Hidden features in PlayStation 4 firmware update 1.70

Firmware update 1.70 for the PlayStation 4 is a very beefy update for the console, but there's some updates that aren't as popularly known as the full list of updates that have been uploaded on gaming sites.

The Sixth Axis broke down even more features that are hidden inside the update, found when exploring the system after the upgrade. Most of these are simple, small updates, but still pretty interesting.

Here are the highlights:

• Hold L2 and press triangle to switch the virtual keyboard from the letters/numbers layout to symbols layout.
• You have to turn HDCP back on to watch Blu-rays or use video streaming services.
• New Blu-ray options: set default languages, allow/deny access to the internet, and filter noise reduction.
• There's an option to dim the screen with the Start Screensaver setting.
• Length of a video that's automatically stored in the share system can be altered from it's default 15-minute setting.
• USB Export works with FAT32 and exFAT formatted drives.
• Multiple broadcast settings have been improved. There's a better layout, a broadcast can be stopped in the Broadcast Settings, and a grief reports can be submitted for inappropriate pictures and broadcasts.
