1. Click on the picture of your camera or type in your model in the search textbox.
2. Click on the Downloads Tab.
3. Select your operating system
4. Click on 'Go to Download Page' link
5. Please follow the detailed instructions and illustrations provided by Sony.

Upgrading of firmware is a risky procedure; do it with utmost care and attention:
> When performing the firmware upgrade, please use a fully charged rechargeable battery pack NP-FW50 or the AC adaptor AC-PW20 (sold separately).

> Do not remove the battery or AC adaptor during the upgrade; otherwise, the camera may become inoperable due to the sudden power shutdown.

>Remove the memory card from the camera beforehand.

>When using an A-mount lens with the LA-EA2 Mount Adaptor (sold separately) and setting to use the AF Micro Adj. function, the registered value is reset

Canon EF mount boleh? brows.gif

P.S. Are we ever going to merge the Alpha A-mount and Alpha E-mount/FE-mount threads back, as is intended by our Sony overlords who have killed the NEX naming altogether?

i did asked them several time last time, 2 or 3 times, each time they tells me that its not good, confusing with lens range E vs A etc, then Alpha thread too fast cannot catch up (now it seem alpha is super slow and E thread is too fast)... if u really wanted to merge, let get more ppl blessing first.

Depends how fast is fast lor. When it was fast, it was still a habit that we were used to. Now it's slow, but instead of taking subjective perception, let's have some numbers!

The Sony E/FE Mount Thread:

v5 Aug 13 2013 - May 19 2014 - 279 days
v4 Nov 8 2012 - Aug 12 2013 - 277 days
v3 Jan 25 2012 - Aug 2013 - 201 days
v2 Jun 25 2011 - Dec 28 2011 - 186 days
v1 Oct 1 2010 - Jun 21 2011 - 263 days

The Sony Alpha Thread:

v59 Dec 24 2012 - Feb 11 2014 - 414 days
v58 Jul 16 2012 - Dec 20 2012 - 157 days
v57 Mar 15 2012 - Jul 13 2012 - 120 days
v56 Dec 22 2011 - Mar 14 2012 - 83 days
v55 Oct 31 2011 - Dec 21 2011 - 51 days
v54 Sep 3 2011 - Oct 31 2011 - 58 days
v53 Jun 11 2011 - Sep 3 2011 - 84 days
v52 Apr 3 2011 - Jun 10 2011 - 68 days
v51 Feb 28 2011 - Apr 2 2011 - 33 days
v50 Jan 25 2011 - Feb 28 2011 - 34 days
v40 May 8 2010 - May 25 2010 - 14 days
v30 Aug 17 2009 - Sep 9 2009 - 23 days
v20 Jan 23 2009 - Feb 13 2009 - 21 days
v10 Jul 11 2008 - Jul 26 2008 - 15 days
v2 Feb 27 2008 - Mar 19 2008 - 21 days
v1 Jun 15 2007 - Feb 27 2008 - 257 days

The start date is of the first post while the end date is found by adding /+2500 to the end of the URL, and looking at the date of post #2501.

Date difference using this: http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html

How many days will it take to hit 2500 with a merged thread? E/FE-mount v5 went at 8.96 posts/day while Sony Alpha v59 went at 6.04 posts/day. This adds up to 15 posts/day, and 2500posts / 15posts/day = 166.66 days. Quite manageable.

Let's... have a good ol' list.

I say YES to merging The Sony Alpha Thread and The Sony E/FE Mount Thread:
1. lwliam
2. albnok
3.
4.
5.


I say NO to merging The Sony Alpha Thread and The Sony E/FE Mount Thread:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Supposing X is the number of posters in The SONY E-Mount Thread ver. 5. The voting can be finalized when:

1) the votes reach 2/3 of X

OR

2) the YES or NO votes exceed 1/2 of X

I guess a moderator has access to find out X - I think I remember ianho used to tell us who the most active poster was... I can't find such statistics myself.

i believe most of sony camera user is using e-mount camera, i guess better not going to merge? so at least if a-mount user when sharing or seek for idea, won't be easily abandoned? although it may not a good idea
