Sony Issues a7S II Firmware Update, Fixing "Black Hole Sun" Problem

by Nino LeitnerNovember 20^th, 2015

Today, Sony has already issued a firmware update (v 1.10) for their new a7S II mirrorless camera that fixes the “black hole sun” problem that we reported about just over a week ago.

A word from Sony:

(…) It is designed to eliminate the occurrence of a black spot that may appear in frame when shooting in a specific set of high intensity light conditions. The new firmware, version 1.10, will be available for download through Sony’s e-support site http://www.sony.eu/support/ on the product page for model “ILCE-7SM2”.

This is the direct link to the UK site for the a7S II firmware update:

Wolfcrow has already posted a video demonstrating the fixed footage.
