Indeed already downloaded. On the rear screen now are I think the FN icons permanently, they are quite useful when I have the rear screen open. I usually have the screen turned in on itself and ignore it a lot of the time.

So when I do open the screen, sometimes this is useful to have those icons and sometimes NOT. Is it possible to change this?

Try pressing the display button.

I normally shoot with the screen closed also.

Thanks 4 presses of the Disp button gets me away from that, so thank you, even if I normally shoot with the screen closed, I learnt something thanks to you.

Has anyone got any idea what the new version brings to the a75r mine is still on original version , as the camera gets very little use

I think us “mature” photographers tend to shoot with the view finder, harkening back to our film days. I’v noticed many younger folks using the full screen.

After the debacle with the A7IV update recently I haven't heard of any problems with the A7RV but I'll probably wait another week before I upgrade.

I did the update yesterday, and the UK site was having issues according to the site it`s self and the number of times the download failed to download properly for me! I do worry when doing version updates from Sony, I have a couple of lens updates to do now the 200-600 and the 100-400

Having recently come back to Sony gear, I have to say their registration process is the worst I ever came up against. It is also not good to see other people 'worry about doing updates with Sony'. I complained to SOny about registration and their answer was virtually go find a Windows computer, to which I replied I left that years ago. So writing to them was a waste of time. In the end I 'discovered' registering can be done easily on an iPad or iPhone - but not on my Mac.
