New firmware for Z1 and V has been released by RICOH.

The main update for Z1 is around “Auto WB level” being added to shooting settings.

I wonder how this is different from “Auto”?

The release notes has this additional information.

The white balance correction level under incandescent light can be set when the white balance is set to “Auto”.

I’ve been experimenting with the white balance settings for our office lighting.

The user guide indicates that there is Incandescent light 1 and incandescent light 2. I wonder if there is a more granular setting now?


Update with mobile phone.

Camera begins reboot process and flashes “Firmware Update” on the OLED panel on the body of the camera.

It’s not clear what the new setting does.
