Sony A6000 - Lens System Version

[garyngkt]

Hi all,

 

I recently just got my A6000 and already upgraded the firmware to 2.0. Do I also need to upgrade the lens system version because my current version is .01?.

 

Based on the info here http://www.sony.com.my/support/download/523458/product/ilce-6000l

only those lenses listed need to have this lens system upgraded correct?.

 

Thanks.

what do you do if you have a Mac? How do you upgrade the lens firmware to be compatible with the camera's ver 2.0 firmware??

^{Hi Gary,}

 

^{Yes, only the lenses listed need to be upgraded}

 

^{I recently upgraded my a6000 too to firmware 2.0.
My lens version is 1.0 (for my 16-50 lens)}

 

^{This page has an update for the 55-210, that I also have but when I attach the 55-210 to make the upgrade the lens version shows 2.0.}

^{So I figured out that the lens version shown in the camera is based on the lens you have attached to it.}

Hi Stelios,

 

Thanks for your feedback. Interesting to know the lens system version shows different when different lenses are mounted.
