need help. i updated my sony a7iv and now it shuts down in 15 minutes. would it be possible to downgrade?

[@wheelxtech]

Hi.downgrade is not possible , check the settings if automatically turning off is activated , if not, reset the camera to factory settings.are you using original Sony battery?

[@TVPALOTINA]

@@wheelxtech setting is high. I use sony v90 128gb card.

[@wheelxtech]

I mean the battery not the memory card.is it original Sony? And is it shutting down during recording?

[@TVPALOTINA]

@@wheelxtech Yes. they are all original. turns off in 12 or 15 minutes. heating.

[@wheelxtech]

Can you try to flip the screen out and try again.i can record much longer when I flip the screen out without any overheat warning

[@pematamang9268]

I have recent Version 1.11 and it doesn't work or Version 4.

[@wheelxtech]

if you have V.1.05 or higher it should work.charge the battery to 100%, download the V2.0 and put the memory card in the slot 1.let me know if it worked.

Hello everyone…be very careful before performing any updates on the SONY A7IV firmware! This update firmware from 1.10 to 2.0 broke my Sony A7IV , Sony service and support Canada tried with me by phone to bring it to life with no success and gave me a list of authorized repair dealers to have it repaired at my cost , it’s out of warranty since the 27 of December 2021 and now it’s costing me $902,70 Canadian to have it repaired, ( have to change the "Mother Board " ) Sony says they can’t do nothing for me . GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!🙏🤞🥴

[@wheelxtech]

Hi, thanks for the warning. I've seen other cases as well but by second try they could manage to update. The behaviour of Sony is not acceptable anyways. There is only 1 way to update the camera, I don't know what the solution is, not updating the FW?

[@SergeCousineau]

@@wheelxtech I have done the update from 1.0 to 1.10 before with no problem I did the same thing for this one and it failed, we tried to fix it with Sony support with no success I tried everything I saw from everybody on KZbin with no success either …there was no success in several tryouts…🤬🥴

[@wheelxtech]

how they found out that the mother board is the issue?already tried to take out the battery, fully charged put back in and try again?
