Firmware update sharpens camera responses for α77 and α65 cameras by Sony
29 March 2012
Latest firmware Version 1.05 also supports aberration/vignetting compensation for more lenses
A new firmware update further boosts operability of the α77 and α65 Translucent Mirror cameras from Sony.
SLT-A77SLT-A65 1855
Available for free download from 29 March 2012, firmware Version 1.05 adds several enhancements to both cameras. Alongside heightened responsiveness, it improves operability of both cameras with a wider choice of A-mount optics by Carl Zeiss and Sony.
Shading and aberration compensation
Both cameras can now intelligently correct vignetting, lateral chromatic aberration and distortion for a total of 11 A-mount lenses, including a further six models that are now supported:
SAL-24F20Z (Carl Zeiss)
SAL-85F14Z (Carl Zeiss)
SAL-135F18Z (Carl Zeiss)
SAL-70300G (G Lens)
SAL-35F18
SAL-50F18
Improved responses
Operability of both cameras is further improved with a number of refinements that facilitate smoother, faster handling.
Auto review responses are now quicker, without a 'processing' message being displayed
Time between power switch operation and power off has been shortened
Front/rear dial responses are improved
Autofocus responses and precision
Autofocus accuracy is now improved when focusing on scenes with wide contrast difference between objects (applies to SLT-A77 only). In addition, AF speed is improved when using both cameras with the recently-announced SAL500F40G 500mm F4 G SSM super-telephoto lens by Sony. You'll be able to focus faster on athletes, wildlife and other distant subjects with this bright, high-magnification lens that is available exclusively to order.
Firmware version 1.05 for the α77/α65 Translucent Mirror cameras by Sony is available as a free download to registered owners from 29th March 2012
