• Preset Focus with lenses that have no power zoom (some zoom lenses are not supported).
• Focal length shown to one decimal place; delete and rate images on both card slots at once; folder and file names shown in playback.
• FTP: cancel scheduled transfers, new Transfer & Tagging settings, and SFTP server setup.
• Write Digital Signature for movies (Sony's Camera Authenticity Solution; licence timing set by Sony).

• Also: a recording fix for the ECM-M1 microphone, support for Sony's paid Volume Photography License, and better operational stability.

1. Download BODYDATA.DAT from Sony's page (button below). You can also download it with Sony's Creators' App.
2. Format a memory card in the camera (this erases it), then save BODYDATA.DAT in the root of the card. Don't rename it, and keep only one BODYDATA.DAT on the card.
3. Use a fully charged NP-FZ100 battery (at least 51%) and detach the vertical grip.
4. Put the card in the camera. On the camera: MENU › Setup › Setup Option › Version › Body, choose Software Update, then Execute.
5. It takes about 6 minutes. Don't remove the battery or the card. The camera restarts by itself when it is done.

If the camera is hot, the update may not start: wait for it to cool down.

Put the card in slot 1: only slot 1 reads the update. If your camera is on 1.00 or 1.01, first set Wi-Fi Connect and Cnct. while Power OFF to Off, turn the camera off, then take the battery out and put it back.
