- Adds support for FTP transfer in Active Mode
- Improves the operational stability of the camera

The two things I hate most about Sony cameras, which I do love overall though:
1. No automated focus stacking
2. The FW update process which requires the camera to be connected to a computer running very specific operating system versions rather than a download that you can do on any OS and then place onto a card had the camera then does the FW install from the card (like almost every other camera manufacturer on the market)

Point #1 is the strangest ommission. Point #2 is very frustrating and I don't understand it. Sony seems to listen to their customers, but they don't fall over backwards making the changes.
