On December 7, 2018 Sony released a notification about the latest software update (ver.2.00) for their A7III and A7RIII cameras. The software was released about two months ago but Sony discovered some issues, and removed it from their website. In the notifications they apologize for any inconvenience Sony Firmware Delay may cause, and assure their customers that a solution will be published around mid-December.

The following issues may occur with our α7R III and α7 III interchangeable lens digital cameras:

1. In rare cases, your α7R III or α7 III model may stop functioning while writing RAW data onto an SD card that has already been used multiple times.
2. With the α7R III, taking a picture while using the Auto Review function may occasionally cause the camera to stop responding.

Sony has an active recall for some of their SEL50F14Z Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lenses, which have been found to have instances of fogging inside the lens.

Serial Numbers:

• 1800001 to 1810699
• 8300001 to 8300119

Together with the A7R III, Sony released a 24-105mm f/4 mid-range zoom lens. Months later, it is still on back-order, but the first issues with the lens has already been detected. According to Sony “in certain shooting conditions an out of focus issue may occur with some 24-105mm F4 Full-frame E-mount G (SEL24105G) lenses”. Sony started a repair program for 24-105mm lens.
