Sony a55 firmware update

Are there any news on Sony slt-a55 firmware update? What do you think should be implemented to update?

I think there are some things that need to be fixed. First in my list is: more manual controls to movie mode. We need controls to shutter speed, iso and more recording modes like 720p/60fps.

Hopefully Sony will deliver firmware update soon!

I would very much appreciate a new clock option to set the clock to the 24 hour format. I am very annoyed with the 12 hour (AM/PM) option, which might have been adequate in the 19th century in the USA, but not anymore in a computerized world where people are travelling through time zones, physically and virtually.

Cheers,

Paul

I woul love a function with Grid Lines when a 3:2 format is chosen showing the 16:9 area. It would allow using 3:2 (larger size) format even though taking pictures for use with 16:9 (for TV display). This is implemented in cheap FujiFilm compact cameras and lacks in a55.

Movie operation setting. There are many issues: camera is overheating too easily. Stop recording after only 7 minutes of continuous shooting. Too hot, too hot, too hot. It's impossible work in this mode.

At Last “Available beginning June 20th, a firmware update for existing α33 and α55 cameras adds several creative and operational enhancements. Support for the ‘Picture Effect’ function featured on the new α35 model is now offered. High-Speed Synch is supported during wireless operation with a compatible external flash (α55 only). Ergonomics are further improved with revised menus and a new mode that lets users switch shooting parameters overlaid on-screen for clear, uncluttered composition. The a33 and a55camera’s Digital Level Gauge can also be displayed when shooting via the optional CLM-V55 external LCD monitor. Frequently used features can now be custom-assigned to the D-RANGE button for rapid, menu-free access.” Source. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/category/miscellaneous/

Sony still need to deliver firmware update for the A55 that includes control over the audio level.

suggestions are:

1) Manual/automatic level control option

2) Audio metering

3) Audio attenuation switch -5dB, -10dB
