Sony press event on September 8. Unsure if it’s for the A7c too…

On September 8 Sony will have a livestream event to announce a lot of new TV’s, projectors and other 4K gear. In theory this doesn’t sound like an event for a possible Sony A7c announcement. But there will be also a new Xperia 5II (I leaked the teaser video here). So there might be small chance to get the A7c too which is going to be marketed for vloggers and youtubers.

Sources knowing the exact Sony A7c announcement date are welcome to drop me the info using the contact box and their “nickname” so that I know it’s a legit info. Thanks!

New Sony A6600 firmware update adds support for the LA-EA5 A-Mount Adapter

It’s available here: sony.co.uk/electronics/support/downloads/00016897

Benefits and Improvements

  • Adds support for the LA-EA5 A-Mount Adapter (sold separately)
    • LA-EA5 A-Mount Adapter supports all A-mount lenses
    • Full support is provided for focal plane phase-detection AF, and the AF and high-speed continuous shooting features
    • Wide-area focal plane phase-detection AF coverage
    • AF features based on subject recognition, including Real-time Eye AF (human, animal) and Real-time Tracking
    • AF/AE tracking during continuous shooting at up to 11fps

    Notes:

    • STF lenses are manual focus only
    • Teleconverters are not supported for use with any A-Mount Adapters
    • Autofocus is not available during movie recording when using the LA-EA5 A-Mount Adapter
    • For AE tracking, the aperture is fixed for the first frame while shutter speed and ISO are used for exposure adjustment
  • Improves the overall stability of the camera

And Sigma issued this warning today:

The focus may not work on α7R III / α7R IV depending on the shooting distance when the focus mode is set to ‘AF-C’ with an aperture value of F1.2. We are planning a firmware update to address this issue, which will be announced in due course.
