Sony A7III and A7rIII firmware 2.10 released. Also new 4.10 firmware for the A9.

Sony finally released the new 2.10 firmware for the A7III (download here) and A7rIII (download here).

Benefits and Improvements from the latest update

  • Improves the following:
    • In rare cases, the camera may stop functioning while writing RAW data onto an SD card that has already been used multiple times
      Notes:

      • This may also cause abnormalities in the files managing the images, preventing the images from displaying on the camera.
      • No image data in the memory card will be corrupted or deleted aside from the data that was being written at the time the interruption occurred.
  • Solves the problem caused by a specific third-party memory card, which would not be recognised by Sony cameras
  • Improvement of the overall stability of the camera

UPDATE: There is also a new 4.10 firmware update for the Sony A9 (download here).

Benefits and Improvements from the latest update

  • Solves the problem caused by a specific third-party memory card, which would not be recognised by Sony cameras
