Sony a6000 XAVC-S firmware update

really, the a5100 wich is her little sister, has it, and a6000 no? i just ordered an a6000 on amazon 2 days ago, then i read about 5100 wich seems better for this and touch screen? do i really need to send it back to amazon? i really like it... please, update firmware with XAVC-S support, on some video based reviews, reviewers blame the avhcd codec... and i'm sure there's no hardware problem... same sensor, same cpu, same hardware etc.

I've just registered specifically to back this call for a firmware update for the a6000. I understand that sometimes camera models have minor differences, but where the choice appears to be "have an evf" or "have a better codec" then that makes little sense. If early results are anything to go by, the video quality of the a5100 is stunning meaning that the sensor technology of the a6000 is clearly being held back by its AVCHD codec. I hope very much that Sony will consider implementing an update so that the a6000 can output 50Mb XAVC-S video. I bought my a6000 3 days before the a5100 was announced so clearly I'm delighted on one hand, but rather irritated on the other. I don't think that a7s sales will be affected by making this change as that camera represents a great upgrade path for both a6000 and a5100 users, IF they decide to stick with Sony.

Does Lightroom 4.4 support Sony a6000 RAW files

Hello Group,
I have tried and tried to get my version of Lightroom 4.4 to read my RAW files from my new Sony a6000. I have updated my adobe programs and still have had no luck. Do I need a newer version of Lightroom? I am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong. I do not have any plug-in that I can see. I can see the files when I downloaded the files to my MAC but I would like to open in Lightroom. Please help!
Thank you

You need version 5.4 minimum, current version of LR is 5.7.1. Alternatively you could convert (outside LR) the RAW files to DNG files using the Adobe DNG converter and import them into LR.

After firmware update ipod touch not working with my Sony Home Theater DAV HDX287WC any suggestions

Is there a solution to play music from my iPod touch on my Sony Home Theater System DAV HDX 287WC after recent firmware/software upgrade? However, I am still able to play music through my ipod classic, but I am really missing the the functionality of the iPod touch with my home theater system.

- Check to see if there is a firmware update for the theater system
Sometimes this works but sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Sony S300 Blue ray player firmware update .exe file...need to expand

Hello Everyone!
I have a sony blue ray firmware update that is .exe that i need to expand to get the .iso file on mac osx leopard. I don't have windows installed and do not want to. the link to the file is...
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=BDPS300&updid=4320&osid=7&ULA=YES
i need help as my blue ray player really needs this update.
Searched the internet and have not found any useful information as nothing suggested has worked.
any suggested would be greatly appreciated.
contacted sony and said they would ship a disc, but it's been like two months and still have not seen it.
Clint

I have been scouring the net today for this .iso file. Actually just bought this player for 50 bucks. Could you possibly email me that file. That would be wicked. My email is [email protected]
Thanks!

Sony Firmware Update only available in .exe file

I have a Sony Blue Ray Player and the firmware updates are only available from Sony eSupport for Microsoft OS. I don't want to go to the trouble of partitioning the disk and using boot camp if I don't have to as this would be the only use I have for a MS OS. I don't even know why Sony wraps their .iso file in a .exe in the first place. I know that I can download the .exe but is there any simple way to get to the embedded .iso file to burn an image on a CD / DVD?

Baltwo, Thanks for pointing out that at least someone has tried to impress upon Sony Support that it would be most helpful to offer a .iso file for the many Sony customers who don't use Microsoft OS. Unfortunately, while this issue has been going on for years, I have never seen a reply from Sony acknowledging that resolution would be forthcoming. The mitigation of this situation would be at very little cost to Sony in that they would just need to keep such files available on their eSupport web site.

I own Lightroom 4 and have updated the software however, I am unable to import images taken on the Sony A6000. I have also updated the raw converter and am still having this issue.

You can either upgrade to Lightroom 5.4 or later, or use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.6 to convert your RAW photos to DNG, which then will import into Lightroom 4.

Sony's FDR-AX100 and GoPro firmware updates...

http://www.sony.net/Products/di/en-us/products/j4it/index.html
http://gopro.com/support/product-updates-support

Hi,
Firmware updates are optional, not necessary. Though it's for the best to keep updating your device whenever there's an update available.
As for the 'manual' part. You can choose whether you download your updates manually, or let the HP Support find them for you. In the end, it doesn't matter. You can always choose not to download an update.
I rather prefer to download them myself, because in my opinion the HP support doesn't do that of a good job, especially when you need to update your network driver and in doing so, you could erase the driver without reinstalling, and then what?
Search for updates for your device on the site of the manufacturer, don't trust the so called 'automatic driver updater'- programs in order not to download any virusses.
I hope this could've solved your 'problem', because it's a long time ago since you posted your question!
Cheers,
Tom

I cannot get .arw or jpeg files from my Sony A6000 to be taken into my Lightroom 4.4 via the normal "synchronise" process. I have updated my Pc to Adobe RAW/DNG 8.4 with no improvement. Can you help please?

With regards to your .arw files:
You need to either purchase and install Lightroom 5.4 -- OR -- download and install and use the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.4, did you actually launch and use the DNG Converter?
There should be no problem importing JPG files into Lightroom from your camera, what happens when you try? Is there an error message?

Sony minidv cameras and intel macbook stop talking after firmware update

i think there must be an issue with a driver conflict between sony's camcorders and the latest intel firmware update. three sony mini dv cameras fail to be recognized by final cut pro or imovie. i have no such issue with canon minidv cameras. any info on where to get an updated driver? sony doesn't seem to support anything other than microsoft systems. thanks in advance.

Try resetting the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Oh and tell Sony the next time they tell you they don't support Mac that the following is true:
1. Their president came to Macworld 2004 to introduce new products for the Mac and a collaboration with Apple. I was there and saw it.
2. Their music is being sold by the iTunes Music Store
3. They have Apple to thank for iLink, as iLink is actually Firewire.
Suggest to them to reconsider their position. As Mac users won't support them if they won't support Mac users.

PRS-T1 Firmware update request

Good afternoon.
I recently (about a month ago) bougth two PRS-T1 readers (one as a gift) and I was very happy. I wanted a reader since I first knew of them and a T1 since it came out. I got a job as an intern engineer for the summer and saved to finally buy my gadget of dreams. I actually wanted to wait a little to see if a promotion came up because I lost the "free Harry Potter book combo", but I wanted to use the Reader for my school books and when the "almost free cover" promotion came up I inmediately ordered it.
Fast-forward a few weeks and I'm more than satisfied with my reader. Tablets are very common now, but everyone that sees the e-Ink screen working is thrown back in amazement. I carry it with me at all times (I hold it under my arm because I know keeping it in a bag has the risk of braking the screen) and my reading rate has improved vastly.
I've had the chance to find some areas of improvement on the Reader in the few weeks that I've had it with me and some of those were: being able to post in Facebook my reading status and maybe cite a phrase; and a native Evernote app, because while using the mobile site with the browser to view notes is actually neat, navigation and finding notes isn't, and neither is creating new notes. I supposed these were just remote dreams, knowing that just because you hope for, it doesn't mean a company will implement those features.
Well, imagine my surprise. New reader (it looks very similar to the T2 so no regrets there) with specifically the two functions I spent a month thinking would be great to have. Maybe they were so obvious it was inevitable, but still. Additionally, it seems too soon to drop support of the T1 after less than a year into its lifecycle.
So this is my request to Sony from a true fanboy: Please release a firmware update for the PRS-T1 to add the Facebook and Evernote features. I'd also suggest to remove the Google Books button and change it for one of the above or even a Wikipedia dedicated button, since I discovered that using the Reader is the best device for hours-long Wiki reading sessions.
Please consider my humble request. Maybe it turns out to be very easy to get done. Maybe not. Either way I'll keep enjoying the best e-reading experience with the best e-reader in the market and for that I'm very thankful.

CS6 will not read/open Sony a6000 raw files

Have just purchased a Sony a6000 and I shoot in raw. When I came to retrieve the files from Bridge in CS6 it will not open them. The software shows up to date and if I try to open directly in CS6 nothing shows up. My Nikon downloads fine in raw. Please offer advice to start downloading my photographs.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The Sony a6000 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.4
If you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8 or Mac OS X 10.7 or later then update Camera Raw via Help.
Or manually install via
Camera Raw plug-in installer

Unable to open raw files from Sony A6000

I get this message:"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw," when I try to open files from the Sony A6000 though I have downloaded the most recent verisions of Camera Raw. The converter works but not CS5.
Any suggestion from anyone.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information

Your CS5 is too old and cannot be updated to support the Alpha 6000 which requires Camera Raw 8.4 or newer.
You can either upgrade to PS-CS6 or PS-CC or the free option is to convert your ARW raw files to DNGs with the DNG Converter 8.4 or newer, and those DNGs can be opened in the older ACR plug-in with CS5.

E61 Firmware update

I've a Nokia E61 product code 0537308 with firmware version 2.**** and I've noticed that a new version (3.0633.09.04) is available. So I've installed the Nokia updater software, made a complete backup of the phone and started to update the firmware of the phone.
Everything went fine until a certian moment the Nokia updater software start complaining that the SIM card was not inserted and give a update failure requesting to insert the SIM card while the SIM card is still in the phone.
Can this be caused by the fact that the SIM 'PIN code request' is on so everytime the phone is switched on the PIN code is requested. Do I have to put this off when a firmware update is performed?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses
As predicted O2 were of no help at all (bear in mind O2 is just a brand for carphonewarehouse)
I dont understand how nokia can provide a firmware update using the Nokia Software Udatater tool and then have it restricted so O2 users can't download the latest. What makes O2 so special (or not in this case) the phones are the same are they not?
Juding by the other forum topics on the same subject I am not the only one suffering the same lack of support.
I went back to my Sony Ericsson in October due to the lack of support....maybe Nokia should start to take ownership of this problem and put pressure on O2 rather than relying on users to do that job from them because O2 is not an easy company to get a repsonse from (although the operator did at least try), they pointed me at carphone warehouse who in turn pointed me to O2...... and so the cycle goes on.
Shame really as the phone as a unit is quite nice, however it's just a nice shiny brick on my desk at the moment ....
Do Nokia read these forums?
