A7IV Firmware Update: 1.01 (Patreon)

Sony have released a new 1.01 firmware update for the camera. You can find the download by going to the Sony site, clicking on Support and then entering the product name ILCE-7M4 and then clicking on the 'Downloads' tab.

I am pleased to report that I was able to do the update my camera on my M1 Mac (not previously possible) after first installing the new Camera Updater App. I am also pleased to report that the update did not Initialize the camera so none of my settings needed to be reinstated. (no new CAMSET needed.

Sony list Eye AF as one of the features that has changed. Sony will undoubtedly have tried to push the focus back 1/4 inch from the eyelashes to the iris of the eye. This will not impact my own workflow as I usually photograph the person no closer than head and shoulders and my subjects, eyebrow, eyelashes and iris are all sharp - even at f/1.8.
I am sure some photographers, however, will be delighted that Sony have addressed this concern.
