In the Sony F5/F55's previous firmware versions, scene files had to be loaded manually via the Paint menu. Now, with the latest v3.0 update, there is a dedicated menu that supports the loading of scene files onto an SD card, as well as the camera's internal memory.

With the latest 3.0 firmware update, Sony has given users the ability to shoot a variety of high frame rates, but many people are still a bit confused about how to get to their desired frame rate. I've created a flow chart to help de-mystify the process, but first, let's go over the menu options needed.

Over the last couple of days, we've had some time to play with Sony's recently-released F5/F55 firmware version 3.0. The new firmware has tons of updates, which are outlined in Jeff's previous blog, but I wanted to specifically highlight a couple of the new features including Super16 Center Scan mode, new LUT options, and High Frame Rate mode.

Sony has added a ton of new features to the F5 and F55 with the release of their version 2.0 firmware (which you can download directly from Sony's Community site).

Yesterday, Sony announced an updated firmware roadmap which outlines a bunch of great new features for the F55 and F5 coming in the months ahead.

One of the more interesting features of the Sony F55 is its ability to record in 4K XAVC video while simultaneously recording in HD. This gives you the option of editing right away in the Sony MPEG2 HD format as a proxy, and then linking back to the 4K XAVC compression for finishing. Sounds great right?

With the release of firmware version 1.2 for the PMW-F5 & F55 cameras, Sony included the ability to run some menus via a wireless device.

Sony recently released firmware version 1.2 for the F5 & F55 cameras, which is a pretty big update that adds many features and fixes like Wi-Fi remote control support and SR Codec recording.

A little while ago, Sony released the latest firmware for the F5 & F55 cameras, as well as the AXS-R5 Raw recorder. Version 1.15 of the F5/F55 firmware has some small incremental updates, with mostly bug fixes included. However, some big changes include improved naming conventions on the AXS card, de-anamorphic function on the viewfinder, and a warning when you haven't black balanced in a while.
