  • Sony firmware update 3.10 for a7 cameras, a6000, a5100 now available

    Sony has released firmware update 3.10 for the a7R II, a7R, a7S, a7 II, a7, a6000 and a5100 camera models. The update primarily brings new lens support and is available to download now from Sony’s support website.

    All updates bring the ability to use AF with the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM while recording movies. The changelogs for the a6000, a7, a7 II, a5100, and a7R II all mention ‘Phase-detection AF is supported,’ which we’ve asked Sony for some clarification on. Additionally, updates for all but the a7R II enable the correct lens data to be recorded in EXIF.

    As Sony introduces the Alpha a5100 interchangeable lens camera, it officially leaves behind the NEX moniker its mirrorless line originated with. The a5100 picks up where the NEX-5 series leaves off, combining the 24.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor of the a6000 and the more compact footprint of the NEX-5T.
