Alpha 1 Firmware Update

An Alpha 1 Firmware Update has been released. The main thing about this firmware update is the long awaited small, medium, and large RAW settings. Sony shooters have been asking for it since the a6000 was launched.

  • Fixes an issue where the remote shooting may not work with Imaging Edge Desktop (Remote)
  • Fixes an issue where the remote shooting may not work with Imaging Edge Desktop (Remote)
  • Adds the 4:2:2 10bit selection when shooting XAVC HS 8K

Using the newly added 8K 4:2:2 10bit capabilities, filmmakers and cinematographers can more precisely customize the vibrancy and color grading of their recordings. Combined with the Alpha 1’s 8.6K oversampling for extraordinary 8K resolution, the new addition of 4:2:2 10-bit recording lets filmmakers and content creators realize their creative vision with incredible realism and color.
