News Sony A1 Firmware Update 2.00 Suspended

[Tim Mayo]

It looks like Sony has suspended the new A1 firmware update due to the following reason:

It was confirmed that some products updated to Ver.2.00 may not be able to connect to the network.
Due to this issue, we have suspended the update. (March 29, 2024)

I was thinking I might wait to see if there was a 2.01 that fixed a possible issue with focus breathing compensation. Guess that decision has been taken out of my hands...

WellI must have been one of the lucky ones as I did mine yesterday and used it today. No problems.

I have never been an early adopter of software, firmware, etc. It used to be received wisdom not to be.

everyone moaned about it being crappy

And Sony said, "You can go without it, then! Straight to bed, with no update."

And most are not A1 users or a7iiiis users either ,actually i thought the firmware was quite nice a complete new ui at first very underwhelmed but ,fairly happy with something in the end ,really the only deal i want is 3rd party restriction stopped and pre capture ,ok focus stacking at a pinch and some video tracking with subject ai but not essential for me .

If you have any interest in the focus breathing compensation, you might want to check that it's working properly - there area a few reports that it can be glitchy.

All of that is available! Just spend another $7500 on the A1M2!

Eventually, yes. But don't say it too loudly or they will moan that it's not available today...

Although I'm not sure you got the price right. I'd hope it's not more than $7499.

It will available in the menu but when assigned it will not function .

Picked my A1 from Sony Pro Services today, the firmware was halted because of a number of issues. Connectivity just being one of them.
