       The playback button has now been disabled while the camcorder is in recording mode, in order to prevent inadvertently switching
       modes.
4.     Quick access to the photo playback index screen, by holding down the playback button, has been added.
5.     Photo playback has been added to SP-V1 mode.
6.     In the Shooting Mode menu, the “Macro” option is now listed above “Auto” for improved ease of use.

Firmware Version 1.0.1.0 is for camcorders with firmware Version 1.0.0.0. If the camcorder's firmware is already Version 1.0.1.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Once you have updated your camcorder’s firmware, it cannot be downgraded to a previous version.
