EX-1 like F350?

[Curt Pair]

Craig is correct again! I’ll be honest… I spent about 5 minutes looking for the update, and found about 8 links to it! One was on another forum… I know some of those guys as they are “Sony ICE Team” members too, so I thought to be a reputable place to find and use it… it worked great.

You are correct… Sony doesn’t let authorized Dealers update the camera either…. HOWEVER, I was told a “minimum of two weeks and as long as a five week turn around time…”

When I found out that it takes about 20 minutes per camera to perform… and Sony wanted $100 per unit, AND I could be out of EX cameras for a month… I chose to go “another route…”

I’m certainly by NO MEANS suggesting that EVERYONE do this! Warranty issues, comfort level, etc. come into play here… each owner has to make that decision for themselves.

I am saying there are alternative and proven methods if you wish to do it yourself. I KNOW an individual who did this them self, then had a “head phone jack” issue… Sony didn’t realize the update hadn’t been done by their own company… they covered the repair under warranty!

That may NOT happen in every circumstance! User/Updater be warned!
