When I got my Nex-3 it was on Version 1. The previous owner never updated it. I found and cleaned off 2 Mini USB (not Micro USB) cables and got it connected and upgraded to version 5.
I have a NEX-5N that I bought new in 2011, and you are making me so happy realizing what a great investment it was at the time! I've made videos on and off with it and am going to start again soon so I've been doing my research and your channel is so helpful. The only thing is, it is on version 1.00, and now my Mac is too advanced to be able to install the new firmware! Luckily (?) it looks like the 5N didn't have many updates.
Have you gotten the metal bottom plate for the Nex VG 10? It makes a world of difference because it spreads the load over the whole bottom of the camera preventing it from cracking
Man, I love your video, it's like a second life for these old cameras. I have a question which are the better lenses for the Nex cameras? coz' I what to buy one to have it in my regular backpack, like a second camera. Greetings from Mexico. Really nice work bro, you got another sub. 👌👌👌
Thank you! Vintage lenses are definitely the best on a budget, you can find old Canon FD lenses for really cheap on eBay and get an adapter so they mount on the NEX cameras. If you have more of a budget though the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and 30mm f1.4 are really great lenses.
OK I am sorry but why does this not have many views?? This is a high quality video from one of the best RUclipsrs in my opinion. You have made me want to buy a Sony NEX camera. Thank you so much for your vidoes!
You're videos have been super helpful in figuring out which camera is which and which one does what. It's tough trying to buy them on eBay when the descriptions are vague and they lack photos. Now I know what I am looking for. Thank you!
Don't forget lense firmware updates, yes fo the lenses. Put the lense on the camera and update in a similar way. Sony has many firmware updates for the lenses.
I’ve just picked up a 5N in the UK. Obviously I cannot get 24fps or 60fps, unlike the USA model. If I were to update the firmware on my UK spec with USA spec firmware, am I just creating a jazzy looking brick or has the idea got legs? Great content btw 👍
Informative video. Bro would you suggest to get a nex 5 or 550d for around the same price for video? Also is there significant difference in video quality between nex5, 5n, 5t? I'm not able to figure it out.
Just bought an NEX 5R used. So to learn about the camera I searched RUclips for tips and came accross your NEX videos. Today I watched this video about the firmware update and found my camera was still on 1.01. Thanks for your suggestion to update the firmware. Without you I would not have known so quickly to check it. Now 1.03. Still confused about the Lens/Mount version. Can I update that the same way on a different part of the Sony site?
@@damianranko9740 Ver 1.02. No noticable/significant improvement. Sony's website mentioned about "faster Hybrid AF". I guess you will notice it if you still have the ver 1.01. Mine was already at 1.02
@@michaeltimj I went from 1.01 to 1.03 The significant improvement for me was the addition of a menu function allowing non sensor third party lenses to be used. I purchased a Lensbaby lens and at 1.01 it kept telling me the lens was not connected correctly. This was all fixed when I upgraded to 1.03, the lens works great now.
Trying to update NEX 5R with Mac Mojave, and it's saying update isn't compatible. Apparently I have to have Mac OSX?? Do you know if there's a workaround?
Is there anything for the Handycam Dcr series. It has a bunch of annoying limitations like only accepting memory stick of 8gb that would be great to remove.
Firmware doesn’t have to always match a specific model when the base hardware is technically the same. You could try downloading the firmware for a higher model and it might work but have other features disabled or simply not available because that hardware level function isn’t on that camera.

Thanks for the video! Just had one question that why am I getting an error while updating the firmware on my NEX 3N? PC says please connect the compatible data cable to complete the process.. What should I do please help me! Even the same data cable I am using for charging and transferring files from this camera to my pc ..
