Can I skip previous firmware updates and just go to the latest?

When updating camera firmware, if there are multiple updates available, is it okay to immediately update to the latest firmware version, or is it best to update with each incremental version until reaching the latest version?

Thanks.

Yes, it’s okay to only install the latest version.  The updates are cumulative, and include previous updates.  It’s a good practice to read about the changes that EACH update introduces.

Unless specifically called out in the Firmware instructions, you can generally update to the latest version without performing intermediate updates.
