I installed the Version "3.0-int" firmware last night. I have not had time for thorough testing, and as usual I cannot even predict when I will, but I did some quick testing of issues for 4K video:
Yi 42.5mm F1.8 lens: (no focus ring)
During 4K video:
- cannot set Manual focus (no change from "version 2.0 Int.")
- EV comp is working using dial
- Touch Screen focus works during 4K video
Yi 12-40mm F3.5-5.6 zoom lens: (has a focus ring)
- Manual focus can be set and used (with or without "peaking" -- no change from "version 2.0 Int.")
- EV compensation is working using the dial
- Touch Screen focus works during 4K video
I have not tried face detect during video yet [See Below], which would also be a big asset, but this much goes very far in making the camera a viable video tool. The "touch screen focus" is best used on a tripod or at the least, a monopod, but that is how I work for most of my video recording anyway.

I just ran a quick test of face detection in 4K video using the Yi 12-40mm F3.5-5.6 zoom. It is working. It might not be as good as some other cameras, but it definitely makes this a more useful video camera.
