Firmware v1.3 發佈不久,v2.0 又再推出了,今次一口氣加了 13 項修正,功能加強了不少,勢與一批新貴 Olympus E-P1 ,同門師弟 GF-1 以及勁敵 GRD III 鬥個死活。

13 項修正中,有幾項是我有所期待的:

1. 改善白平衡
LX 更新 Firmware 一開始就已經著手改善白平衡,其實去到 v1.3 已經好滿意,今次持續改善,令人有所期待。

2. 提昇 Auto Focus 速度
能提昇Auto Focus 的速度,對喜歡街拍/Snapshot 的人十分有幫助。

5. 場景模式加入「高動態」模式
高動態 High Dynamic模式,是一項模仿 HDR 合成相片的功能,場景模式之中我終於不只有「針孔」可以選擇喇。至於「什麼是 HDR?」請在網上搜尋資料。

8. 曝光補償±3EV
還是要去到 ±3EV,才算得上是「半專業級」相機,±3EV 亦可以令 HDR 重現更多細節。

最最最重要一點就是 ----- 終於可以重用副廠電了


韌體我已經更新了,要找個時間出去試試新功能。
