Sony has released its latest firmware update for the a9II, bringing with it a collection of new and improved features.
Starting with what´s new, firmware version 2.00 for the Sony a9 II adds a new `Hi Frequency Flicker´ function that helps to `reduce the impact of flickering of artificial light sources (e.g. digital signage, electronic signboards, LED lights, etc.), by more finely adjusting the shutter speed.´ Also added is a new function that will close the shutter when you turn off the camera to minimize the chance of dirt or dust getting on the image sensor.
Sony has also added the ability to assign the Face/Eye Priority autofocus setting to a custom key that will activate and deactivate the setting when pressed. Those who already have Face/Eye Priority set to a custom key will be able to deactivate it with that same button after the 2.00 update is complete.
Other improvements include updates to the Remote Camera Tool function, improved FTP transfers, the option to display the camera´s MAC address as a QR code and other improvements that should improve the overall stability of the camera.
Sony also notes that the Image Edge Remote, Imaging Edge Mobile and Remote Camera Tool will no longer be supported after tomorrow, April 9, but doesn`t elaborate on what exactly that means going forward. We have contacted Sony and will clarify these details when we receive a response.
You can download firmware version 2.00 for macOS and Windows on Sony´s a9 II support page.
