Hey guys,
As the title goes, all my lenses (28,80,210,35-90) focus much faster after the upgrade, there's maybe a 50% increase in speed, which is most welcome, of course. Since this is not listed in the upgrade features, I was scratching my head wondering what might be going on; so I came up with only one logical explanation and was curious if you think that might be the cause: since my H4D-40 was one of the very first units ever produced (arrived on the 1st of March 2010, even before the official sales had started, it was one of the demo units), its body firmware was 2.2.2 (and not the 2.2.4 that the other H4s had, maybe a pre-production release??) and R350 for the back. I never bothered to upgrade until today - both the body and the back. Imagine my surprise when I turned the camera on and AF-ed. So do you think the body firmware upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.2.4 might be it? Has anyone else experienced the same? I'll kick myself if for all this time I've been using a slowed-down camera just because I was too lazy to upgrade the body's firmware....
