I was saying that the latest update for the M5 is 'v2', so there's no point in waiting for 'v6' to appear. He was suggesting that an M5A firmware update might follow an M6 firmware update, which is a logical assumption.Īgain - the point in response to your questioning is that I never said there was a v2 firmware update for the M6 because I know there is not. So when he said, " So hence, it would be nice if sony or someone could tell us whether RX100 5 firmware update is indeed the one we need for 5A or whether we are closer to a v6 firmware update and hence wait," he was obviously referring to the M6.

Sony has created that situation with naming inconsistencies. People don't refer to the cameras with consistent names. I assumed that probability, but when someone writes 'v6 firmware' we might wonder. Therefore, mentioning v6 made no sense unless he was talking about a camera. I was saying the most recent firmware for the M5 - which Mihalis and I both referenced here - is v2. No, you incorrectly inferred something that I wasn't saying. That suggested the M6 has had a firmware update. His sentence containing 'v6 firmware update' doesn't make sense otherwise.īut you said, "Wait for v6 firmware? The most recent one is v2". I'm guessing that's what Mihalis is talking about. That's why I said wait for a firmware update to the RX100M6. Has there ever been a firmware update for the M6? I thought it was still on its original firmware. If you mean wait for a firmware update to the RX100M6 and then look for a concurrent firmware update to RX100M5A, you could do that. Wait for v6 firmware? The most recent one is v2. Or whether we are closer to a v6 firmware update and hence wait ? I think Sony is telling us that by not offering an update for the 5A. So hence, it would be nice if sony or someone could tell us whether RX100 5 firmware update is indeed the one we need for 5A The 5A already has those white balance and flash settings, and it doesn't necessarily require the other improvements either. Improve overall stability of the camera.(Quality: RAW & JPEG + Soft Skin Effect: ON + Face Detection: ON) Improve the symptom where the camera does not power on after a specific setting.Improve overall stability of the camera.īenefits provided from previous updates includes:.Added “Flash Off” mode when Flash unit is popped-up.Added “Underwater Auto” in White Balance settings.Improve operation with Underwater Housing (MPK-URX100A).Let's just assume that the 5A does not need the features provided in the 5 update (which was released almost three years ago): I understand that the processor etc., has been updated, but the software in some cases may have been the same. So are we to assume that the corrections that Sony made in version 2.0 of the firmware update to RX100 5 has also (where appropriate) been made to v1.0 of RX100 5A ?
