The USA website doesn't list it yet but I am able to download it from the Canadian website.

You can borrow it from us. Ha ha.

Merci a mes amis Canadiens!

In English that translates to "Thanks, eh."

Downloaded from Canadian site but may not get around to installing until tomorrow.

I updated mine tonight. Everything went fine.

This may be a silly question, but do we need to uninstall the S-Log key before upgrading the firmware?

Nope, just leave it on there.

Upgraded fine as well.

Used a Sonnet SxS SDHC adapter with 32gb SDHC card. No problems at all

Of course the menu may say 'colour' but thanks for the favour. LOL Good spot Ryan.

Please excuse my ongoing ignorance, but why is it good that we can now access the HDSDI A port whilst using s-log. This was apparently a very popular request, according to Sony's website.

That allows you to send a LOG 4:2:2 signal to your external recorder and still use the monitor port with a viewing LUT to help judge exposure and general look of the scene being captured. Before this update the camera wasn't 4:2:2 recorder friendly.

Thank you.

Do you need to install 1.2 before 1.3?

Chris Medico January 14th, 2012 01:39 PM

Re: Firmware 1.3 is out
 
Nope. Just install v1.3 from a card and you are good to go.

Be sure to use a power supply or a FULLY charged battery. If the camera looses power in the middle of the upgrade it could mean a trip to Sony for repair.

Re: Firmware 1.3 is out
 
This is great news--it's been a bit punishing to deal with S-log 4:2:2 with the prior limitations! Also s-log 60 frame capture seems to be supported which was another sticky wicket (will be shortly tackling the color correction required to match non s-log overcranked footage with 24 s-log footage within the same scene...ugh)

Re: Firmware 1.3 is out
 
Is it possible with this 1.3 upgrade to record a REC709 type of LUT to the internal 4:2:0 SxS cards? That would be most helpful as recording an S-Log output to those cards would be pretty much useless in post.

Chris Medico January 16th, 2012 03:02 PM

Re: Firmware 1.3 is out
 
Yes. That is how the S-Log mode works. Your viewing LUT is recorded to the internal SxS cards.

Looks like Sony got that one right.
