Canon has released a firmware update for the PowerShot SX280 HS.

PowerShot SX280 HS

Firmware Version 1.0.2.0 incorporates the following fixes and improvements:

1) Increases the duration of movie shooting by 20% in cases where the optical zoom is used compared to cameras running Firmware  Version 1.0.0.0 or Firmware Version1.0.1.0 through a reduction in the power consumption of the optical zoom.

*Time under default camera settings, when normal operations are performed, such as shooting, pausing, turning the camera on and off, and zooming. (based on conditions established by Canon).
?Under some shooting conditions, the recording time may be shorter than mentioned above.
?Recording time with a fully charged battery.

2) Fixes a phenomenon with cameras running firmware version 1.0.0.0, in which the low battery level warning is prematurely displayed while shooting in movie mode.

Firmware Version 1.0.2.0 is for cameras with firmware Version 1.0.1.0 or Version 1.0.0.0. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.0.2.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
