Sony a7 IV Firmware 1.10 adds Lossless RAW File Options, Improved Accuracy & Operability

Sony a7 IV Firmware Update 1.10 adds Lossless RAW File Options, Improved Accuracy & Operability and this firmware is finally available via SD Card!!! Please note that if you are updating from a version lower than Firmware 1.01, you need to first update to Firmware 1.05 before running the Firmware 1.10 Update. See Below.

SAN DIEGO, CA – August 23, 2022 – Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the v1.1 firmware update for the Alpha 7 IV full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, adding Lossless Compressed RAW in three sizes for still images, shutter speed and ISO setting retention, touch shutter function, improved Eye AF (autofocus) accuracy and more. ​ ​

The update adds Lossless Compressed RAW files in S, M and L (small, medium or large) file sizes – a highly requested feature. Selecting L size preserves the same image quality as an uncompressed RAW format while significantly reducing the file size. The M and S sizes record fewer pixels than the L size, providing even smaller RAW file sizes.

Alpha 7 IV firmware 1.10 allows photographers to retain shutter speed and ISO settings for flash photography. This newest update also offers a Touch Shutter Function and improves the accuracy of the Eye AF feature.
