Official Press Release

As promised, Sony just released updated firmware for A7III, A7RIII and A9 cameras. In my previous article I mentioned that Sony will release update in mid-December.

Today they published firmware fixes, versions 2.10 (for A7III & A7RIII) and 4.10 (for A9). You can download the updates here: Sony A7III, Sony A7RIII & Sony A9. (Update) The updates has been removed from the Sony website.

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.
