Software update ...
What the manufacturer has thought there? - Nix!
The update is almost impossible to realize, ...! Who no longer has 32bit Windows, might have a problem!
Why are devices from the January 15 Production not already delivered (according to label) with the latest firmware?
Handling
Handling well and easy settings are easily made via the camera menu. Anyone who has worked with Yongnuo / Canon flash comes without the manual to right, this is only in English / Chinese available (question if permitted for the German market)

The battery indicator has now adjusted back to normal behavior. - I write that because it is so, but I also can not explain that. So far I can find no further problems.
The flash results are good, the quick release sufficiently stable. Handling, simple and intuitive for me.
The battery consumption is higher than in a YN 565 EXII or Canon 580 EX.
