These updates are very promising. I knew this would come from all the "not focusing, not sharp" talk. The X5 stat wise is a very professional camera, far better than the X3 (on paper) It just needed beta testing really. They will perfect it and make everyone happy they spent the extra money. I have a question though, what does the bit width increase do? Don't have an idea on that specific topic.

That's for color bit increase. See this article for some explanation of that
What is 10-bit Color?
Realistically would it increase the color quality? Maybe, but maybe just a tiny bit.
I am excited to try this update. I hope DJI can keep improving this. Bringing X5 out to the market as quickly as possible was important, but equally important is to address user concerns and wishes.

I updated my X5 with the new FW today. This was done using the new .bin file on the MicroSD inserted in the X5 slot. It did take a while and updated 4 sub-systems. I then flew 2 flights with my Olympus 45mm.
The raw DNG files with the 45mm are now correctly formatted and the tartan effect (reported by others) gone. The long focal length lens is well stabilised and the still images look fantastic. The narrow field of view makes video difficult to track in yaw and pitch and with the aircraft moving. More practise and a camera operator is needed. The 45mm does provide a good standoff for inspection work.

Yes. I had very strong words with them but didn't get much of an answer.

ya, super sharp, like x3 sharp but nicer. might need to tone it down to -1. im uploading a clip straight from the camera to utube just for kicks.
Seems they responded to user feedback.
Community: X5 image is too soft.
DJI: how about 3x sharper, happy now?
Community: Now it is too sharp.

Quick tests on Inspire Pro with x5, 15mm lens and new (11/24) firmware - just had one battery worth of time.
Exposure flicker shooting in A mode was still there and just as bad. This on a big outdoor grass field with no lighting changes.
I haven't had a chance to review the other changes.

When the update completes, does it have a solid green and make sounds like D,D--D?

Inspire 1 Pro (Upgraded from 1.0.0.3)/Ipad Mini2 (DJIGo 2.4.1)
Only got a chance to fly twice today... Gimbal now has a slight pan drift that I can't figure out. Re-Calibrated the Olympus 12mm lens and got it nice and sharp but when I looked under the settings menu again the calibrate lens option disappeared ?? No comment on improved flight characteristics. Going to run it through its paces on dual op tomorrow. APP crashed twice. Additionally when using the AF when clicking on the screen, especially during lens calibration the AF box was most of the time highlighting objects that were not correct. I am hoping I just had a fluke day...

I'm also experiencing gimbal drift - anyone else? An older thread suggested calibrating the compass but can't see how this will help
