Installed Newest Firmware Into My New-Used Hasselblad X1D

I updated the firmware in my Hasselblad X1D (1.22). The camera seems to function a bit better now, no freezing and rebooting. I also have access to many more camera abilities after the firmware install. For example I can select different functions for different buttons as well as shoot in a multitude of format sizes. Will start out shooting in 6x6 and move on from there.

Am still playing with and learning the camera. Setting up the custom modes, figuring the best way to shoot what. Plan on using the camera next week to do some portraits of mom (part of the series documenting her Dementia illness) and will do a few portraits of my friend Larry, who has a strong face for pictures.
