Firmware version 5.11.36 will run on IQ140, IQ160, IQ180, IQ260, IQ260 Achromatic and IQ280. This firmware provides significantly improved system stability together with the latest firmware for Phase One 645DF+ (v2.24) and 645DF (v1.57 or v1.25). Furthermore the firmware contains some quality improvement to tethered Live View on both IQ1 and IQ2 platform, as well as some new features.*

New Features:
- It is now possible to power on/off the digital back only using the Phase One 645DF+ power button.
- Turn on a DF+ body and it automatically power up the IQ digital back.
*We have noticed in our testing that occasionally the back will not recognize the DF+ powering on. Phase One is aware of this and working on a fix.

- Disabling this feature can be accessed from the Power Management menu.
- Live View in Capture One is now available when connected both via USB3 and FIreWire
- Location data (GPS tagging of images) is now possible on IQ2xx when connected with Capture Pilot version 1.5 or later
- New Custom grid option is available in Live View on the digital back.
Issues Fixed:
