Great work Stuart. Just updated my A1 . My stored settings on memory card didn't work. But it is a good exercise to revisit all your settings once in a while. Excellent concise video . Look forward to giving it a go. Looking forward to meeting up soon Mark 👍

awesome Mark yes deffo looking forward to it too. and thankyou 😀

I had already updated to V2.0. I had no issues with that version and generally found the camera performed better. I have just updated from V2.0 to V2.01 and again no issues with the bonus of the settings and custom buttons were unchanged, no need to re-do these as was required in the initial update from V1.32 to V2.0.

happy yours is all good. camera feels more alive now which is good. off to go and see what its like in the real world.

[@johngadsby3881]

I didn't do the first 3 steps before i updated my A1. I did do my normal run around the table 3 times and go 'whohoo whohoo whohoo' not sure if it helps but i am not changing a winning tactic.

😂 must have worked well then i might try that next time

[@leonkirkbride6559]

Good luck ! Mines still on FW2.0 , I'm still getting the increased battery drainage so might update to 2.01 at the weekend . Keep us updated

[@sjm.photos]

just been out and it seemed to be doing 1% every couple minutes with airplane mode off so all wireless stuff on. but with airplane mode on it was 1% every 5 mins or so id say at a guess.

I haven’t done a firmware update for years. I now have the A6700 which needs an update and I’m dreading it !

[@sjm.photos]

All works fine my a6700 is upto date . But you dont have to if you are happy with what the camera gives you then you can leave it

[@user-qu7un2ng5v]

@@sjm.photos Thank you Stuart. I’ll give it a try when I feel brave enough !

[@liekcastaneda4658]

Stuart, are you still experiencing the hang up/freezing on your camera after updating the firmware?

[@sjm.photos]

Nope its working perfectly

[@frederickgreissing9913]

The first thing the update does is do a full reset. No need to do it manually.

[@sjm.photos]

no harm. and it could be one reason why some are going wrong if it doesnt do it properly

[@abhic28]

hi I am still running the 1.31 version on my A1 with no problems at all....if I need to update the firmware....should I have to updaTE the 1.32 den 1.35 and later 2.0.....or can I skip n update the latest firmware

[@sjm.photos]

if you are happy with it now you can leave it but if you go to sonys site you can download the newest version as it will give you the instructions as it installs 1.35 then does 2.02 as a brand new operating system

[@TheOneMonk]

What is your experience with 2.01? Some people still seem to have BT/network issues…

[@sjm.photos]

Will be a video out soon but no issues at all on mine

[@TheOneMonk]

Thx! And subbed 😀

[@kruger1970]

I did not do the settings reset, nor the initialisation. Your video dropped after Mark Galer's. I updated the firmware, and then started to set up the camera again from scratch, via the camera, not the app. I quickly noticed that the camera started overheating terribly, and the battery drained quickly. Anyone else have the same issue?

[@sjm.photos]

just going out now with a full battery i shall report back.

[@JeffGardner-ca]

I did 1.31 to 1.35 to 2.01 and no problems

[@rmclark339]

I feel kind of out of touch because I do not recall Firmware 1.35. I'm on 1.32. Can I go from 1.32 to 2.01?

[@sjm.photos]

1.35 is in with the update 2.01 so you do both

[@BC-hs4bd]

Apologies, but you are speaking very fast - hard to understand ...

[@sjm.photos]

sorry , slow down video speed a bit?

[@chrisfetner332]

Painful.

[@sjm.photos]

oh no did you hurt yourself. 😂
