I had an issue with my a1 when I updated to version 1.4 and I was told that my communications disappeared so I called and Sony told me it may be my motherboard was damaged but it was not true ! I disabled my battery out of camera for one month and WiFi came back thats why I did not update yet my A1 . Sony customer service has to improve and they do not provide a warranty in case they dammage your camera through firmware update, regardless they should put more effort in after sale like apple does its their responsability and they should not ignore proffessional customers
On 2.02 When viewing images in playback mode there is a icon overlay that is virtually telling you if you press the playback button again while you're in that mode you can go back to shooting. Um... It's a professional camera, why does one need an distracting icon to tell them that they can go back to shooting by pressing a playback button when one can just press the shutter button. Is there any way to get rid of that distracting icon? Sometimes it covers up one of my subjects eyes. And it really kills the vibe when showing clients photos you have taken.
Monumental? With R5 I had 1 as in one freeze in a year. Now 2 in 30 minutes. And extra or bettter functions? None I noticed. Something with ergonomics? Non confusing AF strategies? Better memory management for Tough cards? Not happy.
Apparently you’ve never used an FTP or the Creator’s App. There’s a huge difference between the former consumer app they once had. However, if you’re looking for a new camera body via firmware app it’s just not going to happen.
Good evening , I updated my Sony A1 to firmware 2.0 and it gave me a lot of problems. I just updated to the new version 2.1 and the problems are still the same. Do you have a solution? One of the main ones is that I don't have a connection to the mobile and I can't use anything from creators. Thank you.
I don't know if this will help you, but I had the exact same problem with my A7SIII after firmware 3.0. Here is what I did, and I hope it works for you. I pulled my battery out of camera, waited 5-10 mins, and put it back in. I went into the menu and reset my camera back to the factory condition, and after that, my Bluetooth came back along with my WI-FI, and now I can connect to the Creators app. This doesn't happen with every camera because my business partners A7SIII didn't have this happen, and his Bluetooth was fine after 3.0 update. I hope it works for you, but at last no guarantees as I didnt have an a1 to try, but I had that horrible error message and my stomach dropped. Bluetooth worked fine before the update, and I need it to work with the Lidar on my Ronin Rs3 pro, so I was willing to give it a try. I discovered this by playing around, trial and error, and thinking like a computer guy, told myself I had nothing to loose, well it worked.
So so so disappointed with Sony A1 fw without precapture and no video bird eye auto focus for flag ship or the most expensive full frame camera with plenty of horsepower. Sony infrequently updates fw I have no hope Sony will provide !!
@@miguelortiz5270the Z8 is a sleeper. But the native glass not including adapted lenses has such a limited selection. Seems like no camera company has given us the grail camera yet.
Mine works perfectly. Downloaded the file done. Tested all my usual preferences and liked the slicker feel with AF etc. This is a v2 so for me its a key platform to roll out a whole lot of new or improved features which will come 💪📷
Muahahahahahahahahaha! I am not a Sony shooter Joe, so I am only here for the Al(Gore)Rhythm. Question: How many years have the Sony A7Siii users been waiting for an update?
I can't see a single thing here for power users for neither Still nor Cine photography. What a waste of time and a convoluted mess of an installation process. Maybe the Sony devs should go and get lessons from any of the other Companies as there are pages of installation instructions without a link for the download 2 weeks after the announcement 😂
My a7Siii has the Bluetooth error now. I did a million things, reset the whole camera multiple times etc, nope. Hope they fix it QUICK!

Will the update to 3.0 wipe the settings on the a7IV too?

I really don’t understand then why do we have Animal eye after in video in FX30? FX30 doesn’t have ai chip.
Very strange your Instagram is not available and your Website is Expired, probably never used a sony camera.
Do you know that while I have 2 cards saved on the screen, it only shows one?
When are they projected to re-released the update?
There is nothing in this update for people who use the a1 for still photography.

The world doesn’t revolve around A1 users,
Non-TTL triggers for the A1 have stopped working for me since the 2.0 update

you think it might help if you told us what the problems are???
My Sony A1 won't connect to Bluetooth or WiFi after the update, so I can't connect to the Creators App

Why do RUclipsrs never mention what tripod they use?
Works great. I’m not sure why others are having issues but it’s working perfectly. Perhaps some are bypassing the first part
Wasn’t there also people saying that after updating the firmware.. they couldn’t edit in Lightroom?
yeah it seems to be like that. i have shot some pictures and light room won't let me
even do not show me the preview
The update for the Alpha 1 has been withdrawn because of network connection issues.
My sony old nex5t playsback videos continuosly and to filter 😅. Old festures are coming back.

Wanted to buy A1, ended with used A6600. I am glad I didn't spend 10x more money.
For the guy who wanted a BMW and settled for a Kia
@@hitthestreetsphoto1253 Kia @iso 100 makes better photos than bmw.
Sony it´s pushing me to the Nikon Z8! 😛 (Wildlife)
Why is that.
@@jamesjackson4264 45 M, 30fps, precapture, bird/animal AF for video, focus stack and firmwares! 😅(not considering lightweight prime telephotos)
@@jamesjackson4264 much better video and precapture and can use Sony lenses with an adapter. I am think of going the same way

Bluetooth on my A1 ist destroyed mit 2.02!!!!😢

The music in the background seems to distract more than help. Would rather just hear your comments. Thanks. 😎😎

Question: How many years have the Sony A7Siii users been waiting for an update?
I wanted open gate. Most things from this update are useless to me
My A7Riv has not had any update since May 2020. Sony has a history of not caring about support.
Nothing for Sony A7C
That's one of the reasons I am not switching to Sony.😊

its not frameware 2.0 :| its 3,0
And the Sony camera app is pitiful. 😂
As an A7IV user, I just want to tell Sony thanks for nothing
