Changes in firmware:

The firmware (version 1.6.0) incorporates the following enhancements:
  1. Adds [Auto Power Off Temp.: Standard/High] to the menu for movie recording. When [High] is selected, the camera will not automatically turn off when the temperature of the camera body and card become high, which may allow for longer movie recording than before, depending on the shooting conditions. Note that the temperature of the bottom surface of the camera may increase at this time.
  2. Adds the ability to convert multiple HEIF images into multiple JPEG images.
  3. Enhances the performance of "Movie Digital IS". It stabilizes the image when taking selfies or walking shots using a wide-angle lens.
  4. Fixes minor issues.
Firmware Version 1.6.0 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.5.2. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.6.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
