Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

Yeah, this can be the rationale behind it - but still, if you find peaking distracting (which may happen even in normal view), you should be able to deactivate it at will...

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

Why can't these manufacturers do everybody a favour and make world cameras, that are all PAL/NTSC switchable, world wide warranties, and world wide service and support. Totally disgraceful IMO.

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

With the V2 firmware, the FS100 becomes just that: 50/60i switchable; unfortunately each time you switch between the 2 modes, a reboot is required - plus you'll need to either format your SD card, or replace it with one recorded with the "'right" format...

This is another V2 quirk - I was hoping to gain access to the 24/60 slow motion (in PAL area it's just 25/50), but with the way it's implemented, switching is too much hassle...

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

My usage hours reset to zero after firmware v2
Also peaking works in expanded mode (4x/8x under v2)

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

Are you 100% sure, Junior? That would be weird - many people confirmed there is no peaking in V2 Expanded Focus views...

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

I just checked my camera. I get peaking with 2x expanded focus, but not seeing it with 4x.

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

Jeff - you mean you had peaking with 2x expansion with the V1 firmware V1, but now with the V2 you don't have it anymore with 4/8x expansion, right? This is the only way I can understand what you wrote :)

Some other observations... When the SD card is full, you cannot just delete the clips and preserve your SETTING directory with profiles:

- formatting the card also deletes the profiles
- it's possible to delete clips in the player mode, but no shortcut to select them all - marking each of them one by one is so tedious !

Unless I'm missing something obvious, the new firmware has not been thoroughly thought over...

PS. Has anyone checked if deleting the STREAM directory contents (all clips) on a computer leaves the SD card in a working condition when inserted back to the camera?

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

I can't open the link to the firmware on this site. It gets in a loop, you don't get to the firmware.

The micro site Dan Asseff refers to only gives the U versions, not the E (europe).

On no other European/Dutch sony site I find any reference to the firmware upgrade.

Can anyone help?

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

the link works,i just tried it and it gave me the direct link to sony Europe with new firmware..
try this one:http://support.pro.sony.eu/software/...el=NEX-FS100EK
hope it works for you

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

or this:Sony | Micro Site NXCAM & AVCHD

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

Thanks Samer. But did you actually click on the link of the firmware? When I do I get a message like "Too many redirects occured trying to open .....etc." and then the thing stops.

And the Sony | Micro site only shows the US version. Elsewhere I read that the US version and the European version are not the same, but I don't know if that is correct.

Re: Just update my fs100 firmware
 

you can go to this site:Sony : NEX-FS700E (NEXFS700E) : Product Overview : United Kingdom
and the click service & support and then click technical support information and in serch model you click fs 100 and it will take you to the model with firmware update...
