I've never updated my A7IV since buying it around 18 months ago as I'm not very technically minded. With your easy to follow help here I'll try this tomorrow, thanks!
Yeah the upgrade wasn’t significant at all, main thing I think was for the new Creators App, my camera still works fine, so I really haven’t dive deep into what has changed
@WEDDINGSBYDARRENDDMP I guess Sony is trying to prevent none Sony batteries to be used in there cameras for whatever reasons. In that sense it can be considered a downgrade, and for me that’s a no go, because I should be able to use third party products if I’m on a budget.
Is it true that ver 3.0 will disable the battery meter when using 3rd party batts? I have several Wasabi Power and others. Also does it cause any issues with RAW files in Lightroom classic ver 13?
great tutorial, bro i'm going to the update for one reason, i hope this update solve the heating proplem The camera gets hot very quickly, and the weather here in UAE is Really tough. I am struggling here
Actually, everything works perfectly, none complains yet, I done 4 engagement shoots, and about 4 weddings so far, and it’s pretty good, actually just finished doing a video of a product I’m going to review soon, look out for that one shortly 😊
@@AndreMorganPhotography Watching your video, i have updated the firmware. But it doesn't help. I have no problem bringing SS down. It seems like the camera detects the environment and sets it accordingly. If i move the camera SS increases on its own. For closer objects it becomes low, and as the frame becomes wide it increases. Can you confirm if you can bring your shutter speed as high as you can? On manual mode ? Thank you very much!
@kashmirdeolart9009 i’m happy my way to help you to upgrade your firmware. What more did you have your camera in when you did your test? Let me know if you’re if you are in manual mode because when you’re in manual mode, you’re able to increase your short speed or your aperture or your ISO individually without it being moved by itself by the camera.
I’m not 100% sure if it will break or not, each person has been having different outcomes from the update, I updated without any issues, but some have had different outcomes, so if you think you don’t need to update you don’t need to
Hi, I use two SD Cards for my Sony A7iv. How to switch between the two SD cards to view my photos and videos on my A7iv? I can only view one SD card at a time. Thanks.

Good , I updated my Sony A1 to firmware 2.0 and it gave me a lot of problems. I just updated to the new version 2.1 and the problems are still the same. Do you have a solution? One of the main ones is that I don't have a connection to the mobile and I can't use anything from creators. Thank you.
That’s a new one for me, have you tried updating to the new version 4.00? ua-cam.com/video/5U3ShueDx0g/v-deo.html So far I haven’t heard any complaint about that one
Isn’t 1.10 higher than 1.05? But in any case you should be able to update, if you can’t it will definitely tell you. www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7m4/software/00280505
I desperately need some help 😩 I have a Sony A74 on 1.10. I can’t get it to update to 3.01 for the life of me. I’ve tried downloading 1.05 cause everyone keeps telling me that’s the solution but the camera just says that it’s the wrong update file. When I try to download 3.01 and update it, it just says it can’t find it or the file is damaged. I’ve exhausted my options here. I even factory reset the camera and no dice.
Downloading the 1.05 wouldn’t work at all, because you’d be going backwards, try and download a lower version that 3.01 and see if that works, like 2.01
@@AndreMorganPhotography I can’t seem to find anything lower than 3.01 anywhere online. Do you have a link perchance? Thanks so much for trying to help
Sorry you are having an issue with Sony, but it’s been working great for me, I love the colors, details etc. and my clients are happy. I hope you can get the issues figured out soon. Cheers!
First, Great video and explanation and great use of the Pocket 3 🔥 I don’t think he bashing Sony I think he means this update in general. Plus with this update they get rid of the ability to see your battery percentage with 3rd party batteries. Plus they definitely could have given us something more impactful as an update. I am curious what update would you have liked to see from Sony with the next update?
⚠DO NOT UPDATE⚠ If you upgrade to version 3.0 and above, you will no longer be able to use third-party batteries. Sony has begun eliminating competitors
Please stop saying that because it’s not true, I have used and still use batteries that are made from companies like Llano as you can see in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Ly1Ap8jqqbE/v-deo.html

@@AndreMorganPhotography I have Neewer and they worked fine with firmware 1.11. Now with firmware 3.01 after 30-40 seconds after switching on a warning pops up, and the display of the charge level in percent disappears. And the camera can turn off without saving the recording at any time, even when the battery icon shows 2 stripes

after doing the tutorial users will notice,,, nothing has been added to the camera! Sony should have added the new menu layout at least
Yeah the upgrade wasn’t significant at all, main thing I think was for the new Creators App, my camera still works fine, so I really haven’t dive deep into what has changed
The new firmware disables battery status for 3rd party batteries. So it's more of a downgrade than an upgrade for me.

I’m happy it helped you, let me know if you enjoy the new features
Thanks so much, you are a life saver. Works great....
You are welcome! I’m happy I could help!🙏🏾
I bought my A7iv at launch and I have never updated it. Why should I update it to newer firmware?
I would say, if you have no issues, you don’t need to update, I update mine because it make AF better, and few changes in the menus system.
Thanks for the video, I did my update. Hope my a7iv will not overheat with this new update 3.2
That’s amazing! I’m happy it helped you.
Great content. Please, what lens did you use for this video?
Thank you! For the main talking head I used the Sony 50mm GM f/1.2, and for the closeup of the back of the camera I used the Osmo Pocket 3

@EDILOVEMIDIA definitely, OP3 is killing it!… I have one more video coming out today that I think you will enjoy😊
Is it true that ver 3.0 will disable the battery meter when using 3rd party batts? I have several Wasabi Power and others. Also does it cause any issues with RAW files in Lightroom classic ver 13?
It’s the first time I’m hearing about that, so honestly I’m not sure
@1hiphapa Did you update it? and if you did, did it recognize your battery meter percentage?
@williebravo305 yes I did update it, and no I didn’t notice that about the battery
I confirm! I have Neewer and they worked fine with firmware 1.11. With version 3.0 and higher they do not work
Thanks for the video!
My pleasure
Its easier to just plug your phone into the camera and start the update in the app. Will diwnload, copy, and apply the update with minimal input.
Having different opinions is good, but personally, I like the idea of the SD card, just copy, paste and update like in the video I made.
great tutorial, bro
i'm going to the update for one reason, i hope this update solve the heating proplem
The camera gets hot very quickly, and the weather here in UAE is Really tough. I am struggling here
I hope it helps you with the heat too, please let me know how it goes
Did the update improve the heat issue? I'm in the same situation. Also can you still use the gridlines after updating?
@Squidpaws- haven’t heard back from him, so I hope it did help
@AndreMorganPhotography thanks. I'm hesitate to update as I don't really feel that I need it. I'm happy with the A7iv as it is
@Squidpaws- honestly, if you are good how your camera is now, I would say stay with it.
Thanks for the tutorial! enjoyed the video.
