2.1.1 solved a lot of crashes for me. However, user profiles are unusable if you want to use exposure compensation. Select a profile and use any method wheel menu etc to adjust exposure compensation and the camera will switch back to the default profile. What is the point of a user profile if one can’t use exposure compensation?
