- Sony released a new firmware for the Sony a7SIII and Sony a1 that brings it closer to the newer recent Sony cameras released like the Sony FX3, Sony zve1, Sony a7rv, Sony a9IIII, Sony a6700, Sony FX30 etc... Sony a7SIII and a1 can now do focus breathng compensation and DCI 4k with the newer menu overlay but does not include the most important feature... The new firmware DOE NOT include the ability to uploaded USER LUTS!!!! .... let's discuss this atrocity.

It is pretty sad when as soon as the firmware update is launched, you have 20 glowing reviews how it is this massive big deal from various channels. The good news is we now know who the shills are
I got so fed up with Sony's lack of firmware updates I switched to Nikon
Damn that drastic
Dang bro you identify as Nikon now.
@@nVuFilms lol
Same bro Z8
@@87visuals49 Yup, Z8 is a beast!
I agree 100%. The worst part is this entire firmware update feels like 2 years too late. Th only upgrade that had such a huge impact was DCI 4K. Again, 2 years late to the game. We're staring at 6K cameras (such as the R3).
And whatever DJI is cooking
Panasonic Lumix S5 II has 6K Open Gate and is much cheaper.
Whatever Sony is doing is really sucky for their loyal customers!
Why what do you think theyre cooking up? @nVuFilms
It is a false dci 4k like fx3, again a crop in sensor and zoom to fit 4096
Normally a true Dci doesn't crop vertically and add more field in horizontal 😢
I just want a quick way to change frame rates + a 180 shutter feature that automatically changes when adjusting frame rates
👍
I agree 100% on focus breathing. The slight crop is definitely a L. Won't be using it
I still use the a7SIII and feel justifiably attacked for not switching to the FX3. Good analysis!
🤙
thought I might be the only one like focus breathing 😂 and Yes, there are a lots of Hollywood movies out there with focus breathing and I still don't get why people complaining about it lol
Lol yup
Finally!!! Somebody said it. That new update is so trash I am not going to waste my time. The FX3 got a billion updates while the SIII was treated like a step child. when we finally get one this is what we get..like really?! I guess.
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
You are right man, sony didn’t tell us they will release a fx3 after a7siii and treat like that. If we knew then never ever would have bought a7siii. As we have bought it sony should have treat us nicely.
to keep it 100, Sony screwed the a7s iii buyers by coming out with the FX3 so soon after its release. NO ONE uses the a7s iii primarily for photography. so they did a money grab and then came out with a "dedicated " cinema camerain the FX3. smh. If we, the collective, would have known they were going to do this bs, we would have waited for the FX3. Everyone does not have the moeny to just camera hop on a whim so we all can't just switch over to go buy a new body... becasue its Wednesday. With that said, to know that they screwed us and then took three years to give a significant update (that leaves A LOT to be desired) is just another kick in the teeth to us. They clearly are making cameras, at a lesser price point, with more features, that can be easily ported to our higher-end camera and they outright refuse to do it. Most of my lenses are not Sony so focus breathing is nice but does not impact me. Erasing all my setting for true 24K - which I have to download a license to add - is crazy. Charging for a grid pack - like I am collectin Pokémon cards - is insane. No animal eye detect - when it is in the menue, no luts...the list is endless. I can't even comprehend how they took this long to do so little. But, it is what it is. But it's intentionally little.
@@number1chiefROKKA if FX3 and a7SIII came out at the same time, no one would have bought an a7siii
@@nVuFilms my point exactly. They sold us on a prototype that they never intended to invest in. I would have bought the FX3 outright. I use Canon for pics. Though the EVF is amazing I never use it so the FX3 would and should have been it. It’s just that I KNOW they are deliberately NOT upgrading the A7S III, while it was the original flagship, is aggravating.
I was worried Sony would not give the new quick menu and the new moving shooting layout woth touch operation. But Sony actually overacheive the update not just give focus breathing compensation and dci 4k (actually two features I see myself not using), but give the new menu (which is better features for me). Overall I think it is a great firmware update should be. Yes it is still missing the user lut. But I have no complain for Sony this time.
Sick and tired of watching your terrible videos. Please keep them comming until I die.
Lol
I was waiting for that 4K 240 fps 2K 960 fps firmware upgrade. Lol
Lolol
They leap frogged from A7S III to A7S III hopefully that's in the next model.
4K 240 and 480 FHD
This firmware is really trash
After update i have some issue heating issue battery draining issue and third party lens focus issue like samyang lens. Any ody know how can downgrade firmware
If Sony ever gives us quality LCD screens they might be the best cameras out there…. It is funny how they make TVs and such and are terrible. Seriously if I ever go full frame I’ll get a newer one. Curious to see the specs of the A7V. I’d want a hybrid
💯
What’s worse is that the EVF on the a7s 3 is otherworldly phenomenal. If they just put that tech into the screen and added a couple millimeters to the screen it would and could be spectacular. They just simply won’t do it. Smh.
I agree: If someone notices the focus breathing in your shot, your film is cheeks. New sub, love the self deprecating sarcasm 🤣 Keep up the great work bro 🫡
🤙
The truth is, if you want to be professional, if you want to be the best... you need automatic lens breathing compensation.
😅
Don’t forget award-winning
Auto Focus Business Interviews with people making lots of gestures really need breathing compensation.
But the Main reason might be, that the new Sony 24mm Gmaster ist worse than the old one without it....
When the A7iii and A9 got those firmware updates 6 years ago or whenever, everyone was so hyped and they were awesome.
Not. A. Single. Good. Update. Since. Then.
Lol
Breathing compensation is 1000000% a scam. They want to convince us it is a huge problem. Admittedly really old photography lenses is indeed a problem, but new lenses really don't have that anywhere near as bad.
If you watch the dozens of cinematic masterpieces of even the last ten years, such as Joker 2019, you can see static shots where there is noticable breathing if you pay attention only on the edges.
But even then, the filmmakers behind these movies literally dont care about breathing on their $30,000 lens. Because nobody but us are gonna notice and even remotely care about it.
I tell this to my customers as I sell cameras and lenses for a living.
Thank you for noting this to the world.
Bonus: aperture blade count doesnt matter much either at all.
Breaking Bad has fucking hexagonal bokeh and it's gorgeous. Stop thinking you need 25 aperture blades and no breathing.
What filmmakers want in their films totally differ than photography. Filmmaker generally want less technical flawed lenses
I mean… the breathing compensation did improve the focus on my a1…
But it’s too little too late; I’m pissed this camera doesn’t do things that cameras 1/3rd the price can do.
Probably sell the A7S iii for more money with no update, as it still works properly.Ironic.
Agree that we need ability to load in luts on the A7S3!
☝️
Here’s a free “short” idea, my gift to you for being disappointed by these Sony fw updates.
Your hater twin brother:
- heyyyyy mman what are you doing? Those Sony updates is trattch
You:
- yes you’re right. They’re totally trash.
(2.5 sec silence)
Your hater twin brother:
- you owe me 29.99
Lol
To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.
Which is why I still won’t remove a monitor from my SIII set up. The flip out screen is practically just an autofocus touch tool.
And if I’m just out and about having fun without a monitor, I’m grabbing the ZVE1.
💯
Omg dude! 😂 This was hilarious AF
🤣🤙
You are my new favourite videographer d-bag trash youtuber man! I also binged the ”let me ssssshhhhhow you shorts and my girlfriend got mad because i was talking with her in his voice 😅
Shout outs from Sweden 👊💙💯
Lol
I agree….you can pay for grid lines but not custom lut….i wish I could upload luts! Although I love that they added the touch interface. Still love my a7siii
👍
Nobody shows your honesty. Absolute love!
Thanks for watching
Also so funny! I love the self deprecating humour…
Focus breathing compensation is the best: let me show you
👀
FX3 is a 1:1 readout so if you’re cropping in for focus breathing, you are already under sampling your video. I do NOT like this!!!
It's not quite 1:1. I think it's like 4.2k or something
But it still does under sample
Haha another funny video. Demonstrating how Viets know how to keep it real. Nail salons, Toyotas and Hondas lols!
🤣👍
You are wrong on many levels, especially focus breathing. When you're filming interviews at shallow depth of field, say f 1.2 on a 50 mm lens, if the subject moves back and forth the focus breathing is really distracting. It's also really distracting when you're racking focus from close subjects to long subjects.
DCI 4K is huge. Helps a lot with cinematic filming. Same thing with the shutter closing automatically .
This is the first time in Sony's History where they've done a big firmware update for a camera and added new features after the fact, so instead of bitching and complaining, be thankful. Or just get another camera loser.
When you are filming interview you should turn that AF off after you acquired focus.
Also I actually already did get another camera. I have Fx3 and FX30 like I mentioned in the video .
Next time watch the video before you stretch your thumbs to comment some dumb shit.
@@nVuFilms if the subject moves around, back and forth as they tend to do, and you're shooting at 1.4, you quickly lose focus, and the shots are awkward.
With focus breathing compensation and Sony's eye AF that doesn't happen, and it saves lot of shots, especially when you don't have someone manually focusing the entire interview.
My point is that many of the features they added in the firmware added are big deals for run and gun filmmakers.
The fx30 is the same camera with more holes and no viewfinder to nail focus with. The viewfinder is awesome for focusing.
I have to say, I died laughing when watching your video! I agree with you on the monitor LUT being the most critical update for the neglected A7S III. I use Panasonic, but this was hilarious. You earned a subscription. Love the jab at Gerald Undone (Storyblocks lol). We need more content like this on UA-cam :)
You're videos always hilarious from one d-bag tuber to another love the content.
💯👍🙏
luts and animal eye detect missing were really disappointing. Sony has always been shitty on updates but a lot of people were hoping for better from them.
Yea
The Zhiyun is pretty solid as a bounce!
Yes, also clean zoom without losing eye track
Unfortunately I did the update and regret it. The text is so small for aperture, shutter speed, exposure and ISO. I rely on the exposure all the time to make sure I am overexposed by 1.7 in Slog3. If you haven’t done the update don’t!!
Me won't
Focus breathing is not a bad thing but it surely is on the 35 and 50mm lenses (which means the breathing compensation option is worth it). Also, the timecode option is absolutely game-changing for some A7SIII users out there (me included).
Regardless, love the video :D
🤙🤙
Well someone certainly is not getting new Sony cameras for review!
Even if I said 100% good things if never get it. They dont want the smoke !
just found your channel love the vids. Was wondering what camera what you recommend for a hybrid beginner?
A7cII if you are serious about photo. Zve1 if more video focused and don't need fast photos or large prints. A6700 may also work for you.
@@nVuFilms thanks for the advice
Sony is not generous anymore after a7iii. Nikon is catching up with generousity
Nobody complains that their car doesn’t get upgrades so why are you complaining that your camera doesn’t. By the camera that you’re going to be happy with and if it doesn’t get upgrades, so what! Buy a different camera in the future. But for now be happy with what you have. Such a bunch of baby whiners.
😂😂 my trash dbag lumix been had v-log LUT assist....
It has gamma assist which puts a rec709 look over LOG. There just isn't an option for custom LUT. Which is ridiculous
The update I want for FX3 is the bloody variable shutter because that's what FX30 which cost half the price has. I also wonder how come being a cinema cam but it doesn't comes with waveform and only histogram. Who use histogram for video work?
My old Pana G9 has Waveform. My FX3 doesn‘t. It is beyond me.
But I ma sure with FX4 we‘ll get it. It is just a $5K update!
The „hate“ for focus breathing comes from overpriced Sony GM prime lenses that breathe af. Re firmware: my „douchebag“ a1 still does not have features that every trash Sony entry level mirrorless has. But the good thing: as I have given up on Sony I haven‘t installed this travesty of a firmware update. So my totally-unsupported-flagship-brick still works.
I think the last firmware broke the focus and the new update fixed it back to 1.0

Lol
a7s3 Firmware 3.00 -This crap won't open raw files in Lightroom and you have to convert all your RAW files to TIFF and Tiff -format takes twice as much MB /file of storage. F*** you Sony )
🤔
Wanted to buy A1, ended with used A6600. I am glad I didn't spend 10x more money.
Im a fujifilm camera user. I went to the mall to check a7c2 and fx30. I was surprised by the screen display because at first I thought it was broken. 😂 Then i remember his video saying the display screen of sony cameras are trash
I dont get or think fx3 mark 2 will be out for a while. Look how good the image is compared to burano. How will Sony release a mark 2 fx3 thats better than a burano. Not possible for 5-10 years. What we think>?

Bro - that was killer footage of her in studio. Excellent work.
Thanks ☝️
It’s clear at this point Sony does not listen to its customer base.
🤷♂️
Yeah, I had the D2 and I loved that mic
👍👍
The A7S3 is a far more ideal camera for hybrid work compared to FX3. It’s not pumping out the resolution of an A7IV, but 12MP is more than enough for your average event photography work that most people won’t be able to discern.
The FX3 is a solid workhorse video camera, but if you do both stills and video, the FX3 is downright terrible for it. And while you jab your friends for sticking with the A7S3, I think the EVF makes for it a great case (on top of its stills capacity) to contend against the FX3 for video. And this update equalizes the disparity.
And god Vu, the same user lut argument, just for viewing on the same small FX3 screen that isn’t bigger or better than the A7S3? When you can load it into an external monitor? Common man.
At the end of the day, different strokes for different folks. I usually like your sarcastic critique, but this shit fest felt more on hating on your friends rather than being actually self aware and constructive.
Love your content man you’re one of a few honest UA-camrs left there
🙏🙏🙏
Won't be updating my camera
👍
2 lenses short of a lens rental 😂😂. You are one of the funniest youtubers I've ever watched!
Lol
On point, as always. F Sony and F me for falling for the hype.
Lol
Its very hard to find a critic channel like yours. I appreciate you picking holes in things. It actually really helps me see if i want the products or not. I never hear enough about the cons. I know there is no "perfect camera" but its gard to find my perfect camera when everyone makes the same videos!
Thank you!!! Cheers!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 The P. Diddy joke 😂😂😂
Lol
I don’t agree about the focus breathing comp. Focus breathing is pretty annoying especially on some of the recent GM lenses, the GM 35 1.4 was particularly bad in my experience. If you don’t want Focus breathing comp or don’t need it just turn it off. But I am definitely glad to have it on my fx3, zve1 and a7ciii.
Cool. Everyone has their preferences
The amount of crop it has I don’t have it on. I just don’t buy lenses with bad breathing. I have 35mm 1.8
The amount that FB comp crops in is based on the individual lens - some lenses crop more than others. In my experience pretty much all of the more recent G and GM lenses have some focus breathing. I guess if you have older lenses no need to turn it on. In any case it’s a good feature to have
I can’t even get the update on my mac (who knows why) but I’m not the mac owner messed up by the Mac Sony disconnect …I don’t get it.

Thanks for the video. On 2.02 When viewing images in playback mode there is a icon overlay that is virtually telling you if you press the playback button again while you're in that mode you can go back to shooting. Um... It's a professional camera, why does one need an distracting icon to tell them that they can go back to shooting by pressing a playback button when one can just press the shutter button. Is there any way to get rid of that distracting icon? Sometimes it covers up one of my subjects eyes. And it really kills the vibe when showing clients photos you have taken.
Ich habe die A1 am 13 Juli auf 2.02 aktualisiert sogar mit der Creators App.
Dies hat problemlos funktioniert.
Seit 13. August ist das Bluetooth einfach kaputt und funktioniert nicht mehr, keine Verbindung mit dem App und Smartphone mehr!!! Einfach so!
A1 ist unbrauchbar.
Auch die A7SIII hat’s schlimm erwischt mit dem neusten Update!!!
Sony Es reicht jetzt!
I’m so fed up of Sonys firmware updates I switched to Panasonic
🤔
“That is for another video involving P Diddy” 😂😂😂

I just started using LUTs. I have no message in my videos, but I wanted them to be real and orange. I bought a gimbal. It took 3 days to balance it.
It’s a hobby for me, but it’s fun to learn.
👍
I found an error with the connection between the a7siii and any zhiyun gimbal. The REC button no longer works on the gimbal and information such as AV is shown and controlled, but the ISO is changed incorrectly and randomly. Has anyone had this problem and managed to resolve it?
Vu, you are funny as hell, but you are speaking straight truth here!!! Vu, your thinking on your shoot was spot on, you must always be thinking about having audio covered for yourself. I can't tell you how many times that we were told it would be fine, but we instead had our Zoom F6, plugged into the mixing board, or some solution similar to what you did, which saved us from the douche bags that we were dealing with.
Long live VU-Diddy!!! I would have wanted custom Luts, Shutter Angle, and the ability to use hard drives, like the Panasonic. Cine EI isn't bad for what it is, which is what the A7SIII should have, but won't. I haven't upgraded from an A7SIII to a Fx3, because my business partner has one and we still use Blackmagic as well.
👍👍👍🤙🙏
I don't even own an A7SIII or A1, just here for the humor. Thanks for the Zhiyun fan noise reveal, I was taking an eye on that light, but now it's a no-no.
It's not noticeable in the video tho
Oh, Vu had a Sony TV growing up, means he was rich rich 😂 us common folk had the Sanyo lol
Or my parents worked 12 hours a day
a little more snarky than usual - very funny and accurate
Lol
bro, i like your channel, but the dbag youtube trash joke every 2 minutes in every video is getting old. The channel is nice, just get your point across (rant if you want too - it can be entertaining).
✌️
Honestly, i have the Sony A7C II - and even though people try to say its not a "professional" camera. I disagree. Its the same sensor as the A74 but with better optics and the newer AI chip with better auto focus, auto framing, etc. And of course, the ability to upload user LUTs. Ive been using them, and they work great on my camera and are fun to use! i love the A7C II - and i have the DJI Mic 2 when im filming for my church. If anyone has the DJI Mic 2, i HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend getting the DJI Lavelier lapel mic they came out with! No joke, somehow the audio sounds even better! Like a lot better! More fuller sound and its cool you can rotate the mic 360° to get it to aim wherever you clip it. So yeah, pro tip, get the Lav mic for the DJI 2. Anyways Vu, dont worry brother, Sony will eventually give those updates when the A9 III has been out for the next 30 years
Lol
Love it dude! So true 👏
A little scattered but still good. Wanted more info on why you dissed the update as some are strongly pushing it and others are panning it. I’m sitting on the fence playing the waiting game
Mainly the lack of user LUTS
After update using samyang lens. AF become very slow
So pretty much this makes the zv1 one of the best in videos now lol
Lol
hello Vu I love your content. You are good at describing complex things in a way so that everyone can understand. Vu I may need your help with one minor things regarding this update. I have the new firmware on my Sony A7s3 and have some issues with Auto focus with Face and Eye detection when set for Human subject. The issue is this: focus works fine when my head is horizontal but if I stay with my head upside down the camera fails to focus on my eyes. This did not happen with previous firmware version (2.10 I know not quite previous but that was last before updating to 2.15 and 3.0. Please let me know if you experience this kind of issue also. Maybe somehow is a problem. Happens with both lenses that I have GM2 24-70 & GM2 16-35mm. Kind regards and thank you so much in advance.
Hey I have no idea didn't have a7SIII anymore
@@nVuFilms thank you for the reply. I wil continue to check what they did with this firmware update that practically makes autofocus issues ...
yah...never cared about focus breathing.....

Tell em Vu!

The anti dust and cleaned up icons on the screen are a W for me tho
The timecode update is all I care about
Cool. For me it is currently not that important
Hahaha i’m malaysian Sony D.. thanks for the view. Really enjoy your content.
🙏🙏
Good evening , 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.
Bro I don't work for Sony nor does Sony contact me for anything
Omg, finally someone sane. Focus breathing is such a gimmick. There are many iconic classic cinema lenses that have focus breathing and cinematographers don't avoid it. You can see it happen in many classic films.
Us Sony fans are not blind followers, we love Sony for what they do and we're aware of things that need to be called out.
💯 my guy
I like you !

Yep. The z8/z9 looking pretty good.
Dude you dont need the lut.
👀
But, how do you connect the DJI to the D1?
3.5mm to xlr
I thought the mic needed 48v?
@@joedc6995 with a AA battery.
I don’t own any of these cameras, but when you bought these models…did you buy it based on future updates & features? Why complain about free updates you never had when you bought the camera.
Because they did it for the FX3 and didn't for the a7SIII. Also firmware updates is the norm with electronics even with $30 led lights
They basically advertised the shit out of animal eye detect on Sony a1 … oh but it doesn’t work in video….. huuuuuhhhhh
This update is trash. No animal eye detect
🤷♂️
Of course I assume they unlocked custom white balance in memory recall?
🤷♂️
You can buy grid lines for $149, but it's only for 1 camera
Lol
Is anamorphic monitoring in the new update? I don't see it anywhere
It's not. Just me rambling in general about Sony firmware updates for other cameras
Does that shotgun mic need phantom power?
Needs 1 AA battery or phantom power
What luts do you use on camera vu?
thank you! and like CC said, all we wanted was animal eye detect
