Sony Releases Major Firmware Updates for FX3 & FX30 Cinema Cameras

Published: September 12, 2024

UPDATE 9/13/24: Sony has suspended FX3 Firmware Update 6.00 & FX30 Firmware Update 5.00 after some users reported their camera failed to start-up after installing the update. The update has been pulled from the support website while Sony engineers investigate the cause. When update conflicts have happened up in the past, it boiled down to a single camera setting that needs to be changed before updating. If you already updated without a hitch – you’re fine. Sony engineers just have to figure out which of the myriad of camera setting is causing the conflict.

Sony releases major Firmware Updates for FX3 & FX30 cinema cameras. FX3 Firmware 6.00 and FX30 Firmware 5.00 are available via memory card.
