Sony A7 IV Sony A7 IV Firmware Update v2.00

[Tim Mayo]

The latest firmware update for the Sony a7 IV is now version v2.00.

When updating from v1.01 or earlier, you need to update to v1.05 first before updating to v2.00. The install will fail if you try to update to v2.00 directly from v1.00 or v1.01.

If the access lamp repeats 5 long blinks (0.5sec. cycle) and 6 short blinks (0.25sec. cycle), the system software update failed. In this case, remove the battery and memory card from the camera, and start over.

Ver 2.00 adds the following benefits and improvements:

1. Adds support for the Creators’ App
   Note: The new Creators’ App mobile application is available to replace the Imaging Edge Mobile app. The Creators’ App allows you to transfer images from the camera to your smartphone, shoot remotely, and use various functions.
2. Adds functions that improve security when connecting for remote shooting and image transferring with Creators’ App and Imaging Edge Desktop software
   Note: Please update the Imaging Edge Desktop software to the latest version (Ver.3.6 or later)
3. Improves the operational stability of the camera

For customers who have been using Imaging Edge Mobile app:

• Updated cameras will no longer be able to connect to Imaging Edge Mobile app. After updating the camera, install the Creators’ App.
• Please make sure Imaging Edge Mobile app is the latest version (Ver.7.7.2 or later) in order to pair the camera with the Creators’ App.
• If you are using an iPhone/iPad, after updating the camera, turn off the Phone/iPad and turn it on again. Then pair the camera with the Creators’ App.

If Imaging Edge Mobile app is not the latest version, update it before trying to pair the camera with the Creators’ App.

For instructions on installing and connecting the Creators’ App, please refer to Migrating from Imaging Edge Mobile app to Creators’ App.

FYI: I just updated from version 1.1 to 2.0 and it completed in less than 5 minutes without problems.

It didn't explode yet? I wouldn't keep it in your house or near anything flammable for a couple of days...
