It’s a major upgrade, this Firmware Version 2.0 for the Panasonic Lumix LX5, and it’s downloadable now. Firmware 2.0 speeds up the LX5’s auto-focus at the wide end of the zoom range, adds a High ISO NR function and improves AWB performance in low light situations.
The new updated firmware also adds an Active mode to the image stabilizer during movie capture, expands the available My Colour modes with a Miniature Effect, and extends the maximum exposure time to 250 seconds.
