 In general firmware updates add new functionality and fix bugs while retaining backwards compatibility, though on rare occasion backward compatibility is compromised.  If you are not using Micro-Manager, you should double-check with the vendor of the acquisition software before updating firmware.  If you are using Micro-Manager, you should generally download the latest nightly build whenever you update firmware.  Conversely, if you are having problems with a recent build of Micro-Manager make sure that the controller firmware is the latest. In general firmware updates add new functionality and fix bugs while retaining backwards compatibility, though on rare occasion backward compatibility is compromised.  If you are not using Micro-Manager, you should double-check with the vendor of the acquisition software before updating firmware.  If you are using Micro-Manager, you should generally download the latest nightly build whenever you update firmware.  Conversely, if you are having problems with a recent build of Micro-Manager make sure that the controller firmware is the latest.
