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

BTW, I learned something new today. Vignetting is not JUST caused by stuff blocking your AOV (angle of view) - aka stacking filters too high or using too many step up rings. There's a whole bunch of other reasons for it (unfortunately). I WAS aware of most of these.

What I was NOT aware of is what happens (vignetting-wise) when using UWAs with high factor ND filters (like an ND3.0/ND1000) at very long exposures.

Apparently, light passing into the UWAs travel through the ND at different angles (due to the filters being flat when the front element usually isn't) thus causing additional vignetting (or more accurately, light fall-off). Plus the long exposures already worsen whatever native vignetting the lens already has (which UWAs usually suffer a lot from, comparatively).

Still trying to figure out if this Long Exposure ND Fall-Off thing is actually what's happening to me and my Samyang 12 though, I do have a few more tests to run before I can confirm if this is the case.

Will continue testing and will report back here.

Apologies if this is old news though - it does seem helpful to note before the next person comes and wonders why his UWA is vignetting unnecessarily - though most of the time nowadays in-camera correction usually does all the work for you.

Apparently from the EXIF it's split between a Samyang FE (prolly the 12mm FF FE - but as always no EXIF info) and the SEL1635Z. The ones with less distortion is probably the Zeiss.

But yeah, I'd wait for the man of the hour to give us more definite answers behind these beautiful set of pics.

But you get wider pics lol. So it really depends, a wider AOV (8mm) vs convenience + wider aperture + filters (12mm). In the perfect world where cost/ease of transport isn't an issue, I'd say why choose: Get both.

Unfortunately for me, with my limited funds, that wasn't really an option lol. So I chose one that's easier to work with: The 12.

Not that posting normal pics from the 12 involved zero PP either - everything I post out must at least go through some simple PP-ing on my phone first (PhotoEditor on Android is a wonderful quick-PP tool). Less work than pics from an FE, yes. But not entirely zero processing work either.

Though again, I'd really like know how kucau handles workflow. Those photos feel like they have been lovingly PP-ed, hence the results.

BTW, is it just me or does anybody else see FE more as Full-frame E-mount rather than Fisheye lol?

i see as Full frame E-mount either, but if you put "FishEye(FE)" then most ppl will understand it.

The "12" here you mean which lens ?

Nop in my case 12 = Samyang 12mm f2 NTFE (Not-The-Fish-Eye), cause I prefer APSC optimised lenses as they are smaller and I don't run FF for that very reason (size). Apologies for not being more specific.

I was replying to IwanAGP's post which was referring to the Samyang 2.8/8 APSC, which is one of the original 2 members of Samyang's specialised mirrorless only range (which now the new 1.2/50 and the 1.4/21 are part of). The other original member of the range is the Samyang 2/12.

Hence I mentioned the 2/12 as just "the 12"... I kinda missed the fact that there was the 2.8/12 Fisheye from Samyang as well lol.

Hi Guys,

I just bought a SEL50F18 on 28October2015. I am trying to register my lens in Sony Malaysia website and it says invalid product?

Am I getting a non-local set? Am I being CON?

Thank you.

Ok bro. Thank you for the advice.

Apparently from the EXIF it's split between a Samyang FE (prolly the 12mm FF FE - but as always no EXIF info) and the SEL1635Z. The ones with less distortion is probably the Zeiss.

But yeah, I'd wait for the man of the hour to give us more definite answers behind these beautiful set of pics.

yup. some 1635 zeiss and some samyang fisheye 12mm defish using photoshop warp

Not sure if I can provide any CnC lol... the shots are simply breathtaking - really does justice to the scenery. Wondering if you can share some your landscape techniques even.

I particularly like No. 2, 6 and 7. One thing's for sure, you have one instant Flickr follower already: Me!

Glad to see a fellow former A200 user though. Great little starter cam, right?

hi, my technique is very simple actually. i shoot mostly apperture priority except for milkyway, and some seascape where i want the shutter speed around 1/4. iso 100 to max dynamic range and clean image. . i try to play apperture around f8 to f11 to reduce chance of diffraction. my WB is usually auto. hahahah ..u can adjust WB later. RAW is a must.. im very lucky to have high dynamic range a7r where i can minimise gnd usage ... gnd or any other filters may degrade your final result. shoot ETTL and recover shadow later.


most important, free your mind from all technicall stuffs... your end result is picture. not gadgets , not complicated setting. focus MORE on composition. composition is king in landscape. hari2 tgk 500px. art is not science , u have to feel it. hoe? by looking at awesome image everyday untill it goes into your heart... get a cheap camera as a start. of course u will be limited with entry level camera , but i found out i learned max during my a200 days...


when u reach certain level and u have enuff skill and knowledge get the best stuffs money can buy. high mpx camera is prone to shake. get very good tripod and head. i use feisol and rrs tripod.

if you r interested with my editing style u may have a look at this utube
