Sony issues firmware update for the A7rIV, A7rIII and A7III adds “My menu” custom settings saving and loading

Sony released a new firmware update for the A7rIV (download here), A7rIII (download here) and A7III (download here).

Benefits and Improvements

  • Enables use of “My Menu” to save or load custom camera settings

    This function allows you to configure the settings of an attached flash or wireless radio commander (both sold separately) directly from the camera.

    Compatible Flash models

    • HVL-F45RM (with flash firmware version 2.00 or later)
    Compatible wireless radio commander:

      Note: The functionality will be enabled after the upcoming wireless radio commander firmware version.

    Please refer to the Help Guide for more information:

  • Improves the overall stability of the camera
