- Show the connected drone model's illustration, logo, and a matching background on the connect screen. - Show a red "Discovery error" status on the connect screen when the drone is reachable but its discovery service responds with an error, instead of leaving the status on "Not connected". - Hide manual exposure, white balance, hue, and the X3 Ultra and X7 image-tuning sliders behind a collapsible Advanced section in camera settings, with a badge showing how many advanced settings are currently in manual override mode. - Add a Recording Quality selector in camera settings to choose between High Efficiency, Normal, and Max Quality bitrate presets, and a Recording Codec selector for H.264 / H.265 on Blueye X3 Ultra and X7. - Show a brief banner with the active resolution, frame rate, codec, and quality preset when video recording starts. - Fix UTM coordinate handling in POI and waypoint editors: accept both "32N" and "N32" zone formats, prevent crashes when entering coordinates before a UTM zone, and stop the waypoint Name and UTM Zone fields from being overwritten with "0". - Change the default picture mode to capture pictures on the drone only (previously drone picture plus an app screenshot). The Picture Mode setting still allows choosing screenshots or both. - Fix the media transfer screen's download progress indicator not appearing while transferring photos and videos from the drone.
