hi guys i tried to repair the software of my xperia c2305 using companion but an error pop out "model not supported this device is no longer supported by software repair", but before it was stuck in sony logo and the error is software repair error. can you please help me
Hey , got the same problem here. I`ve read many articles on forums and looks like you can try reinstalling the firmware using flashtool. But I still haven`t tried it yet.. Hope there is another solution to the problem.
Before getting into specific camera firmware updates, a significant feature is coming to all four cameras: content authenticity tools. Recent image editing controversies in the news world have shown that these are desperately needed.
In the fight against fake and AI-generated images, Sony aims to make more cameras C2PA compliant. This joint mission between many technology companies, including several camera makers, is focused on creating the standards and tools required for news agencies and photographers to preserve image provenance and integrity.
Concerning professionals, they are the main focus of the new a1 update. Features new to the a1 include relay playback of images across multiple media, playback setting of multiple media, copy between memory cards, playback filters, automatic FTP transfer settings, synchronized release, focus frame display, menu support in the SDK, saving lens model to MP4 video files, cam ID and reel number support, being able to save up to 9,999 images in a folder (up from 4,000), among many other new features.
Beyond these new features, at least new to the a1 as some have been featured in newer camera models, there are also numerous improvements to existing features. Sony promises improved image stabilization performance, better autofocus assist, improved workflow options when using flash, 4K/30p UVC support, better breathing compensation during video recording, and more.
The a7S III is also getting some features that the a1 has had since launch, including front and rear dial customization, folder naming using any characters, forced file number reset control, and control over shutter behavior when the camera is powered off.
Once users upgrade their a9 III to version 2.0, they can shoot continuous images at shutter speeds faster than 1/16,000s, pushing the camera to its 1/80,000s limit. Users can also shoot at f/1.8 at the fastest shutter speed, although f/1.2 and f/1.4 apertures still have shutter speed limitations.
The free firmware updates for the Sony a1, a7S III, and a7 IV cameras are available now. The Sony a9 III update is slated to arrive next month. As for the C2PA tools, these will be rolled out as part of a beta test for select news organizations and professionals first, before being expanded later to additional users. Sony has not provided complete details about the timing of the rollout, as it will depend on how the beta tests go.
I really love this camera but I am currently at my wit's end with this firmware update - I am trying to do a simple update to the latest firmware but despite the fact that my camera otherwise connects perfectly to my PC (remote shooting, Windows showing the camera folder etc. etc.), the update software refuses to find the camera.
When I plug the camera in via the usb c cable, Windows reacts by showing a new device is connected, and the camera also shows that it is successfully connected via usb, then why does the software update application fail to find the camera? I had no issues with Imaging Edge connecting with the camera either. I also had no issue updating the A7SIII either.
Apparently there is a new version of the A7RIII out with product name ILCE-7RM3A vs. the older ILCE-7RM3 (note the A vs. no A at the end). I see the ILCE-7RM3A product code under my camera - I recently bought it. I never knew about this and kept landing on the ILCE-7RM3 firmware download page, little did I know there is a separate firmware download page for ILCE-7RM3A, but his page does not have any new firmware currently. Perhaps ILCE-7RM3A already has all updates from the previous ILCE-7RM3 camera firmware??
This is quite interesting. Apparently Sony made some minor improvements in ILCE-7RM3A over the older version, most notably a higher res back LCD screen and the Sony label removed at the bottom of the back screen.
I bought a Sony A7RIIIA because of the good sale price, never hurts to have an extra body. I pulled my hair out for about an hour trying to get my camera to get recognized by the Sony firmware updater for the Sony A7RIII firmware. After a short google search I found this. Thanks for the information! This seems to be the case for me too!
Hi everyone, so frustrated, spent $2500 on my new a7IV plus a lens and I have literally spent hours online trying to find a solution for this - simply updating my firmware. ANY help would be appreciated... I've carefully done all the steps, but when I connect the camera to my MacBook M1 Silicon and click next, the Firmware updater for Sony A7IV looks but then says "Could not find the camera for this update." I have the right cable, updated my security, and have worked through the exact steps many times, PLUS have spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading about this issue. And help would be appreciated.
Update: User error, of course. Turns out, when you google "sony a7 iv firmware update" (because the A7 IV doesn't show up when browsing their own site -lens-cameras/c/full-frame) , the top google result from sony.com is actually the product page for the A7RM4, not A7M4. I could take responsibility for this but it's 2022 and Sony should be better at SEO, so I refuse to admit culpability for my own problems.
Then, after that, more user error (apparently, although I'm going to blame Sony still). My XPS laptop doesn't have USB-A ports, so I used an adaptor to convert to USB-C. I knew this was 'bad', but when the firmware update tool recognized my camera I thought it'd be ok. Nope. When I finally connected to my desktop PC which had a USB-A port, then it worked.
If I recall this correctly people were having issues because Google Drive was running / connected / in use when connecting their camera or updating firmware. Another problem was using a different cable than what came with the camera. Scope out these possibilities. I believe it was mentioned in this forum a time or two.
