Sony Releases New Camera Firmware Updates for E-mount lenses, NEX-7, SLT-A36, A57, A65 and A77

By admin | Published October 18, 2012

Sony just released new firmware updates for its E-mount lenses, NEX-7, SLT-A36, A57, A65 and A77.

First up are details about αNEX-7 Firmware v1.01. This update will realize two community requests as well as three detail improvements. This update will enable the ability to disable Movie Record button (which will be helpful in avoiding inadvertently starting movie recording) along with the expansion of EV Bracketing to include 3 frame 1EV, 2EV and 3EV increments. αNEX-7 Firmware v1.01 also improves auto playback responsiveness along with improving  image quality when using a wide angle lens. Last item to note with this firmware update is the improvement of indication when setting “Flexible Spot” AF mode.

Next is E-mount lens firmware v.2,  for use with Hybrid AF E-mount on the αNEX-5R/αNEX-6. This specifically applies to the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Standard Zoom Lens ( SEL1855), the 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 Telephoto Lens (SEL55210), the 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Telephoto Lens (SEL18200) and the 24mm f/1.8 Wide-Angle Prime Lens (SEL24F18Z) to enable Hybrid AF function with NEX-5R and NEX-6. It’s important to note that our E-mount lens firmware v2 is for the lens not the camera so it can be performed only with these lenses attached to Hybrid AF capable cameras (αNEX-5R/αNEX-6). Since these lenses were designed before the introduction of Hybrid AF, their firmware needed to be updated for Hybrid AF to function.

There is a v1.06 firmware update for SLT-α65V and SLT-α77V that includes the ability to enable/disable movie record button along with lens compensation (Chromatic Aberration, Distortion, Corner shading) for SAL30M28, SAL50F14, SAL2875, SAL1635Z, SAL2470Z, SAL35F14G, SAL70200G and SAL70400G lens models.

And lastly there is a v1.03 firmware update for the α37 (SLT-a37) and α57 (SLT-a57) that also includes the ability to enable/disable movie record button along with lens compensation (Chromatic Aberration, Distortion, Corner shading) for SAL30M28, SAL50F14, SAL2875, SAL1635Z, SAL2470Z, SAL35F14G, SAL70200G and SAL70400G models.

Sony Launching A77, A65, NEX-7, 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM and 24mm f/1.7 Zeiss E-mount Lens on 23 August 2011

Well, August is here, and do we have a busy August.  Further to our post on the Nikon Press Event for the possible release of the D4, D800 and D400, good sources from sonyalpharumors indicates that Sony is having their own major release field day on 23 August 2011 (US date).

According to sonyalpharumors, Sony is prepping the release of the A77, A65, 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM and 24mm f/1.7 Zeiss E-mount Lens and maybe the NEX-5N, VG20 and couple more E-mount lenses.

The image you looking at is possible the final speculation pic of the A77. The A77 will have a new 24mp APS-C sensor, 3 Million dots OLED viewfinder (electronic as I was told), full HD recording, high ISO up to 102,400 and ability to shoot 10fps. As for storage, last heard that CF was dropped.

Well, I’m sure the final specs will start surfacing on sites like sonyalpharumors, Alpha Mount, DPReview and Dyxum forums, so stay tuned for more.
