New Sony NEX and SLT firmware updates posted

Just go to:

And select downloads/drivers and get to your camera model.

I know for the NEX-6 it's mainly to allow support for more lenses for hybrid AF.

 

Updating now!

NEX-6 Camera Firmware Update What Does This Do? This utility updates the NEX-6 camera firmware to version 1.01 and provides support for the following Fast Hybrid AF compliant lenses:

• SEL1018, SEL35F18, SELP18200, SEL30M35, SEL50F18, SEL18200LE
  
  Note: When using the SEL30M35, SEL50F18, and SEL18200LE lenses, please update the lens firmware to the latest available version.

So do you need to update the lenses also or does the FW update cover it all?

 

If you have one of the lenses that needs an update.

Example, the new 10-18 was designed for hybrid AF out of the box so no FW update needed.

 

I updated the 18-200 the last time the FW was issued for the lens so it looks like I am good for now. ; Do you have a link to the lens FW pages?

 

I believe the update may cover the 18-200mm original - so if you haven't already, you should make sure that lens is attached and receives the latest firmware update to make sure the PDAF focusing works with that lens.

 

Never mind - just noticed your new post while I was typing!
