• Matched the rotation of the dial on the rear of the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 and the movement direction of the AF target.
• Increased the number of storable still pictures by improving the battery check when the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 is attached.
• Focusing now stops immediately when the AF start button (AEL/AFL or Fn button) is released.
