or not. E.g. the sceene demands iso 1600 without flash. You raise the flash and the camera still use iso 1600 and decrease flash power instead = noisy pictures.
