Title: Anyone test the new Aptus 12 / AFi-ii 12 Firmware?
Post by: EricWHiss on January 05, 2012, 05:49:02 pm: Looks like the latest Leaf and Capture One updates install new firmware. What's it do and anyone test?

Post by: jeanlucco on January 06, 2012, 07:46:36 am: Now the fun starts! Installed 6.3.3, connected my AFi, computer started to update the firmware and... error after 5 minutes. Shut down all, reboot PC and succeeded to start a new tethered session. All seems working as previous. However, no way that C1 proposed me to update the firmware. I have the 5.041 on the back, will try to update C1 on my Lapetop and see if the firmware can be updated from there.
Any advice/tips are more than welcome. Cheers. Jean-Luc By the way, i put a brand new fully charged battery on my Leaf before starting the process.

Post by: jeanlucco on January 06, 2012, 09:12:08 am: Hi Neil, good point. This is a good excuse to borrow my wife's IMac, install the latest LC and try to see if the firmware will be updated. Just tried on my lapetop without success, at least I can still shoot after the message error.

Post by: EricWHiss on January 06, 2012, 10:36:09 am: Maybe its just for the AFi-ii 12? The C1 6.3.3 update installed the firmware V. 5.41 on my AFi-ii 12
Oddly when the files are viewed in LC the show as having firmware v.5.041 not 5.41

I don't see any difference - if anything the files look noisier.

You can use this article (http://www.phaseone.com/en/search/article.aspx?articleid=2312&languageid=1) to see the latest firmware for the different backs. The table gets updated regularly

Thanks, but is there also a page that explains what the new firmware changes/fixes/unfixes?

Post by: jsiva on January 06, 2012, 05:20:41 pm: If you are referring to the FW that was released with LC11.5.3, then I have had it installed on my Aptus II 12 for a few weeks and it has been fine.
