Sony a77 firmware update?

audiotrax — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:07:38 GMT

I've heard rumor that there is a firmware update on the way this month (October) for the a77. No word as to what will be included in it, but that there IS one on the way. Can anybody confirm this 100%? Anyone who has spent 10 minutes with their a77 knows it's (almost) the perfect camera, but is missing a few things to allow the subtraction of the word "almost".

Hello audiotrax - Welcome to the Sony Forums

As with most firmware updates, this is not something that I can officially confirm. In the event that Sony make an announcement, the latest firmware update will always be available here:

Thanks,

This utility updates the SLT-A77 firmware to version 1.06 , and provides the following benefits:

Sorry, apparently it does include the A65. The UK update page clearly says 'only applies to SLT-A77', but I understand that A65 users have been able to implement this update. Full marks for confusing this A65 owner.
