Using the e^(x) key changes to EXP(x) in CAS for me . WHY?

I do not know why this happens as it only occurs when my calculator is in CAS mode (regardless of app) and I cannot find a setting to alter this. I've seen youtube videos of others writing this out fine in CAS. Even clicking "Shift" -> "LN" will output as "exp()".

This makes reading functions/equations less pleasing to my eyes .

Help, please?

Ex.1 Should look like: x*e^x
Does look like: x*EXP(x)
Ex.2 sin(e^3)
sin(EXP(3))

P.s. Sorry if this is a simple issue to fix. I am a new member and had trouble finding a thread on this.

Is your firmware updated? (To find out, press the [Help] key and select the "Tree" menu option, followed by About HP Prime. The most recent firmware is 2014 12 3 (6975). You can get this by simply connecting your calculator to the connectivity kit (software included on the CD that came with the calculator). The conn. kit will update itself, and then you simply plug your calculator in and it will walk you through the rest.

exp(x) is how most CAS represent the exponential function. However, on my own calculator even if I type in exp(x), it is displayed as e^x.
