Yes, I have updated.
It seems that the camera now can cope better with superwide rangefinder lenses as well!

Thanks Sony that we can now enable or disable the MOVIE button. It was a real pain before.

I've updated too, thanks for the heads-up Gary. I haven't looked at it yet but it was worth updating just to be able to disable the movie button. I just wish there was some way to store all your old settings and apply them again after updating.
