Hi !

I experience reduced start up time .

I'm not sure about the "fast hybrid AF", i thought the camera (a7) had a kind of hybrid focus system already.

I have not tested the image quality bit.

It is mentioned support for additional "Play Memories Camera Apps" , does this mean that there will be new apps released for the a7 /a7r soon ?

And the "liveview grading" and "smoth reflections" ,are they new apps also?

I have chequed the "Play Memories Camera Apps" site and there is nothing new since before the firmware update .

I am satisfied with the update so far.

Still no aspect ratios like 1:1 and 4:5, why not? It's relatively simple to implement and for many users it would be a very welcome addition.

I think the LiveView grading is something for the the video side of things to give a preview of how things could look when recording?

Is there any way software could be updated by Sony so that flash syc could be at 250/sec as opposed to 160th... needed to freeze movement in the studio.
