Sony PMW-EX1 Firmwares?
Hi Everyone,
Wondering if anyone has a copies of older firmware for the PMW-EX1 or know where I can download. Before I sell this camera off for parts, I'd like to try downgrading the firmware to see if it will help. I have tried resetting all settings in camera and taking out the clock battery. This fixed one of the issues, however only temporarily. I don't know how old this particular camera is, but it does have v1.30. Many Thanks. |

I have the following "VersionUpTool_PMW-EX1_1.20(Win)" also the Mac version. Dated 2010. Let me know if they are of any use to you.

Re: Sony PMW-EX1 Firmwares?
Yes please. Feel free to send me a message privately or would you rather post the link in this thread?
I'm willing to try anything software wise that can be done by the user. I thought about replacing the SDI board myself, but it looks a bit more complicated than taking the Z1U apart. I took that apart to replace the component output connector. Very disappointed. I thought I would be happy with the component output but it just seems too soft compared to the other cams in the church, which are all HDMI to SDI. Many Thanks. |

Re: Sony PMW-EX1 Firmwares?
I guess I should have asked first if it's possible to downgrade or does anyone know how to. I tried to but it says "the connected device has already been upgraded."
Any help would be much appreciated. M |

Re: Sony PMW-EX1 Firmwares?
I believe Sony service centers have the ability to "downgrade" the EE-PROM in most of the cameras with the special software/hardware tools they have or by replacing the EE-PROM itself. Well beyond most of us I would suggest.

Re: Sony PMW-EX1 Firmwares?
Well that's disappointing.
I did do some self diagnostics and found a few problems. 1) - Type 2 - Item 1 - Lens Driving Check fail 2) - Type 2 - Item 3 - test completely freezes. Along with the SDI output not working. I checked a few places sounds like an expensive repair :(. I'll try it a bit more. If not it will go on ebay with noted conditions. Thanks to everyone on the forums for the help. Much appreciated. |
