No button-mashing, no cryptic error codes. It just worked. Step 4: What Actually Changed? (The Real Review) After the update, I tested the camera for two weeks. Here are the tangible differences:
| Issue Before Update | After v1.04 | |---------------------|--------------| | Camera froze after 10-shot burst | – No freezes at all. | | Would not read a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card (even formatted) | Still broken – 64GB cards remain unsupported. | | AF hunting in low light (EV 4-5) | Slightly improved – Not snappy, but 20% fewer misses. | | "Lens error" when zooming past 40x quickly | Fixed – Zoom is now smoother. | | Battery drain in sleep mode | Unchanged – Still loses 5% per hour. |
The screen stayed black for 10 terrifying seconds. Then, small white text appeared: "Updating firmware. Do not turn off."
3.2/5 stars – A necessary evil for Kodak owners.
