New DF+ Firmware Released
Firmware 2.24 Now Available
Phase One has just announced a new firmware update for the 645DF+ camera body. This update addresses a number of stability issues; which should benefit many customers. However, Phase One is still addressing some additional issues – which will hopefully be resolved in the near future. Stay tuned to the Capture Integration blog for technical feedback. Please read below, and let us know if you need any assistance with your updates.

Firmware version in the 645DF+ camera body can be checked on the LCD screen of the camera by selecting custom function 99.

Improvements
This firmware corrects some, but not all lock up issues (read further below).
Double exposure could sometimes occur when cold, or when battery power was low.
Sometimes users have experienced a reset of settings if exposure was made before AF confirmation – this is now fixed.
Magenta images sometimes occurred when shooting with P 45+, P 30+, P 25+, P 21+ and P 20+ series.
Wrong or missing lens metadata in files when using the Schneider Kreuznach 2x Teleconverter
Resetting the camera to default will set the battery type to Alkaline – this is now changed to Li-Ion.
Remaining Issues
Setting up Auto Focus to activate on AEL button press will prevent MUP capture
In some scenarios Aperture/time can change randomly when shooting tethered
Some bracketing issues remain when set to C mode and using 5 or 7 images
Some Misc. EXIF data issues, mostly related to missing lens information on some lens configurations

In order to lower the failure rate of “Err DB”, “Cap DB” and “No DB” from the camera it is important to always try to work with fully charged 645DF+ batteries.
