The main changes are for the S5Ii/x models. The S1 updates are minor.

@Richard Wong has put up some info on YouTube:



Train detection mode has arrived for the S5II - w00t!

Ha ha! I actually received a YouTube alert from your video on my phone!. That's how I found out.

Brilliant news, hybrid zoom with 70-300 and added planes/trains.

Crop zoom also sounds good, like an adjustable teleconverter that you pay for in MP as with the hybrid zoom. Should be good with Sigma 500 f5.6.

Camera control with Lumix Lab also, hopefully I can delete LumixSync app.

They provided everything expected for S5ii in my view.

No other brands do firmware updates like Lumix do, these are big feature add ons.

First I've heard, but then I'm at work at the moment. Will this work with the 1st-gen S5, perchance?

I would love to know what "Improved operational stability" in the firmware update for the 24-105mm lens actually means!
