There is an updated firmware available on the following site, the Yi 2 is delivered with firmware version 1.07.
Unfortunately I cannot find any release notes and cannot see any obvious differences.

Thanks, from the download page there is no changelog but if you update through the Yi App the changes are as follows:

How do you update to 1.0.9?
I've downloaded the firmware and installed it on the CD card, but I have no idea which option to pick on the start-up screen as it's all in Chinese.

1.0.12 released.

I am beta testing 1.0.13 at the moment, includes a few bug fixes but has 2 new features, The option for a flat colour profile for video and the ability to mute sound recording.

They are also in the process of introducing a new 16:9 ratio to sit along side the 2.5 4:3 option which will come in a future release.

Hi guys,

I am new here and I wanted to ask you few questions :

- How do you do to have beta access to new firmwares?
- Also, how can we contact Xiaoyi to make request or suggest improvements (possibility to change bitrate, have a 2.5K mode with 60FPS etc.). Is there an official forum maybe?

Thanks

The answer to both questions is to make yourself a member of the official yi camera facebook group.

The latest beta firmware is on there for download and also a thread for firmware suggestions which the Yi firmware engineer responds with thoughts and answers.
I am really impressed with how they are listening to their customers and are wanting to improve the camera as much as they can.
