14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Sony has made available a new firmware version targeted at its Cyber Shot RX100 and RX100 II compact cameras, namely build 1.10, which improves the units’ lens vibration and sound noise while using the auto-focus function.
An important step that you should perform prior to initiating any upgrade process is checking your camera’s currently installed firmware version by going to Menu > Setup > Version, and making sure it isn’t either newer or matching this update.
Afterwards, if all is ok, save the appropriate package for your system configuration. Sony has provided two downloadable files: one compatible with Microsoft’s Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems, and one suitable for Mac OS X 10.6 and later platforms.
Now close all programs and processes that might interfere with the installation, run Sony’s firmware updater, and carefully follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a successful upgrade.
Once completed, close the update utility, remove the USB cable that connects your camera to the computer, and check the currently installed firmware once more to ensure the upgrade has been performed properly.
Bear in mind that for this task to be successfully carried out, you should use a fully charged battery and no memory card must be present in the compact camera.
In addition to that, make sure not to disconnect the battery or USB cable before finishing the update, or your device will encounter various malfunctions. Also, since this process takes about 15 minutes to complete, it is imperative that you set up your computer to avoid entering sleep mode.
With this in mind, download Sony DSC-RX100 Camera Firmware 1.10 or download Sony DSC-RX100M2 Camera Firmware 1.10 for your appropriate system configuration, take into account all aforementioned steps, and enjoy your newly-improved device.
