Apples newest OS 10.13 (High Sierra) is crashing when trying to update Sony firmware.
I just got the new A7R3 and also bought the SEL24-70mm GM. (The A7R3 is fantastic BTW!!!!)
The 24-70 needed to update to the newer version 2.0.
I've done this several times on lots of my other sony cameras and lenses without and issues.
After crashing several times (that I have not experienced with a Mac for many years), I find out that there is an issue with the High Sierra and the Sony update software.
How is this really possible? The OS has been Beta testing for a long period already, so this should have been fixed long ago.
What about all the newcomers to Sony cameras that are using Apple? They will have the same problems when they buy their lenses that needs upgrades.
I'm really not impressed by either Apple or Sony by this. No communication in between them? Hey wake up!
Any solutions anyone of a roundabout, except using my sons PC?
Thanks.
