Sony Alpha Firmware Updates: Support for G Master Lenses

Sony has released Firmware Update 3.10 which adds Sony G Master lens support for Sony a7, a7R, a7S, a7II, a7RII, a6000 and a5100 mirrorless cameras. I’m told by Sony USA that Firmware Update is not required for a7SII. Sony firmware updates are cumulative so if you missed previous update(s) you will also get firmware improvements from the updates that you skipped.

Firmware version 3.10 provides the following Improvements:

• Adds Sony G Master lens support.
• Phase-detection AF is supported (on applicable cameras)
• The lens name will be correctly recorded in the EXIF
• The AF can be used in movie recording mode with the SEL85F14GM
