Phase One 645DF+ Camera Firmware Update 2.24

Phase One have released an update to the firmware of the Phase One 645DF+ Camera body. Firmware version 2.24 is available for download now through the Firmware Updater.

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

Firmware version 2.24 is is highly recommended for all 645DF+ cameras, updating to version 2.24 requires Firmware Updater 3.2 or later available from the Phase One website.

645DF+ Firmware Version 2.24 fixes:

1. This firmware corrects some lock up issues (read further below).
2. Double exposure could sometimes occur when cold, or when battery power was low.
3. Sometimes users have experienced a reset of settings if exposure was made before AF confirmation – this is now fixed.
4. Magenta images sometimes occurred when shooting with P 45+, P 30+, P 25+, P 21+ and P 20+ series.
5. Wrong or missing lens metadata in files when using the Schneider Kreuznach 2x Teleconverter
6. Resetting the camera to default would set the battery type to Alkaline – this is now changed to Li-Ion.

645DF+ Firmware Version 2.24 known 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

A small tip: It is important to always try to work with fully charged 645DF+ batteries in order to lower the failure rate of “Err DB”, “Cap DB” and “No DB” from the camera.
