Sony PMW-F5 CineAlta 4K Camera Firmware 2.1

This firmware can be updated from any existing firmware version of PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 directly. After updating to 2.1, F55/F5 must not be downgraded to previous version.

Attention:

- When you directly update F55 and F5 to 2.1 from 1.15 and earlier, you must do “All Reset” in System menu. Otherwise 2.1 software becomes unstable. If you want to maintain menu setting before update, please save “All File” in File menu and load it after updating. If you had already updated F55 and F5 to V1.20 and later and did “All Reset”, you don’t need to do “All Reset” again.
