Lumix LX3 firmware update

Attention all Lumix LX3 owners. Our favorite little toy has released a firmware update for us to take advantage of. Much like the iPhone upgrade to 3.0 firmware, the Lumix 2.0 firmware offers a lot of new things for the camera. Among the most notable:

• Improved auto white balance performance.
• Auto Focus speed-up.
• Recording function with an aspect ratio of 1:1 has been added.
• A white balance (WB) bracket function has been added.
• [HIGH DYNAMIC] has been added to scene mode.
• The exposure compensation and the auto bracket compensation can now be set up to ±3EV.
• Position of the guide line can now be set.
• It is now possible to display the highlights in playback mode.
• Digital red-eye removal has been modified.
