A few months ago my IQ180 went to B/W suddenly, sorted by "factory reset" in menu as advised by P1 Tech.Being able to view images in monochrome was an update added several fw versions ago. It is user selectable. Let's hope it has nothing to do with your FW update!
When viewing an image on your IQ180, in the bottom right corner of the screen is a little bubble dialogue box. Press it. This should bring up several user selectable icons. Top right, are two overlapping B&W circles. toggle it on or off. A green check mark denotes if turned on.
Fingers-crossed----I'll be doing the IQ180 and XF firmware update shortly...

Sadly my XF is on its way back to Phase with what seems to be a shutter problem after only 1200 cycles. The camera operated correctly until a couple of days ago when the screen started showing "Capture Error". Turning off and on again seemed to solve the problem, but a few hours later images did not show up on the back (or in C1). Changing lenses, batteries and CF cards made no difference. I had updated the firmware long before this problem occurred so I don't think it's related.
The back is fine - it shows images from other CF cards that had not been erased or formatted, and even for the blank images the various functions were all functioning except the pix were all black!
I noted that when turning the XF off the mirror did not come up and I think the FP shutter stayed closed - although both responded correctly when I took the back off.
I'll report on what Phase says when I get it back - hopefully very soon!
Great to hear and a great example of the value of a good dealer .I'm pleased to say my XF did not have a serious problem. My dealer in Toronto sent me the following note.
