Camera works worse after an update — go back to the old version
You can go back to the previous firmware version. Download the old version from the camera manufacturer's website, upload it through the camera app, and restart. This takes 15 minutes and fixes it.
When a firmware update breaks your camera, you can downgrade back to the version that worked. Download the old firmware from the manufacturer, upload it through the camera app, and let the camera reboot. The process is straightforward and safe.
