Originally posted by Quicksand This is kind of a sort of a weird bug to be showing up this late in a product's lifespan. What code were they touching around the screen backlight? And why?
There is a change in the way the info button turns the screen off. So some code was changed. When the top screen is lit up by half button press, the backlight on the back screen is illuminated.
There are pretty substantial changes in the AF logic both pdaf and movie mode. I don't think they are tweaks, some behaviors are new. So there has been quite a bit of mucking around. From what someone reliable said there are other new features yet to come via firmware upgrades.
Why this slipped by I have no idea.
