Sony update a7iii software#

In their defense I think they have realized this and I can see some steps in the right direction with more of their products value being based on a rich software portfolio and not just fancy hardware with minimal software to get it to just work barebone style. How it should work and need to work in the future for any camera company to stay relevant is easier to say.ДЄs hardware differences between the companies levels out, its is with software enabled functions and features they will compete in a near future.ДЄnd here Sony really needs to step up and become more agile and release software on cadence.Д«asically they need to implement the thinking of the SAFe development framework or similar as is used by many modern companies which competes with software functions. So again, how Sony has their process and software release guidelines is hard to understand from just observing from the outside, as we are forced to do. No body model had a version beyond version 4 until they threw out both version 5 and 6 for the A9mkI, which got quite large function updates with those releases. I have noted that they normally stop updating anything but critical bugs and updates to enable functionality with newly released accessory hardware once the follow up model has hit the market. It almost seems like they trough a dice what to take into a release.

Neither have I managed to understand how they do their backlog planning and what goes into development for a certain body or lens model. 10) and sometimes a rather small update is labeled as a major update (like 4.0). Sometimes it quite a load of things in an incremental versioned update (like 3. I have never understood their versioning for example. I agree that any update is better than none and I am grateful for the ones we get.Д«ut Sony has their own way of doing software updates. It really depends on the product lineups and again iвЂ™m not suggestion they are doing a bad job, most of the firmware updates where really great! I think 5 years support should be standard, with this statement iвЂ™m not suggesting we should have all the glory for 5 years just a couple simpel onceвЂ™s. Now give us v4.10 with the red focus selector and iвЂ™m a happy shooter with my old old old camera body. Now i am very happy they announced v3.10 or 3.0 i donвЂ™t remember which version they added better AF, but iвЂ™m still very happy about it. Now thats a big jump in numbers, owh wait it only adds ftp :S Now in my opinion a 3 year old? This suggest itвЂ™s a very old old old camera and we should be happy to go from 3.10 to 4.0. I would not label it as complaining, the AF part is kinda obvious but simpel other adjustments would be great to have for better user experience. Some people might enjoy the added functionality. Yeah, I'd like to see some information too because all the materials I have read say that it has the exact same sensor and processor as the a7III.ДЄre you seriously complaining that there is a new firmware update for that 3 year old camera? Just ignore the update then.

Interesting, do you have a source or some more info about that? The a7C doesn't have better hardware, just better software.ДЄ7C has a dedicated microprocessor for AF function from A9mk1 (like all cameras after A7III series). I think somethings are hardware dependent so you can't expect too much improvement in AF IMO, I would be surprised if the focus point color is hardware dependent and i really think they should have added LEA-5 support if possible. But damn i really would have liked a red focus point instead of the grey transparent one. No AFC improvements, no focus point visibility improvement, no other usability improvements.ДЄF-C improvements would be great but iвЂ™m not expecting such an improvement. So, there's a new 4.0 firmware for the a7III but, of all the things they could've improved, they only improved FTP transfer.
