The camera firmware provides the following benefits:

2) Improves the Sweep Panorama function by enhancing the accuracy of the stitching in cases where sky or sea occupy a large part of the scene

3) Reduces power consumption when the camera is off

4) Reduces start-up time under low-light conditions
