This latest v3.2.0 firmware focuses on user improvements by adding support to use the function button on the Hasselblad 907X camera body to switch the face detection result on the fly.

Also, a new added feature is the support to active AE-L by tapping on the touch display when the 907X control grip is not used, adding to the appeal to use this camera in its very compact form without the added heft and clunkiness of the added hand grip.

The third and final update from this 3.2.0 firmware is improved user experience while using the Phocus Mobile 2 app, but you must have version 2.0.0 or later installed on either your phone or tablet to get the added benefit.

What exactly Hasselblad has changed to give you better improvement when using the app is unclear, but for Hasselblad to take time to update it, there must be a slight advantage with the 3.2.0 firmware.
