R5 Firmware Skip

winsie — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 13:40:32 GMT

I have situation with one of my R5s where I mistakenly skipped more that 1 version of firmware. Unfortunately I installed 1.6.0 over 1.3.1. and immediately noticed that my Movie Rec Quality was missing 4K/FHD options until I enabled Movie Cropping. It was mentioned in another thread that current FW contains previous versions... but does 1.6.0 really include 1.5.2, 1.5.0 and 1.4.0 code changes? If not, do I need to roll back my FW to 1.3.1 and start all over again?

Unless it would be outlined in the firmware notes/instructions, all firmware should strictly be cumulative. Thus there's no need to roll back firmware (which is typically not possible to do anyway).

Ricky,

Thanks for your quick response. That's re-assuring.
