Panasonic AW-UE80 Camera Firmware 1.66

Changes:

1) Auto tracking function has been added.
1.1) Setting menus Auto Tracking Mode: On/Off
1.2) Setting menus Angle: Upper Body/Full Body/Off ,and others
1.3) Web screen: You can set the mask area, etc.
2) A new Digest authentication mode has been added "Wait time mode". When using a Panasonic controller (AW-RP150, AW-RP60), set [Wait time mode] to [Mode2] when using digest authentication.
[Mode1] (Initial value) This is the setting recommended if security is to be prioritized.
[Mode2] The wait time for re-entry is shorter. This is the setting recommended if operability is to be prioritized.
3) In Ubuntu environment, NDI|HX2 distribution is now available
4) Expansion of the Control command function
4.1) The control commands to specify P/T speed and acceleration in detail have been added.
4.2) Supports the added new models.
5) Even though the "limiters" function is used to set the P/T movement ranges, certain extremely rare operations may be caused the camera to move beyond P/T movement ranges. This problem has been fixed.
6) If the power is turned on and the camera is not operated for a long period of time, the next time the zoom is operated, the focus may be lost. This problem has been fixed by improving the zoom lens drive control process.

About Digital Camera Updates:

Updating to a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your camera can improve the device's overall performance and stability, resolve various issues, and add support for newly developed features or enhance existing ones.

On the other hand, downgrading the camera's firmware can recover its functionality in the unlikely event the currently installed version is faulty or the device's performance dropped after an upgrade. However, bear in mind that applying an earlier build might not always be possible.

It is recommended that changing the camera's firmware be performed when the new release resolves an issue that your device has been encountering, or adds a new feature (or enhances an existing one) that could prove useful for you.

This process isn't intended to be destructive, but still, it's best to save all your personal data and configurations before applying a different firmware. Moreover, make sure that the battery is fully charged and don't use the camera's buttons while the installation is in progress.

When it comes to the update method, usually, you must copy the firmware file onto a compatible memory card, insert it into the camera, and browse from the menu to the device's update section.

However, each device has various ways to enter the update mode and particular steps that should be taken for a successful upgrade, therefore make sure you read the product's installation guide.

That being said, if you consider that this firmware improves your device in any way, then hit the download button and get the desired version; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss the update that will boost your camera's performance.
