Thanks for your caution. Yours is the first negative I have heard regarding the upgrade in firmware with the EX1r. There are many sad tales of upgrades being tried with the EX3 (including almost complete destruction of the camera’s inner workings) but yours is the first to mention a problem with the EX1r upgrade. If Sony is having a “little problem”….I can imagine what a tech challenged person like me might do in the situation,.

I’m grateful to you for getting back to us on the subject.

All the best

Grateful for your advice. I will try Calibrated Software in the short term and see what I can learn. My resistance to buying and owning FCP in any form is that I am not an editor…..and work with wonderful editors of my serious projects. Don’t want to get sucked in.

BUT….it seems every time I turn around….I find myself needing FCP to live in the new digital world.

I will let you know what I learn

Having Sony do it by far the best option….so good luck to you. Should be the solution with the least possibility of something going wrong.

Please let me know what benefits you feel you get from the new fimware….over the old one.

ThanksSR

Thanks for the information. Please let me know what differences you note between the new 1.1.1 camera and your older 1.0 cameras. I am on the fence as to whether to make the download. Everything I have done with mine (without upgrade) has worked very well.

I use Transcend Class 6 cards…..and efilms…MxR adapters. Everything works great including 60fps.

Thanks again

Bob Look forward to hearing what you learn. Do I understand that you have 3 EX1r’s…or is it 6? Isn’t the 1.1.1 the latest firmware after all?

What,may I ask ,do you do with all those cameras?

All best
