Firmware Notice: MS-500: Firmware Version 2.1.0

Firmware Version 2.1.0 incorporates the following changes:
- Improved image quality in bright environments.
- The usable gain range has been expanded from 0 - 72 dB to 0 - 84 dB.
Note that the 0 - 72 dB range before V2.0.0 corresponds to 12 - 84 dB after the firmware update.
- Now able to limit the lower limit of the automatically set gain.
- Fixed the issue where thin horizontal lines appeared in images when shooting at fast shutter speeds.
As a result, the [Extended Shutter Speed] option has been removed from the OSD menu.
In addition, the shutter speed can now be set between 1/2400 - 1/4000 seconds.
- Improved auto exposure control to reduce noise increase in dark scenes and better use a faster shutter speed in bright scenes.
- [BT.709 Standard] and [Canon 709] gammas now support Smart Shade Control and Haze Compensation.
- Now able to hide individual items on the shooting screen.
- Now able to display the firmware version in the OSD menu.
